in case you haven't noticed...

I'm running a couple of contests here at my blog:

1. Guess how many planets will have been added to the solar system before Jen writes again?

2. Guess how much longer it will be June 2007 at Jen's blog? (I have always wanted to make time stand still.)

Care to make any wagers?

I also don't have a photo for today, so I figured I'd get that piece of disappointing news out of the way from the get-go. Maybe I'll have something later today. I have videos too, I just have to upload them to Google, which takes, like, a lifetime to complete.

Remember this post? Yeah, well, I'm having trouble juggling all my genius balls again. I've been buidling a photography portfolio for the past month, and haven't been able to concentrate on much else but that, SD, and our boy-child. I've also teamed up with a friend-photographer to do event/wedding photography, so getting that launched has kept me hopping, too. It's all very exciting, but reminds me how much I struggle to mutli-task (a.k.a. juggle said genius balls). I'm not giving up my SAHM gig, so I'm still brainstorming ways to do it all -- if that's even possible.

Ummmm, so let's see, when I last left off, Eli was just learning to walk.

K.i.d.d.i.n.g.

It does seem that way.

He can now:

• run the 100 m dash across our living room and kitchen at least 5 times a day;
• wield a fork like a spear fisherman;
• say the word bubble in at least five different syllabic patterns (the kid is gifted);
• eat LOTS of banannas;
• conjure liquid from a straw;
• d.j. his own dance party with a clock radio (I feel this probably calls for more explanation, but it's most intriguing if left to personal interpretation, I think);
• catch flies, with his own personal samuri style of capture, taught to him by who else but his samuri-fly-swatting Sensei, SD;
• say no (which calls for no further explanation).

We just can't get enough of him.

Happy Monday to all. More catching up to come soon. Really. I mean it.
