Ludachristmas

Christmas eve, mom, dad and I spent doing family stuff. We pre-prepared for the Christmas feast, listened to Christmas music and dad made real eggnog with bourbon that I wasn't allowed to have any of. What? Christmas morning, I opened my Christmas gifts. I got lots of great things from all of you and from Santa! We celebrated the rest of Christmas at Uncle Elliot's. Dad cooked an array of non-traditional food items such as pad thai, pork dumplings and coconut shrimp. We all dressed up as gangstas and went by gangsta names. I was "T-Roola", dad was "The Notorious IOB", Elliot was "Mista Elliot" and mom was "Lil' Mama". Christmas Eve, I am wearing a blue sweater and my ascott, Christmas photos, I have on my Pjs and then my gangsta outfit. You were all missed and we love you all and can't wait to see you all for my birthday which is exactly 6 weeks away: but who's counting? Oh, and we got a new video converter from the Davilas, so be expecting some awesome older videos to be posted soon!

Miss Tardy 10 Months

So today I am 10.5 months old almost exactly. The half IS important. Anyways. I did take a picture with my elephant at exactly 10 months it just took me this long to post! Updates: I am crawling and cruising with speed. I can go up the stairs in under a minute and mom and dad are a bit slow on baby proofing so I have been getting into the trash and going through drawers when no one is looking. I like to talk a lot and mimic sounds. Here is some good footage of me in my new room on my beautiful alphabet blanket that Aunt Gloria made for me.

 

 

This is as close as we could get to a photo of me with 'Phant.

9 Months!

My dear readers. I am sorry I have neglected you. I realized it has been over a month since my last post. So I am 9 months old as of a few days ago. Mom is late posting my photos and they are pretty sill since I refuse to sit still. Also I have had a bit of a cold. Above are the two closest photos dad could get of me and one of them, I am crying. That's right. I am crying, unhappy, but still pretty dang cute!!

Eight Months

I

Check out these abs of steel. Don't be jealous.

   Okay people. Listen up. I am eight months old today and as you can see from my picture to the left here. I am the size of Godzilla. I also have 8 teeth and can tear you apart so don't mess with me OR my clan.
   Now that I have made myself heard, checkout someof my eight month photos.I especially like the ones with dad where I am trying to crush his head like a grape. Lately I have been inclined to scratch people with my raptor claws!
   It was almost impossible to get a photo of me today with 'Phant because I don't tolerate laying down. I only sit, scooch, walk, jump and sleep (which is technically not laying down.

Attack!

Me and 'Phant

Pulling on mom's hair is the best!!

Scoochin'

Lisa Comes to Visit Me!

Lisa said that she was coming to town for a wedding, but we all know the truth: she was coming to see me and how stinking cute I am. The wedding was a happy coincidence. I showed Lisa how I bite on things like her juicy fingers and she was really nice so I showed her how to use my jumper. It is not my fault she was too big for it. More jumping for me!!

Seven Months

Hi there all of my dear family and friends and blog fans. Yesterday I turned 7 months old. Dad said that months celebrations of my birthdays are not real birthdays. You know what I said to that?

You guessed it! Poo! I like to party and I am a social butterfly. So this last month has been a big one for me. I got three new teeth, which puts me at a grand total of 7 chompers. I have another one coming. I can feel it, it is just being a little stubborn. I like to eat food, but I prefer to feed myself as you can see from my post labeled "food". I use my many teeth to gnaw on things such as whole rice, beans, carrot sticks, apple slices and celery which is my favorite for teething-I just tear it apart! I am not really crawling yet, but I can move around quite a bit by rolling back and forth. I can sit up, but often I like to face plant or arch backward, so I can't be left by myself when I sit. I started to grab things with my "pinchers" which means I use just two fingers instead of my whole fist.  I also like to drop things and then see where they go! Mom and dad finally traded in their truck for a 4 door sedan so I finally get my own row of seating, plus we can go places as a family that are more than a half hour from Portland. Below is my 7 month shot with my elephant.

Date Night

I made arrangements for mom and dad to leave for a date night so I could have a "me" night. I had my friend Winnie over and we played with my mirror. We had an extremely existential conversation regarding whether our beliefs and purpose in life could be reflected in the mirror- as an adult, you might not understand.

Six Months!!

About 20 days ago I turned a half year old. Just now posting the photo!

Baby Weagle

 Mason Skye Valentine Weagle was born on July 27th. 7 lbs, 13.5 oz. 22 inches tall. Mom and I wen to visit him when he was only two days old and I got to hold hands with him. I was trying to comfort him because he was crying. That picture has yet to be released and probably will not be published here because I am pretty sure there is a rule against publishing unhappy pictures of babies. The pictures here are of Mason at 1 week. We brought the Weagles some Lamb stew, which is good for the breast milk. I am not sure what it does for those not lactating. Mason was about the same size as I was when I was born, but it is hard to believe I was ever that small!
