We took Gavin to the fair to see some animals. He has lots of books with animals in them so we figured he would like to see the 3D versions. He seemed more interested in the fans that were cooling the animals…

The family and I traveled down to San Diego to celebrate little Jesse and Angelina’s birthdays. Gavin enjoyed his time with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and crazy cousins.

The baby had his first non-formula based meal this evening. Blended up green bean mush… yummy!

We decided to open our gifts from the Seattle Ladd/Quan clan before heading out tomorrow to San Diego. Gavin enjoyed opening his book and shirts. Aliciana got some rubber stamps and a photo holder which she will surely put to good use soon.

I was gifted with a new book “Building Scalable Web Sites” which I have had my eye on for a while. I am looking forward to starting it once I finish “Programming Collective Intelligence“. Yes Jessie, I am quite a geek. Also got a penguin ornament to add to the tree.

Some photos below of Gavin enjoying his first Christmas presents. I got some crappy green lens flares on the last few photos that otherwise look pretty cool. Nick, any idea how I can prevent this suckage in the future? Was it the UV filter I had on the lens? Or was it because I was shooting 800 ISO and the Christmas tree has tons of lights? I really need to get a book on photography… I can’t blame ruining perfect shots on my camera anymore.
