Finally met Grampa today! I'm stunned.

Stayed with Taki in Cincinnati tonight on my first car trip adventure. She's nifty.

Mom called me flaky! Me!

When she's the one applying olive oil and a toothbrush to the baby!

More hands.

Hot. It's.... hot. Really hot.

Bleah.



Richard and Kate brought over home made strawberry shortcake! (Still didn't have any.)

They called her 'Missy No-Nap', and she was unrepentant.

Mailed my first package today with the help of this nice man. (Postal workers get a bum rap. For example, this guy didn't even think of letting me fall off this counter. (Hmm. High.))

Alas, poor Yorick...
but Happy Birthday to the Bard!

(I um, didn't have a skull in the house.)

Happy Earth Day!

(I know this isn't the Earth. I wasn't born yesterday. I just thought I would conveniently rename it, BSG style.)

Yo homies. Dig my new crib. Cousin Henry gave me his old one.

Mom started walking today for her doctor-prescribed exercise. New shoes and everything. I'm not sure how the malt she picked up on the way fits in to the routine...


Also, we saw this spider on the doorstep on the way out. Mom says it looks like an octopus. I'll have to take her word for it.

Woah. Matt's got chops.

You can hear his song on Dad's site here.

Maybe next time he'll write a song for me!

Bob and Nayleen brought me this wonderful little furry friend from Australia. Hope she doesn't want to eat any of my bunnies!

Matt came over and played some guitar tonight. You'll be able to hear the results tomorrow on Dad's music blog.

"B" is for "boob." 

That's good enough for me.

Anne is bringing Thai food over tonight! Joining us are Adam, Kate, and Richard.

C'mon Mom. It's just 872 pages. You should ace this exam.

(BTW I marked the important material in drool... and could you take a break to feed me? And there's something brewing in my dipe. Might warrant a look-see.)

Personally, I don't see the resemblance.

No I don't like this boppi as well as the old one. Mom? What's that look? Is that garlic?

...

You have to hand it to Dad. He worked at home for part of today and we had some quality time.

Happy Easter!

Allow me to introduce you to my Bunny Friends. And, of course, three hard-boiled eggs.


Amie and Daren had us over for a scrumptious Easter dinner (and Carcassonne).

Aunt Jen expressed a fondness for the sleeping baby series...

Talk about a whirlwind tour, Cousin Henry and his parents couldn't go home quite as early as they planned because we had tornados today!

(It got better.)

But I'm Jammin!

Wait...what? I'm supposed to use my HANDS to play? How dumb is that!

Had an appointment with my personal physician today, and discovered that there's something worse than baths: shots. Owy!

On the bright side, I'm healthy. They say I weigh about 11.5 pounds (less than the scale at home says, but Dad always accuses it of being wrong anyway) and about 23.25 inches. The baby-measurers tell me that's 70th percentile in weight and 87th in height.

And again.

Ok, let's go over this drill once more....

Aunt Jen, Uncle Matt, and Cousin Henry are coming tonight, so Mom and Dad made up the guest room.

I helped.

Wha... hey! Don't leave me here! Mom!

Here, the parents are dangling me over the second story deck in order to demonstrate to you that spring has arrived in Nashville.

Had a bath today...

then Dad did my hair.

This is my food.

Get yer own.

Wakin' up is hard to do.

Sugar and spice and everything highly glycemic. That's what this little girl is made of.

They just told Mom her gestational diabetes didn't entirely go away and that she's going to have to do some serious work to keep it at bay...

...um...

I may have a few years of sucking up to do.

(Get it? And I'm nursing...)
