My Manhood

Well what do you know... not only can I feel, but also I can actually see him now.  So that's what I've been yanking on these past few months.  Well, there's nothing better to do now than to relieve myself onto the carpet.

Have a wonderful day!

Leash Laws

Is this okay?  What I mean is, can Daddy just tie me to a dog lead while he goes inside to eat a snack or take a nap?  Seriously, I don't know what the answer is on this one.  In some way I feel this is a bit cruel.  Onyx isn't even a big fan of his line and he's a dog.  Then again, it's a great way to get some fresh air and it keeps me from running out into traffic and stuff.  Still, there must be at least one violation going on here.  Mommy, did you know about this?  I think all your hidden spy cameras are inside, aren't they.  Is this something I can Google: child leash laws?  Think about it: I'm strapped to a highchair and car seat and kept behind bars when I'm sleeping.  That's why I feel that maybe Daddy isn't breaking any laws per se.  He's only breaking good daddy etiquette.  Perhaps someone should contact the authorities.  Let me know if they say that it's okay to leave your child tied up like the common dog.  Then after you make the call...

Have a great weekend!

Mall Rat

Yesterday morning was cold and rainy so Daddy took me to the mall to get some exercise.  This was the first time I was allowed to get out of my stroller and roam around on my own.  I wasn't allowed to get out before I started walking because Mommy and Daddy thought I'd crawl around and lick the dirty floors.  They were probably right.  Things are different now, though, and I can really strut my stuff.  If the weather is giving you the blues, I recommend taking a stroll at your local mall.  I enjoyed walking around with the senior citizens of the community.  They were impressed with my abilities and watched me shake my head "no" and walk in the opposite direction as Daddy attempted to coax me to keep up with him.  I managed to walk almost the entire length of the mall and back.  If I include my attempt to visit every store along the way (twice) then this is certainly the longest walk I've ever had.  Also there for my enjoyment were kiddy rides that included a play car and fire truck.  They had flashing lights and steering wheels.  What more could I ask for?  There was also a real CAT tractor parked in the middle of the mall.  I tried to loosen the nuts to take the wheels off but I had forgotten my tools.  Best of all, I was allowed to repeatedly yell "da!" at the top of my lungs without being shushed.  Instead, everyone smiled at me and told me how cute I was.  I'd yell "da!" in return, acknowledging what I already knew.  It was quite an adventure and a great way to stretch out my legs.  Needless to say, I had a very nice and long afternoon nap.

Self-Sufficient

I'm starting to get good at doing things for myself.  I realize now that if you want something done right and ASAP then you had better do it yourself.  How am I learning such a valuable life lesson at such a young age?  If you want an answer then have my daddy and Onyx take care of you for a day.  Communicating a need to them is like pushing teeth through gum tissue.  It's a slow and painful process.  That reminds me- I am now the proud owner of an exposed gigantic molar (and I thought my other teeth hurt a lot coming in).  Anyway, if I want to feed myself and do it my way then I have to be proficient with a spoon.  Proficiency obtained?  Check.

Sure, I'm a mess with the spoon but I get the job done.  My tummy is full and I really don't care if I am cleaned up or not (although oatmeal up the nostril makes it a little difficult to breathe).  Okay, now I'm ready to go outside and play.  Daddy, you and Onyx can stay inside if you like.  I can find my own way out.  I better put my shoes on first.

Fourteen Months

 

Who is back by popular demand?  Me, Matthew.  It's been a few weeks since I've posted to my blog, but as you can see from the picture above I have grown and now carry myself in a more mature and serious manner.  It's time to let my gentleman-like poses illustrate my new keen and astute approach to the world. 
 

So what's new in your life?... yeah, yeah, sounds great.  It's back to me again.  My vacation was wonderful and it offered a great chance to sit back and relax.  However, I did not take the vacation up on that offer and I'm still worn out from all the fun I had.  I was a very happy camper at the beach.

I've been walking a lot more lately.  It is now my primary means of transportation.  Walking on the sand at the beach was a great challenge, but I eventually got the hang of it.

The biggest news from my time off comes from yesterday.  I have a new baby cousin!  Lydia is my newest first cousin.  That makes eight of us, one shy of fielding a first cousin starting lineup.

I have yet to decide when and how often I'll post to this blog.  I'll probably post anywhere from daily to once a year.  I'll be sure to keep you "posted."  Hah!  Get it?  Okay, bye now.
