My First Car Show (s)

2009-03-09T12:44:00.006-04:00

My God-Daddy Ant had a great idea that I should go to a car show. So we went...and he bought me a hot dog, but that is besides the point. Here are some shot from Car Show Numero Uno. (Didn't know that I was a bilingual baby did you?)

Posing in the firetruck with dad

Posing with my favorite dudes Dad and Ant

Now here are some shots from my second car show a week later....gotta love the variety of my life

So where do we sign? C'mon mom and dad its only 50,000 dollars

Please watch as the paparrazi continue to chronicle my life while I explore the car show

*my mom wishes to add a disclaimer that she needs to lose like 500 lbs and wear a girdle* Anyway, she needs to realize no one is looking at her and this is all about me.

More later. Have fun catching up with my life!

I got muscles

2009-03-09T12:37:00.002-04:00

I can crank about 400 pushups a minute. This is very pleasing to my dad because he wants me to be the youngest contest ever on World's Strongest Man....at 18 months. I am accepting all endorsements from Met-Rx, Enfamil and others. Please contact my agent :)

Christmas in March?!?

2009-03-09T12:22:00.006-04:00

Judging by the title it should let you know how long it has been since I have updated my blog. Here are some shots from Christmas

The hat was not my idea. This is why I am not looking at the camera

I was trying to be a sneaking santa. Actually, I was running upstairs to change my clothes becasue I cannot believe I had to dress like this all day. LOL

I mean can a man eat his croissant in peace?!? i got gifts to open and I need all the energy that I can get

Once I steal some pics from my Aunt Britt, you can see some photos of actual gifts! LOL

Happy Birthday (Part 2)....at daycare and at home

2008-08-22T11:23:00.011-04:00

Well, I am still celebrating my very 1st birthday. My big party will on Saturday at my memaw's house in Baltimore. All of my extended family will be there and I am excited to see everyone. Here are more pics from daycare. There are only three of us during the day so it was a very small party.

I love paper napkins. They taste good too ;)

Me and my daycare girlfriend. She apparently doesn't like the way I am eating my cupcake

Watch everyone (well mostly my mom) sing happy birthday:

And if you could not tell, I am dressed as Batman for my birthday. Why? It is because I am cool.

Then I got home and opened my cards from my mom and dad. Can you guess who gave me which card? *humming Jeopardy theme* It is not even that hard. Go figure.

The inside of the batman card reads "Happy birthday, you are friggin awesome". No other 1 year old gets that kind of greeting. Thanks Dad...your friggin awesome too.

One party down..one to go. I will upload pics from my party at my grandmas later this week.
I love being 1.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!!!

2008-08-20T14:39:00.003-04:00

I am a whole year old today. Time really does fly. My mom has been pretty slow about updating my blog but I have learned how to do new things since I last posted.

I have six teeth now, so I can chew pretty well...well as good as anyone who has six teeth. Watch the video to witness my chewing prowess.

I have also graduted from crawling fast to walking rather slowly....but at least I can walk..sort of.

My mom and dad are pretty proud of me. I am feeling pretty good about it myself.

Today I am having cupcake with my parents, and day-care classmates. Woo-hoo. I will post pictures later. This weekend I am going to Maryland to have my big birthday party with all of my family. I am really excited, so there will be many blog posts in the nest few days.

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Father's Day (Belated)

2008-06-18T12:39:00.006-04:00

I would like to wish a Happy Father's Day to my granddad, and godfather! Thank you all for being so special and so important to me.

Most of all Happy Father Day to my Dad! He is the best and I love him alot! We play cool games together and he is a whole lot of fun.

Here we are playing superheroes. I am Batman. He is Darth Vader. He let me try on that mask too......

...I think I like being the good guy better

He also lets me eat his nose, which is quite tasty and my mom thinks this is strange, but she is just jealous because she does not understand just how cool nose nibbling can be. I told you my dad is great.

yum.

Happy Father's Day!

I would also like to send a birthday shoutout to my grandma!

Belated Congratulations

2008-06-17T11:02:00.008-04:00

Whew, it has really been awhile since I last posted. I have been christened, can crawl really fast, and I can now pull up on things. My mom did not mean for so much time to go by but both her and I have been busy!

Here are some pics from the Christening:

Mom meant to take the pic before she cut the cake, but you get the gist. That cake was good if you ask me.

My shoes. I'm a bad bad man. Slick white leather shoes *popping my collar*

yea, I am a *a tiny bit* peeved about this hat....

