Happy Birthdays!


It has been a few days since my last entry, life has been pretty quiet around here. Dad went to New York City to visit his ND friends so I thought I'd wear my special ND shirt for them. A big thank you to Colleen for the t-shirt, it shows off all my "muscles." :)
I'm starting to get the suspicion that Pops is trying to influence my thinking. For example, Daddy has made it a point to say that I can go to any college I want to. I think however that he mumbled something about how the selection of a certain school in Indiana will get me a car sooner than certain other educational options. Also, I'm sure all universities have fight songs, but it seems like only one is ever played in the house. All the time. It may be strictly coincidence, but Dad dresses up like a leprechaun whenever he puts me down to sleep and when I get up in the morning. It's the first and last thing I see in the day. In all fairness maybe all Daddies dress up like leprechauns. I'll have to ask around as soon as I make some friends and establish my network.
Happy Birthday to Aunt Sue and Aunt Judee! I wish I could be there to celebrate with you. I hear Nolan is walking. I'm hoping to roll over pretty soon. I keep trying, Mom is helping me a little bit. Actually its pretty fun to just lay on my back and look at the lights in the ceiling.
So, I know I said my life's ambition was to be a Mexican wrestler with Lucha Libre, but I've changed my mind again. My new friend Christine took a bunch of pictures of me last weekend. For a guy that loves lights, the camera flash was just the ticket. I think my call is in modeling. It would be a crime to not share this face with the world!
Go Irish!

My First 100 Days



Well, the President always makes a big deal out of his first 100 days in office, so I'd like to share some of my accomplishments. I've learned alot since birth. I can focus, I can coo and make all kinds of baby noises, but most important, I can smile. My parents go crazy for that! It doesn't matter what I do, one smile and they're like putty in my hands. Sometimes I even wake up crying in the middle of the night, then I flash them a smile with a giggle (for a little extra pizzaz) and they don't even mind being up anymore.

My administration has not been without its challenges. For starters, I can't seem to get any variety in my diet. True I love milk, but by my count I've had 615 consecutive meals of nothing but the stuff. I think the first word I'm going to say is going to be "Moo." What does it take to get a steak in this place? Also, my parents tend to dress me in one-piece ensembles, not seeming to know that this was last popular when Fat Elvis was playing The Mirage in Vegas. Get with the program people. How about a trip to Brooks Brothers, or at least a pair of Dockers?

The Highlights

Well, I'd like to give all my family and friends a rundown of the last three months. They have been very exciting, to say the least. I'm finding I have a promising career as a Mexican Wrestler. The first picture below is me pinning my archrival, El Grillo, my Uncle Joey taught me this move. Not to brag, but I worked El Grillo over pretty good. My life's ambition right now is to dominate Lucha Libre. I might be a little small, but I'm pretty quick off the ropes. I have all of the skills I need. Sometimes when my parents are asleep at night, I don my uniform and protect the citizens of the city as a crime-fighting Superhero. Don't tell Mom though. She's convinced I'm asleep like an angel.












If Lucha Libre doesn't work out, I figure I can always become one of Santa's elves. My cousin Nolan let me borrow his new dump truck for the picture, thank you! I sure had a good time with Grandma, Grandpa, and all of my aunts, uncles and cousins. It sure was cold, and there was this fluffy white stuff all over. My mom kept layering on the clothes too, luckily I stayed nice and toasty warm.
















Check this out! I was barely two weeks old in this picture and my parents dressed me up for Halloween! Lets just say I wasn't exactly thrilled. I couldn't even go Trick-or-Treating because I don't have any teeth. They kept laughing and saying how cute I looked. I have to agree, I must be the most handsome little chili pepper around!
















Look at me, I'm 'Hot Stuff'


This is what I looked like the first time my daddy got to see me. I was a little tired from my journey into the world; the doctors and nurses did a great job taking care of me. I won the prize for being the biggest baby in the NICU. Luckily I got to go and stay in my mommy's room after a few days. It was much more quiet in there. Then we got to go home, my favorite place!
















Thanks for checking out my blog. Come back soon!

Hello All


Hi everyone! I'm following in my cousins' footsteps and starting up my own blog. A big thanks to Matty and Casey for helping me. Tomorrow I turn 1/4 of a year old! My parents say it feels like I was born just yesterday, I think I'm going to hear that line for the rest of my life. This is one of my first pictures, I've managed to gain alot of weight since then and I'm even more good-looking! Come back and visit the blog often, I'll add more pictures!
