Teeth-brushing time! Linus here has TWO loose teeth now, so I’d better start saving up!

Teeth-brushing time! Linus here has TWO loose teeth now, so I’d better start saving up!

This picture looks creepier than it should. Miles was just playing around with the Christmas wreath that I just (ahem) took down.
Not a head on a platter or anything.
Maybe I should have stuck to the (strangely hilarious) video of one of our ill-fated rocket launches yesterday.

While I had an unforgettable trip to San Francisco to finally meet some of my new colleagues in person, it was great to see these silly goofballs again.
(For a better description of my week than I could ever give, check out my buddy Stephen’s blog post about it.)

Burrito Friday is a thing at Automattic, and this is purported to be one of the best burrito places in San Francisco. I don’t know about that, but my carne asada burrito was damn good.

I had such a great birthday today. Of course I missed my family, but well…it’s hard to beat a gorgeous day in San Francisco with kind and generous new coworkers who arrange a homemade birthday cake for you in your favorite flavors (that’s yellow cake with chocolate frosting.)
Just looking at this picture makes me happy.

We found this mural a few blocks from where we’re working, and we had to get a Happiness Engineer photo.

There’s a lot of hard work going on here.

I’m in San Francisco! And this will be my office for the week. Awesome.


Real smiles, thanks to Kiki!
Onward for at least another year of monthly photos!

After the boys had Zoo Camp, we wandered around for a while. The boys used to be so cautious going down the giant spiderweb at Monkey Hill, but now they run down without fear. I like it.

The boys had their 6 year well visit today.
Linus: 47.8 lbs (50th); 45.8″ tall (50th)
Oliver: 44.8 lbs (50th); 45.8″ tall (50th)
Miles: 50 lbs (50-75th); 46.3″ tall (50th)
Compared to their 5 year stats:
Linus: 42 lbs (50th); 43.9″ tall (50-75th)
Oliver: 40.5 lbs (50th); 44″ tall (50-75th)
Miles: 42.1 lbs (50-75th); 44.2″ tall (75th)
So, Miles has gained 8 lbs, and Oliver has gained 4. They’ve grown about 2″, which seems like not very much, especially since people say they look so much taller. I’m not surprised Miles is now outweighing his brothers (unlike at birth), because he eats more, and what he does eat is somewhat healthier.
But overall, they’re all doing fine, and were just advised to eat more fruits and veggies. Ha, if only it was that easy, right?
(P.S. That’s Miles in the picture.)
