Did I mention he had a small head? These are the smallest glasses the baby store had. Bring on summer.

Still working on the letter D.

I'm having a little trouble coming up with a sketch for the letter C, I'm not happy with it yet. This is what I've come up with so far:

So this is the view Porter has from his crib. Not the clearest picture ever, but you get the idea of the kind of childhood trauma he is experiencing:

So we took the little guy in for his 2 month doctor's apt. Turns out he is in the 84th percentile for weight and length, but only the 25th for head size. So, he's a bit of a pinhead, but a pretty darn cute pinhead. My wife is convinced that his small head size makes him look slightly less like an alien than the average newborn. Overall we think his proportions are good, but it is sort of hard to find a hat that fits.

Installment "B"

Month 2

As you can see from the photo, we are attempting to raise our child in the carnival sideshow tradition. While I am hoping to make it as a bearded lady, Porter is well on his way to becoming the family strong man. My beautiful wife is deciding between knife thrower and the Ringmaster.

The little guy has hit the two month mark and is healthy as can be. He is already starting to bust out of the three month sized clothes. Brittany and I are adjusting well as parents; managing to grab enough shut eye to keep functioning and once in a while I change a diaper without getting pee'd on.

I've also been away from the office for over 2 months now. Brittany likes her job and is way better at bringing home the bacon than I am, so she has started back to work and whilst I am blessed with the opportunity to stay home with the little guy. I definitely have the better end of the deal. It is a surreal how much things have changed, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm hoping this blog will help me keep track of the passage of time, document our parenting failures and successes, as well as to motivate me draw and paint. I plan to post the occasional photo as well as a daily coloring book page that I am drawing to keep Porter entertained (once he is old enough to grasp a crayon without shoving it up his nose). We might throw in a recipe here and there if we can manage the energy to cook something up.

The doodle for today is the first of an alphabet coloring book I've been considering for a while:
