Undermining Daddy's Authority

It was getting late.  Way past 8:00.  But there was still a lot of playing to do.  I definitely wasn't ready to be put to bed.  Especially the way Daddy holds me and tries to get me to sleep in a battle of wills.

I sure won tonight.  Mommy even told Daddy I could stay-up.  Totally overruled.   Sometimes Daddy needs to understand the Chain of Command in this house.

Digital Lullabies

When Mommy and Daddy were babies there were no iPhones.  I sure am glad I was born when I was, phew.

They never would experience the joy of Andre Bocelli singing "Time to Say Goodbye (Goodnight)" to Elmo on YouTube.

Granted, I slapped the iPhone a few times and made it repeat and I still can't resist trying to eat it, maybe on the hundredth try it will taste good.

After about the fifth time I watched the clip I actually felt like sleeping.

Time to Say Goodnight!

Crying Calisthenics

Stretching is important before any athletic endeavor.  You don't just jump into an intense workout without a warm-up first.

If you are going to cry all night, you need to prepare.  Stretching increases your endurance so you can go the distance.

Maybe if Daddy had stretched a bit more he wouldn't have given-up so early and passed me to Mommy.

I win again!

Baseball Caps!

I haven't been to a baseball game yet.  Even though that exciting event hasn't happened, it doesn't mean I can't pretend to be a Seattle Mariner!

Eventually, Daddy was tired of my nonsense and replaced it with a more suitable baseball cap for our walk.

I preferred the larger one.  It was way less tight on my little Baby noggin.  When Daddy puts constraining clothes on me it brings back the trauma of when he used to try and swaddle me!  Blah!

I can't wait to go stretch out in my crib.

I Love Those Wild Texas Women!

I caught a bit of a new reality TV show tonight.  "Big Rich Texas", doesn't have quite the excitement of "Jersey Shore" but it does have a bit of a draw for me.  The women are very colorful and loud.  Kind of like the Monsters on Sesame Street.

Makes me want to drink some ice cold beer, put on a Ten-Gallon hat, throw some meat on the barbecue, watch some football and rope me a steer!  Maybe even drill for some oil afterwards!

I may be a baby from the Pacific Northwest but I feel like a cowboy tonight!

Yee-Ha!

I Want To Drink What Daddy Drinks!!!

I'm not saying I don't appreciate Mommy's milk but it is getting a little boring.  Granted, they have also let me try . . . Water!  Can you sense a little sarcasm. 

I want to drink the stuff Daddy likes to drink!

It wasn't easy at all getting into Daddy's beer. Of course, even if I had been able to gnaw through the box I would have had to get the bottle caps off!  Not easy at all.

Almost got myself some coffee!  

I really don't understand why Daddy refuses to let my try the things he likes to drink.  

Maybe he will start letting me try it after my birthday when I'm a little older.

I'm not growing-up fast enough!

Planning My Birthday Party!

The concept of time is still a bit abstract to me but I'm only a few months from my first Birthday.  Mommy prides herself on her party planning ability so it is important to begin preparations now.

One of the first steps is to have a Guest List.  Mommy and I went over it a few times but since I am a baby and have no sense of proportion .  .  . I decided to invite everybody.

Party On!
