Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Last night we carved our pumpkin. It was fun. I got to get messy like mommy said. After I stuck my hand in the slime and tried to eat the pumpkin guts mommy smeared them across my face and called it my war paint! It was silly.

I also got to play with my baby pumpkin again. I tried to eat him too, but they wouldn't let me. :( Party poopers!

At first I was scared when mommy pulled the pumpkin's head off, but then she showed me that it didn't hurt him.

We made him a happy pumpkin, because I'm not suppossed to know about scary stuff yet. He also has two bottom teeth just like me!

Since everyone always names their pumpkin Jack I decided to be different. I named him "Monster" like all my favorite guys on Sesame Street. (They are "monsters" not "muppets"!)

So later on I get to put on my costume and go knock on strangers doors and ask for free candy. Sounds odd to me but mommy says to appreciate it because there's only one day a year that acting like that won't get my a set of four rubber walls. Daddy's not real into Halloween but mommy's super excited. She loves the holidays. I guess I'll have to wait until tonight and see whose take on it I'm most inclined to.

Check back this afternoon to see me all dressed up!

Bookworming

So mommy kept her promise yesterday and read me ALL of my books, all 24 of them! Then we went shopping and she bought me 6 more books and read those too! That's a lot of reading!

Little baby books with colors and animals, bigger boy books with rhymes, and story books with more words than pictures. We'd eat, read, play, nap, read, eat, play, read, nap, eat...all day long!

I like it when mommy reads. I like to look at the pictures, and try to turn the pages, and sometimes I just like to play and listen to her. She says people don't read enough these days and she's so happy I love books. I say they have colorful pictures and feel good on my teeth when I bite them! :P

Oh yeah, here's a picture of my sticker face from Sunday:

I was silly.

Last night I had a really bad sleep. Every time mommy tried to lay me down it woke me up. Then when I finally got to sleep I woke up a few hours later, and I was scared. When I fell asleep I was tightly hugged and cuddling with mommy, but when I woke up I was alone, and wet and it was sooo dark. Mommy picked me up again, but every time I'd fall back asleep and she tried to put me down it kept waking me up. Even when she just laid me next to her. Daddy's snoring didn't help. I ended up awake every half an hour all night long. I haven't ever slept that bad in my entire life, not even when I was first born. I finally ended up getting some rest when I fell asleep on mommy's chest and she just left me there. Hopefully I'll have a better night tonight.

Speaking of tonight, we get to carve our pumpkin tonight. I've never carved a pumpkin, and I don't really know what it is, but they said I'll be able to get really messy, so I'm excited. I just hope it doesn't hurt the pumpkin, because I like my new orange friend.

Well I'm gonna go for now. I need to get all the crawling practice I can. See ya later!

Joe Torre wearing Dodger Blue?

Mommy says we might start going to more Dodger games. If they hire Joe Torre that is. She told me to cross my fingers. In his 12 years with the Yanks they never missed a post season, won 10 AL East titles, 6 pennants and 4 World Series'.

See mommy LOVES the Yankees, and Daddy's a Dodgers guy (even though he really doesn't care about baseball) and there's been an ongoing debate in our house since I was in Mommy's belly about what team I will be a fan of. So far mommy's won, I have the whole Yankees outfit, I think she cares a little bit more deeply about it. But she says if Torre comes to LA we can make a compromise and root for the Dodgers at home but still watch the bombers on TV. I think that can work out great, because I'll get to watch live games. She's sad that a guy named A-rod is leaving NY though. At least it's not Jeter. Mommy loves Derek Jeter. She's also been mumbling about cursing the Red Sox again too. She really doesn't like those guys.

So we had a silly Sunday. I met mommy's friend Jennifer. We hung out and I got to play on the living room floor, which I never get to do. Me and mommy and daddy all took long naps yesterday too. We were lazy (sometimes lazy is okay). Then mommy stuck stickers all over my face. I looked silly. My forehead said "Rush Delivery." Then we played even more on the living room floor! Daddy fed me dinner too, I love spending extra time with him. He's usually so busy. It was a pretty cool day.

Well now we're gonna go read. Mommy said she's read me ALL my books today since I was such a good boy going to sleep last night, so I don't wanna delay that for another second! 5 Little Monkeys and Wockets in My Pockets here I come!

