Plake will be 15 weeks old on Monday, and he is growing quite big. We took the time to take some pictures this morning, and here are the results of our efforts. These photos don't reflect the true frequency of his smiles, he generally has a big dopey grin. However, his smiles are usually accompanied by full body failing, which creates some very blurry portraits for people who refuse to use the flash. I would also like to apologize for how he looks like a Gap ad. He can't help it that his parents dress him like that.

Plake has discovered rolling onto his side. This keeps the pinned hand in his mouth with less effort, and allows his shirt to stay dry when he spits up.

He is watching his dad do "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and contemplating spitting up.

He is watching his dad do "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes" and thinking about spitting up.

Poor devil thinks he's in Depeche Mode.
