Singing and Swinging

I've got the greatest big brother. He entertains me at night when I go to bed. He lets me use his cool cars and trucks. He is always nice to me. Here are some pics of us having fun together. You can always tell how happy I am by how loud and long I sing. Joshua sings when he is happy too. Maybe one day I'll even sing with words!


Loon Lake from my perspective............






These pics are from my 2nd annual trip to Loon Lake (3rd if you count when I was invetro.)

I give the thumbs up to this camping trip. I pretty much have my run of the camp ground (which means I run, they follow), the food coolers are easy access for me, and I have tons of adoring cousin fans.

Because I was pretty cool about chillin' with my cousins, I didn't climb out of my pack-n-play, and I mostly stayed out of the roads, mom and dad said they would take me again.

I'll eat anything.......................







and I'll even sing for my supper. I love to sing. Sometimes I get distracted while singing when I see a round object. I then must stop and say, "Baahll!"

My Uncle Luke


Uncle Luke is just about to have a baby. Thus the decline of my pictures on his blog. Sigh. Here is a picture of Luke and his wife Meghann in Italy. Baby girl coming up any day. The race is on to see if Beth or Meghann's baby is #34. Luke really wants his girl to be #34 for basketball reasons. Unless Meghann went into labor on the mattress they were sleeping on outside last night, I think Beth will come out the winner of #34.

Luke has been hinting for a while that I post a picture of him. I was waiting to get the picture of him sans braces, but he hasn't sent me one yet. (I hear he sent everyone else one!) Doesn't he know I have Verizon too??!! This will have to do.

Happy Hollow

Here I am - very laid back and very cool. Check out my casual pose in my cool ride....... that's me in the police car.



Here I am a "Happy Fellow" at "Happy Hollow"!
My 1st Merry-Go-Round ride ever. I knew just
what to do!



4th of July!!!


Here's me and my dad checking out the 4th of July fireworks. It was great! I said, "Wow!" about 67 times!

WHY I BLOG

To tell you the truth, I blog because I am humble. This may sound funny to some, but to those of you who know me well, you know this is true. The fact is, I was noticing that I was pretty much taking over my family's blog and I thought to myself, "This just isn't right." My mom was out of control, posting this picture and that video and they were all of me! How fair is that? But to be fair to all, there will be plenty of me on this blog.

Just so you know, nobody accused me of being a family blog hog. I came to this conclusion on my own. So, like I just said, don't count on seeing me too often on my family blog - on that blog I'll go back to where I am most comfortable - just tagging along, grabbing discarded toys, and thrilled to be thrown a crumb now and then. But I am a blogger. This you will see.

4 other reasons I blog: I thought about my lovely sister, Anna, who does nothing but serve me day and night and here I am taking her spotlight again. She sings to me, she writes books about me, she even changes my diapers. Then there is my cool brother, Josh, who has made it his mission to teach me how to be a man. And what a fine specimen of a man he is. I was taking away precious photo space that could have been his and his alone. Not to mention my twin sisters, I mean CLAIRE and ELIZA (I mustn't lump them - they are two separate and distinct human beings) who have had to share since the minute they arrived. Not to mention all I owe to Eliza for teaching me the finer art of walking.

The final reason is because of my Dad. He has always said I was brilliant and that I was destined to do something smart-like based on my genius I.Q. (Yes, they already had me tested and I take courses at Sylvan, as well.)So, Dad, here's to you. I'm a blogger. Bloggers are smart-like.

Please feel free to comment on my photographs and thoughts anytime.

More Attack Footage

My first film, "Attack of the Luke" was originally posted on my family's blog. You won't want to miss that one.

My View on Things


I thought I should post this picture being that this has been my view for approximately 1/2 of my life - 12 hrs. a day. It is not a fantastic view, but interesting. I can see my sister Anna's top bunk and once in a while she surprises me and peeks over to talk to me (only when I am not supposed to be sleeping, of course). The fan is quite fascinating although it is hardly ever on. The mesh you see on the right of the picture is my crib tent. It has not yet been zipped but I suppose my mom wants to be prepared for when I make my debut climb down from Mt. Crib.

My latest "communinication" is when I am tired I lay down on the floor with my hands by my hips and wiggle like a fish. Mom used to laugh when I did that, but then she finally clued in. I want to go to bed! She seemed happy enough about that, as well. I think she thinks that I am such a cutie.

The Inside View


Here is a picture of my other view (1/2 my life) but the view is not important. I don't even care about dinosaurs or polka-dots, what matters is my SILKY!!!!!!! It is so beautiful, so precious, so dear to me. It is that little tiny blanket that has stars on it. I LOVE it so much - almost as much as mom.
Note from mom: I love Luke's silky as well. It has brought much peace and happiness to our lives. As well as much strife when missing.

More on my views....


There also is a gargantuan picture of my mom when she was little that hangs right above my bed. Not sure why that picture is hung there - I think it would look best in the living room - front and center. But it's good for saying, "Night-night" to. Every night when my Dad puts me to bed, he holds me up to this picture and says, "Goodnight Girl!" and I smile really big.
Funny how some things never change - she is still chubby, still wears those dresses that are made out of tablecloths, and she still tries to flip her hair. Very interesting Ma. Can we say stuck in the 70's?!

I'll feed myself, thank you very much!


I'm just trying to make things easier on everyone - no need to fuss over me, folks. I can do it myself! In fact, if you try to help me, I will swat your hand away and refuse to eat anything. I'll even scream and make dinner time miserable for everyone! Don't you go trying to give me a baby spoon either. I want the real deal and I want it now. I also want the WHOLE apple (not cut up either!) I'm only trying to be independent, love you fam. (Can you blame me with 4 older siblings who are always in my face!!!!) Ahem, my sweet, adoring, gentle brother and sisters.........

Mom's Note: I'm getting really sick of cleaning Luke's high chair. He also is known to find cantaloupe rinds, apple cores, or a diapers in the garbage (at the top when it is full) and start eating them (the food, not the diapers.) I threw out a rotten mango the other day - it was REALLY bad inside -black etc, only to find Mr. Luke chowing down on it. I guess it still had a good flavor? Right. I know Dad recommends very ripe fruit for babies, but this is probably not what he means

Woof Woof


Here I am reading in my home library wearing my favorite doggy "woof woof" pajamas. Everytime I see my pjs (in dryer, in drawer, on floor) I always have to let people know that dogs say, "woof woof". If I can ever manage to get out of the house (which is so rare because all of my siblings are so good about shutting the door everytime they exit or enter) I like to stroll over to the fence hoping that Rusty & Sam (our neighbor's dogs) will be out playing. They often come over to the fence to say "Hi" to me and there is nothing more exciting than that!
