Happy Halloween!!!

Me and Daddy. Look at those guns!

Now that Mommy and Daddy are a LITTLE less busy (I think), perhaps they can upload more pictures! WOOO!

In the meantime, I’m five months old today. I had a doctor’s appointment a few weeks ago at which I weighed 20 pounds and was 27 inches long, and just this weekend a little tooth started poking through my lower gum. It feels pointy! I like to use it to gnaw on my toys.

Who are THESE guys?!?

Worry not! I had to disappear for a while. Let’s say it was for, uh, tax reasons. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Meanwhile, I’ve taken a trip to Texas to meet my Southern relatives, and I’ve ballooned to 26 inches and almost 19 pounds! This might be a record, even for Hearnspawn.

The better news is that Mommy and Daddy have finally figured out most my needs, which leads to me being happier, which leads to big smiles! (I should be honest, though, Daddy still does try to put the diaper on my head occasionally. I’m not sure that he’s any more mature than I am. Luckily, Mommy is not averse to hitting him when he misbehaves.) This picture’s from about a month ago right before daddy went to prison er, we went on vacation for a while.

Here, The Cheat and I discover one another. I thought she looked very edible; she probably thought the same thing about me.

On the plane to Texas! I was such a good boy. I almost peed on a surly passenger!

This is a shot of Mommy and me in front of the statue dedicated to the cowboys of Mason County. One of my ancestors is mentioned on a plaque on the other side!

Man, do I like nappin’ with Grandma.

And eating watermelon! I just had a little bit of the juice, but it was seriously lip-smackin’.

Despite my apprehensive expression, I was actually very glad to meet Aunt Joan.

And cousin Jill…

And Ginger…

And cousin Kelli…

And cousin Kelli’s four kids: Braden, Dalen, Bailey, and Kylie…

And Uncle Mike…

And Papaw…

And a host of other relatives that would take hours to name (Mamaw, Aunt Vicky, Aunt Donna, Uncle Bill, Uncle Fred…)! They were all so awesome.

Grandpa bought a new camcorder so he could document my every move, and also to drive Mommy nuts with it. Awesome.

If he wasn’t playing with the new camera, he was usually playing with me!

We had a great time in Texas, and I’m ready to go back!!! Assuming Mommy is ready to board a plane with me again.

Hi there! It’s been a week, so it’s time for more pictures of ME! Here I am with Auntie Danielle:

At the Brandywiners picnic:

With Auntie Kate:

With Mommy and Daddy’s friends, Henna and Ian:

And visiting Nolan, who belongs to Brian and Mary:

Yay! I’m back! And I’m told I weigh over 13 pounds! I like eating. So does my cousin Nathaniel:

I like sleeping next to Daddy. He smells like chicken.

I think Poly is starting to warm to me!

Just back from my first vacation with Mommy and Daddy! We went to the beach with Oma and Grumps and Aunt Lizzie and my cousin Nathaniel. Even Uncle Gabe came down for a day with his boat. Daddy said I was too little to go out on the boat, so I pooped on him. Anyway, here are some pictures, starting with one that Daddy took of me and Mommy taking one of our many beauty naps.

Poly isn’t sure if she likes me yet, but she sure is curious (and a little jealous).

Mommy’s friend Nora visited for the first time just before leaving for the beach.

Here’s that crazy Poly-girl again, trying to get All Up Ons.

I like sleeping on Oma!

I don’t smile much when I’m awake, mostly because Daddy isn’t half as funny as he thinks he is, but apparently when I’m napping I do it all the time. I think I was dreaming about lunch here.

Occasionally I try to look at too many things at once and I get a little googly.

And here I am being the life of the beach with my cousin, under a tent that Aunt Lizzie brought along.

There are more beach pictures to come!!!

Oh my gosh I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY CUTE! Mommy and Daddy have both reportedly made this picture the desktop background on all their computers.

New photos! I have gotten large. I’m told I’m almost 12 pounds!

My daddy is scary fish:

This is my “aunt” Jeanmarie, one of Mommy’s oldest friends:

This is my buddy Jacob! He’s a big boy too.

Here’s me and Daddy again, with Daddy looking much less psycho.

I’m hanging out in my bouncy seat. I’m not entirely sure how to operate it yet, and I pooped in it the the other day, but it sure is comfy!

This is my carseat:

And this is where Mommy laid me down for a moment so she could switch the laundry over:

Sorry for the lack of new updates, but I’m just getting used to being home with Mommy and Daddy. Mommy is in charge of feeding, and Daddy is in charge of diapers. He has repeatedly said he enjoys changing diapers more than his actual job! Daddy leads a sad life, I think.

Anyway, in lieu of saying anything useful, because my thoughts revolve mostly around food and poop, here is my first podcast! It’s very short, but very meaningful. Enjoy!
