Ok so my parent’s have been slacking a bit. Actually, my Mommy has been writing for me, and I have kept her pretty busy. I like to sleep at night (which my Mommy and daddy like too) but then I decided to spend much more time awake during the day…and I want to be played with, fed, changed, rocked, held, and played with some more! My Mommy says that I am doing so good with my “tummy time”. I don’t see how it is that hard to lay on my tummy and hold up my head, but when I do that my Mommy gets so excited and tells me how strong I am getting. I sure do like it when Mommy give me praise and encouragement.

This evening, I went with my Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma CC to the Kenosha Civic Parade Comittee meeting. I don’t know what exactly a parade is yet, but from what I have heard, it sounds like fun! My Daddy wants to share a funny story about the meeting. My grandma was holding me (after she fed me…she sure is nice to me) and I was relaxed and then I farted…loudly. Daddy was so proud of me that we did a high and low 5! I guess that is a good thing. I was so happy that I did it again! I rumbled the table! Grandma and Mommy and everyone else was shocked at the noises that I make! Ha Ha Ha.

Hello all. It has been so cold here in Wisconsin, that I have been indoors for days. However, that’s ok with me! I have my Mommy, and Daddy, and Panda Cat and Gizmo Cat to play with and keep me company. I also have visitors too! Today my own family pharmacist came to visit – Chung Mel! She held me and fed me. She is very nice. She also brought my Mommy food! Mac n Cheese and a rice krispie treat from Noodles…the same “real” first meal Mommy had after I was born (Mommy’s friends Erin and Hollie brought/ smuggled it in to her!)

Well, gotta go keep warm,

Until next time,

Well I am a month old today! Happy 1 month Birthday to me! Mommy and Daddy took lots of pictures of me today. I have pictures of me playing the piano (sitting on Mommy’s lap), hanging out in a violin case with a violin (Mommy can’t wait for me to start my lessons with Grandma CC) and then Daddy wanted one of my heritage…that’s the one with the camera (Japanese roots)

Daddy stayed home with me and Mommy all day today. It was great. I had my pick of parents when I wanted attention, or to be held, or fed, or changed, or to be played with. They are lots of fun.

Daddy finally got off his lazy bum and posted my most recent photos. Enjoy them all!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! So I watched the game with my Mommy, Daddy, Grandma CC and Uncle Jimmy. Actually I slept through most of the game and ate through the rest of it. I didn’t find the game too exciting. I did like the big screen and the bright colors though. And Mommy and Grandma laughed real hard at the mouse commercial. Mommy put me in a Super Bowl outfit. Once again, I think I looked cute! It was blue and had a little football on it.  (In case anyone was wondering what I was wearing yesterday)

So my Daddy has a new nickname for me. He calls me the “Fart-o-Matic 2007”. He smiles and giggles at me when he says it, so it must be a nice name. Although Mommy doesn’t call me that. She calls me “her little man” or “her big boy” or “little peanut” or some other names. I think that her names are nicer than the one my Daddy uses, but I still love them both lots.

Well, I am all wore out from the excitement of the game..ok actually the commercials were better.

Later Gater

As you can see, I have updated my website. Actually, my Daddy did it…but I told him to! I think it looks much more cool. I like the pictures of me on the top of the site, and even the photo albums were redone.

Speaking of photos…I am working on making my Daddy put up my more recent photos. Every time we go out somewhere, everyone says how cute I am…and I need to have my most recent photos uploaded to validate those comments.

I am ready for my bath…again with the cleaning. I am still irritated that my sister and brother Panda Cat and Gizmo Cat have managed to escape the bath time ritual. They should get cleaned too!

Off to bed…gotta get my z’s!

I am now 4 weeks old. While I think this is a great milestone in my life, it also meant that I had to go back and see my doctor – Dr. Amy. She is very nice and good to me, so I don’t mind too much. And guess what? I grew another inch. I now weigh 9 pounds 13 ounces and am 21 3/4 inches long! Yeah Alex!

Later in the evening, I met my first Greek friends. My mommy’s (and daddy’s) friend Diane came to visit with her mommy. They are very nice and funny too! My Grandma CC also came over with a new friend Dr. Carolyn Newton. We all had Infusino’s (mommy’s favorite) I like Infusino’s too…I mean, Mommy has been feeding it to me for months and months! For desert, they had an special apple pie baked in a bag. I guess I will get to taste that later.

After all my guests left, I decided to have a melt down on Daddy. I enjoy doing that to him. I was so upset – wanting to be both changed and fed at the same exact moment. I guess my Daddy wasn’t moving fast enough, because Panda Cat not only tried to climb up his leg…she took a bite of him. Well ok maybe it was more of a nip, but I am still saying that my Panda Cat Sister bit my Daddy. She didn’t want me to be upset! I think that in the future when I am older and can do much more fun stuff, Panda Cat and I will become good friends

Off to bed for me now – chat more later

Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit! My Mommy said that is what you are supposed to say on the first day of the month. She tried to explain to me that her Grandma Hi-Baby taught that to my Mommy and my Auntie Sparky. It is supposed to be the first words that you say at the beginning of the month, and if you do that then you won’t fight with that person the entire month! Sounds good to me!

Today I also met my neighbors. They were nice. I also had another bath. Again I want to point out how unfair life in my house can be. Panda Cat and Gizmo Cat still haven’t had a bath and I have now had 3! What is wrong with my parents? It is not possible to be that dirty…although I don’t really mind getting wet. It is the principal of the matter now!

Wow it is the last day of January. (Mommy told me that) I am almost a month old! It seems like only yesterday when I was nice and cozy and warm inside of my Mommy’s tummy. Then Daddy had me evicted. Well today I had lunch with Granny Gayle, Grandma CC, Granny Gayle’s friend Kris, and Dr. Lynch and of course my Mommy. We went to a new place called Panera’s. Mommy and Granny Gayle wanted to go to the Olive Garden, but somehow that hasn’t happened.

After lunch, I didn’t do anything exciting. Just the usual, ESP (you know eat, sleep and poop)

Will write more tomorrow

Hello all. Today I had fun with Mommy and Grandma CC. We went to a place called Olive Garden. Mommy was upset that they got rid of her favorite meal. (It was also my favorite meal too) No more garlic con chicken broccoli. Then we went to this gigantic place called Sam’s Club. Mommy got me enough diapers for a few weeks (maybe) and a huge box of diaper wipes too! Yeah. All was going so well until Mommy and Daddy decided that I needed another bath. Again I ask what is with their obsession about getting me wet? I still maintain that Panda Cat and Gizmo Cat need to be bathed too. This isn’t fair!

I am off to go dry myself, until tomorrow

So my Daddy did it again. He left me alone all day with Mommy. Mommy says that he went to work. I am not sure exactly what that means, but Daddy did come back. Mommy and I had fun. We hung out all day and did nothing special, but had a good time anyways. For diner, Grandma CC came over and brought a new food…Chinese! I am not sure if I like it or not…I’ll get back to all of you on that later.

Well, off to bed – gotta get my 15 hours in.
