Off to the Hospital and Delivery

Wow! So after two false alarms we were nervously excited when Shannon's water broke. I mean when your water breaks its pretty hard to mistake it for anything else but after two previous trips to the emergency room only to be sent home, we were getting a little gun shy.

Shannon had been out of work and essentially in a state of static labor for 20 days. We were both being worn out by the physical demands and the anticipation; so of course an overnight delivery was exactly what we needed.

With Graham there were no signs of labor until Shannon's water broke and then Graham was born three hours later. With baby #2 things couldn't have been more different....at least Shannon got an epidural this time.

Start the clock! Shannon's water broke at 10:15pm on July 25, 2011


Nearly eight hours later, Eliana Maria Pardo was born...and was promptly put in "time out"



Healthy girl!

The exhausted but happy family!

Parkour Graham!

So with all of the Fun Gym, weights and playground training Graham is getting pretty brave and pretty impressive (if I say so myself)!

FUN GYM!!

There is a local gymnastics club that opens up its gym for free play once a week. Graham loves it and he is getting quite daring, jumping into the foam pit by himself. Here are some videos from a few trips when we first started. I will post others showing his progress.

Camping!!!

I cannot think of a time when Graham is happier than when he is camping...or maybe that is just Shannon and I imposing our own sense of fun on him. Take a look at the pics from a few different trips this Spring and decide for yourself.


"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!"

So it begins....

"There is no such thing as tough.
There is trained and untrained. Now which are you?"

check out Graham's training videos...

We are back!- First Haircut

So after three and a half months of being away we are finally back to blogging. Enough wasting time...let's catch up!

Graham's First Haircut- Mid-January I was no longer able to delay Shannon's demands for a haircut for Graham and the removal of his baby mullet. Not the stories of mythological heroes nor the pleading of the imminent return of the 80's or even the fact that Graham is half Canadian and that it was part of his national identity would change her mind. Sorry Graham, Daddy tried!

Everyone was pretty amazed at how good he was for the haircut....obviously he was not aware of the implications.

Funny enough we didn't even take an immediate "after" shot.
