I've been out half as long as I was in . . .

Hello everyone. I had my four month appointment the other day and got some shots in my leg. Man, that hurt. I cried for, like, nine seconds. Up until that point everyting was going so well. I got measured and weighed and the nurse lady was real nice. I found out I am in the 75th percentile for length and the 50th percentile for weight and head size. I would love to know everyone else's stats, so please leave them in your comments. Speaking of comments I would love to hear from some of you. Tell me what you think of the posts and if you have any questions I can answer them.

Let's see what I have for you that's new . . . I have started to roll around quite a bit. I'm not much for the rolling over bit, but my limbs just don't want to stop moving. The doctor said I will probably crawl soon. I don't know what that means, but I have been scooting backwards about half my body length everytime I have tummy time.

My new exersaucer is awesome. I can stand and spin around and do all kinds of cool things. I like sleeping on my side now, too.

Here are some recent photos of Easter in my blue coat and my cousins and my exersaucer.

Okay. Catch ya later, babes.

Spring Has Sprung & So Have I

WOW. In my last post I was talking about how cold it was. Now it is so hot outside, I rarely wear pants. Today was a blazer. A record setter, no less. Unfortunately, I found out that my feet sweat. Big time. They're like two damp sausages hanging off my legs.

I also realized that I don't really like parties that much. I love having company over, but once the crowd gets over 15 or so I am done with it. We all went to a baby shower last week, but I didn't last very long. Once I got back to the house I slept like an adult for three hours. I don't know any adults that get to sleep for three hours, though.

Next week my cousins Sophie and Auden are coming. They both are really curious about how big I am. To set the record straight, I am about 26" long and almost 15 pounds. Check that out! I will post a picture of Brett, my third cousin. Yep. Third cousin. She's my mom's cousin's daughter.

Oh, yeah, I'm starting to be able to sit up. I use my Bumbo seat and when I'm not doing that I play in my floor gym and kick and punch all of the stuff hanging in front of my face.

Last bit: Did anyone else watch Milan-San Remo today? What a race. I'm glad I got to watch it with Dad.

MORE NEWS: THIS JUST IN...I ROLLED OVER!!!

Well, that's all for now.

Winter Is Cold. Long Live Fleece.

Sometimes when I go outside it is very cold. This problem is made worse by the fact that I hate to wear hats. I hate hats because they always slip over my eyes in the car, so not only am I stuck staring at the dog all the time, randomly the "lights go out" as well. As soon as I can coordinate my hands, I am going to do something about that.

Lately I have been having a lot of fun in and around the house. I went to my first oyster roast over at Jason and Molly's and it was a bundle of fun but it was cold cold cold. Luckily, I was wearing a thick fleece suit. I posted a picture of me and Chloe and our friend Josie. I only just met her at the party, but she was cool and cute, too.

Speaking of meeting new people, Brett and her parents came over last night and all of us babies got together and slept. I slept in my swing, Brett slept in her car seat and Chloe, well, Chloe didn't sleep. All of the big people had a cookout and talked a bunch and laughed at each other. It was a bit much for me and Ruby, too. But after they all left, I jumped to action and stayed up late with Dad to watch TV. I slept in this morning until 8:45 and I think Mom was happy about that.

The weather here is getting quite nice and The Family is going for walks and Ruby is a good guard dog and sniffs the whole world and chases squirrels and runs fast into the woods. Silly dog. Dad is on Spring Break and gets to ride his bike a lot. I can't wait to ride a bike, too.

See you later.

Make This Your Desktop!

These baths are fun!! More friends and fun!!

More Photos . . . Look below for Story!!

I had trouble loading these before and I certainly don't want to leave these people and dogs out. Oh yeah and I book-ended the post with two sides of myself. Kiss yourselves for me. I miss you all to. Now go to bed.

You People are So Nice to Me . . .

I forgot a few, wel,l a lot, of people on my last post, but, true to form as the good people you are, there were no complaints. Therefore, I am given the rare opportunity to go back in time and repair mistakes. Well, not really back in time, I'll stay in the present, just trying to catch up, I guess. Anyway, check out the photos from other visitors and events around here.

