Having Fun

What personality I have!
I love spending my days with Mommy! Soon Daddy will return to work at night so he can be home during the day too! Cool!
Padres win! But those blue bums (Dodgers) keep winning too....hmmm. This weekend will be interesting. Speaking of, I hear Mommy & Daddy discussing a car ride again. I can't wait to see where....

Quick Note

Not much to report. I have been feeling a little congested, but still a pretty happy baby!

I wish I could remember more about Wednesday, but I can't. I ate carrots. I think it is the least favorite of the foods I have tried so far.

Oh well.

TiVo Noooooooooooo

TiVo died. And it took our shows with it! Bad TiVo! Mommy & Daddy are very upset with you. Oh well, at least the Padres won again! Yes!The only other excitement of the day was that I woke up at 4 am and decided to not go back to sleep. I was a bit cranky. Oh well, Mommy & Daddy still love me.

Isn't this a cute picture of Calvin?

Oh Saintly Day

Aren't I saintly? Okay, maybe angelic.
Today was a pretty good day. I slept very well after spending Sunday with mi abuela. Daddy was happy about that. I only woke up one time. And then it was just to get a quick bite to eat, then back to bed until after Daddy went to work. Cool!

The day was pretty good. Mommy & I have a good time communicating in spit bubbles. Mommy makes me laugh when she does it. I had some bananas for dinner. I love food!

I was a little cranky falling asleep, but then I saw that the Saints won the football game, and the Padres won their baseball game, so all was right with the world. Oh yeah, then Daddy gave me more food. Then I fell asleep, and he took the picture.

Here's another one from Sunday too!

Carousel Fun

Sunday was awesome. Abuela took me on my first carousel ride! Or Merry-Go-Round (which is it anyway?)

The ride was really fun. I like going up and down round and round. Every time the horse would go down I would close my eyes. It was cool. We also went to the American Heritage Musuem that was nearby.

I think I really like musuems! At the musuem I acted for the camera. I am such a ham!

Later on we went to abuela's casa and I showed her how I am a big boy and can hold my own bottle.

Super Trevor!

Way to go Hoffy! We love you!

Oh So Close!

How can someone as tall as Chris Young (6' 10") still come up short?

By allowing a hit in the 9th to break up a no hitter. RATS! I blame Daddy who was following the game online, noticed the no hitter and turned to ESPN, who then went to the Padre game. So I guess I blame ESPN.

Daddy was being camera shy. Can you believe it?

I didn't get a chance to post a blog about Thursday because no one seems to remember what happened. Daddy being sick has created some sort of time warp. Yesterday we didn't do much as a family. Just stayed at home, trying to get Daddy better before he gets us sick. This will be the same plan for today too.

Back to my cartoons!

Sick Daddy

This picture has nothing to do with Daddy feeling icky, but it's all I got.

Hope Daddy doesn't get me sick!

Another rough night (Padres lose) and I decide to stay up late. Much to the delight of Daddy.

What can I say? I want what i want.


Love to all!

Super Cranky Pants

Even a Padre win and a Dodger loss is not enough to keep the Crank monster away. Last night was the first time in awhile that I simply refused to sleep. Finally Daddy had enough and just put me in the crib. He figured if I was going to cry, he wasn't going to get any more frustrated than he was.
But I showed him. I really started to wail. Then he had to pick me up or risk waking Mommy up. So he did. I stayed up WAY past my bedtime. Normally I go to bed at 8, latest 9. Tuesday night it was Wednesday morning (like 12:15 am!)

Speechless

At least I saw some history. Nah, who I am kidding. That stunk like a day old diaper. I just don't know what to say. So let's just look at some pictures. (For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, I am talking about the ugly Padres loss to the Dodgers. The hated Dodgers)

I'm Back

This weekend was a bit of blur to me. First thing I must say is that Daddy should learn how to blog. He was SOOOO boring.

Saturday was okay. I was recovering still, but the Padres won, so that was SUPER COOL! Oh yeah, SU won too. I try to not sound shocked, but I am.

I got some pictures from Castaic Lake from Gramma. Here are 2 of my favorites.

Poppa is funny!

What the heck is Daddy looking at?

GO PADRES! FIRST PLACE PADRES!

Keep 'em there Jake!











Daddy is making me laugh. He thinks it is because he is tickling me. But really it is his face. He is really funny looking.


That weekend was fun. Can't wait to do it again.








