Brrrrrr! There is a big 'ol storm in Colorado. Fortunately Mommy listened to the weather report and brought me to New York with her. Poor Daddy is stuck in Colorado. Maybe it will stop snowing long enough for Daddy to catch an airplane.
Mommy didn't let me bring Marlo, she made me leave him behind. Hopefully Barb will feed him lots of carrots and sugar while I'm in New York!
Yesterday Grandma and Grandpa gave me a new Horse Marlo! Check out how cool he is! I had to grow a beard just to be as cool as he is!
We walked around the living room a lot. He isn't broken in yet, so I can't ride him... I don't want to get bucked off.
Today Mommy and Daddy Took me downtown on the Light Rail! It was lots of fun. Daddy was silly and brought the Graco Stroller, and it was almost too big to squeeze on the trolley and so he almost missed it.
Downtown was RoboMike, a weird robot with Orange Hair. (This is someone else's picture since Daddy didn't bring the camera.) I like the Orange Hair better.
At Barn's Noble we saw lots of great books! They had a mommy who kept telling her kid she was going to sell all his toys to a homeless kid. I tried asking her where the homeless kid would keep the toys since he didn't have a house... but she just started yelling at her kid for taking the train away from me. Poor kid. I love my mommy!
We also ate at Good Times, then bought a new travel stroller for travelling to New York next month.
I dressed up for the game and everything! But the tigers were defeated by a bunch of red birds.
:-(
So Vash and I are now living by ourselves. Snoop Dog and Bowdie have both gone to live in Kansas. Vash is a good dog and he lets me pet him and he doesn't bite me even when I pull his ears, honk his nose, and poke him in the eye.
It is lonely living here with just Vash. Sure there are still the Mommy and Daddy people around sometimes, but they don't roll around or dance like a lemur like Snoop Dog and Bowdie. Hopefully they will come to visit again one day. Or maybe I can buy an Alpaca for Christmas!!
At the Pumpkin Festival Saturday, I got to pet an Alpaca! Check this dude out! He is way way cooler than the silly doggies I live with. He is even bigger than the llama I got to see at the stable last month! He is so soft and fuzzy. Maybe Mommy and Daddy will buy me an Alpaca for christmas!
I could keep him in the garage and feed him dog treats and mangos (Mommy tried to feed me mangos, they tasted pretty gross, but I bet Alpacas would eat them if I hid them in my pocket for them.)
This alpaca is grumpy. I think it is because he has to smell cow farts all day. Apparently they are very bad for the environment.
Today mommy and daddy brought me to the Pumpkin festival! There was lots of pumpkins. I wanted to bring them all home, but they made me pick out only one.
I got to see a bald eagle, and an alpaca! They let me pet the alpaca, but the eagle was too scary to pet.
I also got to see lots of tractors!
Today I learned you should not grab the big green thing on the top of a pumpkin. OUCH, they have little pokies all over them!
Grandma Atch took me to kiss the Llamas at the stable where she was bording her horsies while in town!
Isn't the Llama cute! He thought I was really keen and he didn't spit on me or anything!
Maybe one day I can have an Alpaca ranch and I'll have one or two Llamas just for Llama Kisses.
Yaaaaar! Ahoy!
Now that me booty be ship shape, fetch me a Bottle o' Grog Milk Saucy Wench!
Yo Ho Ho!
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Saucy Wench decide 't be time fer me t' start eatin' more solid foods. So she cooked up some broccoli an' cauliflower really well an' cut 't into bite size pieces fer me. Then she would only give me yummy plums after I ate some broccoli. Broccoli feels really funny in yer bung hole, but th' plums be all worth 't.
Daddy brought me to the farmer's market the other day, we saw a bunch of big doggies and ladies who said "How Cute!" Daddy almost dumped me onto the ground when he put too many melons, corn and apples into the back of the chariot and it almost tipped over. Fortunately I was strapped in. Shhhhh, don't tell mommy.
Daddy got a new game the other day. It is called Lego Starwars. It is a cool game about this big brown chewey and hairy guy who goes around ripping peoples arms off. Lots of fun to watch. My favorite part is when the Imperial Death March plays... that is my favorite song right now.
Daddy even gave me a T-Shirt with the chewey hairy guy on it! Check it out!
Anyway, as you can see, I'm pretty White & Nerdy.
Here is a video of me learning to crawl! I have posed for better video of than this in the last couple weeks, but I guess Daddy has not gotten any of that on my computer yet.
Today I forced Daddy to sweep the kitchen. For some reason he didn't like me eating the old spinach, dog food, dirt clods, dog hair, dog biscuits, and other yummy things that were in the kitchen.
So this week I'm driving mommy crazy. I've been able to stand up in my crib for a while (this picture is kind of old, I have way more hair than this now)... but I learned that I can sit up and stand up right away and then if I keep crying mommy might come and tuck me in!
