Bye Bye

Well Gama and Popop and Uncle Ed had to head back home. Here are a bunch of pictures of us and all the food we ate :)

C’mon Big Money! Big Money! Oh wait Mommy and Daddy won’t let me bet :(

 DSC02050

The jockeys are getting ready to race. Please mom and dad can I please bet on them? Please? Just a few hundred dollars is all I need. “No child of mine is going to throw away my hard earned money on the ponies!” That was what Dad said.

Run horsey run! Not that I care. No. It’s not like I have any money on this race or anything. Noooo. That would just be wrong!

This photo is not blurry. When my grandpa cooks he really does move that fast.

Daddy says if gold were food, this is what it would look like. Roast beef, and about a gallon of gravy. You can’t see the two yorkshire puddings, peas, roasted potatoes, etc.

After dinner everybody is so tired from eating that they can’t move. What’s more work, cooking it, eating it, or digesting it?

It takes some fancy camerwork to get my head to cover up his head!

100_0475

Okay daddy you can kiss this cheek this time.

100_0477

Every month Mommy will take a picture of me next to my teddy rabbit that Uncle Ed got for me. Then you can see how much I’ve grown! This is my 1 month shot.

100_0482

Oh it’s time for a picture? Okay let me get my squirm on then!

100_0483

We went back to the park for a walk and some nice strangers took our picture. But we did not talk to them. Never talk to strangers! Especially in the park. Especially in the woods!

100_0485

At the park there was another horse. But there was just one so there was no racing. Uncle Ed and I bet on how long until the horse “fertilized the park”. It turns out I was actually the first to go, so the challenge was thrown out.

L ook away Daddy, I’m shy.

100_0487

Popop bought flowers for Mommy and Gama for Mother’s Day, wasn’t that nice?

100_0489

Hey back off, I can hold my own binky! Jeez.

100_0491

I think this is the activity they call “sleep” but I didn’t think I ever did that?

100_0492

Gama is cuddly.

100_0497

Sometimes when I have gas they put a sock full of hot microwaved rice on my stomach. What’s so funny?

100_0499

Here I am delivering the punchline to my joke about a Rabbi, the Pope, and a dirty diaper. I don’t think she got it.

DSCN0052

Daddy is like a modern day “boy with his finger in the dam”. If he pulls it out nothing will flood, but I will cry for hours. It’s up to you to decide which is worse?

Two Cameras Doubles The Pictures

Here are yet more pictures from Gama, Popop, and Uncle Ed.

Finally a picture of my Uncle Ed.

 100_0463

Daddy shows off his diaper changing skills to impress the family. I went ahead and didn’t pee on him this time.

100_0462

Mommy opened some gifts for me.

100_0461

We went for a walk and Gama pushed me all over the neighborhood.

100_0460

I’m being good for Popop today but tomorrow I’ll probably show him what’s what.

100_0457

I’m standing! I’m standing!

100_0456 

Do you see the resemblance? Please say you don’t see it?

100_0454

Uncle Ed had a back ache from all the hospital ER trauma he dishes out. So Popop gave him a patented DeHope shiatsu massage.

100_0467 

Just me. What else do you need a picture of?

Gama & Popop and Uncle Ed Visit - Friday

This weekend Dad’s mom and dad and brother visited. They flew up from Tampa, Florida.

Popop makes a run for it, he’s headed for the back door!

Proud Grandparents.

Popop measured my scalp for a hat fitting.

 DSC02036

Here’s the hat Popop skinned for me.

Looking and Gama.

 DSC02039

It’s a giant pink blimp of happy joy… but I’m crying?

DSC02041 

Two cakes… great minds think alike.

DSC02043

Cookie cake is Mommy’s favorite.

DSC02044

I’m four weeks old today!

 DSC02045

Here’s me blowing out the candle on my cake. My lungs are actually quite advanced.

Are you sure we’re related?!

A Visit With Aunt Marilyn and Kay

Mom’s Aunt Marilyn and Kay came over to keep us all company one day last week. Don’t ask me which day, they all kind of blur together after a while. It’s like this ongoing montage of nursing, sleeping, crying, and pooping.

Aunt Marilyn brought over KFC in a pink tub. What’s up with that? It was still tasty though. Baby prefers extra crispy.

DSC02031 

Aunt Kay offered to baby sit. Any time. Including weekends. For free. With no notice. Thanks!

Derby Party!

Natalie and Darren invited us to their Derby party this year, even though we won big last year. It was a lot of fun to see everybody and to watch the races.

Check Out the big pot on the mantle! Mom and Dad didn’t win anything though :(

Mommy held me the whole time. Hey it’s better than listening to me cry, right?!

This is my mom’s mom’s sister’s husband’s dad’s mom Arlene holding Isabella who is my mom’s mom’s sister’s son’s husband’s daughter.

Arelene gets to hold the baby and Aunt Carol gets lunch… who won?

Daddy Brings Home The Bacon

Daddy had to go back to work. Don't ask me why. I don't know what could possibly be more important than me?! Mommy is still here though. One out of two isn't bad. Plus she has all the milk, so I'm not complaining.

Can You Believe He Came Home On Monday?

Yes I'm Ready To Get Up Now
