I’ll be 6 weeks old tomorrow. yippee! This week we went for nice strolls in my park. I love to hold my head up. I don’t mean like bopping around like those other kids in the park do. I really hold my head up to check everything out. Don’t want to miss a thing.

Auntie Jojo came over and took some really great photos of my toes. Mommy likes to nibble on them and call me “baby tree monkey” because I like to curl my hands and feet up and cling onto her clothes. Ema came over yesterday and tried to give me that bottle thing again. Plahhhh! yuk! gimme the good stuff. I mean, do you really think I can’t tell the difference? Paleeze people. Who do you think you’re kidding?

So now I’m a big one month old and I found my hand! I’ve been munching on it nonstop, especially during tummy time. It’s a great excuse not to roll over. Hey Mom, I can’t roll right now, too busy chewing on this hand over here. There’s also another one that goes flying passed my face but I’m not sure where it keeps disappearing to. hmmmm…

Mommy said I was a stinky little tree monkey and needed a bath. I wasn’t too sure what to expect but it turned out to be really fun. She put this chair thingy in the shower and scrub-a-dubbed all my chubs. The heat lamp in the bathroom is great. Daddy took some photos and Mommy slathered some pretty smelling lotion on me so now I’m all cute again for Uncle Darren and Uncle Georgie to snuggle me.

As a thank you, I decided to give Mommy a nice present for her anniversary. She’s been asking me allllll month to pretty-please take a nice nap, so I did. I slept the entire rest of the day (10 hours) and let Mommy and Daddy watch their honeymoon videos in peace. zzzzzzzzzz

Happy Mommy’s Day!

We had a nice, quiet mother’s day at home. Nana and Grandpa came over for brunch and brought lots of yummies. I’ve still got this daytime nighttime thing mixed up. Mommy is hoping I sort it all out soon. She looks like she hasn’t slept in weeks! She’s so tired she dressed me up like a leprochaun thinking it’s St. Patty’s Day. Anyway, I’ve kept myself busy kicking around and making cute noises.

Aunt Meryl came to visit with my cousins Max and Alex. They won’t let me play RockBand with them yet even though I keep telling them I’m a great singer.

So we finally have something new at dogboy.org.

This site has transformed from Evan’s personal webspace to his family’s blog. There is still content archived. You can start your exploration of that at http://www.dogboy.org.

We plan on having plenty of baby pictures as well as updates on our life. Feel free to post comments, etc.

As part of this effort, I removed our old travel blog. It was way too spam-ridden.

For nerds out there, this is basically a Wordpress blog, with a tweaked custom theme. Most of our photos are now hosted on Picasa, but displayed in the blog via the fantastic Shashin plugin.  Spam is killed (hopefully) by Askimet.
