Mommy and Me - A Simple Slice of Heaven!

100_5468

It starts with a kiss.

100_5467

Then her glasses.

100_5469

Then, you must look cool.

100_5471

Then you put them back on.

Then a hug.

And then a little time to ponder how special my mommy is to me!

Have you met my Auntie?

If you haven't met my Auntie, this is your chance. She is one of a kind! Before I show you some recent pictures of her and I, let me share something with you. You see, I'm a lot smarter than your average 13 month old. Anytime Auntie and I hang out, people keep calling her a different name. They keep saying "Angela". I'll tell ya something, I really think the common sense of our society is eroding. I am 13 months old and apparently the only one who knows her real name...Auntie. Geez Louise!

Auntie, I don't know what this is, or what it's for but man, this is a blast!

100_5494

I'm serious Auntie, this is awesome!

100_5493

Ok, this is where I draw the line! Hello? Auntie? You there? Hey!!!!

100_5499

This is Auntie with my cousin Nolan. We're pretty good friends too. He and I already have code names for each other once the ladies start calling. I think they're original, but tell me what you think. Maverick and Goose! You ladies have lost that love and feeling!!

Baby Blue Eyes

When children are young, it's the small things that you remember most. Graham has always loved his hats. In the morning, it's the first thing he wants. In the evening, it's the last thing he does.

Night out with my peeps!

Every so often, I overhear parents talk about this need to get out of the house for some "R and R" or "Alone Time" or "Adult Time". You see, this isn't my first rodeo. I'm hip to what that means. In fact, truth be known, I get a little tired of seeing the same faces myself. So this past weekend, I took some time to hang out with my peeps over at Rowan Clarke's house. She's a little older than most of us, but is very cute and buys milk for us sometimes, so we hang with her. Between you and I, there is another girl who I have my eye on, but my buddy Jake says he does too. At the end of day, he's just a Williams (and the son of Mr. Williams) so I think I can take him. But anyhoo, you'll see pictures of her below as well.

January 2009 021

This is my buddy Jake. Have you seen two better looking studs? Don't make me call you a liar!

 

January 2009 022

And here she is!!! Contrary to what Jake believes, this is my Sofia. "Sofiaaaaa, I just met a girl named Sofia!"

 

January 2009 024

Hey Sofia, has Jake ever given you a stuffed monkey? 

 

January 2009 026

Let's just get this over with!! Repeat after me: "With this monkey, I thee wed"

 

January 2009 027 

This is Rowan. She's kind of like our big sister.

 

January 2009 028

So Jake, have you seen Sofia lately? Oh wait, she's right here NEXT TO ME!

 

January 2009 045

Mrs. McLain "Wow Sofia, Graham has great taste! It's beautiful!"

Rowan- "You're right, it's beautiful!"

January 2009 046

PEACE, NOT WAR!!!! LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS!!! MR. WILLIAMS, GET HIM OFF OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Random Gramdom

No rhyme or reason to the following photos. But when I'm in them, do you need a reason?

January 2009 048

You mean you don't play naked basketball at your house?

 

January 2009 015

I got six video's in front of this TV and I still can't seem to hide Ellen. At least it's not those cackling hens from the View. Minus Elizabeth of course. My daddy says she's ugly, but he smiles when he says it. Weird, huh?

 

January 2009 053

Ummmm....can someone explain why this picture is in our folder? Mommy, I already have a crib, is there something you need to tell me?

Aw Mommy, that part never gets old! "That's not my Dinosaur" is a classic Charles Dickens novel. Actually, it's written by Fiona Watt, but Dickens sounded better.

Graham meets CJ's new cousin, Mini

I think it's pretty clear to most of you that follow my life, that I am a fan of animals. Alligators, Cats, Giraffes, Hippos, Hippoppanonymous, Zebras, Penguins, Lions, Tigers, and you all know how much I love fish...especially my friends Nemo and Freddy. But when you think of a boys best friend, only one comes to mind. The lovable ole' K9. You see, many little boys have a kinship of sorts with dogs, but few if any can communicate with them, like myself. Today, I got to meet CJ's new cousin Mini. Mini is a Miniature Poodle and is knee-high to a grasshopper. When she came in to my house, she was filled with anxiety and fear. It wasn't long after meeting me, that she was filled with emotions she couldn't adequately express. Immediately, while exchanging war stories with CJ, Mini and I bonded. Take a look at a couple of the photos my daddy took of Mini and I from this afternoon. (My Aunt Natalie Geier is unaware of Mini yet, so don't say anything until later tonight!)

When introducing yourself to a puppy for the first time, a kiss is most appropriate and is the ultimate sign of respect.

 

January 2009 060

You then introduce her to your other puppies (from Hotel for Dogs). I didn't tell her they were fake. What she doesn't know, won't hurt her. You want her to feel good about herself.

 

January 2009 059

Then, after all introductions are completed, you sit back and watch her relax and enjoy herself around her new family. After-all, there is a lot of pressure when your last name is Cohen. The name Cohen in K9, means "Servant to No One, Leader of All". Welcome to the family Mini!

SNOW DAY & MOMMY IS OFF WITH ME!

January 2009 005

I love when mommy's school is canceled!

January 2009 003

Although, I think daddy misses the day with just me.

January 2009 010

This is my doggy CJ. She is a black dog in the white snow.

January 2009 013

 

This is the four of us. Well, three plus my little sibling you can't see yet.