This seems most effective when I'm bored at about 2am. I've noticed Daddy never comes. Maybe if I scream loud enough he will come too?
Hopefully my teeth come in soon so I can sleep longer.
So I've started eating some of the same food that Daddy and Mommy eat! First, I had some cantelope (I think that is a deer from a can) that they got at the Farmer's Market. But this past Saturday they picked up a box of peaches heavier than I am! So they have let me eat slimy pieces of peach. They are very difficult to pick up, but they taste better than bananas.
My pal Vash and his little skinny friend Snoopy like to lick all the left over peach pieces off of me after Mommy puts me back on the floor.
Grandma Atch came to visit last weekend. She was lots of fun. They took me for a walk, shopping, and she played the Pop-Goes-The-Woozel game until she couldn't hold me any more!
She is doing Aztrek now, or soon will anyway, so she had to leave.
Aunt Jodi is coming tomorrow, so maybe she will bounce me around, or at least give me more chocolate pudding! Yum!
Before | After |
Mommy brings me to see Joshua every week or so. Joshua is only half my age, but he is already as big as I am! He cries a lot more, maybe that is because he eats too much? He doesn't do much, he can't roll around and sit up, but boy can that kid eat! He eats as much at one sitting as I eat in a whole day.
Joshua has an older brother Cole, and he likes to play with me, but he plays kind of rough. One day I want to be big like Cole so I can play video games too!
Anyway, I have a cold right now, so I might not be able to post for a few days. Mommy keeps putting drops up my nose and then sucking them up with a big blue horrible thing. I wish she would just let me be health again so I can feel better.
So I finally finished my DVD from week 15 to 18. Here is a video I put together of Mommy pushing me around the Lake. Don't get sea sick!!.
Jonah's Lake Stroll
Today I started eating oatmeal! Mommy ran out of that yummy rice cereal. At least it is yummy when she doesn't mix bananas with it. Bananas are kind of weird to eat, I much prefer sweet potatoes and peas.
Daddy gave me some granny smith apple, and I didn't like that very much. But I like the apple baby food mommy gives me.
Soon I'll have teeth and I'll be able to eat steak!
One day I'm going to be a real cowboy. I can't think of anyone who wears cooler clothes, and gets to play with doggies all day.
Hopefully daddy will buy me my own cow so I can practice rounding him up with my buddy Vash.
So here I am playing on the set of my first video. I still remember Yumi singing her song flawlessly, but Turtle and Octo kept forgetting their parts. It took me 24 weeks to finish editing it, and it seems like half my life. But it is hard to edit video when you can barely pick up Cherrios, let alone insert handles into the opacity to fade the title in and out...
Anyway, here is a link to Tararan / Cubismo Grafico Obrigado Mix. I hope you enjoy it!
This is Pam Barrett holding me at a barbecue at church. I dressed up in my cowboy gear, but it turned out to be more of a beach type barbecue than a Texas barbecue. Oh well, I learn as I live.
I've been really busy eating and smiling lately. I finally posted some pictures from my first trip to Vail. It was a really fun trip! I got to go through a tunnel, and stay in a condo, and roll around the lake, and as you can see, I got to go swimming!
I wasn't very splashy like the other kids, but it was fun meeting everyone and showing off my sun glasses! We met a family whose kids are starting school at the school by our house.
Well, I have to go smile at Vash now. Bye Bye!
So last night, mommy and daddy went to see Da Vinci's Cold with my grand parents... and left me with my nurse Aunt Jodi. We had lots of fun, but eventually I got hungry. First Jodi tried feeding my some of mommies milk from a bottle, but I didn't think it tasted quite right, and I told Jodi this quite loudly.
Next Jodi tried the Similac that mommy mixed up, but I really don't care for the taste, and I told her that.
Next Jodi checked out the Soy Milk, but this had a really big warning saying it wasn't an Infant Formula... while she was reading this, I suggested that she try feeding my that Chocolate Pudding that I saw daddy eat once before at Cold Stone.
Well, I'm back in Colorado again. Here you can see my riding my trusty steed Vash around the living room looking for bandits to vanquish.
I'm afraid Vash would prefer to lick my face than be a steed, but he makes a good war horse since he can kill the enemy with his breath.
INCREDIBLE OFFER!! You can help me save money for a Wii for Christmas and make yourself $25 in the process! Contact me or my daddy if you would like a referal for an Ing Direct savings account. They pay 4.15% currently, and if you open a new account with at least $250.00 and a referal from me, you get $25 for your trouble! (And I get $10 to help buy a Wii.) Daddy and Mommy opened an account right after I was born, but they didn't know they could get $25 free if they found someone to refer them.
I wonder if Vash can open a savings account? He could use the $25 to buy a saddle, and I could use my $10 to buy spurs to make him go faster.
