The perfect pose for the camera!

Do you think they'll get the message *this* time? I don't like my picture taken, ok?


Thank you, and have a nice day!

A new chair?

I don't recall ordering a new chair... And I don't recall ordering one quite this big! Those parental things of mine once again did something strange. They picked me up, sat me down in this chair, strapped me in and made me a prisoner, once again, in my own home.

And then ... came the tray.

I could barely see what was going on! Here I am, just a little dude, strapped into a chair. I waited expectantly for *something* to happen...


Eventually, another toy appeared with lots of flashing lights. It blocked my view of the outside world completely. I'm convinced...this evil contraption is a place for mommy and daddy to put me when they want to escape!


Like, you think that's ever going to happen? NOT!

A typical sortta day..

I spend quite a bit of time now just wriggling around on the floor, looking cute and the like. Every now and again, however, I even surprise myself. The crawling thing is almost happening -- I can wriggle across the ground to get a toy pretty well, and flip left or right onto my tummy (if given good reason, like, to annoy mommy and daddy). Mostly, though, I spend my days just hanging out waiting to get bigger and better (and of course, much, much cuter!)



Now if they would only take this bleepin' bib off of me, I'd be mega cute! Of course, I might have to learn to stop drooling first, but hey, I'm just a baby for Pete's sake...

A few more photos...

... of Nathan and Naomi from before they took off. They posed with mommy and a statue of a LION! I've got lots of pictures of lions around...



My favorite lion is this one picture in my crib. It's really cool, and nicely textured. I often stroke it while falling asleep at night due to its bumpy texture!

Solids!

Yes, I've now graduated to solid food...

...which is really more mush. Well, a *very* liquidy mush. It's this cereal stuff, and while it isn't exactly the most exciting dish in the world, it's *my* first solids. Before now, I was never quite sure what I was missing when they ate ice cream... But now? Well, this sure beats plain milk. Add in that chocolate, all that sugar and cool flavors and I can't wait!


So, with that in mind ... Don't send love, SEND ICE CREAM!

Viewer Questions

A random viewer writes,

Why is it that so many of the photos of you have you sitting in the same blue chair?

Well, Random Viewer, the answer is simple. You see, the chair has these little safety clips and I haven't figured out how to undo them yet. If it wasn't for those complicated little childproof things, it'd be like, "FOOM!" and I'd be off to the nearest ice cream shoppe! Never mind the fact I can't walk yet; I'd hail a cab (I've seen daddy do that ... it can't be THAT tough).

I could also say 'cos mommy and daddy are too cheap to have a vast collection of little chairs for me! One blue chair and one swing clearly aren't enough places...

Another viewer writes,

Aren't you just the cutest thing? You're totally adorable!

Well, yes, I am the cutest thing. And I'm totally adorable, even when I'm throwing a tantrum! In the future though, if you'd like to emphasize it a bit, you can say "...the most cutest thing" or even "...the totally most cutest thing in the whole universe." Please, though, no comparison to furry or fluffy animals!

New Mat...

I got a new mat to crawl around on from Ikea. It has these pictures of roads and highways and cool things -- when I'm older, I'll even get to push around little cars around on it happily!


In the meantime, it is a great place to crawl. It makes me feel like King Kong, or Godzilla!
