Pictures! [preggo]

[rootofnewt]

I just sat down and sorted through some camera pics from the last couple months. I'll make a link collection here, mostly for memory's sake.

Most are Ronan. I do have a silly one of the poodle dog. We occasionally buy mylar balloons for Ronan. Well, one followed Jericho into his crate. We were more amused than he was.

Ten months+:
Ronan in sunglasses. And his turtleneck is covered in cookie sludge. My clothing generally is, too.
Ronan stares at Olive. Olive's not in the frame. We were swinging at McGuffey Park and he apparently thought she was having too much fun. Not that he ever smiles in the swings. Oh, no. ;)

In mid-March, we hiked a short portion of the trails out at Ragged Mountain Reservoir.
I wore Ronan in the Ergo. We took a break at the summit of Round Top.

Eleven months+:
We don't really use the crib for sleeping, but Ronan likes exploring my pile of pillows from time to time.

In Early April, we went to DC for a day. We visited AU and said hello to our favorite moai. Well, Ronan wasn't too sure about it.

Yesterday, we went out to the campground to visit Mom & Dad. The campground owner is trying to gather together a petting zoo, so we went up to check it out. He had three goats (a nanny, an adolescent, and a kid) and a pig (pot belly cross). Ronan was super excited to see the goats, which he called out to as dogs. Once they realized we had no food, they were less than impressed. Ronan also found the fence worthy of study.

Awww!

If Ronan outgrow his size medium Fuzzi Bunz, let me know. I'll buy some!

I'm hoping that his thighs size down when he starts walking. We'll see, though. He might outgrow the rise before that happens. I'll keep you in mind!

Is it too late to RSVP for the party?

[krasota.livejournal.com]

It's not too late! Come!

No, Ronan's not expressive at all, is he? :-)

You have such a happy family :-)

I'm sorry, but an altitude of 919 feet does not a mountain make! :)

No kidding. The Ragged Mountains are very old. I'm not sure why they're callled mountains, other than having a very obvious line of ridges. I suppose "Ragged Hills" just doesn't cut it. The trail was quite steep, if that's any consolation . ;)

You would probably take issue with our 4500' summits being labeled "mountains", though, so I'll just make silly faces at you.

We have yet to find Benares or even a single man-eating tiger in the woods out there, though. (http://www.literature.org/authors/poe-edgar-allan/atale.html)

There doesn't seem to be a hard and fast geologic definition of mountain, but an old pseudo common law def says that it must rise at least 1000 ft above the surrounding plain.

For purposes of forecasting, the local weather prophets refer to anything below 9000 ft as "the foothills". That pisses me off too, but some days I believe everybody does everything just to piss me off.

One thing that struck me about Boulder--I didn't really see any foothills. It was flat (plateau?) then BOOM! big huge rocky mountain things.

[lightning-rose.livejournal.com]

Boulder is pretty flat. It's actually in a broad, shallow valley, but it's not really noticeable except from the tops of the ridges East and South of town.

Awwww!

He's sooo big!
