Philip was baptised on Sunday morning. He was a wonderful baby - he didn't cry at all. Except during the first song when the trumpets started really loudly!
Even for a 3 month old. Sometimes, you just gotta fudge your age a little bit on the voter registration forms in order to make sure your voice is heard. After I voted today, I vomited on Daddy.
These are a few pictures of us picking out a pumpkin for Halloween. Philip has really enjoyed being outside lately. Lately the weather has been a little cooler, and he looks surprised when the wind blows. It seems to take his breath away.
It has recently come to my attention that when my friends Amy and Kate came to visit Philip, we did not take any pictures of them with Philip. So, today, Philip told me he wanted to wear this outfit that they gave him to make up for it. Hope this works!
Thanks to Google, we are able to share a lot more pictures with you than we have previously been able to on the blog. Here is a link to a photo album where you can find dozens of pictures of Philip and pals:
When you go to this photo album, only 60 photos are shown at first. To see the remaining photos, click where prompted at the bottom left hand corner of the page.
For future reference, a link to this and other photo albums will be located in the 'Links' section of this blog (on the right hand side). We will continue to upload new pictures/photo albums as they become available.
Well, I got up early this morning with Dad to prepare for today's slate of college football games. While he was outside mowing the lawn (hopefully the last time for the year), I was watching the sports pundits debate this weeks matchups. Lee Corso is such an abhorrent ignoramus. He makes me nauseous. Anyway, Dad came inside, and we watched Arkansas demolish Auburn. It's a shame we couldn't have driven 45 minutes down I-85 to watch the bloodbath take place before our very eyes. Well, I need a nap before I get together with my friends and Dad for the Alabama kickoff. Roll Tide!
Philip has recently started smiling. We tried to get a picture of it, but haven't been able to get a really good one. Apparently he doesn't smile on demand!
This floor gym is Philip's new favorite thing. He will stare at the fish and mirror everytime we put him on it like they are brand new and exciting! He will smile and laugh almost everytime he sees them.
Today Philip and I went to visit his school. This is his teacher Mrs. Taluluh. We'll try to get a picture of his other teacher Mrs. Debra next time. Philip seemed to enjoy it today. We'll see what happens next week if I get brave enough to leave him!
Last night Philip was napping on the couch next to Nathan, and he startled and reached up and grabbed Nathan's hand. I know it was just a reflex, but it was probably one of the sweetest things I have ever seen. Glad the camera was on the coffee table within reach!
Whew! It was a long weekend for me, Mommy, and Daddy. I've been so tired that I couldn't find any energy to blog. The pediatrician said blogging can be a very strenuous activity for an infant.
After months of anticipation, I decided to arrive early. Well, it was really against my will. Some evil doctor gave Mommy some medicine that forced me out. Before that, he gave her some stuff called magnesium and it made me hot and tired. Then they poked and prodded me for half-an-hour in the nursery. I wonder if they knew that my Dad is a lawyer. I'll have to talk to him about filing a law suit over the hospital's invasive practices on babies. We could make it a class action.
Anyway, the surprise made my entrance into this world even more grand. All the nurses adored me. My Grandmas and Grandpas got to spend a lot of time with me. They're pretty cool. I'm going to be so spoiled.
I thought some of you might want to get a better feel for who I am and how I look. I think you'll enjoy this. After all, I am one good looking dude. Here's the video (Reminder for Great Aunt Barb - Check your bus schedule and then the clock before viewing):
And I'm sure he's planning on using it more than it's really needed (sigh). He has a digital camera and a lap top, too. A couple of more techno-devices and he could qualify for Japanese citizenship.
Well, I was almost born today. The doctor says I make Mommy's blood boil. Just wait until she sees what I have in store from her once I'm born. I plan making her blood pressure rise higher than Mount Popocatepetl. LOL! Anyway, the doctor sent Mommy and Daddy home empty handed. But the doctor said he'll force me out of here on August 14...and that's if I don't decide to come sooner! I'll just have to play it by placenta.
All this recent news is exciting, and I'm overwhelmed. I guess it would be a good idea to go ahead show you my new place, courtesy of Daddy's new camcorder. It's just about 100% completed. Check it out.
