Wow, these are amazing. I think my favorite is the one of the baseball pitcher.

15 months

Sebo has been doing some things recently that are just blowing us away.
He has his own little chair and when he sits in it he puts his feet up on the ottoman.
He was holding two packs of plastic bowls, one in each hand. He wanted to also hold a pack of silver muffin tins. So he figured out he could stack both packs of bowls in one hand and grab the muffin tins with the other.
We have a child-proof device on our front doorknob. The other day he figured out how dismantle it. Then he proceeded to attempt putting it back together.
He turns on his sound machine before he goes to bed.
A couple weeks ago at his Granny’s house, he was watering the grass and his red fish-shaped watering can ran out of water. He picked up the hose and stuck it into the watering can to fill it up, but he noticed there was no water coming out of the hose. So he walked over to the house and tried to turn the water on.
We have watched him try to cheer up his uncle who was having a very hard day.
Every day he just keeps growing and advancing. It’s an amazing thing to watch!
Bert & Ernie & Gangsta Rap

Michelle found this the other day. It’s probably about the greatest single thing I’ve ever seen on the internet.
Even dad can do it.

I was with Michelle and Sebo at the self-checkout in Kroger and I overheard the self-serve Kodak picture center blaring out a voice-recording, advertising their Easy and Quick collage system. The thing that struck me as strange was when the woman’s voice said “Making a collage with your photos is so easy, even dad can do it.” Made me think of the Geico “Even a caveman can do it” commercials.
Thanks, Kodak.
Featured Artist

Apparently I’m the first featured artist on WhatsUpLU.com, a Lipscomb University blog about Nashville and college. I don’t have a clue what this means or how it happened, but I’m honored :) Check it out here.
Almost here.

I can’t believe he’s about to turn one. Tomorrow is the anniversary of his original due date. Sunday is his birthday party. Next Wednesday is his actual birthday. Unbelievable.
Gravity

We had lunch at a local pizza shop today. While we were there, we witnessed no fewer than three (3) different kids either tip their chairs over or fall out of them completely. One of these was a toddler in a high-chair. Everyone seemed to be okay. But this further supports my theory that the island from LOST did, indeed move, and it has repositioned itself in 2009, directly underneath Snappy Tomato Pizza. And for some reason the bizarre electromagnetic properties are only seeming to apply to kids with unusually high energy levels.
In better news, Michelle and I tag-teamed one of the claw-grab machines and won Sebastian a blue basketball with the words “New York” written on it. And it only took us two tries. Sebo LOVES his new blue basketball.
Long time.

Yeah, it’s been a LONG time since I posted anything. And that’s stupid because SO MUCH has been going on. I’ve just been so busy with work, painting, baby-raising, husbanding, etc …
But since I posted last, the following items have been noteworthy:
• SEBO IS WALKING. He took his first 4 steps the evening of April 14th. He didn’t really walk much for the next week or so, but then he started taking even more steps and now he is walking better than I can.
• The Harding Art Show was cancelled at 10:15pm the night before we were scheduled to set up the show. It was very disheartening. But luckily it has been re-scheduled for the end of this month. Details coming soon.
• Mother’s Day. It was Michelle’s first. The three of us went to the zoo, shared a moment with a giraffe, and enjoyed having some lorikeets walking on our shoulders and trying to eat Michelle’s hair. It was a lot of fun!
• My brother’s house just barely escaped getting hit by the Good Friday tornadoes in Murfreesboro. Most of the houses on his street were destroyed.
• Michelle and I are coming up with ideas left and right for art/business ventures that we are really excited about.
• Sebo’s first birthday is less than a month away. WHAT?
• Michelle’s mom’s house has been on the market in Columbia since February. Having your house on the market takes a lot of work because you have to keep it ready to be shown at the drop of a hat. And she has a dog and a special needs child who lives at home. She works half and hour away in Cool Springs. Two weeks ago she broke her leg. NOT COOL.
• One of my older brothers in Seattle is getting married in just over a week.
• Happy about an unexpected Adam vs. Kris American Idol finale. I will be happy if either wins, although I will say that Adam has been LEAGUES ahead of everyone else the entire season, and he will be one of the most successful Idol artists ever. But I really do like Kris a lot. If he does in the finale what he did with that Kanye West song, he might have a serious shot.
That’s all I can think of for now. Gotta get back to work. I’m sure I’m missing a bunch.
