Short Post


NO, not my nickname. Although I am beginning to get plenty.
Little Man, Pain in the ass, Crank, and Guapo.

Just a little note to say hello. I was cranky most of yesterday. Mommy wasn't pleased.

Because of my noise during cranky times, Mommy & Daddy got to watch only 1 show yesterday on TIVO. One show, one hour...and it took them nearly 3 hours to watch it.

Oops. It was not my fault...oh, wait, yes, yes it was.

Go Padres. Wild Card? Oh, boy.

And The Doctor Said...


Nothing. The white dots are nothing. No teeth, no cysts, no thrush, no problem.

Hmm. But I did gain another pound.

Speaking of weight, did everybody see the story of the baby weighing in at 14 pounds at birth! Bizarre. Check it here .

Not much else going on here. I was cranky while getting ready for the doctor, but many people are. Oh, yeah, I also found a new song

"Wouldn't It Be Nice" by The Beach Boys. I smiled and laughed the moment Daddy played it. I react to certain songs very strongly. I am an odd boy.

Oh, and I would like to say hello to my Chinese friend, and wish her good luck at college.

Exciting Day?

First of all, another poor night of sleep for our house. I wish I knew why I can't always look like this:
But then early yesterday morning Mommy made a discovery. I have little tiny white spots on my gums! Is it teeth? Or is it a cyst? Who knows? Today I go to the doctor to find out (BOO!)

The day was pretty good. I don't think I was too bad, until Daddy came home from work. Then while he was talking to Gramma K, I got cranky.

But Daddy won by playing "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley. That got me calm. Then he played some Billy Joel "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel) and that was just unfair.
(Don't I look relaxed?)

Normal Sunday I Suppose


Shocked? Me too. I was totally cranky in the morning, but the day got better. I think I crawled a little bit, but it was hard to tell. But, I say yes, my first forward movements.

The day seemed very long, but I guess that is a good thing.

Daddy did not get a chance to call Gramma, but he promises he will today.

Cranky Night

So yesterday was pretty good. Mommy wasn't feeling great, so I spent most of the day with Daddy. I slept a lot, so the warning signs were there. We watched the Charger game. It was quite odd, but interesting.

Then the crank monster appeared. It was a rough night. I just wish I could get my point across!

What's new World?

Just wanted to say hi!
Yesterday was a better day. I wasn't as cranky. Mommy did hurt her wrist though, so I am going to try and be nice.
I slept on my face some more. Watched the Dodgers finally lose...man what a long game. What was worse was Vin Scully updating on how many total pitches were thrown (485.)

Not sure what big plans are in store. Daddy may be working Sunday...so who knows.
Well I just finished breakfast and I am feeling sleepy, so off to a nap.

Crank!


That was me yesterday. I was pretty bad for Mommy. I wish I could say why, but I am not sure.

By the time Daddy got home, I was all cranked out, and basically ate & went to sleep. On my face of course, so Daddy can't relax.

I am gearing up for football. Daddy is teaching me all the team names. For some reason the name Cincinnati makes me smirk.

Hope today is better.

SWEEP LA! SWEEP LA!

That's right Dodger fans, that is my butt. Pucker up!

Okay, the Padres are still a game behind, and have plenty of work to do to pass the Dodgers on the way to the pennant...but this feels SOOOO good.

Anyway, this is my favorite sleeping position, believe it or not. The day was pretty good. No new skills to report. I am working on the razzberry, but right now it is just saliva.

Stay blogged!

Wednesday, August 23, 2006

Quick

Not much to report from North Hills. It was hot again. Like 108 or something silly like that.

The day was a pretty good day. Yes, there were stretches of extreme crankiness, but not too bad. I have no pictures today as the web site is having some issues.

Yesterday's post was done like 6:30 in the morning, yet didn't appear until the evening. I have Daddy looking into it.

Well, the Padres won again, so that was great!

Until we blog again.

Love to all!

Pretty Good Day, For A Monday

This is my excited face!

