The Week in Photos

1. Here's who thinks he's in charge (new favorite t-shirt).
2. Here's who's really in charge -- Charlene!

3&4. Jen and Piruz visit. Later that weekend, Piruz scores an honorable mention in the Oscar Pool.

5&6. Silas is either curious about the camera or afraid of it -- at any rate, when he sees the camera, he stares right at it and will not smile (see photo #2). The best way to capture his smile is to take a picture from the side.


For those of you keeping score at home, here are the stats from Silas's four-month visit to Dr. Zullo. He weighs 14 lbs., 11 oz. (50th percentile); he is 26 inches long (75th to 90th percentile); and his head measures 42 cm. (50th percentile). He had a great check-up, and I learned something: I learned that, given the right kind of shot, Silas can issue eardrum-splitting screams of significant duration.
