Super Fun Sunday

Grace's birthday party was great! I played with everyone, even Uncle Jason!

The car ride was relaxing both to the party and back. Hanging out with my family all day made me tired, so I slept well.

My favorite part is hard to say. One of the highlights was when Daddy said I liked kisses being blown at me, then I spit up at him. Gramma laughed. I also liked when Gramma showed me the baby in the mirror. I spit up at him too! To my surprise, he spit back! In fact it seemed like he did it at the exact same time! He is very very sneaky.

Pictures!
Me and the birthday girl. Isn't my outfit cool?

I liked it a lot. It was a hit with the ladies.

Grace got some clothes for her birthday. Not my idea of fun, but she loved them. She also got some baby dolls, but I think I am cuter!

Everyone said I was getting so big. Maybe I am...maybe everyone else is just getting smaller!





Personally I think Justin is the one getting big. He cut his hair (good move) and then spiked it (uh, no comment). When he was little he looked a lot like me.

Does that mean I will get hair some day?

Love to everyone!

Good Saturday

Yesterday was pretty good. Spent the day relaxing, except for a quick run to the store. Most of the day was planning for Sunday's visit to Aunt Amy & Uncle Gary's house.

The visit was questionable for awhile as Poppa K got stuck in Chicago on his way back from Germany or Italy or someplace far away. But the trip is on!

So I have to go get ready!

Happy Birthday Cousin Grace! #6

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE! I will see you tomorrow. In case people forgot who Grace was, here we are:

Can't say I did much on Friday. Just stayed home with Mommy. Rested up for the big weekend. COOL! Car rides and good stuff!

I did not sleep much...getting too excited.

Okay, so Mommy got a shot of me sleeping. I was a little tired after complaining that Hobbes was going to ride in the stroller but I wasn't.

Almost Rolling Over

I'm gonna get there soon! I can only rock back and forth, but I am getting close. Wednesday night (well actually Thursday morning) my crying woke up Mommy. She had to go downstairs to see what was going on because Daddy did not wake up to my screams. He must have been tired. We both made him feel bad. (Daddy note - Perhaps 2 Advil PM is one too many.)

Picture of the Day:
See how I can raise myself up on one side! Cool!

Um, blogger issues!

Quick before it goes down again!

This is at the park on Sunday. Where's my hat?

I look cute in stripes, no?

It was quite hot, so not many animals to see. I did see a horse, but we didn't a picture of it. I guess it was shy like Gramma K!

Gramma Maggie, aka Mi Abuela, is holding me in this photo.




Me and mi abuela. I am such a ham for the camera!



And speaking of ham. I love looking at myself in the mirror, so Mommy & Daddy had to get a picture.

Well, I am not going to press my luck anymore today. This is the 4th attempt today to post!

Love to everyone!

Pictures

Hello! Think today will be a short and sweet (like me!) picture and comment day. Yesterday was uneventful. Padres win!


Here I am on my Sunday walk in the park. We didn't stay long because it was HOT HOT HOT!

I look pretty good in a floppy hat!


Unlike other people (Mommy & Daddy) I enjoy being out in this weather for a little while. I know, weird kid.



Stupid blogger program. Won't upload another picture!!!! Why! Don't know. Someone call
TECH SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
Matthew

Can't Express My True Feelings

Well yesterday I broke into my screaming fit around 7pm or so. Typical of me. I get very cranky, and when I scream I get really hot. This in turn causes Daddy to get all hot.

One of the few things that soothe me is going into the backyard. I enjoy the heat (in moderation). Daddy of course does not, so he melts.

The day before that I was awake for most of it. Which worked out nicely for the night sleeping, but it made Mommy really tired. Hopefully soon I will be able to tell everyone exactly what is wrong. But for now, I scream and trust that Mommy & Daddy will stumble upon the issues.

Now, pictures! Okay, maybe not! The blog is having issues.

Hmm, Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

(note - Daddy is weird!)

Abuela Time!

So the fun that Mommy & Daddy promised me was a day with mi abuela! We didn' t get to spend much time at the park because it was way, way too hot.

I saw horses for the first time though. They were pretty neat. Daddy said he would post some pictures tomorrow. Camera batteries dead. Oops.