I don't remember what made me hyper, but you can tell I really liked it.

Maybe it was Gramma K's funny play on words, nah that can't be it.

Maybe it was more Baby Mozart.

Maybe it was (daddy note- "God forbid") the "Hamster Dance" video on google.

Maybe it was a Padre victory of the Dodgers. Yes! Go Padres. Beat LA! Beat LA!

Or maybe I was just excited to spend the day with Mommy.

I may never tell.

New Likes


The first of my new likes to report is that I like to hold my own bottle, thank you very much. Mommy & Daddy won't let me yet by myself though. :(

The second new like is the Baby Einstein videos. We have the Baby Noah and Baby Mozart at home. I love the Mozart one. Daddy was surprised how much I reacted to it. I can't wait to see more.

So yesterday I spent part of the day with mi abuela while Mommy & Daddy went shopping. Daddy needed new glasses.

We had a good time. This was my first visit to abuela's since I learned to turn over. I kept her on her toes!

On the drive home I did not sleep! Okay, maybe at the very end, but I tried to stay awake.

I was quite cranky by the end of the night, and fought Daddy on my bedtime. Guess who won?

Sunday, August 20, 2006

Hello Sunday

Went shopping yesterday. I like it for a little while, but if we talk too long, I get cranky.

Other than that, yesterday was nice and relaxed. Oh, yeah, I did try something new yesterday. Mi abuela bought me a bouncer-jumper thingy...but I am still a little too small. See?
















Oh, well. Soon enough.

Saturday, August 19, 2006

Sorry

NO post yesterday because Daddy was too busy to help. It was his last day at his job. He was a little sad, but happy for a new opportunity.

What that had to do with me not posting? No idea.

I saw mi abuela yesterday for a while. That was cool. I am sleeping a little bit better at night now. Sleeping on my face, but sleeping.
This is me laughing at Daddy lip synching. He is so silly.

Look What I Can Do!



Yup. I finally did it. I rolled over.












These pictures were taken during the day, but this is how Daddy found me at 2 am. He freaked! And not in a good way. Now he and Mommy are nervous, because when they put me in the crib to sleep, my first move is to roll over on my side, then less than 5 minutes later...whoomp, on my face.
Technically I am on the side of my head, but to Daddy, it looks like I am on my face. Again, with the freaking.

I blame the Padres. Let's not talk about them, okay?

So I will let you know how much sleep Daddy actually gets tonight. He better, he needs it.

NOTE - I had to turn on the comment verification thingy. I know it is annoying, but without it I was getting spammed via the blog. I guess it is called splog (or at least it should...someone trademark it for me!) At any rate, it had to stop. Sorry to the "real" commenters.

Padres Stink Like Poop


I believe this face says it all. Hey look behind me, it's ITUNES. I was trying to find some more songs I like. If Aunt Amy is adding these songs to a play list, she will need to add
Still by Ben Folds
Gracie by Ben Folds
Still Fighting It by Ben Folds

Hmm, I think Daddy likes this Ben Folds guy!

At any rate, the Padres make me cranky. I think I can get a runner in from 3rd with less than 2 outs, yet we seem to strand them. Okay, I confess, Daddy typed that last part. I just know that when they lose, he is cranky, which makes me cranky.

Gramma & Poppa K have vanished into the American version of the outback apparently.

Uncle Jason started a new job. Yeah!

Aunt Amy and cousin Justin got new phones! Daddy did too!

Where's mine?

Hair inspired by Justin Jett Pickard. Look very closely to see the spikes!

Technical Difficulties

So Mommy finally did what Daddy could not...capture me talking and laughing on film.

However, technical difficulties prevent me from airing this video at this time. Hopefully Daddy figures it out soon. It was cool.

Of course, after they finally got it on film, I decided to talk all night. They don't seem to understand me though. They say it sounds like "Ooh" "Coo". Whatever, I am really saying "Hey, isn't that bird cool?"