I got a new bible and a Dedication certificate that my mom is reading

I will post others soon after mommy crops out those who do not want to appear on the blog. All in all it was fun times. Thank you to everyone who came out to support me!

Catch me if you Can!

2008-05-22T11:27:00.005-04:00

I apologize to all for the blog slack. There has been so much happening this month!

First, I can pull myself up on things (video proof forthcoming), and I can crawl!

Then went to Baltimore.....fun. fun fun. (pics to come)

Next I got christened! Woo-hoo for God!

So be on the lookout for many new posts catching all of my loyal readers up on my life thus far!

If you can't keep up, eat my dust!

Happy Birthday Aunt Britt

2008-05-02T11:14:00.002-04:00

My Aunt Brittany turns 23 today.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday Aunt Brittany

Happy Birthday to you!

I love you!

I See Dead People

2008-05-01T16:48:00.002-04:00

"I see dead people......"

My mom and dad thought that my attempt at a self portrait looked remarkably like the kid from the Sixth Sense. Actually this picure came as a result of my grabbing the camera off the bed, and as I was trying to put it in my mouth snapped this photo. Good, huh? I am a photography genius! See my use of light and special effects ;)

New Kicks

2008-04-30T17:12:00.004-04:00

I am about to start walking soon, I can feel it! On the advent of this new accomplishment my dad went out and bought me a new pair of tennis shoes.

The camouflage says that I am rugged yet stylish. *pop* goes my collar.

Guess What I've Got

2008-04-30T17:02:00.004-04:00

For those of you who have not seen me in awhile. I have got two new friends that I have to show you.

YAY! I am getting teeth!

So now when I gnaw on your fingers it may hurt a bit. Bring on the cookies!

I'm Sittin on Top of the World....and a new food update

2008-04-24T15:46:00.006-04:00

My mom finally put together my high chair and it is great! I am getting to be a big boy now, so it was time for me to have my own chair at the dinner table. I'm getting used to this big boy stuff

Hmmm. This is defintely different

oooh I really like this. I'm like a king on my throne

My first meal in my new chair was this:

I am not too sure about this room temp pureed meat business. But Dad insists that I get this stuff called protein so that I can have big muscles. Whatever. I can take or leave creamy chicken noodles.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen; Beans don't burn on the grill

2008-04-16T11:13:00.011-04:00

My mom needs a lesson on how to brush boy hair STAT. You brush a man's hair front, back, side, side. If I could talk I would tell her this. Apparently, my grumbling and attempts to grab the brush when she slicks it down and tries to give me what she calls a "swoopie"(think comb-over), do not work. Does that even sound right to you?!? Mom, are you listening? What self-respecting man would call anything on their hair a "swoopie"? See end result here:

You have got to be kidding.

Dad laughed hysterically and said I looked like a mix of Sherman Hemsley from the Jeffersons or the Jazz singer Cab Calloway.

He has a VERY PRONOUNCED "swoopie"

What do you all think? Needless to say, I will learn how to brush my own hair at eight months.

My B.I.C.

2008-04-14T13:16:00.004-04:00

I am probably one of the few babies that blogs. My mom helps out some, but without my material she would have nothing to blog about. Ms. Cristin gave her the idea to blog months ago, but of course my mom did not have a worthy subject until I came along. Just a few weeks ago, Ms. Cristin told me that my blog made her day and even presented me with a neat badge that I proudly display just to the right of my blog entries. She has blogged about me!--(read here and here); she has take numerous pics of me. Ms. Cristin is great and I let her know by always trying to pull off her glasses and whatever pretty, shiny jewelry that she may be wearing. That is how I show you that I care! So here is my shout-out to you, Ms. Cristin, my Blogger In Crime. :0)

This is my smooth, suave, and debonair look-still a work in progress

I'm a dapper don and some other updates

2008-04-08T14:11:00.004-04:00

It has been awhile since my last post. It has been a busy springtime in NC. I tried some new foods:

Turkey Tettrazini

Apples and Cheeries

Cinnamon Raisin Yogurt

All of these foods have been particularly yummy.

On top of all that, my Grandma B and Aunt Britt came to visit me last week and I got some new threads

I wore them to church. My mom will upload the picture as soon as she can. I am doing well and wanted to let everyone know to expect entries about my TWO NEW FRONT TEETH!!!!! Woo-hoo for chewing. Talk to you all later !

New Food Alert-Rice Cereal & Apple with Egg

2008-04-01T16:11:00.005-04:00

Yum. I am getting entire meals. I had my first Good Morning Breakfast meal from Beech Nut.

