Close up

Amanda was looking at a friend's blog where they recently posted new pictures of their little girl. Amanda noticed that they had close up shots of their daughter and was wanting to get some close ups of Joshua.

This is why we don't usually get close ups of Joshua:

Have a good Sunday.

Sleep like a baby

This is a cliché that I have been thinking about recently. To me it generally means I slept well. I didn’t have any background with babies or how they slept – except when I was a baby and I don’t remember back then – until Joshua was born. After having a baby of my own I take it to mean that you woke up every two hours crying and wanting to be rocked, shushed, or fed warm milk to be put back to sleep. Let me just say that I hope I never sleep like a baby again.

Happy New Year!!

Amanda and I barely made it until midnight last night. We watched a couple of movies and ate pizza and spent most of the evening trying to get Joshua to stay asleep in bed. I was literally falling asleep five minutes before midnight and Amanda counted down the last few seconds to me.

The movies we watched were pretty disappointing. They were the Simpson’s Movie and Harry Potter 5. Maybe they would have been better if we didn’t have to pause every 15 minutes to go and get Joshua or get something else to eat. But I think I still wouldn’t have liked them. By this point in the HP series the books are so long that it is hard to make a movie that gets everything pertinent into it. Even if the important things and people are introduced for 5 seconds only, the movie is still way too long and slow – at least for my liking.
