For Kicks

Mom keeps telling me I can go swimming some time, but not while I still have a cold. Meantime, she let's me practice on the carpet.

Rolling Along

Dad said this is an homage to Eisenstein; Mom said it reminded her of someone's old 8-mm family movie. You decide.

A Stroll in the Park with Mom and Dad

Today I went for a stroll in Laurelhurst Park with Mom and Dad. We saw ducks sleeping and dogs running amok. Good for the dogs and the ducks! I am drooling a lot because I am teething. It's a really nice sunny day here.

Dad just told me our Patriots picked Jerod Mayo with their first round pick - great name, anyway! And they do need a linebacker, for sure.

Pears Today ...

Mom let me eat pear mush tonight. Not bad. Dad played The Replacements' "Stink" for me on the way home from daycare today. There's a great Paul Westerberg solo demo called "You're Getting Married" on there.

And the doctor gave me a clean bill of health. I'm 15 pounds, 27 inches in my stocking feet.

Bath Time

I like a good bath; it gives me time to catch up on my reading.

Dad read to me today from Fear of Physics by Lawrence Krauss, about how it can be useful and interesting to think about a cow as if it were a round balloon (what Dad calls a sphere).

We are all sick again. I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow, not because I'm sick; but because I'm having more vaccines (ouch!).

This weekend I ate bananas.

Sweet Potatoes

They've been feeding me sweet potato mush - it's orange and really good. Mom says this weekend I'm going to get bananas and pears.

And next week Dad said he's going to take me to the Ringside for steak, onion rings, salad, and a shrimp cocktail.

More Photos from the Beach Trip

Here are some more photos from last weekend's trip to the Oregon coast; thanks to the photographer, my friend Jenny.
