The faces of Sir Liam (my new nephew) at one month:
Early indications of his deeply contemplative ways.
Hinting here at a future in the male modeling world.
Happy?
Bitterness for not actually having hair on the top of his head.

Headboard
In an attempt to build the heaviest headboard I could think of, I decided to build one from laminated scrap wood lying around my dad's shop. So I raided my dad's shelves and cut everything down to 2" strips. Then we built a little jig, stocked up on wood glue, and went to work assembling (as seen in video form below.) Let it dry for a while and next trip home I did some serious sanding. It's a bit of a beast and weighs a ton, but looks awesome.

Build Video: I've been kind of obsessed with time-lapse video's lately and the headboard assembly was the perfect opportunity to experiment. I set up my camera to take a picture every 3 seconds. The build ended up taking us about 4.5 hours leaving me with about 4300 stills. Everything came together quite nicely. (FYI: It was built upside down. The hole will be covered by the bed.)
Sanding Video: After trimming the edges and lots-o-sanding, it's starting to look finished. Just have to seal and finish it now.
