My very strange bath.

This was the day Mom and Dad took me down the street to the neighborhood bath. We washed around for about 20 minutes. I think it was about 20 minutes too long. The water was a lot colder than my home bath. It was nice getting to have Mom and Dad in the water with me though. At home my bathtub isn't big enough for anyone else but me. I don't know why anyone would want to take a bath outside, but we did. We didn't get too clean since they forgot to bring our soap.

The strangest thing was they made me wear these funny little pants in the water. I don't know the reason for this. Mom knows I like to pee in the bath and these pants made it impossible.

Asleep at the wheel

This is me in my jumper. My uncle Kris got this for me and I love it. I jump in it anytime I get a chance. Mom lets me jump almost every morning when she is getting ready for work.

I love it so much that I sometimes fall asleep in it. I was jumping one Saturday and then Dad didn't hear anything. This is what he found when he looked over at me. After Mom and Dad saw me, they were laughing so hard that they woke me up. I thought that was really rude. So I resumed my jumping and after about two more jumps I had bounced myself back to sleep.

I love my jumper so much and am so thankful that my Uncle got it for me. If I could talk I would say thank you. Until then you will have to settle for just reading it. Hopefully I can talk my Dad into making a video of me jumping for everyone to see.

Maisy

This is my puppy Maisy. She is trying to smell me. She does that a lot. Do I smell funny? Do I stink? I get in trouble sometimes when I pull her tail. I just want to play. I love my puppy.

Go Jackets!

This is my Uncle Justin. He plays football for the Calhoun Yellow Jackets. He is the big guy with the 61 on his shirt. I am a big fan of the Jackets. Well I was after my Mom and Dad told me I was. Before they told me I didn't know what football was and thought Yellow Jackets were what we wear when it is raining. It is real confusing though. On Friday nights I am a Jacket fan, but on Saturdays Mom and Dad yell some pretty bad things at the ones who play on the TV. They think I don't know what those words mean, but I do.

On Saturdays we cheer for a Bulldog team. I have never seen a Bulldog, but if they are as cute as my little Maisy, then I am a huge fan. Well, as huge a fan as a 5 Month old baby can be.

All this cheering can make a little guy tired. Here I am in this thing my Family calls "the pouch". I think they are really called a sling, but don't hold me to that. Remember I'm still a little baby. It is all warm and cozy. It reminds me of my first home.

Well, it is really passed my bed time and I need some rest. Congratulations on the Region Championship Justin and the rest of the Jackets and good luck in the Play-offs.

Go Jackets!

Now I am mad.

I went to see my doctor today. Everything was going great until I was stabbed. Not once but twice. I have a matching wound on my other leg. Mom said everything would be okay and it was good for me. I'm not real sure on this. Mom said everyone has to get shots, but I didn't see Mom get any. I don't think anything that hurts that bad can be good for you. I know now to keep my pants on the next time I go to the doctor.


Maybe I can talk Maisy in to being my bodyguard for my next visit.
What kind of world was I born into, that a 3 month old baby needs protection. Thanks a lot Mom and Dad. Do your job and don't let people with sharp objects around you baby. Is that too much to ask?

On a side note, they did give me some real cute band-aids.

Xbox. Does it get any better?

Well talk about awesome. This is something my Dad calls Xbox. Not real sure what that means but it is sweet. Dad can make the little guy on the screen move and fight. Here I am trying to help Dad move the little guy around. My only wish is that I had a controller small enough for my hands. I guess it will be okay. Dad is really good about moving where I tell him to. I do think Dad should let me be in charge of one of the buttons. It would only be fair.

I can do it myself Dad. Move you hands. Your turn is over. I'm going to tell Mom you are not sharing. Give me my turn or I will make a big stinky!

I called next Dad.

Attention all hot Ladies your dreams have been answered. You can start forming your line now. Mom says I look just like my daddy. If that is true, than I must be one SEXY beast.(at least according to my daddy) Families of Adairsville, lock up you daughters, because Fletcher Silvers is on the prowl.

Now all I have to do is learn how to hold this sexy pose, but I guess I have a little time to work on that. If you see a cuter baby, you hug it.

It is not easy being a baby.

Well everyone says it must be nice to be a baby. You get to sleep all day and doing nothing. Well let me just tell you something, it is not as easy as you would think.

This is something my Mom calls prop sitting. I just call it hard work. Does she not know I'm am just a little baby. HELLO, I should be held and cuddled. Not forces to do this hard work.

I thought this was bad, but I had no idea what was in store for me. The next event they had planned was even worse. .

Push-ups? Really? Who ever thought of a baby doing push ups. This is just crazy.

Day 2. . . . Does it get any easier?

Well if the process of being born was not hard enough, try playing hot potato with about a bazillion people and you are the potato. It wasn't too bad I guess. Mom assured me that know one would try to take me away.(I'm not so sure. Did you see the look in Nana and Gram's eyes) I guess it is hard to explain that day so check out my movie montage. Here are my memories of the day.

I hope you enjoyed this production.

How it all started.

Mom woke up dad early in the morning and told him it was time to go to the hospital. That is them and our Maisy getting ready to leave. Life as they knew it was about to end. That is our bathroom. Look close because it will probably never look that clean again. Mom went on a crazy cleaning spree just before I was born. She wanted me to have a clean house to come home to. After the photo it was time to grab the bags and head to the hospital.(My family over packed as usual) Dad just wants to be prepared for all situations.

Well after a long labor(around 22 hours), I finally show up at 8:37 PM on Friday May 30th, 2008.

I have many photos of after I was born to share with everyone, but I will show just a few of our favorites right now.

This is one of the first pictures taken of me. It is one of my Dad's favorites. I think because it is one of the first ones that I was not crying in. For some reason the nurse wanted to put her finger in my mouth. Not as tasty as one would think.



This one on the left is one of my Mom's favorite pictures from that day. I have some really crazy hair going on. I was real busy being born and didn't have time to fix my hair. Sorry guys.




This photo is of me being put on a scale. If I had known they were going to check my weight I would have worked out a little more before I got here. Well, I will know for next time. Those numbers are right. I was half an ounce from being 9 lbs. The doctors thought I was going to be a small baby. Maybe they were telling mom that so she wouldn't be so nervous.


The last photo is our first family photo. Well Maisy isn't in the photo, for some reason they will not allow puppies into the hospital. We tried to tell them that she was a service dog, but they were not buying it. Well that is my Mom and Dad. I'm the little guy in the blanket or as I like to call them "the baby straight jacket".


I guess that is all for now. I just thought I would share how it all got started. I know it was hard on my Mom, but I think it was well worth it. Sorry guys for all the trouble I have caused so far, but everything is getting easier.