I was a pretty good boy yesterday. I didn't want to go to sleep though, so I fussed. Daddy played some music, and that helped, but didn't make me sleep. I needed a good vomit first...then I was ready.

NO new pictures to post. I think I will post a picture when the Padres score again!

Nothin


I can't remember a single thing that I did on Sunday. Not one. What does that mean?

(a) I did nothing. A good possibility.
(b) Daddy was a little sick on Sunday, so he can't help me remember much. Likely.
(c) I was up early this morning so my days are mixing together. Hmm?

Answer: All of the above. The only thing I can recall is Daddy making me laugh, then grabbing the camera, then I stopped. Silly Daddy.

Sunday, August 13, 2006

Hmm, football

So yesterday I got my first real dose of football. We have the NFL network (for the time being, Daddy is not happy that Time Warner says it is going away) and they showed a bunch of preseason games yesterday. I stayed up with Daddy and watched the Chargers. They looked good.

We also went shopping yesterday to Sam's Club. The drive didn't make me very sleepy, so Daddy had to carry me around the store. There were so many different things there. Some people even came up to me to tell me how cute I am. Like I don't already know.

Not sure what the plan is today. Daddy doesn't seem to be feeling well, so we shall see. When I turn on the TV, more football. Cool.

Saturday, August 12, 2006

What! Dodgers in 1st!

Oh no! Silly Padres.

So, I have a new song to add.

We're Going To Be Friends by Jack Johnson

It's nice to see someone else figured out how to post comments! Another relatively quiet day. The biggest news is that Mommy & I talk to each other now. I try to copy the sound she makes. Daddy tried to film it, but I didn't want to do it anymore.

Planning on a quiet weekend, so let's hope that's the case.

Stuck in a rut

I suppose that is what you call what is happening to me right now. Everyday is pretty much the same.

The only news yesterday was that I ate a little more than normal. Wow, how boring. Maybe today I will do something blog worthy. Or maybe I am just waiting for a larger audience.

Oh, I just remember that Daddy played a song for me that I liked. 2 actually.

Cole's Song by Julian Lennon
Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) by John Lennon

They were nice, and they calmed me down when I was fussy.What's with all the drool recently?

Happily Spitting Up

Spitting up is fun (at least until it comes out my nose!).

Yesterday I got Daddy really good. Not quite as good as when Daddy got Poppa back when he was a child. But it was still funny. After spitting up, I laughed at him. Right down the neck...and lots of it.

The day was relatively boring, so that is good I guess.

Email Pictures

Well yesterday was email a picture day, and both Gramma and Abuela sent me pictures. Cool!


Here I am on Sunday at Abuela's house. I was sleepy! Of course, this was only after an hour of fussing. Also, I wouldn't let anyone sit and hold me. IF you wanted to hold me, then we must be standing and walking around.

I am a curious child. I must know what else is out there!





Speaking of curious. Here I am at Grace's birthday party. I am completely amazed at my Uncle Gary. Maybe it is because we share the same hairline, and I have more hair!

I don't remember what I was thinking, but I am willing to accept comments from the blog universe.

Like a caption contest!




I forgot to mention that yesterday was Gramma & Poppa's wedding anniversary. Oops! Hope they had a good day. Maybe next time Gramma can explain what an anniversary is. Daddy's explanation of "it's like a birthday of two people" makes no sense.

Love to everyone!

Not A Good Day

Yesterday I had to go to the Doctor. It turned out to not be serious, but Mommy & Daddy were worried enough.

After Daddy left for work, Mommy & me slept for awhile. When I woke up, I needed to be changed. That's when Mommy noticed the red spots on my face, neck & chest. They didn't seem to bother me, but she made the call to Daddy, and he came home.

The doctor was pretty cool this time (no shots!) He said that the rash I have is not serious. Just need some lotion and some time. He made me laugh, he is funny looking. He also said that I obviously get enough to eat (was that a crack at my weight?) I weighed in at 14 lbs. HEFTY HEFTY HEFTY!

