(Edit 05:00 UTC, corrected timestamp and adding attribution, this was from my mom’s camera, not mine, so the timestamp delta from UTC was different, which also means I posted this picture out of order, before others I would have posted otherwise. I can not say how much it annoys me that the EXIF data doesn’t include the timezone. I look forward to the days of ubiquitous GPS within cameras, including not just geotagging, but properly synchronized timestamps either in UTC or with included UTC offset.)
In just a little while… not that many minutes away now… specifically July 14th at 01:29 UTC… which is July 13th at 6:29 PM Pacific or July 13th at 9:29 PM Eastern… Alex will be a whole 10 months old. Two digits on the months now. And coming up on one year pretty darn fast!
There will, of course, be a video of highlights from the last month. But probably no earlier than this weekend and perhaps later. We’ll see how things go. But I will do better than I did on the Month Nine Video. Promise. I hope. :-)
This is way way late. I should have posted this a month ago. It covers Alex’s ninth month, which goes from May 14th to June 13th. I’ll be posting about Alex turning 10 months old in not very long at all. But hey, what can I say, I had a lot of other things going on and just didn’t get to it.
Also, knowing that really I am doing these videos for ME, and not for anybody else, I didn’t even attempt this time to get it to be particularly short. I realize for folks out there who might care, posting 20 second or 30 second clips when there was something fun to show would get more people to watch, but whatever. Nobody except maybe his Grandmothers (maybe) will watch more than 2 or 3 minutes worth of this stuff (max!). I know this!
But I like doing them monthly rather than as one offs, and at that point there is a bunch of stuff, and picking the best two minutes or whatnot would just leave me missing stuff I cut out. So whatever. Almost 10 minutes this month. For the one or two of you who might watch past the first few seconds, enjoy! :-)
And maybe I’ll get month ten done before his first birthday. We shall see!
Lucy Lumphead has been circulating in my family for many decades. She started off as something between my Grandmother and her sister Norma Louise. Lucy arrived here last Christmas and will stay until we pass her along to another member of the extended family, most likely a family member with young children. As tradition has it, she will get a new outfit first.
