calling all agents ...

dad keeps stressing the importance of saving for the future
and i believe that i am starting to buy into his rhetoric

but to really get the old man off my back
i need to generate some earned income

after conducting some serious soul searching
and exploring the color of my parachute
i have decided to try my hand at acting

with that goal in mind i present the following images
please witness my abilities to ...
  • make a ridiculous costume look good
  • react to off-screen action
  • perfect my al bundy impersonation
thank you in advance to anybody who can get my head-shots
to somebody in the biz













no place i rather be ...

i am not sure what it is about my changing table

maybe it's the view of the swaying oaks
through the skylight above
perhaps it is the reaction i get from mom
when she is not quite fast enough with the new diaper

whatever the reason, it is most definitely ...
my happy place

the difference a few hours makes ...

for those who have not been keeping track ...

i am one month old today

as a sign of my maturity i played it cool this morning
letting mom and dad cook and enjoy a real breakfast
as i explored my activity mat

i was less accommodating when it came to
posing for a few "birthday" pictures
i did not want to set the precedent
that i will be willing to go through this every 30 days

thankfully i was able to end the day on positive note
doing the skypes with aunt julie












































playing favorites ...

for the linguistically challenged
it is very nice when your wardrobe
can convey your maternal devotion

with dad ... affection is expressed
in more primal means

my ability to quietly swing has pleased mom
dad is more impressed by my dr. evil impersonation

a little tummy time ...

mom thought it would be fun
if we mixed it up a little bit today

i don't mind the whole "on my front" thing

i just wish the parental units would figure out
which end the socks go on

a significant milestone ...

i turned three weeks last thursday
but they say that i am being cute
at a six-week level

and you haven't even seen my faux-hawk
nor my milk moustache

hawk-i-am ...

i believe these images speak for themselves
all you need to know is that they were taken
as dad and i prepared to watch IOWA
demoralize georgia tech in the orange bowl

good times ...

did you miss me ...


sorry to be tardy to the party

things are pretty busy around here ... the grahamparents have been in town ... mom, dad and i have been focusing on letting them spoil us

what a week ...

greetings all
i know ... it's been a while since i typed at ya
but things have been kinda busy on my end

to catch you up ...


we spent a few extra days in the hospital nursery
the doctors said that they would have liked to discharge me earlier
but were afraid of how it might impact the newborn ladies
they seemed to be quite fond of my company
while i will admit that i might have developed a taste for younger ladies
it is the nurses that i will miss more
i big thank you goes out to the angels of the 4th floor
for all the time and care you gave to me and the 'rents














speaking of the nursery ... here are a few shots of us enjoying our extended stay




you can't imagine how great it has been to trade the harsh, artificial lighting of the nursery for the natural light of our pastoral home ... remind me to post a pic of the skylight over my changing table ... there is nothing like having someone dispose of your excrement while lazily gazing at the wind-blown oaks


















i don't intend to seem ungrateful but ...

i really do miss my sleek, modern sleeping arrangements
check out all that acrylic and steel [right photo]

here is what they have me sleeping in at home
sure ... it is comfy and warm [left photo]

but lily white ruffles ... really ?
i am not even going to comment
on the balloon-bearing bears

note: the penguin sticker was a present from a nurse
and an attempt to recruit me to root for pittsburgh



you might have noticed the socks on my hands
please do not worry ... mom and dad do know how to dress me

it is merely an effective, preventative measure
to ensure that i do not scratch my face ... between manicure sessions
