Leaving on a jet plane...

You're just going to have to do without me for a little while. My mom is taking me on a fabulous, all expenses paid vacation to Grandma and Grandpa Huffman's house in Texas. But before that, we are flying to Seattle to see my Uncle John and Aunt Shelly. Not to mention the lovely cousin Lucy. I have promised my worried mother that I will behave on the plane, but she doesn't look reassured. Apparently I have a temper, and I get bored sitting in one spot. (I didn't know this about myself.) She says a 5 hour plane ride is like 17 hours in baby time. Really, I think she underestimates the power that these sweet cherub-like cheeks will have over the most disgruntled of seat mates.

I may only be 4 months old, but this traveling thing isn't new to me. I've already been in 7 states! Two more will be a piece of cake!
Bon Voyage!

Sleeping Beauty

I slept through the night last night! The ironic thing is that my mom had the worst night of sleep ever- She kept getting up to make sure I was still breathing! A creepy ghostly hand hovering in front of your face doesn't lend to sweet dreams. Still, I don't want to worry my poor mom- I think I'll be considerate, and go back to waking up every three or so hours...


Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Water Baby

I went swimming for the first time! Along with Aunt Sherri's big new house, comes a big new pool. Surely a guest as cute as me will always be welcome. I wasn't sure about this swimming thing at first, but  thanks to my cousin Olivia, I got the hang of it really quick. I even went under the water twice!

A proverb..

Give a boy some parents, and he will be loved and cherished...

Give a boy some cousins, and he will be a prop and plaything until he's big enough to retaliate.

I have two little hands...

..Today's post is for my mom.  To say that she loves this picture is an understatement!  Try not to notice my badly clipped fingernails-  it takes a surgeon's precision to clip these nails!   To be fair, I've only suffered one injury at her hands. I cried pitifully, and she was appropriately remorseful.  I'll let that one slide, and hope for improvement. And just in case you haven't had enough of my cuteness, how about this one:

(Jack at 7weeks)

She calls them "little piggies," and pretends to eat them.  Should this be cause for alarm?  If any of them turn up missing, I'll be sure to let you know.

 Enjoy your Friday, everyone!!!

What's the big deal?

Mom always gives this huge sigh when she talks about this stuff called "laundry."   I can tell you that I've now participated in this dreaded event, and I don't see what the big deal is.   Seems like great fun to me.  There's soap, there's bubbles, there's water (which I'm a huge fan of).  Not to mention those soothing vibrations that make me want to take a little snooze.....   almost.    I will admit to taking a tad bit of offense when Mom asked me if I wanted to help, and then proceeded to prop me in this wretched laundry basket.   If that's helping, I believe my talents are being largely underutilized.  

Nevertheless, I'm learning to be patient.   These people amuse me, so I believe I'll humor them a bit longer...

Recipe for a perfect Sunday afternoon

Eat some Wheat Thins:

Snuggle in for a nice Sunday nap:

I'm craving something...

I see TWO tacos there, Aunt Sherri. That can't be a coincidence!

*Disclaimer: No babies were actually fed chips and salsa in the course of this Tijuana Flats outing..

Deep Thoughts..

Don't let that slack-jawed look fool you. I'm really a deep thinker. Some things I've been pondering:
1. What is it about a Binkie that makes everything ok?
2. Why do my parents insist on putting me to bed at 8:30? I have several hours of crabbiness left to share.
3. When are they going to get the blasted A/C fixed? I didn't know naked was going to become this season's new look.
4. Should I be flattered or offended that my mom uses the same sweet voice with me that she uses when talking to the dog?
5. And finally, what's with the magnet obsession on the fridge? Do they multiply in the night? I'm too short now, but I anxiously await the day when I'm tall enough to pull them all off and throw them on the floor. Jolly good fun!

I found my mouth!

For a solid week, I've had my fist in my mouth.   I'm not sure why, but I can't get enough of it!  Mom was afraid people would think I wasn't being fed, so she bought me this fun little toy.  I'm amused by its colors, but the chewy beads are really where it's at.   Bon Appetit!

Who you callin' little?

Being in charge of a whole household is hard work. Good thing I have this comfy position on Mom and Dad's bed. It makes ordering the help around so much more satisfying.

My shirt may say "Little Peanut," but I'm pretty much "The Big Cheese" around here..

Welcome Friends!

Mom says she is going to help me post pictures so that my family can see me grow! I will try to post at least one a day, because let's face it- I'm always doing something cute.


This one is of me sleeping on Mom and Dad's bed. The AC has been on the fritz, so I stripped down and had a nap under the ceiling fan! My trusty binkie is never far from my side....
