Press the Button!

During Noah's last visit to the tour, Pyro Steve gave him a little Smoke 101.

The Sleepiest Baby on the Block

Noah is currently operating in safe mode. He will reboot in 60 seconds.

Bye Juice

It sure has been quiet here at It's All True recently. That's because I've been having a great time being a Dad!



You may have heard that we have a tour coming up this fall, and of course I'll continue to bring you my own brand of mildly snarky backstage commentary.

Watch this space.

Out & About with Noah

What we've been up to this week:

Watching Fountains

Climbing Fences (PopPop is holding him up)

Joining Gardening Parties

Watching a Concert

Bear McCreary and the Battlestar Galactica Orchestra!

Working on our Golf Swings

Wearing Daddy's Hats and Playing with Toys

Also, checking out the art fair, frolicking in the dog park, going to the market, and jumping around at the Under the Sea playground! A fun week.

Mike & Co. on Bellaziza's Favorite Things!

I'm so happy to announce that I am now writing for Bellaziza's Favorite Things, a blog all about life with a baby. Full of product recommendations, parenting advice and general wisdom with a very personal spin, it's a great place for me to talk candidly about my experience as a single dad.

Here's my introduction. Keep your eyes (and your bookmarks) on the site for more!

Very excited to be a part of such an awesome team.

Noah's General Order of Things

Go somewhere with and laugh hysterically:


Look at cool things till I get tired:


Pass out on Daddy:


Stay passed out in car:

(additional option): wake up magically in bed at home.

Animals & Instruments

Last week, we played the little piano:


the big banjo:


visited the puppies at the pound:


and fed some bunnies:

Cider Farm II: The Chickening

During my last visit to Washington, Noah and I returned to the cider farm. Only, this time, he knew the names of all the animals, instead of calling them all "puppy."



"More bunnies! Hi bunnies!"

Fun with Camera

Sometimes it's more fun to have a conversation through the lens of a camera.

Elevator Game

Noah really loved working the elevator at the hotel. He would say, "uh-gate-uh," and we would run down the hall, push the button, get in and go somewhere.

Except this time was different.

Pillow Hide & Seek

Boogie Morning

Dances with Goldfish

Noah's new thing on this visit was his obsession with the camera. He loved watching himself on the monitor, and I rarely got much footage before he started pointing at the camera and saying "Noah! Noah! I want to watch it!"

Here he is dancing and trying to grab the camera:

Noah's 1st Guitar Lesson

I finally had some time to edit the Noah videos from my last trip to Washington. Here is Noah's first guitar lesson:

Noah Visit

Adorable videos coming soon (as soon as I have time to edit them), but here are a few pictures from my last Noah visit in Washington:

The Pistachio Game

Okay, one more Noah video from Christmas.

He really enjoyed bringing pistachios to his uncle Doug.

"Biiiiiiiiite?!"
