I got another awesome birthday present!

Birthday!!!

May 30th, 2009

It’s my birthday! I got the BEST presents. Exhibit A:

Remix!

May 20th, 2009

You may have noticed two things: One, I haven’t updated here in roughly 8 months, and two, everything looks different. The second is the result of the first; Daddy upgraded my website from Blogger to WordPress, which makes updating WAY easier. So look forward to more frequent updates!
Starting with this: I have a baby sister! Josephine AletaMae was born in May 8th. So go check that, and enjoy this super-awesome picture of me:

CHECK IT.


July 16th, 2008

Yay! Daddy took time out from his busy schedule of spying on the neighbors (he says they’re running a “meh flab” in their basement, whatever that is) to help me upload some more pictures! This batch is using an all new technomanology, namely, Daddy grew tired of editing and uploading pictures and having to store them on his server so he’s just hotlinking to shutterfly. This has the additional benefit of allowing you to just click over there to order any pictures you might want to have. They’re pretty cheap, apparently. Anyway, HERE IS WHERE IT IS AT!

I appear to be working on my golf swing. Luckily, Mr. Brian is helping me, as opposed to Daddy; Daddy golfs like Ben Hogan. Which would be pretty good if Ben Hogan wasn’t dead.

Upside down? Well, I never!

With a little bit of shimmy shake…

Leaves!

And slugs! Ew.

Daddy and I went to the Big Park (which he called the Flower Market) with the Smith clan. I was a little trepidatious about this ride, ’cause not only did it go round and round, it went UP AND DOWN. Daddy rode with me, but he wasn’t much of a comfort once it got moving because of his shrieks of terror and hot, copious tears.

This ride didn’t go up and down, but it was very bumpy.

Hey man, can I get my spikey red ball back? For real. Stop playin’.

I met lunch!

Lunch tried to eat me back!

I have no explanation regarding the absence of my pants.

Me and my male ancestors! Most of ’em, anyway. This, by the by, was at my birthday party.

I’m not entirely sure I get this whole “sharing” thing. It’s not as much fun as I’ve been led to believe.

Doin’ my stand-up routine.

SLIIIIIIIDE!

Tickles? Well, I never again!

I was a little concerned about the ENORMOUS SPONGEBOB in my grandparents’ yard. (More on him shortly.)

Yeah…he’s big.

You want me to go INSIDE him? Uh…I dunno.

DON’T LIKE DON’T LIKE DON’T LIKE OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT

Much better. This is a ride I can handle.

Later on, opening presents!

Lincoln Logs? What the heck are they?

Green garbage truck! [Ed. – Charles sleeps with this bloody thing now. It’s, um, a hit.]

Sometimes, um, Daddy and I dress the same. It is TOTALLY NORMAL, I have been assured.

Show me pensive!

Blowing bubbles! With a bubble GUN! It’s like, double the awesome.

BUBBLES!

It’s, like, SNOWING bubbles. These bubble guns are EFFICIENT PRODUCERS OF SOAPY SPHERES.

Workin’ on the sharing.

We’re getting the hang of it.

Arrrr! Avast ye!

Ur doin’ it rong

I’m good at wishin’! Even on other people’s birthdays!

Visiting Aunt Lizzie and her family at the hospital where she apparently made my cousin, baby Kathryn.

Stealin’ Grumps’s cake.

Rasslin’ with Uncle Craig! I think we won.

Rasslin’ with Uncle Kyle! We lost, but he cheated.

Then he tried to get me in trouble and start a pillow fight! Outstanding.

That’s it! Don’t forget, if you want to order high-quality prints you can get ’em at Daddy’s Shutterfly page, or you could always beg him to just send you the full size pictures, but they’re like MONSTER HUGE.

Daddy was supposed to help me put these up on Friday, but he was crazy busy and didn’t get to him. Don’t worry; on Saturday, vengeance was mine, in the form of a diaper that smelled suspiciously of fish. This batch is mostly from the New Year’s extravaganza at the beach. Here, Daddy helps me fly:

Hi!


Superbig version

Bethany and Pedram, apparently during Daddy’s blue period:


Superbig version

Outta my face, reprobate!


Superbig version

Plane?


