Separated at Birth?

Based on the plaid and the blond hair, we think maybe Theo was supposed to be born 30 years ago, into the Clark family.

Vacation, part 3: Vacation in Pixelated Action!

This one is entitled Pop! Theo spent much of his vacation going in and out this doorway to the balcony, over and over and over. Since this was filmed, he's figured out when to say "pop" in Pop Goes the Weasel. And we may have killed that game by overdoing it, we thought it was so entertaining.




This is the super-striped, rapping, bouncing duo of John & Theo, riding the ferry back from San Juan Island. Just chilling out, eating Veggie Booty, checking out babes (babies) across the room.

Seriously, UW Study Finds Cutest, Smartest Baby Living in Seattle

This will come as no surprise to the Grandmas, but Theo was chosen for the UW press release going out Tuesday. Here are some photos they sent, 2-part one with the blindfold is what will be with the article. The blindfold is nicely placed to hide the drool that was running off his chin the whole time. Literally oozing with smarts, this kid.

Here is the link to the press release; I am sure you'll see it when your next issue of The Journal Science arrives.

Vacation, part 2: San Juan Island

Road Trip!!! Gotta check email first though.


Place #1 had a nice view, but was kind of dark and musty and smelly.


So we upgraded. Everybody's happy. Especially Penny.

Around the resort, Roche Harbor.

Theo enjoying the Great Outdoors on a drive around the island. You might have to click on this one to see the misery in his face.

more later...(at the rate of one vacation every 1.5 years, we have to spread this out)

Vacation, part 1: Miscellaneous Theo Pictures

One Year Stats

Theo had his one year check up today. He's plumped up a bit, and his head is officially large:
Length/height: 30.5 inches, 75th percentile
Weight: 24 lbs 5 oz: 75th percentile
Head circumference: 49.25 cm, 95th percentile
He had a bunch of shots and took them like the 24 lb man that he is.

OK, to be honest they didn't say it EXACTLY like that, but I am certain that was the implication when Theo got called to do a photoshoot for the study he took part in. They basically just reinacted a study and took lots of pictures. Unfortunately one of the studies involved a blindfold between Theo and the toys, so his face will be hidden in half the shots. If they get used, the shots will be in the researchers academic presentations and maybe press releases of their findings. here is the lab info: http://ilabs.washington.edu/staff/index.html Theo did not have to wear a swimcap like in some of these photos. No hair/makeup people, no wardrobe, no catering. Just 20 bucks and a new toy ball.