It was very delicious. So much so my greedy parents thought that they would take a bite as well. Hmmph. See my reaction to my new tasty treat:

*note-do not pay any attention to my mom's sauna pants in the background* LOL.

Meet a Friend-Tash

2008-04-01T15:38:00.005-04:00

Hi all,

I am going to start sharing with you the new friends I meet along they way. My first friend entry is Tash. She is the daughter of one of my mom's co-workers. She is a little over 1yr old and can do all this cool stuff like crawl and walk. I am so jealous.

Gimme my Starbucks!

2008-03-26T17:07:00.003-04:00

I need my coffee. I cannot get through the day without it! Can you believe my dad let my cup get empty?!? You just cannot get good help these days. Sheesh.

Clearly I needed a bigger bottle

2008-03-26T17:03:00.004-04:00

I am a growing boy and my regular 8oz bottles simply are not doing the trick. I figured that this would make a great replacement:

Yes it is a blender and it is all mine. It is very cool that I can fit my entire face in side of it.

Happy Easter!!!!!

2008-03-23T22:26:00.007-04:00

Happy Resurrection Sunday! It was a beautiful day today. I got my first Easter basket from Mom and Dad.

Toys and Food. This is great!

Here is my first Easter outfit. It is kind of like Harvard meets Osh Kosh.

"Every since I can remember. I been poppin my collar...."

I hope that everyone had a blessed day today. I sure did!

Sidenote: My teeth are finally starting to poke through. I bit my mom and she could feel the teeth. Woohoo

Musings

2008-03-21T18:39:00.002-04:00

I wanted to express myself verbally. Many of you get to read what I am thinking, but never get to hear it. So here it goes. Stay tuned after the video for a transcript of this speech :)

Translation:

Thank you all for reading my blog. I appreciate the love and support that I receive from all of my family and friends as I go through different stages of development. Please stay tuned as I continue to learn something new everyday and my mom finds some way to keep shoving her camera in my face. I am getting pretty active, so it is harder to post daily, but please be patient and check back as often as you can.

Taking it to the head

2008-03-21T18:09:00.004-04:00

How many babies do you know can gulp an 8oz. bottle in 20seconds.........

You've just met him. I can tilt my head with the best of them. Maybe this skill will come in handy someday.

New Food Alert-Stage 2 Foods

2008-03-21T17:56:00.007-04:00

Happy Good Friday! It has been another busy week for me. I have graduated to another food stage! Yay, for stage 2 foods. According to Beech Nut stage 2 foods are for those babies who are 6mos+ and can sit up unsupported for a certain period of time. Here is my first taste of stage 2 food.

yummmm..pears and raspberries

I liked this much better than that whole meat fiasco of a few weeks ago. Notice me feeding myself like a grown-up. This is a good indication that I like this. Mom and Dad need to keep this good food thing coming.

Happy Monday!-Self-Portraits

2008-03-17T11:23:00.005-04:00

Happy Monday Everyone!

It is Saint Patrick's day today and no my mom did not dress me in green. She is totally not festive. It has been a long time since I posted. It has been a looong week. My teeth are really coming in, so I have been really tired and not really in the mood for posing for cute pictures. I like to sleep, gnaw on cold things, or have my gums bathed in Orajel. For everyone's viewing pleasure thoughI got hold of my mom's camera (I have got quick hands) and snapped my own photos.

Enjoy!

This lens looks yummy. As long as it doesn't taste like beef. ugh

is this thing on?

I think I can, I think I can

2008-03-11T15:59:00.003-04:00

I will crawl. I am determined to crawl. I just cannot seem to get my legs to move forward. I can lunge forward with the best of them, but my parents do not seem to like it when I suddenly lunge for things. I will not give up though! My 2 in 1 gym though is givng me good tummy practice so that I can be strong enough to crawl.

I wonder how my legs can move so fast and I do not go anywhere!

New Food Alert-Beef and Broth

2008-03-11T15:36:00.006-04:00

Beech Nut is one of the only baby food brands that offer meats in their stage 1 foods. I have only had veggies and fruit up until this point. My dad really wants me to try meat so that I can get big and strong. I'm not convinced that this meat thing is all it is cracked up to be.

Hopefully meat will get better.....hopefully :(

I love my 2 in 1 gym!

2008-03-10T12:27:00.006-04:00

This weekend went by too fast. Went to Church yesterday and had a good time. I clapped along with the music. I did not even pull anyone's hair this time. My teeth a eager to poke through, so I am increasingly irritable and not too happy when mom wants to take a picture.

