Are You My Mother?

Mommy is leaving me next week for the Google Sales Conference. Daddy will be taking care of me on his own.

Daddy? Do you know how to take care of me? It's pretty easy. Here are my instructions:

Mornings: I get up at 6:30 and require food immediately. Mommy usually nurses me. I dont think that works with you though. So - give me about 8 ounces of formula please. Dont forget to change my diaper too. Get me dressed please. Grandpa will pick me up at 7:15.

Evenings: Grandpa will bring me home about 8pm. Please be home on time. I go to bed at 9pm. Please change my diaper and put on my PJ's. Will you read to me? Can we play "super baby"? I guess I have to have formula again, huh? Okay - give me 8 ounces. Please dont forget to burp me...or I will cry!!

Rinse. Repeat.

Mommy will be home late Friday night and Daddy goes to Las Vegas that day!! When will we all be together again? Does my Daddy have a gambling problem?

Daddy's Eyes

Mommy and Daddy are on vacation!!! Yay! That means they are only working about 5 hours a day. No - seriously...I'm upstairs right now in the office and Mommy is on her computer and Daddy is on his computer and he's also on his cell phone. And Mommy said she cant take me to the lake until after her conference call.

What is this all about? Doesnt anyone take vacation anymore?

What else - I am chewing on my hands like crazy. Mommy gave me peas last night. Not sure I'm digging them. Oh - and I am sleeping through the night now. I slept at Grandma and Grandpa's on Tuesday night - Mommy and Daddy were in Atlantic City. They got spanked.

Rain Rain Go Away

We had a BBQ on Saturday - but the weather didnt cooperate. We had 45 people in our house! It was insane. There were kids everywhere. Mommy was too busy making sangria to take photos, so you'll have to use your imagination. Grandma Kiernan got drunk on Sangria lickety-split. I kept getting passed around from one person to another. I took a nap in Aunt Jacqui's arms. I'm sure the last thing she wanted to do on Saturday was hold another baby when she has her own set of twins. But I needed some quality tia time.

It was such a long day. Every time I tried to nap, my cousin Richter would laugh and that would wake me up. I finally met Richter and Chrissie and Joseph. Joseph banged his head on the kitchen table on Sunday morning. I hope Mommy and Daddy realize they need to CHILD PROOF the house! And Mommy kept using "the F word" in front of Joseph. Tsk Tsk. Dont they realize they are parents now?

I was so tired that I actually slept through the night!!

It's Daddy's birthday tomorrow and they are leaving me with Grandma and Grandpa Kiernan for the night so that they can go to Atlantic City. They took me with them last time, but apparently it was a pain to have me there. This is the first time I will be away from them.

No. Sleep. Til. Brooklyn.

I got too much going on to sleep. See how wide my eyes are in this photo? Well this is what I look like at 3am too! I just want to play all the time. All day. All night. Play! Play! Play!

But I dont like to play by myself - so I wake Mommy and Daddy up too. Yay -it's so much fun to play in the middle of the night.

I'm sleeping at my grandparents on Tuesday night. Mom and Dad are going to Atlantic City and they are not taking me this time. I guess I am not allowed on the casino floor...so they have to take turns watching me. How am I supposed to learn if I can't watch? Dad lets me watch when he plays online poker, so I am learning a little bit. But I want to play "Let it Ride" with Uncle Jason! I guess I'll have to wait til I am older.

Happiest Grandpa Alive!

Sunday was Mother's Day. I have a lot of Mommies. There's regular Mom. Then there's all the Grand Mommies: Linda, Norma, Phyllis and Irene. On Sunday, we went to Tia Jacqui's house and I saw my cousins! Here is a picture of me and Nicole. Matthew was sleeping. And Alex was playing with my Daddy.

I'm getting better at eating cereal and I'm also getting better at sleeping.

I'm going to see my cousin Joseph this weekend. I'm very excited to see him. He's going to sleep in my crib and I will sleep with Mommy and Daddy. I hope the weather is nice. Maybe we can go to the lake. Did I tell you that we have lake access at our house? And there's a beach called Children's Beach? I can't wait to go swimming.

Woke Up This Morning...

But you're one in a million. You've got that shotgun shine (no shame about it). Born under a bad sign, With a blue moon in your eyes. Did you see Sopranos last night? Moltisanti - Wow. I dont want to ruin it for you who have not seen it yet...but Wow. And what's up with the AJ story line? Either the writing's bad or the Acting's bad...but I'm not buying it.

Here's a photo of me learning to eat. I'm a total slob. I am just not into my oatmeal. Maybe if Mommy started me off with something yummy, I'd try a little harder, but plain oatmeal? Bleh.

I saw my cousins yesterday! And Mom remembered the camera - so I will post those photos as soon as I can. I fell asleep on Grandpa Gabay's lap.

Who's a Crankee Yankee?

Not me! I finally slept last night. I feel much better today.

Do I look like a boy? Everyone thinks I am a boy - even when I am wearing pink. I need to get me some hair. I keep pulling Mommy's hair out - but I dont know how to attach it to my head.

Okay - now I am a pro at rolling over. I did it twice yesterday and once this morning for Daddy to see.

The weather is finally nice and Grandpa takes me for a walk every day. Tomorrow I am going to visit Great Grandma Kiernan. A little road trip to Rhinebeck...

Tummy Time

I am getting pretty good on my tummy. I dont cry like I used to. And this morning I rolled over again! This time Grandpa saw me do it too...so we know my Mommy isnt making it up.

Maybe if I spend less time on my back, my bald spot will go away. Do you think I'll ever get hair?

We have a busy weekend coming up. Mother's Day. I think we will see Grandma and Grandpa Kiernan on Saturday night and then Grandma and Grandpa Gabay on Sunday. I will see my cousins again. And maybe this time, my parents will remember the camera.

Whiny Weekend

Well for me it was "whiney" weekend and for Mommy it was "wine-y" weekend. I was such a whiner that Mommy didnt take any pictures of me. I dont know why I was so moody.

Was it from getting my shots on Thursday? Was it from having a fever on Friday? Do I have allergies like my Daddy? Is it because Mommy was trying to feed me cereal? Is it because I didnt sleep very well on Friday night? Is it because my Mommy posts every detail of my life on this blog and I'm tired of it?

I was good for a while on Saturday. Aunt Beth-Anne and Uncle Dan came over to see me. I watched the Yankee game with Uncle Dan. Aunt Beth-Anne is carrying my cousin in her belly. It's a boy. I will meet him in September.

Mother's Day is on Sunday - I hope Daddy takes me shopping for something really nice for Mommy.

Large Marge

Well...just back from the doc's...Here are my new stats:

16.5 pounds - 90th percentile
25.5 inches - 90th percentile
16.5 head circumference - 75th percentile

I guess I didnt inherit the "kiernan head" after all. Do you think I'll inherit the "kiernan beer belly"?

Here's me in my tub. I love my bath. Almost as much as Tara loves her bath. I hope I get one today. I'm a bit messy.

Let's see...what else...OH - I rolled over today!!! I was on my tummy and I rolled on to my back. Mommy was so surprised. And now she's scared...can't leave me on the changing table for even a second now!

Hmmm - you're all invited over on May 19th for a BBQ. I know I have a large fan base in Dallas (Hi Lindsay!)...I'm sure we got nothing on your BBQ - we wont even try to compete with Texas BBQ.

Also - our thoughts are with Great Uncle Fairy God Father Gary - take care of that heart! Mommy wants to race you again. We love you!

And...Dave & Perla had their baby (boy) yesterday!!! I cant wait to meet my new boyfriend.
