Welcome to my blog. I hope that I will be able to inform and entertain you through stories, photos, videos, observations, and more of and about my son, Eric.
Eric is the first child for my wife, Debbie, and me. He is (in our opinion) the cutest, most adorable, and lovable little boy ever. He was born in May 2008. This was the happiest moment of my life. God has blessed us with a beautiful son.
There is a cliche that everyone has heard parents say “They grow up so fast!” and they really do. When we brought Eric home from the hospital he weighed less than 8 pounds and could be held in one hand. Now, less than 16 months later, he is 34″ tall and weighs more than 24 pounds. For those keeping score, he is 99th percentile in height for boys his age and 50th percentile in weight…tall and skinny. He is walking, running, climbing, talking (just words, no sentences), dancing, singing (humming), playing ball, feeding himself…
My wife and I both agree that if we had known how much joy raising a child could bring, we would have started sooner.
Anyway, this is the start of my blog. I am new to this format. For a nerd, I am surprisingly unaware of most internet trends. Does a facebook have faces in a book? I thought a twitter was a high frequency speaker…but isn’t it spelled tweeter? Oh well, I finally started a blog. I know, I know, blogs are last year’s internet trend. Maybe I will get on facebook and twitter next year after the next trend is already started. At least I had my own domain and website 10 years ago. Of course the website hasn’t changed much in those 10 years, except the addition of Eric’s web page to showcase his photos and videos.
That’s all for now. I don’t know how often I will add to this blog. That will depend mostly on my spare time, of which I have very little lately. I will try to make time and be somewhat consistent for those following.
