It's been a while since I've posted
But Natalie is still cute. I think she grew in the 5 days I was away in Chicago.

Things are going to get complicated very soon
She knows how to stand now. Fortunately, she can't go from sitting to standing quite yet.

What a Difference a Few Months Make
Laura and I try to take a few photos of Natalie every few months. Accidentally, I got the same photo of her a few months apart! She sure has changed.
This is her now...
And this is her a few months earlier.

New Orleans, LA
Well, I survived the trip to New Orleans... That is a crazy city. The conference was educational, and one of my presentations won an award. Overall, it was a good trip where I got to see some friends from out of town, and learn a lot about one of my favorite parts of radiology.

She survived the baptism.
Everyone followed the first rule - Don't drop the baby. Now we just have to wait and see if she gets sick from all the different people holding her all weekend.

Taken just a few minutes later.
Thought I'd post this one too since some people only look on this page, and not my flickr page (link to the right, or just click on the photo!)
Quick update....
We think she weighs 10.5 pounds by now.... She's looking a little scared here, huh? She's smiling now, but it's REALLY hard to catch it on camera!

Sleepy Baby
They say babies are supposed to sleep 21 hours a day. Since we figured out how to feed her properly, she's taken to that schedule.

Her name was dot for a while...
Since she was just a dot on the first ultrasound, we called her dot while she was gestating. We had the name Natalie picked out for a long time, but we kept it a secret until she was born!

Lessons Learned from the North American International Auto Show
My friend Marc and I met his friend Ken at the North American International Auto Show, aka the Detroit Auto Show. This is the actual trade show where concept cars are revealed every year in Detroit.
None of us were really looking for a new car, so we went with the idea of taking some photographs. Now, I've been there before in 2006, and I don't think I did any better this time around taking photographs to be honest.
I used to shoot the 300d, which was pretty bad with noise. I now have the 20d, which does much better. Nonetheless, I convinced myself to keep the ISO low, which forced me to use wide apertures and slow shutter speeds. BIG MISTAKE.
Most photos are NOT sharp, I think because of a combination of the wide aperture (small depth of field) and my slow shutter speeds (shaky hands).
What I really should have done is bump the ISO to 800 and used some smaller apertures for better DOF. Nonetheless, Ferrari had some pretty nice cars, even though they kept the coolest one behind glass.
Of course, since I drive the mazda3, I had to check out the new Mazda concept car.
