Actually, i'd proposed on Halloween of 2000. This was a month or so afterwards (prior to 2001, but I always make that mistake, as we used the above photo for an engagement party invitaion in 2001.)

I proposed in my living room.

Aww, your family are too cute Alex!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 2 April 2004 14:45 (twenty years ago) link

I can't deal with how adorable this little one is. The picture of Charlotte and her mom on the couch is so sweet -- her lil foot is sticking out!! Eeeee!! Little baby foot!!! Ahem, um, right, I mean, she's swell, duders.

Aww, baby yawns!

Alex, you should redraw one of these pics using MS Paint.

― Vitamin Leee (Leee), Friday, 2 April 2004 22:44 (twenty years ago) link

I like how the first is frowny pondering and the second is gentle happiness. Except Charlotte does look a touch frowny still!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 2 April 2004 23:54 (twenty years ago) link

she's so tiny!

― oops (Oops), Friday, 2 April 2004 23:55 (twenty years ago) link

These pics are too adorable. Thank you for showing them to us and thereby giving us more of an insight into your family. You guys are going to be the best parents ever (or second best if I factor in my own parental biases).

Jeez....my George Michael stubble is in full effect in that first one.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 3 April 2004 00:32 (twenty years ago) link

Now I envision Alex proposing by saying that he thought it would be nice if he could touch her body.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 3 April 2004 01:27 (twenty years ago) link

i like the matching fuzzy hairdos.

― bnw (bnw), Saturday, 3 April 2004 01:45 (twenty years ago) link

so do I! I like all the pics, it's nice to see this side of you Alex. and Charlotte is beautiful, obv.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Saturday, 3 April 2004 03:18 (twenty years ago) link

yeah ditto. congrats again alex, this is all super fun to read.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 3 April 2004 03:30 (twenty years ago) link

The pictures are all very adorable.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Saturday, 3 April 2004 13:10 (twenty years ago) link

Charlotte is so cute! Hope you're all doing well. Not too tired?

Seems like you have a beautiful family. : )

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 3 April 2004 13:47 (twenty years ago) link

Pic of the day...notice the gradually developing tonsorial resemblance to Beyond the Valley of 1984-era Wendy Orlean Williams.

She has a turned-up pixy nose!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 4 April 2004 01:44 (twenty years ago) link

Cute little angel!!

Alex, your killing us with all the pictures!

It's too much cuteness and beauty to handel!!

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 4 April 2004 13:16 (twenty years ago) link

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 9 April 2004 19:02 (twenty years ago) link

That is truly an astounding geek/camp pose you have there in the first one, Alex. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 April 2004 19:02 (twenty years ago) link

Guilty as charged.

Y'know what they say....if the shoe fits, kick someone with it!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 9 April 2004 19:03 (twenty years ago) link

Grr Alex, I suspect you are much taller than I originally thought you were, which means I must now secretly hate you. (Fortunately your immensely-cute baby mitigates my churning Napoleanic bile.)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 9 April 2004 19:08 (twenty years ago) link

Usually 6'1"...depending on the entirely unpredictable hair.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 9 April 2004 19:12 (twenty years ago) link

TALL MAN I SMITE YOU aw cute baby nevermind

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 9 April 2004 19:14 (twenty years ago) link

Sorry, I honestly cannot resist posting these...

3 Weeks & a day old.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 22:52 (twenty years ago) link

She's perfectly gorgeous.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 22:56 (twenty years ago) link

And bless her, she's about the only person who regularly if indirectly appears on ILX who doesn't care about Gear's roommate's coital faux pas today.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago) link

Oh Ned, how could you?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 22:58 (twenty years ago) link

It's true though! (And yes, she is once again an utter sweetie.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 23:00 (twenty years ago) link

It is true, yes, but you aren't supposed to mention *that* on sweet baby threads. Ew.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 23:01 (twenty years ago) link

Alex already has a Good Charlotte photo polluting his thread, he'll survive.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 23:04 (twenty years ago) link

I can handle it. And am thusly intrigued.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 23:13 (twenty years ago) link

You haven't read it yet?

Um...well, start at the very beginning. And take the time to read it all. And that's all I'll say.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 23:15 (twenty years ago) link

what to do when your roommate doesn't realize you're home and thusly is having loud sex in the living room being the thread in question.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 05:01 (twenty years ago) link

Due to an iPhoto malfunction (well, it was my fault, actually), I managed to dismantle some of the pages I'd set up, jettisoning several pics in the process. In the interests of maintaining the annoying, beaming father mode, I'm replacing them all here now, in chronological order, no less....

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 14:26 (twenty years ago) link

Why is there more light in room in the first picture of the whole family and it's dark in the second one?

But anyway....

AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! So cute!!!!!!

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 14:29 (twenty years ago) link

eeeheeheehee!

The erratic nature of digital cameras that decide on their own whether or not a flash would be suitable.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 14:43 (twenty years ago) link

I see. I got a digital camera for my birthday. I still haven't opened it.

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 14:45 (twenty years ago) link

You should. I picked mine up (a Canon PowerShot Sd10) just after the baby was born,....and it's fantastic...and easy for Luddite spods like myself.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 14:49 (twenty years ago) link

I know I should, and I want to, but I don't have anything to take pictures of yet!! You're so lucky!!

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 14:51 (twenty years ago) link

...unless I take pictures of the construction behind our building....

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 14:52 (twenty years ago) link

She is very like you Alex, if one can tell at all at this stage.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 14:54 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, she is FAR TOO ADORABLE in the pic wrapped up in the yellow towel. Again, congrats Alex.