I have been doing tummy time with my Playskool 2-in-1 Gym. I have such a great time with this thing. I can play with it either on my belly or on my back. It makes noise and everything. This toy comes highly recommended...well by me at least. It has so many gadgets that supposedly help me with strenghtening my stomach muscles. But lately I have preferred playing on my back because I can look up and see myself in the little mirror.

Who do I look like?

2008-03-10T12:21:00.003-04:00

MyHeritage: Family trees - Genealogy - Celebrities - Collage - Morph

Ms. Cristin told my mom about a site where you can upload photos of baby and parents and based on face recognition technology calculate which parent the child looks the most like. This finally settles the debate on who I look most like. What does everyone else think?

My First Probate Show

2008-03-07T04:41:00.009-05:00

I went with my dad to see the newest initiates of the Tau Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. at NCCU. This is my dad's frat so he was very excited and could not wait to take me. I even had my own special outfit.

hmmmm. maybe spring 2027?!?

Yay Malcolm (Jekyll & Hyde)! He is like family.

More extended family pics

Thanks for taking good care of me! Congrats to Malcolm, Al, and Emmanuel!

It was a good time and I took many pictures. My mom will probably post those in her Facebook album. Some people even asked my mom to take my picture because they liked my outfit. Needless to say, I passed out shortly after this photo was taken. It was good times.

Heartbreakers

2008-03-06T09:26:00.005-05:00

Dad and I posing. Why, 'cuz its what we do. Ladies and babies watch out. My dad is allergic to t-shirts because he has muscles (insert sarcastic eye-roll from mom and sarcastic groan noise). He says that when I grow up and get big muscles I will not want to wear shirts either.

But if my mom has anything to do with it, she will keep me bundled up for as long as she can :)

I'm a Growing Boy

2008-03-05T17:50:00.007-05:00

My doctor's appointment went well. Or as well as it could considering I got THREE SHOTS! :(

Here are my stats:

Weight: 17lbs 8.5oz. (average for a boy of my height)

Height (or would it be length since I don't really stand, but oh well): 27.5 inches long-I'm pretty tall for my age.

Head Circumference: 17.5 inches (My head is big-that means I am smart).

Then...dun...dun...dun....

I had to get three shots: ugh

Chilling on the examination table waiting for my temp reading

OUCH!! I got a cool Sesame Street Band-Aid out of this though

Dad helping me get dressed.

Still in shock

My mom cried like a big 'ol baby and took pictures. My dad laughed at her. She is so weird. She did hug me and give me a big kiss after it wall all over though.

Whatchu' talkin' bout Mom

2008-03-05T17:34:00.005-05:00

I do not like surprises. Especially those that begin with "David, you have to go the doctor's". At my age, a wise 6.5 months, going to the doctors is a euphemism for, "You are getting a shot, a lot of them, and they are going to hurt". Mom and Dad say that it is for my own good and they want me to remain healthy. Whatever. As you can see I was not amused by this news.

Didn't I just go to the doctor like 2 months ago?!?

I will update everyone on my stats later.

Hair! Flow it, Show it...Long as God can grow it!

2008-03-04T15:14:00.009-05:00

My hair is finally growing back. I was born with a head full of it. See!?!

Me @ 1 day old. (photo taken by Ms. Cristin).

Then I had some sort of baby male patterned baldness and my hair grew into a pretty funky mohawk. I had no hair on the sides, very little in the back, and a curly mass on top. Apparently, my father's hair grew in this exact pattern when he was a baby, so I guess it is hereditary (what did I tell you about my really extensive vocab?). If my mom can find a picture of him when he was a baby she will post.

Today, I think my hair is making a comeback!

I'm not only a client....I'm the playa president

My mom found the title of this blog based on a song from the musical Hair. She thought she was being funny and creative. Hmmmmm....try again. from now on I name my own blogs.

Rest of Weekend- My mom is a stalkerazzi

2008-03-03T09:39:00.009-05:00

I went to church yesterday and I got to wear my cool blue sweater for the first (an possibly last since I am growing so fast) time. Pair this with my brown corduroy pants and I was sharp. I had a little accident with a bottle of milk and my pants hence no photo of the complete outfit.

Then my mom wanted to get all paparazzi on me. After church, After I had eaten. I was not in a picture taking mood....

Please, help me! I just want to take a nap. What is mommy looking at?

...As evidenced by the following photo take a mere two minutes (literally) after the one above.

See, a man cannot even get his rest.

