It's been hot lately. I mean REALLY hot. We're talking upper 90's, no air conditioning, really humid hot. But alas, my only recourse was to sleep in my manties. My manties and some mittens. The mittens are more for my own protection so as to not scratch up my beautiful face.

Anyway, lots going on. We're in the middle of a move within Alameda (photos to follow), mom's going freelance, dad's just, well, he's just being himself.

Take care and see you soon!

Mom and dad went to dinner, but that's ok, cause I had a date with Billie. The thing is, Billie's parents, Jakki and Andy, were around all night and all they would let us do is watch tv and have a farting contest. Here is the Billster letting one loose and we're having a good laugh over it. Oh, it was a grand old evening, good clean fun.



Ok, now it's my turn to let 'er rip. Man, I haven't laughed this hard in my life. That's saying a lot considering I'm just over 3 months old.



Billie didn't want to watch Project Runway, she wanted to watch Meerkat Manor. So we got into a little tussle over the remote control.

Yup, it's been a while. No real explanation for it. You may or may not know this, but my dad is extremely lazy. He says he's a procrastinator, but I've realized that he's lazy. But not too lazy for him to take mom and me to a baby shower/welcome home party for my new friend, Otto. My dad forgot to take any pictures of Otto and me, but at least he got a nice picture of me laying on a colorful blanket.




Mom and dad brought me to meet their former neighbors from the Noe Valley days. Here I am being held by Nate, with beautiful little Saskia and Mary. We met at a Mexican restaurant in Berkeley. It was fun cause this place has tons of kids so I could cry out if I wanted to.



We went for a walk the other day. I'm getting big enough to fit comfortably in the baby bjorn. Here's a close up of me. Check out my hat, pretty cool, huh?



So here's me and my dad and you can see the whole rig. I like to think that the "D" on the cap is an homage to me, but I think it might have something to do with my dad's hometown heroes, the Dodgers.



One more shot before we hit the road.



Here I am with Grandma Carolyn. She babysat me while my folks went out for a few cocktails. I got tired waiting for them to leave, so I passed out on Grandma's lap. Can you believe that I weigh over 13 pounds? Yup, it's true, I'm gettin' BIG!

Usually I'm a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. But there are times I can be a good ole Mr. Crankypants. Just like my dad.



Here's a video that my mom took of me. I have a lot to say and I need to spread the word. What that word is, well, that's open to interpretation.

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July! My dad keeps singing the same lyrics to me over and over. It's a catchy tune, but, enough's enough. Oh, and he keeps saying, "Happy Birthday, America!". I'm having a hard time understanding most of the things he says. I think he has a hard time understanding me babble too, so I guess it all works out.

On Sunday, we went to a bbq at Stephanie and Matt's house. Here's Sophia posing next to my bald head (her brother, Aidan, was off taking a nap).



Here I am with Katherine, aka Kitty B. Last time I saw her, I was around 7 pounds. Now I'm over 12!



And here I am with Sophia's mom, Stephanie. I'm tiny compared to the twins!



The next day, mom and dad took me to Santa Cruz. We had dinner at an Italian restaurant and everyone kept checking me out. Here I am with mom.



Here I am with my dad. He's good at hamming it up for the camera.



This picture was taken at about 4:00AM. Evidently my parents didn't realize that there is a 4:00AM, so I had to show them by waking up and demanding that they take me home. I had enough of Santa Cruz for one day.



We got home fairly quickly. Here is my dad multi-tasking. Feeding me, holding me and checking e-mail. What a guy.



Billie came over today. Her parents, Jakki and Andy, stopped by to have a picnic in our backyard with my folks. It was a nice day out, so we got a little sun. Well, as much sun as anyone can get in the shade of a tree.



Oh yea, playin' it cool on a lazy summer afteroon.



Wait a minute. How does Billie have more hair than me? I gots to get on the Rogaine train!



Hope you all have a good 4th of July!

Oh come on...the cops are pulling ME over?



License and registration? No, I don't think you understand, officer, I left my license in my other outfit. As for registration, see, here's the deal: my dad JUST bought this car and, well, he doesn't have the registration yet. I mean, he just went to DMV the other day to settle this registration problem.



Yes, officer. This vehicle is a 1986 Volvo DL 240. That's right, 4 cyclinders of pure power. What's that? Well, the odometer stopped working at about 236,000 miles, but I think there's about 240,000 or so. You're going to let me go with a warning? Wow, thanks officer!



On another note, I had another visitor today. Rebecca came by today to give me a test drive, I mean, test hold today. It was fun.



Enjoy my this episode's video. If you look closely (or watch it slowly), you can see my dimples. Bon apetit!
