I tried to sit in my chair for dinner again tonight, but I was not happy. I was kicking and pounding my table quite aggressively. I was like an unpleased chairman of the board. Mommy and Daddy had to take me out of my chair because I was possibly hurting myself. I had red marksContinue reading “Chairman”

The nice thing about tummy time is that I can play with my doggies at the same level. It is much easier for me talk to them like this when I can see them eye to eye. It think it is easier for them too. This i what I look like from their point ofContinue reading “Eye to eye with my doggy”

I don’t like to brag, but did I mention that I participated in the long jump at the Tokyo Olympics? It probably wasn’t televised because it is a fairly unknown division of under 4-month-old athletes. I did pretty well. I didn’t beat my all-time record, but I did have the best results in my class.Continue reading “Tokyo Olympics: Long Jump”

The photos from my 100th Day photo shoot are in. And I gotta say, they look GREAT!

I was playing with Daddy and he decided to mix things up a bit and played with me upside down. I don’t me that he dangled me upside down by my feet, (although that does sound like something I would like). I mean that he played with me from my head side. It was fun!…untilContinue reading “Upside down”

One of my two favorite places to be.

I’m still trying to give Mommy and Daddy time to eat dinner together, but like I mentioned before, sometimes I don’t want to be left on my mat alone. I want to be a part of the conversation. But as you can see, I’m not always interested in the conversation and just want to playContinue reading “Seat at the dinner table”

My ball is my new favorite toy! Actually, at the moment it is my thing that I have that would classified as a toy. In any case, it is what I love to play with the most! I like to reach for it, grab it, hold it, lick it, chew it, drop it, and startContinue reading “Having a ball!”

Tummy time can be tough at times. It thought I was getting the hang of it, and then everything just kind of went sideways. I guess I have to keep practicing.

My actions have been slightly more aggressive/violent/dangerous than before. When I swing my arms, I now do so with much more force. It can be quite dangerous. I really should be more careful about them. Mommy and Daddy are not only worried that I might hurt someone else, but they are worried that I mightContinue reading “Arm swings”

My sea otter friend is so great. He plays music for me and keeps me company. Sure, sometimes he hits me in the head but it is only after I hit him first. I like him so much that I give him big slobbery kisses all the time.

The couch is pretty comfy sometimes. It’s a nice place to sit back and relax. When I spend too much time on my mat, my back gets really hot and sweaty, and then I get uncomfortable. I don’t get as hot when I am on the couch with Mommy or Daddy. Sometimes I like theContinue reading “Couch”

I’m getting better at sleeping in my crib, but I still prefer this sometimes.

As you know by now, I’m a very active baby boy. I’m always moving. This is usually a good thing, but sometimes I shouldn’t be active, like just before bedtime. It is not my fault. I can’t control how sleepy or active I feel at any moment during the day. Mommy and Daddy try toContinue reading “Pre-bedtime activity”

I usually have an antenna in my hair that Mommy and Daddy think is very cute and cool. It adds character. But sometimes while playing with blankets and towels my hair gets pushed down. The result is a calm flat hairstyle. Not too bad, but I prefer my antenna.

I have this weird habit of being very energetic and active right before bedtime. I should be relaxing and getting ready for bed, but instead I’m all smiles and wanting to play. Mommy and Daddy want to go to bed at a decent time, but they can’t resist my charm. (This is how I delayContinue reading “Bedtime smiles”

Just us relaxing on the couch on a lazy Sunday. So nice just to be together!

Sometimes Daddy and Mommy can’t tell if I’m happy or sad when they play with me. To tell you the truth, I’m not really sure myself. What do you think?

Look at my cute outfit. Earth tones seem to work for me.