Pumpkin hunting

Today we went to the Lombardi Ranch Pumpkin Patch!


We picked out a pumpkin then daddy also surprised me with a baby pumpkin that was really little just like me!

Then we saw the big giant pumpkin and daddy took a picture of me and mommy in front of it. It was fun to see all the people and other kids, except the kid that stepped on mommy. He sucked. Then we saw the big giant pumpkin and daddy took a picture of me and mommy in front of it. It was fun to see all the people and other kids, except the kid that stepped on mommy. He was rude.

When we were are done daddy and I paid while mommy got us snow cones and popcorn. I wasn't allowed any popcorn but I did get to try a bite of daddy's snow cone. It was COLD! brrrrr!

Mommy said the it's usually much bigger there, but the fire hit them pretty badly.

Sorry I didn't get to post yesterday. Mommy gave me a whole bunch of these things called pots and pans and spoons and I was busy all night banging the drums! ;)

Well, I had a big day today Pumpkin hunting and shopping and everything, so I'll be back tomorrow. I get to meet one of mommy's friends Jennifer, so that should be a fun day too!

G'night.

I always pee in the bath...


So last night while I was taking my bath mommy was rinsing something out in the sink next to me and I grunted. When she looked over I was peeing in the front and bubbles were floating up from behind me. She found this rather hilarious. I felt as if I just was trying to enjoy my bath. I always pee in the the bath. It' just something I do. Mommy thinks today we should list some of the other funny things about me.

1. I love the taste of Johnson & Johnson Head to Toe Baby Wash. As soon as it's on my hands or feet or washcloth, they go straight into my mouth. Mommy says I'm silly. I say I'm smart for finding this secretly delightful snack.

2. I am a boy. I know this because about a month ago I found my boy parts. Since then every chance I get to touch them; baths, diaper changes (which can make quite a mess with the cream), doctor's exams, when my diaper is just loose enough to fit my hand down...I do. I grab them, squeeze them, and what looks like scratch them. But I am a boy, I assure you I have fully investigated this fact.

3. I poop when I eat. Every meal (solid foods). I eat about half my food then start going. I take bites in between pushes, and I will yell for these if I don't get them. It doesn't matter what time I eat either, mommy has tried to move my feeding up to a half an hour either way, I still poop when I eat. I like to work as one machine, things go out as things come in.

4. I am perpetually in motion. My hands, my feet, my head. When I'm eating, being changed, getting dressed. I wiggle. A LOT. Mommy says it's been like this since she was 5 months pregnant. I'm barely still when I am sleeping. It took mommy months to learn how to take an in focus picture of me.

5. I smile a lot but as soon as I see the red eye light on the camera, right before it snaps, I get this really serious look on my face to mess with mommy and daddy. I will smile a great big smile, and just as that shutter opens, I cowl instead.

6. I am obsessed with Coca Cola cans. If I see one I will stare at it and grab for it until I am allowed to check it out. No one will get any rest or peace until I am allowed to investigate one if its in sight.

7. I am also infatuated by our Statue of Liberty picture. Our living room has black and whites of New York and the one of the statue is my favorite. I have stared at it since I was a week old, and 6 months later I still love it. A clown could be juggling puppies in the living room and I wouldn't care if I could see the statue picture instead.

8. I bite. Just that. I bite. Hard.

9. I huff and puff when I want something or don't like something. It upsets daddy. Hey, I could always scream like some babies if he'd like that more.

10. I wake up and play in my bed in the middle of the night when they think I'm sleeping.

11. I am a professional splasher. I learned to splash in my first baths, at just a week or so old. I have perfected this art. I can soak anyone standing within 4 feet. I have my patented foot & hand simultaneous technique that could win medals.

12. I love Steppenwolf. They are neither mommy nor daddy's favorite band by a long shot. Not even their favorite genre. They don't mind them, just kinda ambivalent. But I LOVE their music. "Born To Be Wiiiild!"

13. I am good looking and I like to admire that fact in any mirror I can find. Maybe they should have named me Narcissus. If I am fussy in my crib and you show me my leapfrog mirror, it will instantly quiet me. I am hypnotized by my own beauty.

Well, I was born on the 13th, Mommy and Daddy were married on the 13th, and my late Grandpa's birthday was on the 13th too, so I think that's a pretty good number to leave it at for today.

See ya tomorrow!
