Cruisin'

By K.J. Cardinal

My obsession with my newest toy spread to New Hampshire this weekend as we went up to visit my family.

After seeing the footage from my ride with Anna, my Dad seemed to be into the idea of hooking the camera on his motorcycle, so that's exactly what we did. Such a cool perspective.

Anna's chariot

By K.J. Cardinal

Anna benefited from a little Pack Network R&D this morning as I brought her to daycare in her little chariot.

For work, we recently purchased this tiny little HD camera that you can pretty much mount anywhere. The dimensions on the camera are 1.6” x 2.4” x 1.2”, so it really is tiny. And, it shoots standard and wide-angle 1080p HD video. It's legit.

In just two days, this camera has already turned into my favorite toy and will be sure to provide some unique perspectives on anything and everything I can think of. Enjoy the show!

Off the charts

By K.J. Cardinal

Well, well, well. Leo had his 10 week check-up today and the "little" guy is OFF THE CHARTS.

The doctor said that his percentiles for height and weight are so high that they are literally off the chart... meaning he's above the 99th percentile in both categories.

Leo is already up to 25 inches long and... wait for it... 17 pounds, 2 ounces. Good lord.

As a point of reference, at 18 weeks Anna weighed 15 pounds, 1.5 ounces (80th percentile). And, at nine months, she weight 20 pounds, 3 ounces (75th percentile). This kids' gonna be a beast.

I'm expecting a phone call from ABC any day now to start shooting the pilot for a new reality series called "Leo vs."

Leo giggles

By K.J. Cardinal

For some reason Leo loves the feel of my goatee so much that it makes him giggle.

Anna has a hat, whaddaya think of that.

By K.J. Cardinal

Those of you who have seen Anna in the past few months may have experienced her "Hat Song" that she learned at daycare. Well, Tuesday was "Hat Day" at daycare, so to get her fired up for the occasion, we all wore hats in the morning. Anna was pretty cute in her cowgirl hat, but the little guy really stole the show...

Take her out to the ballgame

By K.J. Cardinal

Nearly the entire time while we were on our road trip odyssey, Anna provided the entertainment. Singing was more often than not her method of amusement and Take Me Out To The Ballgame was probably sung a few hundred times... and it never got old. Take a listen and I think you'll agree.
