Family Time

I think I've got this thing down...sit in the nice leather chair, watch TV, and hang out. Grandpa and I know how to enjoy the finer things in life.
This was me during my first garter toss at Steven's wedding. I tried to catch it but it just didn't come my way.
But I did get to spend some quality time with Mom's cousins and my Uncle Jon.

This is me and Amanda. I'm building my resistance to the camera in this picture. See below for the full-blown effect.
And this is me with Corbin. I promise I like him...I was just not in the mood to get my picture taken.This is me hanging with Sarah. She looks happy, but I'm looking a bit sleepy.

And the sleepy face continues here with grandma. I guess I'm just so comfortable in her arms that I feel like taking a nap.
And now I'm chilling with Uncle Jon. Life is good!

Daddy is a STUD

My Daddy is such a stud! Look how happy he makes me. He fixed our camera (he is so smart) so now Mommy can take pictures of us again! I know you've been desperate this past week to see me.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk...GO KU!


Check this out! He built me a coat rack with my name on it. You sure couldn't buy that in a store...especially with MY name on it. Let me know if you want him to build one for you!

And this is me with Sr. Elena. She is a nun from Italy! She sure is a great soccer player. It was her birthday so we went to visit her. Notice my shirt...I'm ready to play soccer too!
And this is me with my cousin Maddie. I had a lot of fun playing with her on Sunday...I promise I was happy even though I wasn't too smiley in the picture. Do you like the quilt behind me? Maddie made that for me (although Doris might have helped a little).

Broken Camera

Well, my mommy is very silly and she dropped our camera. So all the pictures that have been taken of me are...what's the word...inaccessible. Hopefully she will get that fixed soon, or I'll have to get ahold of grandma's camera. They say it's good to let people know how I'm feeling, so this is it...

But please, keep checking my blog. I mean, how long can it take to fix a silly camera?

My New Beanie

So, my mom bought me a new beanie for the fall/winter season. What do you think?Personally, I think I look great in argyle. And it goes great with my skater boy look...

P.S. Benedict let me borrow his saucer...but I'm not sure why my mom thinks I need to wear a hat while I'm playing in it.

Big Boy Benedict

Howdy partner! Welcome to my playtime. Today was great! I got to see my friend Benedict and my friend Dominic! And I got to play in Benedict's Exersaucer a lot!! Here's me...


And here is me playing with Benedict. Boy did we have fun!

But you really gotta watch him...you never know what he's going to do next. Notice, I have eyes like an eagle. Nothing gets past me!

Benedict has a question for you (notice his shirt)...Who's your Papa?
Why Benedict the 16th of course!! (Yes, that is Pope Benedict XVI we're speaking of.) I sure hope the next pope's name is Joachim. That would be way cool...
I was making a statement with my shirt too. Please, no teasing, but I do admit it...I'm a Momma's Boy. (Yes, I'm definitely speaking of the ultimate Mamma, the Blessed Virgin Mary!) I thought I'd wear my shirt today considering today is the Feast of the Assumption. I'll give you the theology on that later.
Is this picture confusing to you? It's me with my friends, but we are not being held by our parents. We're pretty tricky! Do you know who everyone is? (Here's a hint: The littlest one is Dominic)I hope you noticed my thighs in the above picture. I've really been working hard to make them look that good.

How about this one? Tricky again!
And in closing this is me with my Godfather Adam. I think he likes me!As you can see, it has been a very long, but fun day. Now I must retire to my bed chamber...err crib.

Dominic Augustine

Hello! I want everyone to know the good news...my new best friend, Dominic Augustine was born! His parents are my godparents, Adam & Carla. Does that make him my godbrother?













Isn't he cute...I mean handsome!



And below is a picture of Dominic and I from our playdate the other day.














I'm not sure what he's doing, but I think he's either trying to flex and show off his muscles or he's in deep meditation, possibly contemplating the finer things in life. As you can see, I have my hands folded and was deep in my own personal prayer until my silly mother started flashing the camera at us.

And this is me holding him...(I know, I'm quite an advanced 3 month old.)















And this is how I've become an overachiever...just check out my breakfast--with coffee, too!















And last night I was hanging out with my girlfriends. It was Katie D.'s birthday. I'm not sure which girl is the prettiest...maybe the second one from the left. She spends the most time with me at least. But they're all really great.
(Notice I'm not in the picture because I took the picture!)

















And this is me signing off. It's nap time!














Love you!

Big Happy Family

Who do you think I look like? Mom or Dad? Or both?

Want to meet my family? This is my Uncle Mark, my Grandma Margie, & my Grandpa George. A lot of people have said that I look like my Grandpa George.

And this is my Uncle Jon. He drove all the way from that crazy college in Manhattan to see me during his Final's Week. Now that's some love!

And this is my Uncle Eric. He's going to teach me how to play the trumpet...even though my Dad wants him to teach me the cello.
Notice the quilt that I'm laying on when Uncle Eric is holding me. Cool, huh? My late Nana Kathy put it together! I love it!


This is my Great Grandpa George and my Great Grandma Pauline. Isn't it nice that they dressed up to come see me.

This is my Grandpa Bob. I bet he thinks I look like a Burton boy!

And this is Uncle Blair. He was glad that I waited 10 days to be born because that was when he was in town. He was one of my very first visitors in the hospital.

This is my Aunt Jennifer. I'm glad Uncle Brad got married, because I have soooooo many uncles.
This is my Uncle Brad and Aunt Jennifer with me. They look like great parents. I can't wait for a new little cousin to come along!

This is my Uncle Mike...

...and this is what his shirt looked like after I peed on him! Hehe...sorry Uncle Mike!

This is Uncle Mike's wife, Aunt Andi. I promise I like her, really! I'm just crying because I want her to have a little cousin for me to play with. At least I didn't pee on you Aunt Andi!

I hope you enjoyed meeting my family. I have another Uncle Mark and cousin Maddie, but I'll have to take some pictures of them and post them later.

Love ya!

Playing is Hard Work

Ok, so I've given you some historic posts of my life way back when, so I thought I should show you what I'm up to these days at the ripe old age of 3 months.

This is what I had for dinner last night.

This is me in my jumperoo. Boy is it fun!

And this is me at the gym. I never knew playing could be so exhausting!

My Daddy

This is my dad...isn't he great? I love him a lot and he loves me too.

I'm not sure he's always that happy at midnight when he's tired but I'm not ready for bed...

But you know what I really like about my dad? I like that when he comes home from work we laugh and play a lot. He really knows how to tickle!

My 1st Blog

Well, this is my first time blogging. I figured now that I'm 3 months old I need to get with the program. That and my friend, Jared, who was born the same day as me has been blogging since he was 2 weeks old. Pretty impressive I know. But, well, I've been eating more so there! That's why I weigh 17 lbs. 5 oz. Almost double my birth weight! Have you done that Jared?

Anyway, on to my blog. Since I have some catching up to do, I might as well start at the beginning. This is me when I was first born. Pretty cute, huh? Ok, so I wasn't exactly thrilled to be out in the world...just ask my mom about that.

And this is me with my Mommy. I sure put her through a lot, but she loves me anyway!

Ok, that was a lot of work and I need a nap...and maybe a snack. I'll post more later.
