Doing Time In Ohio – July 4th

This past weekend was my first trip to Ohio to visit Grandma, Grandpa and all my Ohio relatives AND my first time on a plane. I was a good boy on both my flights. Flying makes me sleepy. Ohio was fun. The people in Ohio have lots of parties. I was at 2 parties in 2 days. I was all pooped out by day 3. I got lots of toys and gifts from my new friends. I also got to meet my cousin Maria. She is a lot older than me but the only one around close to my size. I think I’ll go back to Ohio to get spoiled again soon!!!

UPDATE - I'M EATING SOLIDS NOW!!!

Luke wanted everyone to know that he has finally caved in! After 3+ weeks of daily refusing his cereals and fruit, Master Luke smartened up and decided to start eating his food. It was quite a battle but we are now at 2 feedings a day. He gobbles down all his food and actually smiles through mealtime....a place I never thought we would get! Congrats Luke!!!

Guess who turned the big 0-5 (months that is)!!!

I’m 5 months old today!!! Lots going on for me. My favorite teacher at school, Cara, left to stay home with her daughter. I’m pretty bummed about it. She was very nice to me.

Other goings on - I started formula which I’m doing fine with. I didn’t want to take my bottle at first but after a pep talk with Mom and Dad, I’m on board!!

I am still not wild about these cereals Mom keeps trying to feed me. I'm doing a pretty good job of spitting out everything she shovels in but it gets old after a while. I’m hoping she gets the hint soon b/c I’d just assume stay on milk for a few years or so. Why rush things?

That’s it for me right now…more updates later….

Daddy's Day

Dad and I had a great weekend together! We took a walk in Cambridge with Mom and Marley on Saturday. Lucky for us there was the Charles River Festival going on so we got to walk around and people watch. I wanted to get an ice cream or maybe a hot dog but dad left his wallet in the car…bummer! Marley was a good boy, given the mass amounts of people to tempt him  Dad said that if I’m lucky maybe I’ll go to college in Cambridge. That would suit me just fine. Maybe then I could get all the hot dogs and ice creams I want!!! Sunday Dad got the “Kitchen Pass” as Mom calls it to play golf in the morning. We went to Papa’s for a BBQ in the afternoon. I got Dad some nice running shirts, a card and made him a tie bookmark at daycare. Marley got him gummie bears (that were already in the pantry, cheap dog!) All in All it was a great first Father’s Day mostly because I have the best dad a guy could ask for!!!!

My First trip to the Big City...

Boston that is. I went on the train to Boston with 3 of my friends (all lady friends I may add) We had fun! Walked through Faneuil Hall and I stopped for a bottle at Quincy Market. Lots of people watching there! Then we headed over toward the water and watched the boats come in. Mom said maybe next time we can go out on a boat!!! It was a big day, I was tired but like doing the day trips with Mom!!!

Uh Oh....

Another Milestone!! Mom and Dad started me on cereal this week. I was very excited to have something other than milk. I could tell they were excited too, the camera came out. One problem, I decided I hate cereal. It’s gross and Mom kept trying to shovel it in my mouth. I spit out as much as I could then just went postal! She apparently doesn’t get the hint because she has been trying to feed this gross stuff to me every day since. It’s a battle of wills. I’m holding out!!!!

My Wednesday Friends...

These are my friends from my Wed New Mother's Group at Emerson Hosp. I don't know who put me next to the wild crying baby but I he was crowding my shot! Sometimes I go to my friend Will’s house (to my left). He also has a young lab -Evie. She and Marley are friends. We commiserate (I learned how from my grandpa!) on life with a lab puppy!!!

Mem Day 2007!!

Lots of firsts for me this Memorial Day weekend! I went to The Cape this weekend for the first time. I slept away from home at Mimi’s Cape house for the first time and I saw the beach for the first time!! I had a great time!!! My cousins, aunt and uncle, Mimi, Nana…lots of loved ones, except Marley. Everyone says he is “too crazy” to come! I can’t wait till the weather gets a little nicer and I’m out there on the beach. I already have my swim trunks ready to go for the summer….watch out ladies!!!

Milestone!!!

I’m happy to brag to everyone that I am now officially able to roll over (back to belly!) Mom and I were at a mom’s group last Wed when I got bored of all the “mom talk”. I decided to try something new. Everyone got so excited when I did it, I’ve been doing it ever since! Of course when Dad came home that night from work and Mom wanted me to show him I just laid on my play mat and cried….Hey! I can’t always be doing what the big people want! Plus, you gotta keep them guessing!!!

I'm 4 Months Old!!!

Can you beleive it! I'm 4 months old today!!! I feel old! We are getting into the swing of things with Mom back to work and me at daycare. I like it there just find. My teachers (Cara and Heather) are very nice to me and we do fun things. I made a card for Mom for Mother's Day, I did some artwork with my hand and feet prints and we already did school pictures! There are a couple of cuties in my class. I flirt with them, I've learned from the best....
