Month 2
September 2002
Hey, I'm finally getting out of the house
for a change.  Sure, I still like to take in
a nap or six during the day but I've
already been to a couple restaurants, a
few parks and even our neighborhood
swimming pool.  Somebody stop me!!!
Here I am grabbing a few z's while my sister
Zoe busts into one of her Nick Jr. tapes
featuring some dude named Little Bill. Wake
me up when The Little Ryan Show begins.
Now don't you just hate this?  You're trying to
relax a little bit and some fool has to pull up
your blankie and tickle your feet.  For the love
of god, people, can I just take a nap here?
One day, the whole family decided to bust out and hit our
neighborhood pool. Here are mom and Zobo dipping their toes
into the pool.  I can't wait until I'm old enough to go in.
Of course, I pretty much had to watch from afar.  In fact, I
pretty much just watched dad watch from afar.  And how cool
is it that I know the word "afar" at age 7 weeks and 3 days?
"Holy cow, did you see that babe in the bright green
swimming suit, dad?  Huh?  That's my sister?  Really?  Wow,
my bad. Sorry Zobo--keep up the good work, sis.  Love ya!"
"Um dad, why do you keep staring at me?  Did I say something
wrong?  Do I have something in my teeth?  A little action in my
nose?  Talk to me, pal--you're making me nervous."
One night my Great Gramma Crissy called and wanted to see
what I look like.  Dad poked me a couple of times to get me to
open my eyes and this is the result.  Check out those cheeks.
Mom and I are the best of buds.  I'm her mellow little snuggle
bunny and she's my human refrigerator.  It's an odd little
arrangement we have but it works for both of us.
Here I am enjoying a little fine dining at
one of our local favorites, Pho Bac.
Ok...fine...I sleep a lot.  What can I
say? When you're 95 percentile on
height, you need to get your rest.  Dad
says that I've somehow managed to
sleep more in two months than Zoe did
in two years--and trust me, he's not
complaining.  I'm sure I'll pull it together
and start terrorizing the place in fairly
short order. Until then, I'm going back
to bed.  See you next month.
