iPhone Alton (by Andy)

Part of my job is to be on call so I was given an iPhone from work for this purpose. I have unofficially turned it into my regular cell phone and have taken advantage of the better-than-your-average-cell-phone camera that the phone comes equipped with the iPhone. This is great because it gives me the opportunity to capture some pretty priceless moments without having to worry about dragging the big camera around everywhere "just in case." This can prove to be challenging, though, as AJ usually becomes more interested in the phone than whatever it is he was doing before (which is in sharp contrast to the regular camera when Daddy pretty much disappears behind it). I have been keeping a steadily growing folder of pictures of our favorite little guy and figured it was time to share the best ones with everyone! These are in chronological order - FYI. Enjoy!

Asleep on Mommy and Daddy's bed.

Alton asleep in the car (picture via his mirror).

One of my favorites. Alton playing with his house.

AJ and Daddy at a Luau!

AJ and Mommy on a cold December day at a park.

Alton in the car on that some cold day.

AJ asleep in the car on Christmas Eve on our infamous drive down to Cali.

And now for 2009 - This is going to be a long post. But it's all pictures!

At In-N-Out with Mommy in Redding.

Looking snazzy for 1st birthday dinner!

"Helping" with the laundry. Another one of my favorites.

Enjoying an apple.

Looking out the window during one of his MANY flights.

Having fun at the pediatrician's office.

His first rocket ship ride. A little worried about Kermit and Gonzo behind him.

Alton reading about Alton.

Really enjoying a tour of the pool at Great Uncle Scott and Aunt Denise's house.

Being cool with shades on at the dog park.

Trying out a balance bike and Lance Armstrong helmet at the bike shop.

Alton. Loves. Reading.

He also loves his Pooh Bears.

Great Balls of Fire!!! (He's playing a little piano.)

Stalking our hotel parking lot with Minerva during our return trip from Cali in July.

Must... get.... to.... top.... Climbing all on his own!


That's all for now. Watch for more in the future!
