Take a peek into my life

OH MY GOSH! It finally happened!

Teeth? Nope. I'm not looking forward to those. I got something WAAAYYYYY better... my first mode of transportation!

I think it might be stuck in reverse though. I'm gonna have to take it down to the shop to get checked out. While I'm at it, I'll probably stop at Autozone to look for some new rims and offroad tires, Best Buy for a new "Hunny Pot" music system, and then I'll stop by dad's shop for a roll cage. Gotta stay safe when I go wheelin'!

Hooray for naps!

There's no toy in the world that makes me happier than my blanket. And when you combine a blanket with naptime... man... it's just the greatest!

Treat yourself to a little happiness and take a nap right now!

Dear Grandma Gloria,

Our time together was short... and I didn't get the chance to know you very well... but I will always love you for bringing my daddy into the world, just like my mommy brought me into the world... because without mommies, there would be no daddies, and my daddy is the greatest.


Rest In Peace Grandma Gloria

Being silly!

Mom says it's "really attractive". I can't wait to show the girls!

Whirlwind Wednesday!

I had such a fun day today! My friends were all able to get together for a play date! We originally planned to have our first swimming pool party but it turned out I brought my special underpants for nothing... it was too cold to swim today. But when I did a headcount, swimming became the last thing on my mind...
We have a new friend!!! Her name is Grace and she is 3 weeks old! I liked her immediately and decided to hold her hand.



Look how big we look next to little 8 pound Grace! I can't believe how far we've all come. Logahn already has his first tooth. Lilly is becoming quite the lady and is actually a smidge taller than I am right now. And I'm eating food off a spoon! Who knows what we'll be into by our next play date. Logahn, with legendary strength, will probably be able to bench press his own weight. Lilly, with those killer proportions, will probably get offered multiple modeling gigs. I'll probably ditch that spoon all together and become known as Master of the Spork. And little Grace... well... she'll probably be able to stay awake for our play date photo session by then.


After my play date, mommy took me to see her friends at work. I got to see my other girlfriend, Sherrie. She likes to eat my toes and makes fun noises that make me giggle! She's so nice. I have a bunch of other friends over there too! They liked to hold me, help me stand up, and tell me how cute I am... until I started crying that is. I couldn't help it! I was SOOOO tired and all the excitement of seeing so many people today was just overwhelming! I needed a nap and there wasn't a crib in sight... in fact... I need a nap.... right.... now... zzzzzzzzzzzz

Roll Call

Time for a Roll Call! Tell me who you are! I see cities showing up on my traffic list and would like to know who is visiting me! Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York... anyone that's reading this... click on "comment" below and do whatcha gotta do to leave an official "hello!"
Don't be a stranger anymore! Mom says I'm not allowed to talk to strangers!

Spoons

Is a spoon a you-tensil? Not anymore! Now it's an I-tensil!


Hair, bottles and.... dog food?!

When I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, I was shocked by what I saw!

LOOK AT ALL THE HAIR ON MY HEAD!

Can you see them all? All those hairs I grew? I grew them myself!

Once I stopped checking out my amazing, shiny locks of hair (did I mention I grew them myself!) I decided it was time to eat.
When I'm almost done with my bottle, I like to hold it and feed myself the last of it.

I think it's fun to stick it in my mouth... then pull it out... then stick it back in... then pull it out... then stick it back in...

...and then get bored and throw it away.

Once I got bored with the bottle, I told mom I needed something a little heavier to eat. I was thinking of something like sweet potatoes or squash... heck, I would have even been happy with green beans at that particular moment. But no. No such luck. Have you ever heard of something called "beef"? They should really call it "barf" instead of "beef". It's the worst vegetable I've ever tasted or smelled in my whole entire life. And now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think that was a vegetable at all! In fact, I don't think it was even baby food! I think a Beech Nut supply truck must have gotten in an accident with a Purina supply truck and their cargo got mixed up. That must be what happened. Think it's just my imagination? Take a look:

One of these bowls contains something that came out of a baby food jar and the other bowl contains something that came out of a dog food can. If you were babysitting me and these 2 bowls were left on the kitchen counter for dinner, which one would you feed to me and which one would you give to the dogs? Look them over... take your time. The one on the right or the one on the left?



Those of you who decided to feed me the bowl on the right just fed me canned dog food.


So I guess that means you should feed me the bowl on the left, huh?


