1. Upside down suprise
2. The old two finger stump hold, also known as the Mandible Claw for those of you familiar with Mick Foley.
3. Looking more and more like a little boy everyday.

The dreaded Christening outfit

As you can see Brendan is absolutely thrilled to be in his little outfit. We wanted to thank all the family that came to his baptism this weekend, we were very touched that so many of you made it for Brendan's big day. For those that couldn't make it, he did perfect. Never cried once, except at home when he had his crazy bonnet on. He did not, repeat, did not wear that thing during the service. I have to go, as you can see Brendan is kicking me out in the last picture.

PS- Congrats to Katie and Daniel who are expecting another little Bulldog.

Mmmm green beans

Do I have something on my face? You'd tell me if I did right?

Smorgasborg

1. Brendan and Jake on Mema's couch
2. A baby who actually has hair(Jake)
3. Brendan after he chopped down a cherry tree. He can not tell a lie.
4. Back on the couch. Jake looks like he's dancing.

Trey not pictured because he is only awake during the twilight hours.

Say Cheese it's your birthday Mema!

Brendan wants you to have a happy birfday and then he wanted a siesta. Make that dos siestas, after I double picture posted.

PS- In case you were wondering, yes Jessica was asleep when I started putting the cheese hat on our son.

Another Great Moment in Sleep Deprivation History

This is of course a purely fictional story. The protagonist of ths story is a guy we'll call Moe Jartin. Moe's first job was at a place called Wontgomery Mard's. Well as Moe's are apt to do, Moe stayed out too late one night (also known as, stick one leg in bed, have the alarm go off, pull leg out of bed, take shower, go to work). So Moe goes to his job stocking and restocking the shelves in a warehouse (also known as move this junk that no one will buy over there with that similar junk that no one will buy). Well Moe has to use the restroom at one point during this crucial job. He gets settled in a little too comfortably in the stall and the lack of sleep catches up to him. Moe wakes up 2 hours later very confused. When the cobwebs are cleared away he sees how much time has elapsed and tries to spring up to get back to work. It is a little known fact that if one sits in that position too long you will be paralyzed from the waist down. Moe falls off to the side and is temporarily jammed between the toilet bowl and the toilet paper dispenser. After pushing himself free with his awake arms he crumples to the floor helpless. PINS AND NEEDLES PINS AND NEEDLES. When he gets full use of all of his limbs Moe scrambles back to work and is expecting to be way behind in his very important junk moving job. Turns out no one misses him and the junk all gets properly sorted. Everybody is a winner, except for Moe's dignity which was left on a cold Wontgomery Mard's bathroom floor.

Top O' the Mornin' to Ya!

Happy St. Patty's Day! Brendan is sporting a shirt straight from the motherland brought to him by his Auntie Audra who is a flight attendant. His shoes were from Auntie Alice or his Mema, the blogger has no memory. I do remember that his bib is from his Uncle Bob or Bab whatever you want to call him. Bib from Bab sounds better. Jeans are from parts unknown.

Substantial legs and a guess what I'm doing shot

Any guess what he's doing with a bright red face and a glazed, focused look in his eyes?

The wife and the digital camera are out of town so we had to go to the vault for these. Pretty nice though.

Tummy time on camera

All pillows were protected from drool with a burp cloth. Unfortunately I could not protect his hand from a vicious slurping.
