Catching Up

The purpose of this post is to help get everyone up to speed. My dad is a little slow at getting my photos out to everyone by email, so I'm posting these photos and telling a little about myself.

I was born on Wednesday, October 18, 2006, at 7:21 pm. I weighed 6 pounds, 2 ounces and was 21 inches long. I was long and skinny with long hands and feet. Mom and Dad were really excited to meet me. I have my Dad's eyes and my Mom's lips.

On to the photos . . .

Here's my room. Thanks to all my family for the toys and especially to Oma an Opa for setting it up.


This is one of the first photos ever taken of me and definitely my first with Dad, taken a few minutes after I came into the world.

This is Oma holding me shortly after. She didn't let Dad have me for long.

This is me finally getting sleep after they put me down.


My first Halloween. Man, I'm scary.


This is me at only a few weeks already balancing my bottle.


This is Mom's favorite early photo of me. She says it shows personality. Dad says "but it's the personality of a grumpy old man."


Well, they wouldn't actually let me vote, but they gave me a sticker.


This is me at the Rose Garden. Flowers are more Mom's thing.


Mom bundled me up for a walk to the park with Dad, Scout, and Toby.


This is me with one of my favorites. Dad named it Eeyore because I got it about the same time I got a Winnie the Pooh. Mom pointed out that it's actually a dog, but the name stuck and he's still my favorite (after the bears, of course).



Along with breakfast with Dad, and watching the bears, bath time is one of my favorite activities.



That's me under the hood towel.


Aunt Stacey Smiles and Ridiculous Uncle Brian brought my cousins, Wade and Mason to visit.


Wow, that was tiring.