I didn't post on Sunday as Daddy said because I was up early to go on a trip with mi abuela. We went to Santa Barbara. I had fun. My favorite part was the visit to the Spanish Mission. I thought everything was awesome. I just stared and stared.


This exhibit on Candle Making amazed me. I don't know why, but it did.

Most of the exhibits did.










I just kept pointing at all the stuff behind the glass. Making my noises to show how much I know about early California history.

It was a fun time!

I wasn't very cranky at all.

Until I got home. Then Daddy told me the great news about the Padres, then fantastic Charger news...then he revealed how poorly I did in my picks.

CRANKY TIME! He made me do it on Friday & Saturday. I wasn't feeling well. It's all Daddy's fault (I am getting used to saying that!)

Until tomorrow, Love to EVERYONE.

EDITORS NOTE - TODAY'S BLOG IS WRITTEN BY DADDY

Hello everyone. I am writing today because Matthew isn't feeling well today. The picture above is one of the few happy moments of Friday. His mother and I are not sure if it is related to getting the shots, but I read that it is quite common for an infant to be lethargic after getting shots. He ate fine today, just not quite as often.

He also slept ALOT today. He has been given some children's tylenol per doctor's instructions. I am sure Saturday will bring the happy Matthew that he typically is. He will report on his day as scheduled on Sunday.

Daddy

PS - Here is a picture we did manage to get of him today in another brief happy moment with his new walker. He can't walk, but he enjoys standing.
PPS - Maybe the Padres caught the same lethargy.

No Fun Thursday

I thought maybe looking at the world differently would make Thursday better...but no.

So I had to go to the DOCTOR on Thursday. NOT COOL! I got more shots! NOT COOL! I cried. I did get some new measurements.
Weight = 16 lbs 4 oz
Length = 24"
Head = 43 cm (I take after Poppa!)

After the stupid doctor we went to Mommy's Uncle Bruce's house for his birthday. I think I was overwhelmed by the shots and so many new faces. Most were not new, I just haven't seen them in over 2 months. I was very cranky. I felt bad. Everyone wanted to say hello and hold me, but I just wanted my Daddy.

That crankiness spilled over to Friday, which is why this post is happening Friday night. To Confuse people!

I will tell people why tomorrow.

That's Better

Way to go Padres! Keep it going.

Okay, so Wednesday came and went and nothing happened. I could have sworn Mommy & Daddy said something was going on...but I guess not. I wonder what they are up to?

I know something is definately on for tomorrow, but I am still not sure...but I am not getting a good feeling about it.
Oh, well. I am pretty sure I can't stop it from happening. Until the next post you all do what Eddie Izzard (no Daddy didn't hear nor could he verify) says and "You Kids...You Kids Stay Cool"

Argh....Linebrink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what to say....missed opportunity.

Tuesday was an okay day. I wasn't relaxed, but not full cranky mode either. I keep hearing Mommy and Daddy talking about something on Wednesday and something else on Thursday, but I am not sure what. I guess I will just wait and see.

So here are a few pictures from the weekend. Daddy says he will post some more this week, and even more after Gramma & Aunt Amy send theirs.


This is Saturday, when it was pretty hot. I got to run around (okay, so I am not even crawling yet) nearly naked!

And yes, that is a lot of drool on Poppa's seat!









Here I am with Gramma on Sunday. I might look bored in this picture, but I really wasn't. I am merely trying to figure out the toy in my hand.

Sometime before this picture Gramma took me outside to look and listen to all the birds. It relaxed me until I fell asleep!

Big Weekend - Bigger Monday!

Okay, so I missed a day.

I was recovering from all the activity of the weekend. I will post pictures tomorrow.

27-0 Chargers!!!! Woo hoo. Too bad I slept through all of it. Yup. Did not see one play. Daddy says that it was quite boring really. But we will take the win.

Bigger than that is that after week one in the Kobus Family Tradition, who sits (and spits) on top?
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Cool.

The biggest news however was the first ever tasting of food! I ate some Gerber Bananas. I liked them alot. After ever spoon full I pumped my legs and smacked my lips. YUMMY!

Hot Saturday

Yesterday we went to see Gramma & Poppa up at Castaic Lake. It was fun, but warm. I was happiest when just in my diaper. Okay, I was happiest when getting fed, but after that.

We got a late start to the day because Daddy was more tired than he thought. At the lake, more accurately, the RV park, we listened to some music, and watched some college football. Dumb SU.

