Day 130: Couch potato

Attention grandparents, especially you granddad! Do not overreact to this photo. I'm only watching 3 or 4 hours of TV a day these days, so nothing to worry about. Kidding! I'm not even sure if the TV was on when this was taken; I suspect maybe this is photographic trickery. But all that said - I do enjoy that shiny, noisy box with all the shapes and movements! I wish I knew how to operate it!

Day 129: New toys!

Got this new toy. I don't entirely know what it is, or what all's going on. It's a lot to digest, frankly. But the basic premise, so far as I can understand it, is that it bounces and rotates and makes noises all as part of some brilliant scheme to keep me entertained so that my mom can relax for a few minutes once or twice a day -- or at least maybe eat some lunch. Ha! Not if I have anything to do with that. Though I do sort of like the blinking lights and noises...

Day 128: Splish, splash

The best part of every night is bath time. The water is warm and fun to splash in. I just wish it was longer. As far as I'm concerned you could swap bath time with sleeping - and bathe for hours and just sleep for 15 minutes or so. That seems fine to me.

If you're doing some early Christmas shopping, I think I would like a jet ski.

Day 127: Staring contest

Pardon me, sir, can you please hand me that binky? I'm sort of stuck here.

Days 126 & 127: A glimpse into the future

Look, I'm standing! I do like to stand - and have some big fat thighs to hold me up - but some day, in the not too terribly distant future, I'll be able to do this without those hands.

You'll also notice that I have not abandoned the Mets, even though they are embarassing. And I got some new jeans.

Day 125: Baby dogs!

Look, it's a baby that's smaller than me! Also with much more hair. They call this baby a puppy and it's very cute. This one's name is Bode. He's only two weeks and he can't open his eyes. Mostly he just eats and sleeps. Like me, when I was littler but less furry. Except for the sleeping part.

Day 124: Baby yoga

I've been experimenting with the therapeutic benefits of yoga. It helps me relax. Also, I have this overpowering urge to play with my feet. I'm back home now and it's pretty nice out. Maybe that wicked summer is finally over. I wonder what comes after summer? A season where the sidewalks don't smell like pee would be nice.

You know how I celebrated being back in my own bed? By waking up 5 times! I blame the time difference. Oh, wait - there is no time difference?
