The 2nd Original

Page

month one

You looking at me?

 

Resting by the Christmas tree.

Letting Mom and Dad be artistic.

We all painted our feet and left our prints on the wall in my room. I also made my mark in my baby book.

month two

Despite my best efforts not to smile when the camera is on hand, I was caught mid-smile.

Just to prove that I am not always happy, here is a series showing the development of a good cry.

This is Dad showing me some improv basics. This is a good standby when playing freeze tag. You are supposed to say "Wonder Twin powers activate!" while doing this.

Sometimes after reading the Wall Street Journal and watching Moneyline, I like to curl up in my folks' bed with a little Pat the Bunny.

Mom bought some new Chinese pots to replant the corn and green bean (not sure what it really is) plants. She asked me to try them out first.

month four

I have really been practicing sitting down recently. I'm getting better at it but I still have a tendency to fold over like a piece of paper.

Here I am sitting with the Easter bunny in the living room.

Sitting back, watching the game, having a formula.

Taking a nap in my new denim hat.

What is the evil monster that is attacking from behind the protective towel?

Oh, it's just Berke.

We had a spot of good weather over the weekend that I turned four months old. These are my dress clothes that I wore to Sherry's wedding. I am out in the back yard
