We’re visiting Kyle and Kristy in Richmond!

I had a doctor’s appointment today:
The doctors and nurses are all very nice. They made me smile a lot! I weigh 21 pounds, 13 ounces, or something around there; my wiggling made it difficult to get an accurate measurement, but it wasn’t my fault, since they wouldn’t let me play with the scale. I’m 30.75 inches long, which I’m told is the length of the average 14-month-old. Hopefully I can develop a wicked skyhook.
I had to get a bunch of shots, which hurt, but not so badly that I didn’t giggle as soon as Daddy picked me back up. I like manipulating adults!

I’m six months old today! We celebrated by going to see Santa.
He was a jolly old soul who tried to sell us an investment portfolio.
Update so far: I have teeth! Three of them at the moment. Mommy and Daddy have started feeding me some yummy vegetables; I’m fond of sweet potatoes, but carrots get a big NAY NAY from me.

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.

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.

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!!!
