my first christmas!

hi everyone
at 10 weeks I had my first christmas, it was very fun!

Auntie Mei and Uncle Stephen came to visit me on sunday, they brought me a fun 3 stage playpen and I got to see their baby (in her tummy). I can't wait for another playmate!

on christmas eve, dad made this yummy roast pork, with cloves of garlic stuffed in it.
I like the smell of garlic, and enjoy watching daddy slave away in the kitchen.

then I went to grandma and grandpa's and got lots of presents and a christmas tree.
I wore the outfit that uncle Carlos bought me, don't I look handsome?

I visited my cousin Aiden after lunch and snack and afternoon nap, and my aunt winnie and uncle Bobby. He has a loooooooooot of hair. I started getting grumpy so we couldn't really talk shop - but he seems to be very happy starting month 3.
Then we had hot pot for Christmas dinner, how chinesey?

Last night uncle george, auntie helen, auntie cynthia, ON.TV, uncle elliot, cousin Aspen, auntie Su, and uncle Franny came over and they played with me till midnight! I had sooooooooo much fun, pushing buttons on my ABC toy my auntie got me, and I even got to pass out a couple times while being carried. I love attention!

I'm cooing and smiling all the time now, with enough drool to soak up a full tissue. Daddy estimates my weight to be 12.5 pounds, but that's just using his bathroom scale which has a terrible level of precision.

I like dancing to Nelly Furtado, love the smells of the kitchen (which I mentioned before), like to coo and girls and smile to manipulate them into giving me attention (I'm so handsome!), standing and kicking, and waking up Mommy and Daddy at 3 hour intervals.

Please excuse the sloppy grammar in this post, I haven't finished Strunk and White quite yet.

No onward for New Years Debauchery!

level 2 containment failure

it's like a star trek episode.
me wearing the red shirt.
max sitting in my lap, smiling away as I play Mass Effect.
Mom is taking a shower.
Then I realize...he's been far too quiet, for far too long.

in the words of my favorite amphibians - It's a little too quiet.

I pull max back to see a HUGE brown spot the size of his back on his, well...on his back.

Level 2 containment failure!
(level 1 is when a #1 escapes the side of the diaper, we haven't had those since we switched to 1-2 size diapers. pampers ftw)

Level 2 containment is, well, level 1, but with a number 2.

So I pick him up, grab the tub from the wall and we use the shower hose to fill it. Mommy is on water level patrol - plugging and unplugging the tub to drain it, while I scrub him down.

Then I thoroughly Shout!! the stains, and then woolite them in the hottest water possible.

The green applesauce flushes down the drain and hopefully the stains will be mere memories after the next wash.

I just realized at this point <> that my shirt had been rubbing against him as I was undressing him out of his poopie-sauced covered clothes.

They've been ripped off me and thrown across the room.

Casualty.
