My Receding Hairline


I think I'm going bald. Mommy says not to worry, this happens to most babies that are born with hair. They lose the hair, and new, and sometimes different color hair grows into place. Daddy decided to make me feel better about it. He took me out to Ashland to visit Uncle Eliot. As you can see here, Uncle Eliot is facing some of the same issues as me. I wonder what color hair his will be when it grows back? Well, as you can see here, bald is beautiful.

My M&D's Works


So today mommy took me to visit daddy's work. It was in a big building surrounded by other big buildings, we took the elevator up. Once we got there, we saw daddy briefly, but were immediately surrounded by a swarm of crazy ladies. They were clawing at each other and fighting over me. Daddy says he wished ladies would have ever done that over him. Then we walked down to a restaurant and had lunch. M&D looked like they were enjoying themselves, so I decided to be good and not break the mood. After that, mommy had an appointment. Since we were up at MCV, we dropped by her work too. This picture was not taken at her work, but it does feature me with her friend Suzanne that she works with. We saw Suzanne again today. Lots of other people too. I was a good girl today, M&D hope it lasts, but little do they know I'm just saving up my energy for 3am!

My Sunday Brunch



I decided that I would throw a little brunch to welcome my upcoming friend Mia. She should be here in about three weeks, though her mommy is trying to get her to come sooner, I guess she's just anxious to meet her. We did brunch at my house today for friends Chad and Angie, far right and far left of both pictures respectively. Angie is the one in the green with Mia sticking out of her belly. I didn't quite get everyone in the pictures here, but I didn't want to seize up blogspot by using too much bandwidth. From left to right, we have Liz, Laura, Chad, Angie, mommy, Jason, and Haz's hand and leg. Not pictured are D and E. But they were there. Angie got a Hooter Hider to be able to feed Mia without the creepy guy in the corner watching, or so said Chad. I wonder if he was referring to daddy?

My Aunt Nancy


I call a lot of people Aunt. Some of them are, some of them are friends of M&D's, some of them I just like a lot. This picture depicts my great Aunt Nancy. Now of course, she is great, but she gets the official title because she is daddy's Aunt. She drove to Richmond from Covington just to see me. It's a harrowing journey, mostly heralded by dodging big trucks on I-81. Aunt Nancy has another half, that's my great Uncle Nick. Uncle Nick was unable to come. He is down in Mexico with Habitat for Humanity building houses for people who don't have them. I will get to see Aunt Nancy and meet Uncle Nick in a couple of weekends. Mommy and Daddy are taking me near Covington to the Homestead to stay for a night. Nick and Nancy are going to come see me there. I also get to meet my cousins Mary Ann and Chris that weekend. More on that as I get closer.

My Big Weekend


Sorry I've been away so long, I've been very busy this weekend and just have had a ton of time to get to the computer. Friday I spent the day at Aunt Beth's. She explained a little more about hitting the sauce. Still not sure I get it, but Aunt Beth told me I have to be at least 15 before she'll let me hit it. Guess I have time to understand. Friday night daddy cooked dinner for mommy for a belated valentine's day. Rack of lamb, yummy. Saturday night, we had a baby friendly baby shower at my Uncle Colin and Aunt Tara's. They have a nine month old daughter Lily who I want to be just like when I grow up. She's so pretty with big eyes. M&D took me on a long walk yesterday in the nice weather. Daddy's friend Bryan came over to meet me and help daddy with his kegerator. Sorry I didn't get any pictures. My cousins Turner and James came over with DeeDee and Pop. Then mommy's friend Mary came over for the second time this weekend. To top it all off, mommy's sister Susie came over and stayed for a long time. It's nice to see so many people. Daddy didn't have to work today, so he and mommy made margaritas and daddy cooked shrimp and crab etoufee. Mmmm, tastes like summer in February. Well, enough on my Saturday and Sunday, if I get a chance later, I'll detail my Monday too.

My Aunt Beth


I'm so excited for Friday. Mommy is going in to work because they need her for this one day. Luckily, my Aunt Beth is available to watch me, daddy says that's because she doesn't really work. As you can see from this picture, Aunt Beth is lots of fun. The one in the top hat and cane is Aunt Beth, closely shadowed by my Aunt Kim who lives in Atlanta. Daddy says that Aunt Beth had hit the sauce heavily the night of this picture. I don't really understand what that means. I helped daddy make hollandaise sauce for eggs the other day, and it didn't seem to be as much fun as Aunt Beth makes hitting the sauce look here. I hope we get to hit the sauce on Friday. If I end up with pictures of me in a top hat, I will definitely post them!

My Poopy Daddy



These pictures are just gratuitous cute baby pictures nothing to do with my story. So last night, daddy's changing me and makes the mistake of commenting aloud how pleased he was at the lack of activity in my diaper. Remember my comment the other day about showing M&D what I could do to a white onesy? Well, I did that, except I did it to daddy. You should have seen how surprised my utterly defenseless daddy was. He didn't even have a baby wipe in his hand to protect himself. He grabbed one soon enough, but that measly one wasn't going to do him very much good. He got me mostly clean, handed me off to mommy to finish the process so rudely interrupted, and disappeared upstairs for half an hour. I heard him tell mommy later that he took a shower, and then burned his clothes. Not sure if he was joking.