I had the hiccups for most of the day. They bother abuela and Mommy more than they bother me. I am still not sure what they are.

I had an accident while getting my diaper changed by mi abuela. Let's just say that even though she needed to change my diaper, I wasn't quite done peeing yet. Lo siento!

Little Fireball

Maybe this will become my nickname? Daddy says I am way to hot too handle all day on a hot day. We went out to the store at like 1pm. When we left it was 99, by the time we got back (2pm) it was 108!

What Daddy means is that he gets too hot holding me all day. But, I don't want to be put down, so he has a decision to make!

He chose wisely, but sweated most of the day. Rumor has it I am going to have a fun day tomorrow. Cool!

Daddy hasn't been himself today, but he says all will be better soon.

Weathermen Lie!

It's hot. It's like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't stand this heat. (Bonus kisses to the person who knows the movie this is from).

Anyway, it's another scorcher here in the valley. Otherwise known as the surface of the sun.

This weekend...more of the same! Yikes. What happened to the cooling trend?

Friday was a pretty good day. Daddy is discovering that I like alot of games, but only for a few minutes, then I get bored.Man, I am one goofy dude!

Photogenic?

Hmm, not recently. It must be the weather, or maybe the Padres. Either way, recent pictures are all sub-par. Aunt Amy says that only approved pictures should be publicly displayed. I actually like this one because it displays my true feelings for the Padres right now.

This picture is a little better.
PS - I don't like Daddy's singing too much. I prefer him to hum along to a song that I can hear. He also is pretty bad when it comes to remembering lyrics, so he makes them up. He thinks I don't know, but I do.

Every Day The Same?

I am starting to get confused about which day it is. They all seem the same. It's hot. I'm cranky. I sleep. I eat. I sleep. I have some fun. I get cranky. I eat. I sleep. Daddy comes home. I play. I get cranky. I eat. I sleep. Daddy doesn't sleep well. ugh.

Yesterday was a little different because mi abuela came over for a little bit. So that was nice.

She made me laugh out loud. It was really cute if I don't say so myself.

The weather is getting better, so maybe this weekend will be better.

Early Morning Post

Hello everyone! Is anyone else up except me & Daddy?

I am having better days, but then tougher nights. I just don't want to sleep. I am tired, but don't want to close my eyes. This is making Daddy super tired.

At least the Padres are winning. Nothing much happened today. Mommy & Daddy like my many faces. I am trying to copy Daddy's, but it's not working.

Okay, back to sleep (for a little bit).

PS - This was supposed to be posted early this morning, but I had a rough night so Daddy overslept for work. Woops!

Tough Day

Daddy says the weather here reminds him of New York in summer. Ugh.

Even with the A/C, it was uncomfortable. It was so humid!

It made for a long day. And after Daddy got home, it seemed even longer. As soon as he got home I ate and then Daddy rocked me to sleep. Mommy was taking a deserved break upstairs (checking email, etc...) then she came down to find me asleep! She didn't want that. Her idea was to keep me up longer, so I can sleep at night. So, Daddy woke me up and we played some face games. Daddy has a silly face.

Around 9, my normal bed time, I got sleepy and Daddy put me in the crib. But I didn't stay asleep for longer than 10 minutes. I kept waking up, Daddy would wait until I started screaming (just to make sure), then rock me to sleep. This was the routine for Daddy & me for the next 2 hours.

I had fun. Daddy not so much. Sorry Daddy!
But how can anyone be mad at this face?

Bad Daddy!

Okay, so Daddy had a rough night of sleep on Saturday. Not my fault! I slept pretty good. Anyway, Sunday morning while Mommy showered, Daddy was watching me. I was a little cranky because I don't enjoy being upstairs as much as I like downstairs.

Daddy decided to give me some tummy time. I was cool with that. He put me on the bobby pillow and let me do my thing. What he forgot was that he shouldn't close his eyes, not even for a minute. I flipped myself over the pillow and went face down into Daddy's leg. I screamed and cried like never before. Daddy never wants to hear that sound again. I think I was surprised more than hurt, and Daddy could not find anything wrong with me. Daddy felt super bad.