Superbig version

After we got back from the beach, we went to my Aunt Lalu’s house for Christmas festivities. This is her deck.


Superbig version

This is her chair, and her dog.


Superbig version

Grumps was tickling me!


Superbig version

With Aunt Rebecca, Grumps, and Nathaniel.


Superbig version

Indoor misbehavior:


Superbig version

Grumps can read!


Superbig version

Whaddaya mean, trouble?


Superbig version

Uncle Joe was tickling me too!

March 7th, 2008

The next batch, as promised! These are mostly from around Christmas time.

Whoa, what’s with the face fuzz, old man? Make with the presents!


Superbig version

Chillin’ with Conner.


Superbig version

We will, we will: rock you.


Superbig version

Huuuugs!


Superbig version

Playin’ with Ellie at Grandma’s birthday.


Superbig version

The Genius at work.


Superbig version

Hokie Hokie Hokie! Hi Hi Hi! GOBBLE!


Superbig version

How can I be Mini-Me? I’m also a Me!


Superbig version

Yay, Chrimmas!


Superbig version

What’s the point of opening MORE presents, when you have perfectly good toys already unwrapped and waiting for you?


Superbig version

Grandma and I teamed up on the stash.


Superbig version

Chrimmas hat! Or…pillow! Or something!

Since I’ve been horribly remiss, I have promised myself that I’ll have Daddy post photos for 3 straight Fridays! Yay! This will get us caught up on all the holiday stuff, which means all of these pictures are at least 2 months old. Oh, well. It’s Daddy’s fault, somehow.

This is Daddy’s new (used) car! I drooled on it.


Superbig version

I love rocks SO MUCH!


Superbig version

That’s Chester. He’s a big ol’ nice cuddly pup!


Superbig version

Nathaniel wouldn’t let me into the car with him, so I figured I’d just push him into the rocks.


Superbig version

A slide for someone my age! Sadly, not for someone of my size, since my legs stretch over about 2/3 of it.


Superbig version

Dirt-raking. Somebody’s gotta do it, right?


Superbig version

I was taking a nice, warm bath, and I kept getting visitors!


Superbig version

Daddy has big feets.


Superbig version

More next week!

November 13th, 2007

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I haven’t posted in like 3 months. That is A QUARTER OF A YEAR, during which a lot has happened: I can walk like a champ, I eat approximately an entire horse every day, and I can say the following words (this list is not inclusive):

Kitty

Clock

Truck

Car

Bus (I have a thing for vehicles)

Bear

Dog

Ball

Balloon

“Yay!”

And some others. I also know what the horse, cow, dog, cat, sheep, and dinosaur all say.

Even better, I know the sign language for eat, drink, milk, please, more, and “all done.” I am the smartest baby since Johannes Kepler. ON TO THE PICS! As usual, if you click on the thumb, you get the web-friendly 1200×800 shot, and if you click the Superbig version, you get a nearly 5MB photo suitable for enlargement. Not that I’m not already large enough…

Nathaniel’s always getting me in trouble.


Superbig version

Grumps isn’t much better.


Superbig version

And Mommy is clearly insane.


Superbig version

Horsey ride!


Superbig version

With my cousin Jacqueline and my Großoma! (Great-grandmother.)


Superbig version

Then Aunt Dar joined us and things got out of hand.


Superbig version

Baaaaaaa!


Superbig version


Superbig version

Hello, lunch!


Superbig version

Once again, Nathaniel causes me to get in trouble.


Superbig version

At Zachary’s birthday party!

Superbig version

Daddy and I like to fling each other around.


Superbig version


Superbig version


Superbig version

O hi!


Superbig version

Messin’ with Uncle Bill!


Superbig version

Mmmm…skillet cake.


Superbig version

A chicken!


Superbig version

I told Miss Henna a joke.


Superbig version

Mr. Shaun and I are heck of handsome.


Superbig version

Eatin’ watermelon with No
lan. Mmmm…food.


Superbig version

I am the king of this…thing!


Superbig version

Slidin’, with Mommy’s help.


Superbig version


Superbig version

Hey, what do you want done with all this dirt? Should I leave it, or bring it into the car?


Superbig version

Hey back there!


Superbig version

Wrasslin’ with Oma.