Finally refreshed, I had tummy time. I am getting so much better at this and my parents think that I will be crawling rapidly in no time. No irritability today, my guns were nicely soothed by my endless supply of Orajel. Not much happened today, I chilled and played. I had a busy week, so I needed to rest before it started back up again.

So it was off to bed for me. I have gotten pretty good at soothing myself to sleep. I could have fallen asleep sooner had my mom not decided that she wanted another photo shoot.

Now I told her I was tired. She just won't leave me alone. This is just plain mean.

I mean if you insist on taking my picture, mom, here you go.

It is kind of funny, I look like my dad when I am sleepy, but like my mom when I am awake. Hmmm, what do you all think?

New Food Alert

2008-03-01T23:37:00.009-05:00

Tonight I feasted on Beech Nut Butternut Squash. The squash was good, much better than the peas.

I am going pretty big and strong and when I go to the doctor's on the 5th, I'll see how much weight I have gained. Last time I went to the doctor's on January 2nd, I weighed 16lbs and was 27.5 inches long. My dad is hoping that I have broken 20lbs. He wants me to be the first baby bodybuilder. Needless to say, my mom is not to keen on this idea.

Straight Chillin'

2008-03-01T23:27:00.003-05:00

This weekend has been great. I relaxed. Increased my personal best during at home tummy time. I do have church on Sunday, but other than that I have been in all weekend with my mom. My gums are bothering me, so I hope these teeth come in soon. I'm trying to chew on everything in site. My vibrating teether is working well though.

Which one should I get?

2008-02-28T10:25:00.005-05:00

Ms. Donna sent mommy a list of funny, off-color t-shirts. This is bad because my mommy loves off-color humor. These are her favs- well at least the ones that she can post on a blog that our family reads.

...And it very well may be.....

"You know its hard out here for a piiiiiiiiiiiimp...."

HAHAHAHAHA. Which one would you choose?

Total Baby Exploitation

2008-02-28T10:09:00.002-05:00

Apparently, I do this funny, sucking thing in my sleep. My parents find it HILARIOUS. I, on the other hand, think that it is quite underhanded that they take pictures of a poor defenseless baby who is trying to catch a nap on the sly. Geez, go figure.

Face Off

2008-02-27T10:22:00.003-05:00

He thinks he can make me go to sleep? Does he not realize that I am in control of this situation? We stare each other down, give each other the evil eye....but no one, and I mean no one can outstare me. It is a shame that he even tried.

I had a late night yesterday. I stayed awake until 10:30! Of course, I had to catch the end of the Vanderbilt/Tennessee game....and have another yummy bottle. Ahhhh, Enfamil.

My mom bought me a new shirt and is anxious for it to come in the mail.

My workout regimen has really been paying off.

Notice those abs of steel and those big guns. Milk definitely does a body good. This is me today, but in 2035 I could look like this:

Watch out now!

Monday Recap

2008-02-26T09:08:00.006-05:00

Mondays are just always rough.

I am late on this post but yesterday I was TIRED. This cutting tooth thing zaps all my energy and all I want to do is eat, sleep, and fuss. Mostly just fuss.

I came home yesterday ate peas (we all know how that went the last time around), and played the fun airplane game with dad. Please notice my delight.

This is so much fun. Then it was bath time for me, and time where I sit back, chill, and reflect on the happenings of the day. Let me think: eat, sleep, tummy time, play, eat, sleep....man, I had a loong day.

"...so fresh and so clean clean..."

Then I gear up to do it all again tomorrow......ah, my life is grand,

Peek-A-Boo! I see you!

2008-02-24T19:21:00.003-05:00

I swear this game will never get old.

If you hair is fake I will pull it.

2008-02-24T16:16:00.005-05:00

I went to church today peep the outfit:

I will always hit you with the fly footwear courtesy of Old Navy Oh, and the argle printed sweater, that was all my idea. Nothing says sophistication better than argyle.

Lesson learned today: Never sit me next to someone in church with false hair. Why? Because I will pull it. HARD. I mean I just wanted to play with that nice lady's braid, and I thought I could maybe put it in my mouth. She did not seem to mind so much, but my parents kept apologizing. I shot her a cute look for a little something extra. If the Lord forgives, I knoooow she can. I mean, I am a baby-I will pull on long dangly things. So as long as you do not go all Beyonce with the weave, you should be fine, but I won't make any guarantees.

ps. My parents will have an appointment with Pastor this week, be on the lookout for my christening date!

