Hi folks! I’m back with another long-awaited post. Here’s the update:

I still have only 6 teeth, but there are others close to coming out.  Sometimes, my mouth just hurts and I have to cry a lot and have mommy and daddy hug me a lot.  Back at the end of January, my daycare closed, so mommy and daddy found me a new place to go.  It’s right near our house. I started there on Feb 2nd.  That night, when mommy and daddy picked me up, I had a fever of 102.6.  Daddy and I stayed home the next day, during which I did a lot of sleeping.  That day, my fever broke, and I started to feel better.  I went back to daycare Wednesday and Thursday and Friday.  On Saturday, I wasn’t feeling great.  Daddy went to his friend’s house to play cards and I stayed home with mommy. I threw up all over her.  Then I threw up in my crib. It was miserable. Thanks to mommy for making me feel better.  I went back to daycare on Monday and Tuesday, but Tuesday, I had some runny poos that exploded out of my diaper twice.  Mommy and daddy were both sick, too, so we all stayed home today.  Mommy and I did some napping. It was beautiful outside, so we went outside and I helped daddy clear up some snow and ice in the yard.  Let’s see, what else… the people at daycare are impressed with the lunches that mommy’s been packing for me.  They want her to do a presentation on nutritious lunches for the rest of the parents. I got a new pair of sneakers last weekend, they’re cool. And, possibly the coolest thing, I got a dividend check for my stock.  You see, Uncle Steve bought me a share of Disney stock for my birthday.  The other day, a check showed up at the house for me. Woo hoo! I’m goin’ to Vegas! Maybe not yet. As a shareholder, I’m also invited to attend the Disney annual meeting.  Haven’t decided yet if I’m going to go. They want me to vote to give the execs the opportuinity to give themselves raises and stuff without any supervision! Yeah, right! 

That’s about it, for now.  Here are a few pics…

February 8th: I was watching Wall-e with mommy and daddy. That’s a funny movie.

Same day, playing with one of my wooden spoons.

Feb 11: The other day, I figured out how to open the drawers in the entertainment center.  I like to just take everything out of the drawers and put it on the floor, or take things out and carry them around the house, so that DVDs end up in the kitchen and stuff.

That’s it for me.

Power to the toddlers!

Well, it’s been four months since I’ve posted anything, primarily because Daddy’s been a slacker.  A lot has happened: my first Hallowe’en, my first Thanksgiving, my first birthday, Christmas number 2, I’m walking, I’m running, I’m talking a bit, and I’ve now got six teeth.  All of these things and more over just the past four months.  Many of them, daddy has captured on film, but he’s too lazy to edit them all and post them.  So, I’ll try to put some online, but they’ll probably be out of order so that I can get some current ones up for you all to see.

Thanks to those of you who have requested that I post more.  It’s nice to know that my public hasn’t moved on to newer babies. So, without further adieu…

 
January 6, 2009: Here I am running around in my sweet Puma tracksuit, whcih was a gift from Uncle Todd. He’s the bomb.

January 11, 2009: I love my talking Elmo!

January 17: Here I am in my dinosaur play tent, or, “the apartment” as mommy and daddy like to call it.  This thing is huge.  I can stand up inside it.  It’s shaped like a big dinosaur, and takes up a big chunk of the living room. Daddy likes to nap in my apartment.

January 19: I think I might like to be a butler when I grow up.  This broom is fun to carry around the house.  Maybe I like it because mommy and daddy have to sweep up after me all the time.

That’s all I’ve got for now.

Peace out!

Here are some photos that daddy just finished editing.  They are from June 19, and were taken at daddy’s office.  That’s his ugly rug in the background.

Sometimes, daddy’s office is confusing.

Sometimes, it makes me hungry.

And sometimes, it just makes me sleepy.

Peace y’all.

Here’s the last set from May.

May 26th: Let’s go out, my public awaits!

May 27th:

I think I was a little concerned about something when this one was taken.

Now I’m ready to go.

CPE out.

Here are some more. Daddy’s making a valiant effort to get caught up. At least, he wants me to say that.

That’s me on May 24th, in my swing.

Here area a bunch from May 25th. Nanna and Boppa were here to visit.

I was laying around on the floor. This is easy for me, and it amuses them.

They’re even more  amused when I roll over.  Rolling is how I get around these days.  I’m not crawling, but I can barrel roll across short distances pretty quick.

Here I am working on my bouncee thing.  My diagnosis? “It’s the Pfetzer valve.”

I might be pooing in this photo.

Charlee and me laying on my blanket.  As you may now know, it turns out that I am allergic to Charlee, and mommy and daddy had to get rid of her.  I think Charlee may have known – she never got that close to me.  This picture is a rarity.  This picture makes mommy and daddy sad.

There are more.  See you soon.

Peace out Pampers people.

May 17th.

So I’ve got this bouncee thing.  I sit in a sling, and I’m surrounded by all of these things that move, make noise, spin, and otherwise are supposed to keep me interested for hours.  I have to be barefoot so that I can get enough traction to spin my seat around to get to the other toys.

Wowee! By the way, I love this pirate shirt.

Once I catch a toy I like, I generally try to eat it.  This has become a theme of mine of late -  I put pretty much everything I can get my hands on in my mouth.  This includes toys, remote controls, any cloth, paper, my fingers and fists, mommy and daddy’s ears and noses, etc.

Here are a couple of photos from May 22nd.

Sleeping in mommy and daddy’s bed.

And awake in the same place.

That’s it for now.

Here’s another bunch that Mommy took, and which daddy found on the backup camera. Mommy was into extreme closeups this day, I guess.

I’m cool!

Oops!

Cheese Grommit! Cheese!

I can eat the camera while you take my picture.  Beat that!

Our lips are so close…

I’m an excellent drooler.

What was that?!

Here’s a shout out to the diaper wearers – you know who you are!

-CPE

Daddy found a few more in the other camera.  Mommy took these sometime soon after April 20th.

Here are daddy and me getting ready to take a nap…

Well, daddy fell asleep…

Wait, I have something to say!

Forget it, I’m just going to eat this blanket.

Peace out, babies!

Here are two more from April.  I really think this is the end of the April photographs.

This one is of me and daddy sleeping.  Mommy took this one because she thought it was cute that we were both sleeping in the same position, with the same expression on our faces.  April 25, 2008.

Here’s another one of me on the playmat.  This one’s from April 30th.  I like to pull the animals down so that I can suck on their feet.

That’s it for April.

Thanks for reading.

Daddy caught me checking out this catalog.

Let’s see what’s inside…

Hmph…

She seems like a nice lady…

Yahtzee!!
