Is this thing on?

Can you hear me now?

Yes, it appears the blog is indeed still working, despite a total lack of updates in the last few months. It’s mostly due to exhaustion at the end of the day. And the fact that’s it’s MUCH harder to get non-blurry shots of Alexandra these days.

In lieu of trying to be witty and creative, I’m going to just try to post more pictures here and there. And continue to give you the medical updates (which just reinforce the fact that she’s awesome). From her 18-month check-up on Tuesday:

  • Height: 2′ 9.5″ = 93rd percentile (though I would have thought it was more than an inch of growth in three months, given that she’s now wearing 2T clothes)
  • Weight: 29 lb, 3.5 oz = 98th percentile
  • Head Circumference: 49.8 cm = 99th+ percentile (new system, so at least they don’t list “100th” percentile anymore)

In other family  news, Ian is back at LeapFrog doing another maternity leave fill and I’m doing some consulting. (And due to the NDA they made me sign, that’s pretty much all I can say about it.)

We hope all is well with you and that 2014 is off to a great start!

Finally got ahold of a family shot of our race car driver and her crew!
