I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.


Personally, I think that the drool in this photo carries a certain je ne sais quoi. Sure, on the missus after a big night out, it's not a great look, but a ten month old gets a degree of grace in this regard. I took this one with Ez sitting on our front lawn as we gave Henry a bit of space on Saturday.

Pros and Cons of Toddlers Part Five

Pro #5: They're LOVING. Henry tells me at least ten times a day that he loves me. Sure, it's often followed by requests for lolly snakes, but I think that he means it.

Con #4: They're ROUGH. Henry has been known to fatten my lip, graze my brow, bruise both shins, dislocate my pinkie finger and rupture my left kidney, all at the same time. And that is just goodnight kisses!

I don't think your baby is a baby any longer. This child is now early stage toddler! How your babies are growing. I trust that I still recognise them when next we meet. Ha ha, that is a grandpa joke. I am certainly looking forward to spending time with them as soon as I get home.

in my part of India they say drooling and baby hiccups are good signs.......it means the baby is growing and is in good health..no scientific explanation but i too believe in it.

Roddy, he'll ALWAYS be my baby.
Kris McCracken said…
Kavita, if dribbling is a good sign, Ez is the healthiest baby in the world!
Dina said…
Great catch. This might be the first photo of a little one drooling that I've ever seen.
Kris McCracken said…
Dina, people avoid the drool. I say EMBRACE the drool. Ezra is all about the drool at the moment.
yamini said…
Ezra is drool-worthy, no doubt about it. And the colour of his eyes, now that I see it clearly in this sunlit photograph, is simply beautiful!!!!!

Love to him...
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, he is a hunk, of that there is no doubt!
Tash said…
lovely mug shot & another one that will diminish your authority over the teenage Ez :)
but he is soooo cute - with or without the drool
yamini said…
I second that!!!

But dnt forget, Henry has months of experience to count on, so there is going to be serious competition between the two hunks at your house.

My vote will be split between the two. :-))
Kris McCracken said…
Tash, Ez respects me, and he always will! I'll make him...
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, TWO hunks?!?!

You're short one hunk!
yamini said…
You took more than 12 hours to respond on that!?!?!?!

I expected a faster reaction!!!!

You are right, though. The count is 3. No doubt about it. :-))

This photo is priceless! Just too cute. He should be the Gerber baby on all the baby products in the USA. :)
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, I am old. Forgive me...
Kris McCracken said…
Denise, feel free to send his photo to any big companies! Our rates are reasonable...

;)
yamini said…
Nevertheless, you are a hunk still!!!!!
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, well, I cannot deny that reality...
yamini said…
Your humility is really touching!!!!
I hope Henry and Ezra take that lesson from you!!!
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, my only real floor is that I am too humble...
yamini said…
Ever asked Jen's opinion on that?? I am sure she knows the truth...
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, Jen is very cruel.

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
