Soooo cold...

Sooooo... not surprisingly, it is pretty much freezing out here on any given day. Daddy was gone for a few weeks, so Mom and I passed the time as best we could.

First up - impressions.

Hey. I'm Daddy. I like the Gators. I hate having my picture taken.
(Please note - my impression was spot-on.)



Kidding Kidding! Impressions are over! (Relax, Dad) I'm just taking Mom her purse, definitely not carrying it like she does.



Before long, Mom started bringing people over for me to "play" with.

First up - a tiny baby girl named "baybeeee". She really was a delight. I shared all of my toys with her - including heavy or supposedly inappropriate ones that Mom would immediately make me take back. Like I don't know what is appropriate for an infant? Puh. Leeze.



However, the age discrepancy began to take its toll and I found myself at my wits end. I mean really, if they wanted me to babysit, they should have just said so.

Now please. I beg you - no more babies.



After that visit, Miss Amy came by to hang out for an evening. She is about to have her own baby, so she often comes over to pump me for information about what it's like.

Well, I'm sorry, Miss Amy. I do have wisdom to impart, but not tonight. I'm all babied out. I'm just gonna sit here and concentrate on my yogurt raisins, thankyouverymuch.



Then came the new love of my life "lella" (aka Bella). It turns out that a much better match for an 18-month-old is an 8-week-old puppy with razor sharp teeth! She can at least fend for herself when I "share" with her.

But let me tell you - she straight wears me out.



As for the rest of my time... Well, I've just been doing a lot of drinking.

...with my boots on.



...propped up by the couch.



...longingly looking out the window, wishing warmer days would come.


Ooooh - one last parting note. Contrary to the evidence below, my mad untensil-skillz are only getting better. Plus, who doesn't think that a tiny hat of macaroni isn't hilarious?

Hmmm?? What's that? Those who wash my hair don't think it's funny?

Well.

You're wrong. It's a riot.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all! I hope that you had a great time ringing in 2008. I certainly did. How? By seeing how many wheat thins I can stuff in my mouth. Record - 3.



With only 1 Christmas under my belt, I wasn't sure what to expect this year.

Well. Let me tell you - it rocked. And not only were Mom & Dad around, but my Peedles, Poppy & Uncle Stew came to help me celebrate!

Before they came, I decided I need to start stockpiling food. You know... in case Mommy forgets to feed me or something.

Pasta, peas & beans? Check. I'm ready to entertain.



Christmas morning came quickly and it was quite a sight to behold.

Oh. My. Gosh. Is that a Thomas the Train tent?!?!? PUTMEDOWNPUTMEDOWNNOWWWW!!



Moving on... oooh - neat - a zebra!! "Grrrrowllll". (Yes, that's right - all things with 4 legs growl.)



CHACHOOOOOO!!! CHACHOOOO!!! I am getting quite good at playing with my trains. And also good at "parking" them when I need a break. Where is their garage? Oh, I like to put'em right on the slats of the wooden blinds. Mom's not exactly down with this, but where else am I supposed to put them so Georgie can't play with them when I'm gone? Riddle me that.



By mid-morning, I'll admit... I was a bit on overload and needed a recharge from Daddy.



And then I was up again - demanding that I play with Uncle Stew's drill.



Despite what Mom says, I wasn't getting tired in this picture. I just thought I'd take my sleeping buddies on a tour of all things Christmas.



And then, strangely, I don't remember anything...z.zzz...zzz....

After Christmas, the festivities only continued.

My focus on food is only growing.

Pssst...Mommy...give me a bite. Wait! Why are you wrapping your arm around the plate like that?



I still love passing time by giving Georgie "soft pats". And yes, pats can still be soft even if your hand is moving at the speed of light.



OOOH!! And something that is new but super fun - sledding!!!

Guess what is on the other end of that rope!



My own personal sled dog!!!


Okay. That was awesome. And also a little scary.



So that is the latest from me! Have a great day and a wonderful New Year!!
