Welcome to Zach's Blog

After seemingly endless prodding, teasing and thinly veiled condescension from friends and family, my wife and I have finally succumbed to peer pressure and have entered the 21st century. That's right, we are now officially "blogging". Besides, what better way to introduce ourselves to this mysterious and novel medium than through the shameless exploitation of our wonderful little boy, Zachary Winston Williams. Since before he was even born Zach has been a constant source of "oohs" and "aahs" which I have piously and painstakingly documented with my camera. Indeed, you- the common citizen of the Internet, will no longer have to miss out on precious moments such as "Baby's first dirty diaper" or "Baby blows milk out his nose all over mom".

During the first months of his life, Zach has had his photograph taken ad nauseum. I have countless photos of myself, Lesley, friends, family and a few complete strangers holding our son in every possible setting imaginable. There are so many photos in fact, that it would be impractical and maybe even a bit cruel to post them all here. So in order to conserve both available memory and the readers sanity, the plan is to pick a 'small' handful of the best pictures and include a link to my flickr website for those with the fortitude to tackle the rest.

On my son's behalf, I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation and gratitude for your interest in his life. I hope all of you will enjoy watching him grow and develop over the next months and years. I know I will.

Caution

For liability purposes, just about every child's toy or clothing article comes with some sort of warning. Usual suspects aside (a bottle of tylenol, Draino, and fireworks), most warnings are somewhat frivolous and therefore we do not bother to take them seriously.

For example, are we really concerned that a 10 month old is going to remove his dirty diaper, bury his face in the urine (or worse)-soaked cotton and suffocate? No, but perhaps Huggies is just covering their own asses in the event of a diaper-assisted suicide.

Today, however, the line was crossed. Kacy found a new Warning that was so dumb, it deserved a post. This warning was printed on a 1.5" by 3" plastic sticker that was attached to a shopping cart play set.

Here is what it said - verbatim:

CAUTION

Remove this sticker before use.
Leaving sticker attached to fabric
creates choking hazard.

Ummm.......?