The rest of the day was pretty peaceful. We went shopping at Target and Ralphs, bought some stuff. Totally forgot one of the items we needed. (Silly parents.)

Until tomorrow!

Yucky Day

I was pretty cranky again today. It must be the weather (or maybe the Padres!).

Anyway, it was as hot as they promised, so we stayed inside. Around 3 I got cranky and Daddy started feeling sick, so we took a nap. It worked too. Daddy felt better, and I was less cranky!

Not much else to report. Just some pictures:
I am not thrilled with either this picture nor the hat. It has Winnie The Pooh on it, and Mommy & Daddy says it's cute, but I am waiting for the girls to comment.

Another example of the sleep in any position disease that I have!

Cranky Day

I was a pain in the butt on Friday. I don't know why, but I wore Mommy out. When Daddy got home I behaved a little better. Maybe it's the weather (107 today).

Daddy & I watched the Padre game until I fell asleep. We were losing. Then I woke up and we were tied, then losing. Then I fell asleep again, and woke up to us winning. Then Trevor blew it. I went to bed cranky. I couldn't even stay up to see what happens. It was depressing seeing Trevor leave a game without the ball in is glove and the opposing team losing.

I thought I was going to sleep soundly, then the Padres stormed back! Crazy! Then the Braves score, argh! Then the Padres scored! Yes! Then the horrible 11th. Why come back that many times just to lose like that?

So it is going to be super hot this weekend, so we are going to do some cleaning indoors. Fun!?

Mommy & Daddy say I am becoming quite the character. What does that mean?

Post #50!!

Wow. Do I really have that much to say?

Quite the lazy week around our house. It is just too darn hot, and it is rumored to go HOTTER this weekend. Highs around 110! SO we have to watch our power usage.

At least baseball is back, which is a nice distraction from the heat, the fires outside LA, and of course the big deal going on in Israel/Lebanon.

Yesterday I spent some quality time on my tummy. I am still not getting anywhere, but I can hold my head up a little longer. I should be moving soon. After getting tired of that I was flipped on my back and this giant plastic thing was put over me. I didn't know what to make of it, so I kicked. I hit some big blue button and all of sudden songs and movement. Cool!
So, sometimes when I get tired, I can sleep anywhere (Uncle Jason Disease!)

Hmm, no post this morning?

Not sure what happened this morning to my post. I submitted it, but then it vanished or something. I guess even in cyberspace, your morning paper can get stolen.

Anyway, I have no idea what I wrote. There was nothing earth shattering as yesterday was pretty boring. It was awful hot again yesterday. Daddy is spending some money on the A/C...but it is totally worth it.

Mommy & I relaxed, watched some birds feed on our birdfeeder outside. The cats like that!

I guess some days are just more exciting than others!

Doctor Not Fun!

So, that didn't go so well. And my english is not that good yet, but I am pretty sure that in 2 months I have to do this again. :(

At first I thought everything was going to be just fine. Afterall, how could a place that is painted with a wonderful animal mural (still being painted in fact...watched the lady paint a butterfly) and has an animatronic Oscar the Grouch popping up from his garbage can be bad?

We hung out there for a little while, then they called my name. I guess I am famous! We went into room number 7. My lucky number (born on the 7th, weighed 7 lbs 7 oz). But today, not so lucky.

First I had to get naked in order to be weighed. The good news is that I am now 12 lbs 12 oz, and I am a little of 22 inches tall. That is about where the fun ended.

Next thing I knew the DOCTOR was saying something about shots and something else about testicles! WHAT?!

The testicles are okay(no shot required there!), but the doctor wanted Mommy & Daddy to know that baby testicles have alot of water in them (?!) so the appearance is normal, but should look different by the next visit.

Then he left. I thought I was clear. I thought maybe "shots" is not what it sounds like. Then Nurse Ratched waltzed in with 4 needles. 2 in each leg. SUPER UPSET!

I then went home and crashed for an hour, but then woke up SUPER CRANKY. My schedule is all off now. Great.

Gramma K did send some pictures, so here is Mommy's favorite:

Put Me In Coach!

Okay, so it's a little big! Maybe by football season!

