I have to apologize in advance for this, for it might make you out-and-out gag, but as a little experiment of sorts, I've decided to start a new series: Olliesounds (or, if you like, Sounds of My Son -- a bit more fitfully cheesy, I think). Since we all seem to spend so much time taking pictures of our kids, or videos, imagery basically, I thought I might try something a little different: audio clips.

We spend a lot of time using our eyes -- looking, watching, scanning, snapping -- but we don't spend all that much time really listening anymore, and the sounds babies make in particular can be pretty awesome, to say nothing of the sounds of the rest of our mundane lives. So I plan to record more of both of them, and to share a few as well, just to see where it leads.

So, as they say, without further ado, here we go -- installment one: a one-and-a-half minute clip of my kid taking a snooze. Enjoy.