New Accomplishment-Fart Noises

2008-02-23T22:49:00.003-05:00

I am a boy. I had to learn sometime. Fart noises are just naturally funny.

Stop trying to steal my thunder.

2008-02-23T22:38:00.004-05:00

I mean whose blog is this? Mine. This is what I do to people trying to steal my shine without my permission. Dad has learned his lesson.

No thanks. I can do it myself

2008-02-23T21:58:00.004-05:00

I love pears. I really do. This eating thing is a piece of cake. This is what happens when my mother takes too long spooning me the good stuff

If you want something done right. You have to do it yourself.

Every Since I Can Remember I Been Poppin' My Collar...

2008-02-22T15:02:00.005-05:00

Sometimes I even impress myself. Ladies, watch out-here I come! What I am wearing today to daycare.

I even hooked this outfit up with some fly footwear

Don't hate the playa....hate the game ;)

Afternoon/Night Recap-Tried a New Food!

2008-02-22T14:26:00.010-05:00

Things were so busy last evening that my mom did not get a chance to post.
I had a great day at daycare. Ms. Angela (my day-care provider)tells me that I am getting stronger by the day. Here is a picture of Ms. Angela and I.

My hands taste almost as good as my feet. Almost

I have my own personal bouncer there as well. Here is another photo of the daycare. There are five kids (including me). I also think that I am the only boy now which is GREAT!

My personal favorite is the swing. I have the exact same one at home.

Then I went home when ta-daa! My mom introduced me to a new food. Gerber's peas. Do I like peas? Hmmmmmm.....you be the judge.

.....the jury is still out on this one. I finished the whole bowl though and this made mom very happy

Mom, can I digest before you take my photo?

I finally got a nice realxing bath and proceeded to do my yoga before bed. This pose is called "cradle the baby" (really, it is. Ms. Donna told me so!)

yes, I can even hold my pacifier at the same time.

Overall, it was a good night and I am ready for the weekend. Just have to get through Friday!

Good Morning

2008-02-21T08:55:00.012-05:00

I hope all is well with everyone today. I had a GREAT night sleep and I know that my mom was especially happy about that.

But really though, mommy needs to stop snapping that camera when I am not ready to take a photo. I need a minute to become fully awake.

really, mom really?!? Instead of snapping my photo, you need to make sure my breakfast is ready.

Now that's better. Watch me in action as I not only feed myself, but using my big manly muscles, manage to hold on to my big 8oz bottle.

After breakfast I like to get a workout in. Off to the Exer-Saucer. It makes sounds whenever I hit or spin anything. What fun! Mom gets quite excited whenever I do these things so I thought that I would give her a show. It really does not take much to please her!

For any of you ladies out there looking for a young bachelor with great spinning capabilities I am your man.

Finally, off to day-care. I shall post later with some pics so you can meet my friends and Ms. Angela my day-care provider. She is great. Maybe I can squeeze in a quick nap in the car.

no such luck. Give my mom a camera and she goes crazy. What does a baby have to do to catch a quick nap before day-care? Geez.

Nighty-Night

It has been a loong day. Between tummy time, playing with my Exer-Saucer, and joking around with mommy. I am tired! Being a baby is hard work.

I just wanted to leave you all with some action shots:

Feet are the absolute best things...now I'm pretty sure that you are supposed to do more with them than eat them. My mommy hardly ever gnaws on hers. She does not know what she is missing!

I had a nice warm bath which makes me feel really relaxed and comfortable.
And with that I am out! Talk to you all tomorrow!

I am six months old today!!!

I am 1/2 year old today. Wow, time flies. Can't you tell how excited I am?

New accomplishments:

I can sit up by myself for a whole ten minutes. I am going for a personal best of fifteen minutes by the end of the week. Its nice not having to be propped up against the couch pillows as much. I can actually see my feet from this angle. Who knew that my own feet would be so delicious? So much so, that while sitting I like to lean all the way over to place my feet in my mouth. This is almost as fun as when I am on my back.

I am blowing bubbles. This is probably because I have got to new teeth growing at the bottom center of my mouth. I am not too sure about this teeth thing but since mommy and daddy seem to have so many of them, it must not be that bad. It does hurt though and it makes me slightly irritable. I recommend Orajel for babies. It comes in this awesome cherry flavor.

I also make new noises. My favorites are "da" and "ga" . Not very eloquent to the regular human ear, but my mommy and daddy understand everything that I am trying to say.

I am new to this whole blogging experience but I hope to update as often as possible...well at least as often as my mommy can type :)
