When Elijah was born my Mom and Dad got him this fantastic barn toy.  Soft, stuffed, full of cool Velcro animals.  There's lot's of pieces to chew and play with and it has great bright colors.  Ijah does have a favorite animal though.  The cow.  No matter what other ones he pulls out he always [...]

Ijah goes artsy

By sherman | December 9th, 2008

He'd make a good model

By sherman | December 2nd, 2008
Ijah would make a good model for a few reasons.  When a camera is pointed at him he knows it and looks at it, and he gets this vacant sort of look on his face. I guess that cood be curiosity, but I don’t know.
