Yummy!

I am back on the food and it's going great friends. I love sweet potatoes and this time it's a mutual feeling. Today I am going to try carrots again. Here's a picture of me from last night. I was playing on my mat with Mommy while Daddy prepped my dinner.

Weekend Wonders

Friends I hope you had a great weekend because I sure did. On Friday I wore my first pair of jeans. Mommy says they make me look like a little man. It's so much fun to scratch my nails on the fabric because it makes a funny sound. During the day Saturday Mommy, Daddy and I ran errands and had a lot of fun family time.

Saturday night was a big night for me. I wore pajamas for the first time and I had my first slumber party! We went over to our neighbor's house for dinner. My neighbor Sam is 16 months old and he's so cool. While Mommy and Daddy ate dinner I got to sleep in an extra crib in Sam's room. I was having so much fun that I gave Daddy a mean look when he took me home to finish sleeping the night away in my own crib.

My Saints played on Sunday. Mommy, Daddy and I met some other Who Dats at a sports pub to watch the game. I had so much fun because no one there cared when I cheered.... even if it was really, really loud. It was a lot of fun because there were other Saints fans there and no 49ers fans.

I was having a small growth spurt this weekend because during the game I wanted a bottle every single hour. What can I say, some guys like to drink when they watch football. Uncle Joe and Mommy's friend Ms. Belinda got in on the fun and helped me cheer during the game. I bet Uncle Joe that I could cheer louder than he could and trust me I won.

The best part of Sunday was when the Saints won! I was so happy that I gave Ms. Belinda a big smooch. What an exciting weekend!

Food For Thought

After a three week hiatus, I'm going back to baby food friends. I really hope that it doesn't hurt my tummy this time. I ate sweet potatoes last night and they were just as delicious as I remember them. Keep your fingers crossed that the stomach pains don't come back.

I'm looking forward to the weekend. My Mommy and Daddy are both off from work and we have so many fun things planned. We are going to play at our neighbors house on Saturday and then on Sunday we are going to go watch the Saints play. Go Saints!!!

Love, V

Fall Fashion

The weather is getting cooler and that means a whole new world of clothes for a little baby like me. Every day my Mommy and Daddy make sure I'm wearing shorts or pants on my little legs and I get to wear socks too. It's super fun to play with shorts or pants on because I can try to crawl out of them.

Mommy has nipped that in the bud by putting me in overalls for the past two days. They're pretty cool and all the teachers at school say they are precious. School is going really well. Usually there are just 3 of us boys and one girl in my class. In October I will get to take my first school picture. Mommy says she can't wait to meet the magician photographer who is going to get me to keep my eyes open after the flash goes off. She says she has a million pictures of me with my eyes closed.

I was having a little bit of a lazy morning today. I did not want to leave my warm little crib. Mommy had to wake me up anyway so that I wouldn't be late for school. Here's a picture of me still looking sleepy even after I got dressed for school. Who doesn't love to sleep in? Mommy hopes I'll feel the same way on Saturday morning when she gets a chance to sleep in.


Friends I hope you have a great day. I'm all bundled up and going to school. Enjoy the fall weather.

Mission Possible

I was up to some funny crib antics last night friends. Mommy and Daddy put me to bed but I had other things in mind. I managed to break loose from my velcroed swaddler blanket. When Mommy and Daddy looked at the video screen on my monitor I was a blur of creeping baby looking straight into the camera and making my move. But that was not the end. Mommy and Daddy heard a plastic crinkling noise and thought I was joining a nudist colony by taking off my diaper. But to their surprise I had untied several staps on the bumper pad and was crinkling the plastic tag. I have so many tricks up my sleeve! Here's a picture of me in my crib this morning, refreshed and ready for another day of mischief.

Cruising to Carolina

Mommy and I went on a roadtrip this weekend. We drove to Charlotte to visit some of Mommy and Daddy's friends there. Even though I am still not a fan of car rides, this was well worth the trip. We stayed with my Aunt Jen. She has the sweetest dog Princess. Every time I sounded even the least bit unhappy she barked at Mommy and Aunt Jen. She was really looking out for me!

Aunt Jen has carpet and I decided that I love, love, love carpet. I got to practice my crawling skills. I'm going to figure that crawling thing out one of these days friends. Our visit to Charlotte was very social. We vent out for lunch with Ms. Latoya and then we went to a women's expo. I was in my glory. It was a building filled with ladies all commenting on how cute I am.

Mommy and Aunt Jen had to improvise to make sure I still got my bath while on vacation. I got to put my hiney in Aunt Jen's sink! He he he, it was so funny. Here's a picture of me scrubbing up in the sink. There's a carefully placed towel because this is a G-rated blog. Mommy was laughing when she took this picture. She said she can't wait to show this picture to my prom date. I'm not sure what that means, but I know it's not good!

It was a little chilly in Charlotte this weekend. Fall is finally here! I got to wear my first pair of socks. Socks are so fascinating. I tasted them when I put my feet in my mouth. They are much more fuzzy than just plain old toes. Mommy says this is another picture that will make me groan when I get older.

On Sunday Aunt Jen had a brunch for my big Charlotte debut. Alison, Bronson and Molly were all there to hold me and play with me. It was so exciting that I threw up on Mommy! Thankfully everyone thought that was funny and laughed... phew that could have been embarrassing. Here's a picture of me and my Aunt Jen. I am so thankful that Mommy and Daddy have such nice friends and they are only a 3 hour drive away.

You Win Some You Lose Some

Friends I'm still reeling from the Saints football game yesterday. I can't believe that we lost! Mommy and I met up with some friends to watch the game. I loved it. It was the perfect storm of fun. There were lots of tv screens, lots of noise and best of all lots of people who wanted to hold me. Here's a picture of me and my friend Drew watching the game. But make no mistake, yesterday he was my enemy because he's a Redskins fan and they beat us.

Love, V