OOOH! OHHHH!! Big News!! I have another cousin and a new friend across town. My cousin's name is Brett Emberlyn Jones and she was born yesterday at 2:05 in the morning. I got two words for 2:05 in the a.m. . . . SNACK TIME! Anyway, that means, of course, that she is the latest in a long line of people to use the famous Jones Family Bassinet. It was first used by my Great Grandfather, Edwin Jones, and his brothers. I hope she likes it, it served me well, but I am kind of a big boy now and ready to move into my own place.

The friend across town is Sydney Leigh Albenberg, sister to Zoe, born on Tuesday in a tub in her parents house. I guess she's a hippie. Speaking of tubs, I have been taking a lot of baths lately and kicking the mini tub like crazy. I take extra baths because I kinda broke out a little and got cradle cap and a rash and, man, I looked rough. Thank heavens for soft focus lenses. It was so bad I had to go to the doctor's office and get naked and weighed. I'm over 12 pounds now, though.

As far as events go, my Poppy had his birthday over here and nearly burned the place down with all of the candles. Today I went to see cousin Courtney at Sticky Fingers but didn't get to eat any ribs and later went to Theatre 99 for a bit of a visit. Uncle Josh and Aunt Amy are out of town with cousin Chloe in Indiana so their dog Bella is visiting and she and Ruby dig up the backyard and run around and bark. I laugh at them and they sniff me back. Their breath stinks.

My other cousins are coming down for a visit in a couple of weeks. So Sophie get your books ready and Auden teach me how to sleep really long.

I got a Valentine's card from Max, Aidan, Aunt Mysi & Uncle Ecto. That's my first V-Day card, but I know I will get one and maybe a pair of silk diaper covers from my girlfriend Grace. Kisses to you, sweetheart.

Happy Valentine's Day everybody or, as we call it around the house, Mr. Cahal's two month day!!

See ya!

Where has the time gone????

I feel like I just woke up from a dream. Apparently, I have been in some sort of a haze since my last post. I mean, c'mon, it's been over two weeks! That is the sort of behavior that causes interest to wane. Well, like Hillary Rodham Clinton, I'm in to win.

I suppose everyone will want to know what has been happening in that span of time. Let's see, the person with the lower voice has been away most days, the one with the softer voice and I take him places in the car, like, every morning. The weather hasn't been too bad, though. It was really cold one day and I got to dress up in a big puffy suit that made me look like the Michelin man.

There have been a lot of visitors and I am having fun with something called "tummy time." Really, everyone needs to try this. Just lay on your belly and try to hold your head up for like ten seconds. Whoa. The best part about tummy time is that it happens in this funky room-without-walls type of place.

The visitors have been a lot of fun, too. My Uncle Peter & Aunt Miriam stayed for a few nights last weekend and told the people I'm normally with a bunch of things that have made my life easier. They also had a dog with them named Teddy. Too bad for me though they left their kids at home, my cousins, Sophie & Auden. I was hoping I could compare hair color with Auden and learn some of this reading I keep hearing about from Sophie. Anyway, Uncle Peter gave me a bottle and Aunt Miriam loved carrying me around. I loved it, too. Their visit was alot of fun and I know the people who are here all of the time liked it as well.

Speaking of having fun being caried around. I have been working on my smile recently, you know, to woo the ladies. Well, it's worked. I think I have roped in Grace. I put her picture up so you all can see her. Unfortunately she lives in some dreadful sounding place called Cleveland. She's starting her own business so, hopefully, before I'm 25 she'll have free time to visit me again. I might call Ashton Kutcher for advice.

Other than that, I have been sleeping more and getting plump. I went to the doctor because I was all broken out (another reason for not so many posts lately) and I am up to 11 pounds. I'm huge! I gotta run. The comedy festival is happening and I might try to catch the finale. People have been talking about it all week in the house.