He said I was a happy and active baby. I think Mommy & Daddy knew that already.

So here is my 3 month picture. This was after we came back from the doctor. Daddy stayed home for the rest of the day.

I was cranky, but not too bad.













This is my outfit from my Sunday adventures.

In response to questions about my music likes. I would like to list my current play list on Daddy's ipod.

Bad Day by Daniel Powter
Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Na Na Na (Dulce Nina) by Kumbia Kings
Far Way by Nickelback
Savin' Me by Nickelback
Crazy by Gnarls Barkley (love that one)
I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic! At The Disco
Pump It by Black Eyed Peas

I have some others that I like listening to 30 seconds of, but not the whole thing. I may list those tomorrow.

Love to everyone!

3 Months Old Today!

Woo hoo! I don't know about anyone else, but man is time flying.

Mommy & Daddy say some days are better than others! But I love them all, even the bad ones have good moments.

Yesterday was pretty exciting. I spent the day with mi abuela. We drove around and saw some people. It was cool. I was glad the weather was too. I came home pretty late and then went right to sleep.

Mommy & Daddy did some shopping. I guess it is easier without me. :(
Oh well, plenty of time for shopping later.

I will post a picture tomorrow of what I look like at 3 months. But today a quick look back to how I used to look:This is me at 2 days old.

Short One

Daddy had to go to work early this morning. Some kind of power or server issue. I have no idea what he is talking about. And, I don't care. I need to get ready to go over to mi abuela's house!

Saturday was quite calm. Except for Monique going to the groomer. Now she looks really little. I would post a picture, but Monique is embarrassed by her haircut...so I won't.

Yeah padres...about time. Is it time for football yet?

Riddle Me This Batman


Heath Ledger as the Joker? 2 questions- who is Heath Ledger? AND, who is the Joker?

Friday was okay, until the evening. THEN...the sleepy monster and I had our best fight yet. I didn't fall asleep until 10:30!!!!
Oh, I love certain types of music. Daddy plays various songs to see my reaction.

I guess it is cute.

Friday, August 04, 2006

G'day

Don't ask. I don't know why.

So yesterday was a pretty good day. The night was a little tough, but not terrible. Daddy is still trying to make me laugh, but I am not cooperating.

I spent most of yesterday trying to convince Mommy to take me shopping this weekend. I will let you know if I did it.

So here is the photo I promised:
Yah! I can fall asleep anywhere!

Thursday, August 03, 2006

Pukey


Yesterday was puke day. Mommy says everyday is puke day, but yesterday was worse than normal. I wasn't sick, just felt like spitting up all over Daddy. It was fun. It was the great projectile type.

I blame Daddy. He was making me laugh. Mommy & Daddy try to capture it on film, but I won't perform without a contract!

Mommy took a great picture of me falling asleep, but Daddy is a doofus, and didn't upload it. So, tomorrow then.

:(

Fight The Sleep Monster!

So sleeping may be cool and all, but falling asleep is for the birds. Oh, we get daily visits from the neighborhood birds in our backyard. The kitties talk to them. It's funny.

Like I was saying, I don't like falling asleep. I fight the sleep monster. I rarely win, but I give him a good fight. The sleep monster turns me into a hairy beast:
Just kidding! Isn't Monique pretty?

As I fall asleep, I kick and thrash about. Yesterday I got Daddy pretty good in the chin with my head. I didn't cry, he was surprised.

I am still not crawling, and it is upsetting. I feel like I can do it, but I just don't get anywhere. I almost have the turn over thing figured out. I bet by next week I will have done it. This prospect doesn't thrill Mommy & Daddy. Something about sleeping on my back.

Here I am losing the fight against the sleepy monster:

Ah, break in the heat


Don't get me wrong, it's still warm. But at least it is tolerable.

Mi abuela came over yesterday for a little bit. That was cool. I discovered that I love keys. I am amazed by them. They are cool!
