i have to give a shout out to technology these days.

we come from a time when our pictures were only in color if we were lucky,
and only locatable if our moms were professional organizers.

i have spent hours looking through pictures on my computer or on the blog and i am so grateful that i live in a time that allows for over-documenting.

our kids will have a bagillion times more video and pictures than we ever did.
and we can print them and view them whenever.
i love that i can bust my phone to catch all the fun moments…


{thanks hilary for B’s freakin cute hat. i can’t stop putting it on him!!}

{B has been a snot factory for a while so he hasn’t been the happiest camper. i set him down to go start cleaning up and he just about giggled at me. needless to say, i didn’t get lots of cleaning taken care of.}

nowadays nearly everyone can own a dslr camera and takes quality fotos with them. 
it means moms everywhere are turning to photography and techno jobs- cause they can!

yes, for me, it means that baby fotos will surmount to millions of eerily similar pictures that you just can’t delete cause they are just “too cute” and i am sure we will be purchasing a new hard drive soon to house them.

last night for family home evening, cc and i played scrabble on his ipad{2}
and watched shows we had recorded on our magical tivo.

my child went to sleep in his {rapidly shrinking} bassinet that vibrates and plays music…
right after i tracked his feeding on my favorite app on the iphone {babytimer}.
{i have tracked every single feeding from the very first one. 
i am addicted. 
no i don’t track the sleeping and diapers anymore…. 
but i don’t know if i could shake the feedings…}
what would we do without all of the little gadgets and things?

    I am not a perv. Just a data guy. And I have nieces and nephews, so yeah.<br /><br />Are those numbers from B? Does he really have a favorite side? It seems like turns on the right take a bit longer than the left.

    Oh my gosh – wish I had that feeding app a year ago! App = replacement for my missing brain!!

    That app would have been incredibly helpful for us too. We made little books to keep track of who was eating when, how much, when they slept, what their bowels were doing, etc. We also wrote down cute little things about what they were doing each day, but we quit after about 4 months because it just got to be too much. VERY nice to have now though!