Monday was very relaxing. I think I was still recovering from my busy Sunday. Mommy said I was a good boy. Daddy says we are going to the Doctor today. I don't remember who that is...I hope it is someone fun!

All I know is that it does mean a car ride! Yeah!

Fun Sunday!

I had a great time yesterday with mi abuela. I spent the whole day with her! She came over to my house and picked me up at 7 am. We went for a walk in the park (needed to get there early before it got hot). The park is near her house in Glendale, so that meant a fun drive first!

When we got there I was super excited. I kept gurgling and looking all around, soaking everything up. I am not sure how long we were there, but I was only happy if we were moving. When we stopped to rest I got bored. Realized yesterday that Daddy forgot to pack my hat, (do I even have a hat?) Anyway, I had sunscreen, but not on my head, so I needed to be shielded from the sun alot.
I thought I was going home after that, but when I woke up from the drive I was at abuela's house. She has cats too! One of them hissed at me...she was jealous. While at the house I discovered a guitar in the house, and LOVED IT. It made me smile and laugh.

Then I got tired, ate a little, had what was described as "atomic poop", and then fell asleep. I woke up at the grocery store, but not my normal one, so that was new.

Finally got home to Mommy & Daddy around 6 or 7 pm!! Mommy & Daddy were sad when I first left, then decided to take advantage and went shopping all around the valley. I am glad I missed that. The driving is cool, but the constant stopping and going in would have frustrated all of us. I got a new outfit, but it is a little big, maybe next month.

I fell asleep around 7:30, and stayed asleep until 2:30 am. What a day!

Quick Sunday Post

I don't have much time to write as mi abuela is coming at any moment to take me to the park.
I can't wait, although I think Mommy & Daddy have mixed emotions about it.

Saturday was a nice relaxing day until dinner time. Then I got cranky and Mommy & Daddy both started feeling a little sick. Scratch off that restaurant!

Oh boy, abuela's here!

Happy Birthday Poppa K!

Today is Poppa K's birthday. I don't know how old he is, but I think it's pretty young considering he is a 3 time grandfather, retired navy, and retired SDSU professor. Seems like he should be like 70!

Daddy says much younger than that. This picture suggests younger too!
I know, not a very good picture. Maybe Gramma K can send Daddy some good pictures from Aunt Amy's birthday party.

Thanks to DE Kobus for visiting the blog and posting. Now, this is Daddy's cousin and his family, so I guess that makes his children my second cousin (but of course, that is what Patti said) and it makes Daddy's cousin my first cousin once removed? Well, according to this website it is.

Anyway just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Poppa K! Love you Poppa!

It's Early

Special early morning posting for Gramma. I was up, so I figured I would post now.

My 2 month birthday was celebrated by a lot of fussing. Daddy was late coming home from work because he had to go to Sam's Club and pick up stuff. He tried their "Click 'N Pull" service. Pretty good, but could be improved he said. The good was that he was able to pick up our regular list of stuff and get out of their in less than 20 minutes.

I was upset because (1) he was late, and (2) this service means I don't get to go shopping. Now, the shopping I can do without, but I do enjoy the car ride. Daddy thought he could make it up to me by driving to the bank and then to Wendy's. He was wrong. I fussed and fussed to let him & Mommy know exactly my feelings on being excluded from the decision.

Then, I got sleepy. I just woke up, had some food, and after posting this going back to bed. All I have is some older pics today. Daddy is having some sort of old guy problem with the camera loading onto the computer.

This is me with Aunt Amy and Cousin Grace last Monday. I think all the hair was mesmorizing me!



Oh, yeah...my new favorite thing is to lie down on the changing table and laugh and the ceiling. It is fun! I can't explain what I see, but I like it. Sometimes when I am fussy, Daddy will take me there.

2 Months Old Today

Practically an old man now. Maybe I should change the title of the blog? Daddy said it is some sort of rite of passage to have embarrassing bath photos, but this is a family blog, so no nudity allowed (whew!)

We don't have anything special planned for tonight, but I may be going to a park tomorrow! If the temperature is not too hot.