Oh, and the Padres lost too. Bad sports day.

When it cooled down a little, Gramma took me outside. That was fun! Lots of birds.

We are going to do it again today!

Happy Birthday Uncle Locky!!!

Silly Locky. Daddy can't find a more recent image!
But he basically looks the same, except OLDER!!!!!!
And, yes, he still is led everywhere by his heart.

So today should be super fun! I am so excited I barely slept last night (sorry Mommy)

Okay, maybe time for a quick nap to charge the batteries for Gramma & Poppa

I'm In First!

Okay, I guess I will retire while on top. Poor Daddy switched his pick at the last minute...ha!

Maybe I should explain. My family has an annual event related to picking football games. No pointspreads, only who wins. This tradition has been going on for...who knows how long. Daddy thinks at least 20 years now. Anyway, after yesterday's game I am tied for first!

We shall see by tuesday whether or not I still am. Then I need to start picking my games for the next week. It takes me a long time to pick!!!

Getting excited about the weekend!

4 Months Old Today!

Woo hoo! Only 188 more until I can drive!

So, we have no idea what day of the week it is around here! Daddy working nights & TIVO conspire against us knowing.

Okay, so this is not the best picture of me, but I was fighting with Daddy, so, whatever.

Padres win again! Yea P-Nut!

Well I am starting to complain about not getting feed, so I guess I will go.

But first, my before & after shots.
Newborn vs 4 Months!

Not Much To Say

Surprise!

Yesterday was Daddy's first night working the overnight shift. He was gone from 10pm until 6 am. I didn't notice he was gone. I slept through most of it.

Right now I can't think of anything earth shattering to tell, so I guess I will simply wait until tomorrow to say something interesting.

Go Padres!

Barfield Rocks

Anyone whose name reminds me up puke and spit up has to be cool!Here I am relaxing away on Labor Day. The irony does not escape me!

Our schedule got all messed up today as Daddy starts working overnight this week. So he went to sleep super early, just to wake up around 7:00pm. Then he was going to stay up all night. Silly Daddy.

Very excited about this weekend coming up. Castaic Lake and football! Woo hoo.

Speaking of football, is my presence in the league this year keeping people from joining (ahem, Poppa, ahem, Pickards!)

Well Tuesday promises to be tricky, just more getting used to Daddy's schedule.

Chafing

Chafing is simply no fun. Let me start out by saying that. My day started out badly. I woke up at 2 am and wanted some food. Daddy obliged.

I fell back to sleep, Daddy was fine with that. Daddy took me upstairs to my crib. BIG MISTAKE. I woke up, and Daddy could not get me back to sleep until 3:45. Yikes.

The rest of the morning was a bit of a blur, as everyone was a little wore out. Then Mommy & Daddy took me to mi abuela's house. I spend most of the afternoon and evening there. I spit up, I slept, I pee pee on people. Fun stuff. But the chafing....

Mommy & Daddy came back later (I hardly noticed they were gone.) I did enjoy my car rides though. Abuela lives in Glendale which is like 20 miles from our house.

Hopefully I will sleep better tonight. Good thing tomorrow is a holiday!

Yeah padres! Keep it going!

Post #100

Wow, what a milestone! Very cool.

Well all the build up yesterday was for nothing. We ended up doing nothing. Mommy was not feeling well, so we just relaxed at home. Well, I wasn't so relaxed, but we still stayed home.

Daddy & I watched some football, but mainly I just was a crank. Which, I have noted, is yet another movie named after me. First Little Man, now Crank. If I see a movie named Sir Puke, we have to have the house swept for bugs.

I think I am going to see mi abuela today, but who knows? Yah, Padres. Boo, Syracuse.

Late to Post Today

Totally Daddy's fault.

He worked late last night, then did some silly football draft thing. Oh well. Yesterday while Daddy worked, I was quite the pain for Mommy. What can I say? I like be awake!

This weekend we have no plans that I have been made aware of, but this morning there has been some activity implying a shopping trip.

Stay tuned tomorrow to see what I actually did!

Hungry Boy

I am beginning to eat more when it is time for me to eat. The day was a lot like every other day except that Daddy worked later than normal. He says it will be worse tomorrow, and really bad on Tuesday.

Whatever.

Mommy kept me entertained with her "Que Paso?" . I am becoming such a Momma's boy.

Guapo means handsome for the Spanish impaired.
Here I am being a little cranky. But Mommy & Daddy still love me. Yah!