WRONG!


When you can't tell the difference between baby food and dog food, the correct answer is to give them both to the dog and then search the cabinets for something you're not afraid to put in your own mouth.


Stop and think before giving your kid something that seems off.. it really might be baby food... but then again, it could actually be dog food... and even worse still, it could be Soylent Green!
"IT'S PEOPLE!!! IT'S PEEEEEOOPPPPPLLLLEEEEE!!!"

Dr Appointment

I went to see my doctor Wednesday. Can you believe I'm 6 months old already?! Holy cow!

Unlike last time, I was ready for my nurse to do what she had to do... I assumed the temperature-taking position.
Even though I have a little cold, there's no fever. I was a comfortable 98.6 degrees. Then she measured me. I'm 25.75 inches tall... I'll be riding roller coasters before you know it! And I'm 15 lbs 1 oz! All that oatmeal really helped me pack on the pounds. I jumped up to the 25th percentile now instead of being in the 5th! Hooray for me!

After the nurse did all her measurements, I got to hang out with the doctor. I like him a lot. Since I screamed so much at the last visit I thought I'd go easy on him this time.
Do whatcha gotta do, Doc!


I was such a good boy at this appointment. I didn't even cry when they gave me my shots. I gave one little yelp and that was it. Mommy was very proud of me.

Nap time!

I'm a genius

I decided it was the right time to let mommy know I'm a genius. Let me start from the beginning and set the scene for you...


1) the light in my room is on the ceiling


2) my play mat is directly under this bright light


3) to play with my octopus hanging above me I have to LOOK UP TOWARDS THIS BRIGHT LIGHT


4) staring at bright light makes me see spots


5) apparently my mom doesn't care if I see spots


6) so I took matters into my own hands


I decided I had enough of the spots. I took the cloth I love to chew on and turned it into a high tech eye protector. Now I can play with my octopus without going blind in the process.

And I'm happy to report my octopus no longer has spots.

Did you miss me?

I've been in Sandy Eggo!!! I got to see my friend Ryan, his big brother Jake and his super awesome mommy! She took some great pictures of us. Check out my trip!

I'm so big!


They have the same bouncer!

Mommy showing Ryan how to jump, jump, jump!

I said I was bouncing but mommy said I was catching flies... I don't get it.

I love cloth.

Mommy got to feed their chickens, Dorothy, Betty & Fluffy. Guess which one is Fluffy!

We're secure enough with ourselves to cuddle.

Here I am flirting with Ryan's mom. I'm making my best eyes for her.

I'm with Mommy!

Just being cute.

Havin' some laughs.


That's all for now!

I'm scared!

I was excited for Easter until mommy's friend Joe posted "Happy zombie Jesus day!" ZOMBIES!!! If you remember from a few posts ago, mommy says I'm "easy pickins" for a zombie because of my soft spot. OH MY GOSH!!! No wonder there's a whole section in the store dedicated to Easter bonnets... babies have to protect their brains from zombies!

Screw the bonnet! Someone hand me a helmet!


Happy Easter everyone! May your chocolate be tasty and your brains be kept safe.

Finally!!!

After weeks and weeks and weeks of no play dates, the mommies finally stopped making other plans and let us get together! As usual, Logahn couldn't keep his hands off Lilly... hope you didn't plan on needing that ear!
When Logahn went down for a nap, I thought I'd take the opportunity to chat Lilly up a bit.


But I couldn't win her over.

She's such a doll... hey wait... in this shot she really does look like a doll!

It was a great play date! I love my friends... and their mommies! (wink, wink)


In other news, Auntie Lisa gave me a plane ticket to go visit my friends, Jacob & Ryan, in Sandy Eggo next week!


This is Auntie Lisa.


This is an airplane.



I'm SOOOO excited! I love hanging out with those guys. It's gonna be so fun! Their mommy has an amazing camera so I'm sure we'll get some great pictures to show you. She didn't have it with her last time I came over. It was on an African Safari with Jacob & Ryan's Grandma. Can you believe it?! A REAL safari in Africa! The only safaris I get to go on are in my yard. We visit the tortoises, look for lizards and watch the hummingbirds. We have to watch out for Tarantulas and Black Widow Spiders though. I haven't seen any myself but mommy said we had some last year so we need to be careful 'cause otherwise they'll eat us.



So "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Auntie Lisa!