Yesterday I played tricks on Mommy & Daddy. Every time they would change my outfit, I would spit up all over myself. Forcing them to change me again. I had more outfit changes than Madonna! It is my way of telling them what I want to wear.

I had some crazy dreams yesterday. I think they were scary since I kept making sad faces and whiny noises. But I don't remember them.

I forgot to thank my great-great Aunt Esther(Gramma K's Aunt) for her card, so THANK YOU!

And yesterday I got a gift in the mail from great Uncle Bill (Daddy's Uncle, Poppa's brother). It is a San Diego Chargers jersey/outfit. It is a little big. Maybe tomorrow I will post a picture of it. I hope Phillip Rivers is still the QB when I grow into it. But, it is very cool!

This is new

I don't know why I do this, but I am starting to throw a fit every night around 7:30 pm. I fuss for about 40 minutes, then fall asleep for the night. Just 2 feedings between then and 6 the next morning.

Daddy thinks it is me throwing a tantrum about going to bed, but who knows. The nights are better, but now I worry Daddy because I sometimes sleep super soundly. He keeps having to check on me. Silly man.

Mi abuela came over for a littlw while yesterday, so that was cool. My Gramma K gave me a blankie, but I haven't taken a picture of it yet (Yo, Daddy, what's up with that?)Like my outfit?

Ahh, Relaxing

It was sure nice to relax yesterday and do nothing. We had no where to go, and no one was coming for a visit. That meant it was just us. It was nice. Daddy was feeling a little sick (allergies?) and Mommy hurt her wrist (unknown). But we just stayed inside and played with the furries!

I didn't get to play because we are still learning about each other, but it was fun watching Daddy play. I had a good day, not cranky at all. I guess the visit to Vail Lake tired me out.

The relaxing ended at about 8 pm when someone in the neighborhood decided to set off fireworks. The noise surprised me, but didn't scare me. It did scare Monique though, and her barking made me cranky.

My newest trick is not a favorite of Mommy & Daddy, but I like it. While being feed I try to roll back & forth to see if Mommy & Daddy can keep the bottle in my mouth.

More pictures tomorrow!

Happy Birthday America!

Today is going to be a relaxing day (I hope). Yesterday was very exciting.

We went to Vail Lake RV Camp near Temecula. It was the longest car ride I ever had! I slept the whole time.
We went to Temecula to see Daddy's family for Aunt Amy's birthday. It was fun. I am not sure if Mommy & Daddy left me there or what, because I didn't see them for long time as I was getting passed around the entire family. Gramma had to set a timer so no one would hog me. I was so popular!

I was a very good boy. I hardly screamed at all. Here are some pictures: This is me with my cousins Grace & Justin.


It was really fun. I love my family.

Happy Birthday Aunt Amy!

Today is Aunt Amy's birthday, and she is old.

Well, everyone is compared to me!

I get to see her today along with all of Daddy's family. Hooray! Seems like more like a gift for me than for her.

Yesterday's post was late because I had a tough night. I got something in my eye, and it made it all yucky and crusty. GROSS!

But by the evening, it was all better and mi abuela came over for a visit. Then to top off the day, I had the best night's sleep ever!

Must have been dreaming about today!

Yardwork

That's what we did Saturday morning. Okay, it was just Daddy, but we watched. It was hot. He did the work at 9:30, but the temperature was already 93. It got up to 110!

We took a drive to Mommy's favorite Thai place to pick up some food. I love the car!

Most of the day was just kickin' back & relaxing. Mommy & Daddy did some stuff around the house.

This post if quite late, I will explain tomorrow! Holy cow do I look fat or what?!

Thanks Adelphia

This is going to be a very short post as the cable modem keeps going out. Gee, thanks Adelphia!

It has been so hot here that we just can't do anything but hang out inside. The cable problem started last night while Daddy & I were watching the Padre game on MLB.

Of course it happened in the bottom of the 9th. Then Daddy turned on ESPN, but right as they were doing the Padre highlight...BOOP...off goes cable.

We didn't know that the Padres won until 3:14 am, when the cable came back on.

Silly cable company. Today is going to be another relaxing day, with temps in the 107 range again.

Thank goodness for A/C and Netflix!
