Months 20 and 21 for Taylor were added. They’re pretty short. I think this is when we had to send the camera back to Canon for repairs. I recommend not leaving your SLR camera within reach of a toddler.

Oh, you probably want a recent picture too. Here.



She learned to swim. I can’t really explain the blisters. We’ve had a lot of mosquitos lately.

I’m starting to think that maybe we never had a second child. Maybe we’re just having the first child again. Can you tell who’s who?



This will make things really easy. We know what to expect. That said, I’ve already added photo albums for Ryan for her first 19 months. You can find them on the right under Taylor Albums.

“Where are the pictures of Ryan?” That’s all I hear these days. Did you think a second kid would give me more time for updates? So here. Maybe this will tide you over.



Next time be more specific.

We proved to the world that we were quite adept at raising one child. So we decided to have another.



Meet Ryan Nicole. She was born at 11:48am on May 18, 2007 and weighed 7 lbs. 4oz. I’ll add a new album for her soon. As required by parental law, we will only have about 10% as many pictures of Ryan as we did of Taylor.

Things went a little better this year…

I added Month 19. It includes pictures taken while Kristen and I were in Las Vegas. We left Taylor with her grandmas so she wouldn’t be subjected to an inappropriate environment.



Next time, we’ll take her with us.

It’s a simple law. You wanna be my child? You do some labor.



Since I’m not caught up yet on the photo albums, this is your sneak peak at the today version of Taylor.

Sure, she’s 2.16 years in real life. But in web site time, she’s only 18 months.

Over the past several months, I have received exactly 0 emails, 0 phone calls, and 0 subtle hints that I should fix our shower. Therefore, I did NOT spend this entire weekend fixing the shower that we cannot use until I fix it. Instead, I spent my weekend making updates to this site. Sweet 16 and Month 17 are both new.

One of the things you never do with a 2-year old is leave them alone in a room; even for a second. An unadvised toddler can spill things, empty a drawer onto the floor, or shave your cats. I left Taylor alone in a room with my laptop for 30 seconds while I ran to get the phone. This was the state of the universe when I returned:

I honestly have no idea how she did it. The way I would do it involves going about 3 menus deep into the display settings. Also, my savings was apparently transferred to an anonymous account in Grand Cayman.

Anna requested that I update. So I did. I pretty much do whatever she says. I’m working on transferring the old picture pages into this format. Once finished, I’ll have the pages indexed over on the right.
