I hate shots...

Since I'm four months old, that meant another trip to the doctor....which meant more shots. Man I hate shots. But Dad was really calming and held me until I stopped crying. I forgot my numbers, but I do know I'm in the 50% range for weight and 90% for height! So that means I am pretty tall for my age, and I'm of average weight.

I've officially outgrown all my 0-3 month size clothes. So now I'm wearing 3-6 month size. And believe it or not, some of that is almost too short. But the problem is they are way too big around. Even though I appear pretty chunky (because I have no neck and my cheek's are really full) my arms, legs and torso are pretty skinny. So I swim in most of my clothes, but then the pants are too short... And I'm not even to those awkward puberty years yet...

But hey, I'm pale and I have red hair. There is going to be plenty of amunition for the kids on the playground to make fun of me.

Bumbo Growth Chart - Four Months

I'm four months old!! I'm four months old?? Seriously? Four months already? Wow, it's true...... I have the Bumbo Growth Chart photo to prove it. Four months....

Look how much I've grown!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

My first Thanksgiving - I'll remember lots of people in the house, lots of food in the house, and Uncle Eric and Ethan battling it out on the Wii to see who can do the most Hula Hoop spins in three minutes! I'm sad that Pa Pa wasn't with us, but due to the timing - it turned into a blessing as it kept Grammy and Gramps home for the holiday and it brought Uncle Eric in town. My first major holiday was a joy! Even if Daphne tried to steal some of my spotlight...

Night night...

Not long ago, I said "night night" to Pa Pa for the last time. My mom begged me to post this photo though, if you glanced quickly you might think it was Pa Pa and me, but if you look closer you see his hair is darker and fuller and well, the baby looks....like Uncle Eric!

And this photo taken in May 1960 might help motivate me to pick up the guitar and learn how to play one day. Check out the furniture, too! You can tell it's the 60's!

To honor Pa Pa, we had a small blue bouquet of flowers from me at the funeral. How fitting if I do say so...
The funeral was quite special.... I played with my friends Abby, Ben, Misty and Shawn in the lobby the whole time. I was cuddled so you know I enjoyed it. The next day the whole family piled into several cars and drove for about 26 hours in the car to the graveside ceremony. Okay, so it wasn't 26 hours, but it felt that long to me. The church where Pa Pa attended for years and years gave us a potluck where everyone ate way too much food. While my parents were busy running after my sister, I found a new buddy - my cousin Ethan!

John Deere Green

Christmas 2007 Gramps and Grammy bought Daphne a John Deere toy. Daphne still dearly (no pun intended) loves this toy, so it's hard for me to get a chance to play with it. But when the opportunity knocks, I take it! Who wouldn't?

Little to Big

There comes a time in every boy's life they have to leave the little bed and go to the big bed. I made the switch and I love it! This big bed is so much better than that little bassinet. And it means I am in my room now instead of in my parents room. Man do I sleep better now! (Except for the one or two times a night I wake up for a diaper change or bottle...)

My first girlfriend!

Just before everything happened with Pa Pa, I went on my first date. I didn't get a chance to post it earlier, so I'm posting it now. Meet Miss Lauren! She's only a month younger than me, and might I say a little doll. We had a blast playing, for the few moments we were both awake!
