Playing Hooky

Thursday was Daddy and Grady Day. Dad picked me up from school after lunch and we played hooky.

The best place to be on a beautiful day is the ballpark. I took my ball...

...and my glove.

This is right after we got off the escalator. The funny thing is we didn't have to ride the escalator because we didn't sit at the top. But we rode it anyway because it was our day we wanted to.

For most of the game I sat in this seat. A nice man and woman gave us the tickets when we walked up. As you can see there was plenty of room to stretch out. Gotta love the Royals in September.

After the sixth inning we got up to walk around a little.

There was construction going on all over the place. Many of you may know that I have already said I want to be a construction worker when I grow up. I tried to talk to some of the workers but I guess they couldn't hear me over all the banging.

In case you were wondering the Royals won 12-0 which was their 7th win in a row. And I fell asleep before we were out of the parking lot. Good times.

A Grandparent's Day Song

An original tune by the one and only Grady Owen.

Colin and me got haircuts at a new spot because we moved. The barber chair might very well be where I am the best listener. Maybe it's because they usually have suckers.

A big highlight for me at Colton's birthday party was the Dino Dig...

...where I uncovered these dinosaur bones.

As you know my birthday is tomorrow. The main thing I've been asking for is dirt. And cupcakes with two kinds of sprinkles.

A Grandparent's Day Hello

Hello Grandparents. Today is your day. This video was made specially for you.

Some things I've been doing include thinking about using this excersaucer. After trying it once it looks like I'll probably like this thing. But I'm not really big enough yet.

And did you know I got a haircut? Yes it's ridiculous. Ask Mom how much she paid for two little snips.

If you've ever rode in the back seat with your brother you know sometimes you just have to cry out for help.

Lastly, we went to Colton's birthday party yesterday. It was a nice day in the park and has all excited for Grady's party next weekend.

Growing Up Quick

As I'm closing in on four months old, I'm definitely growing up quick! I'm already doing such amazing things as holding this burp rag! Crazy.

7 out of 10 pictures of me look almost exactly like this. The close up head shot while on my belly has become my go-to pic.

But sometimes you've got to mix it up. I'm versatile with the poses. This is called "Cool and Calm Colin," or 3C. Ok, I just made that up.

In a rare moment of actual news on this wonderful website, rice cereal is now on my menu. The first time I had it, I ate like I had never had food before. Which was true. Because formula isn't really food.

Another pose showing my range of talent. This one is called Checking Nails. But that's just what the picture is called. What I'm actually doing is getting ready to chew on my fingers.

Another go-to pic. Is it just me or do I look fantastic in green?

This was just me and Dad being silly with Grady's hat.

If you come see me, you will see this smile. A lot. Because that's what I do. I smile. A lot.

But remember I'm versatile. 3C.

Back on the belly. No my hair is not red. I've heard Grady's hair looked red in some pictures too. I don't know why. I blame the photographer.

If you know Dad, you know he's not afraid to take the self picture. And like I said, I smile a lot.

I leave you for now with a picture of two awesome dudes.

Getting Settled At The New House

We've been in the new house now for a couple weeks and I'm getting used to it. I guess we've been busy because there just aren't a lot of new pictures of me.

We did take time for a brief photo shoot in my new room though where I struck this classic pose.

By now you know that Mom has three boys to worry about. We're sure we stress her out.

Hand tracing is cool. Colin agrees with me. Of course he can't actually talk. I just know it.

Dad and me hit the lanes a while back. We also ate bowling alley food which is not something I would really recommend.

I got an 82 in my first ever game of bowling. As far as you know I did that all by myself and there were no bumpers or anything. And if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free.

An Interesting Title Should Have Gone Here

Weird, uncomfortable, disinterested... what one word would you use to describe what's going on here?

It's a good thing to go see your family when you can so that's what we did. We surprised Great Grandpa and Great Grandma.

On our way to visit Great Grandma we had lunch. As usual I had my bun and hamburger, just not together.

Grandpa let me lay in his bed, which is odd because I don't really lay in my own bed these days. I'm a floor sleeper.

At Grandma's I got to ride in her wheelchair. Naturally I knew exactly what to do.

Colin is a good buddy. I'm sure in 20 years we'll probably try to reenact this.

When it comes to swimming, I'm no fish.

Daddy thinks I'll be more like him when it comes to the pool. All slide, no swim.

All that swimming with Mom wore me out.

Ever heard the expression that sometimes things have to get worse before they get better? Well that's about to happen. We're moving to this house in a few weeks. Problem is we are out of our house this week. I wouldn't count on any new updates for awhile!

Smiles And Other Stuff

Hey there, two bros here. I'm the one with my eyes open.

Think I'll have my two front teeth by Christmas?

Grady likes to give people knuckles and so do I.

Yes, it is a sweet face. Wanna know what's not as sweet? The way my neck smells when I haven't had a bath.

More smiles from me to you.

Last weekend I had the good fortune of spending a couple days at Grandma and Grandpa's all by myself. It was fun. Here, my eyes are saying 'not another picture grandma!'

Sadly, my sleepover weekend came to an end. Luckily for Dad I slept all the way home.

Look at that big brother, he thinks he's tough.

Big G had swimming lessons last week and I went one day just for fun.

It's video time...lucky you!
