First Doctor's Visit

Colin had his first post-delivery doctor's visit today. All's going well. He now weighs 10lbs 12oz. He's grown an inch to be a whopping 22" tall (long?).

Dr. Staley said that he looks great, and is quite the precocious little gentleman. He predicted that the boy would be walking quite early, based on how advanced he is at present.

Hooray!

Best Freakin Friends

Mary took a few really good shots of Jr. in the Boppy, with Olive. Olive LOVES Colin. LOVES HIM. I can't put into words how beside herself she gets when she's near him. This first one is my favorite. "My Favorite Babies Sleeping". Emma's too old to be a baby,and let's face it- she never sleeps (at least for me!). So . . .hence the title. Now, if could get a shot of Emma holding Colin, with Olive sleeping on top of the two of them, well, I'd post it. 'til then, I've got these:

Gimme Gimme Gimme

There are SO many different ways I could have gone with this one. "Thirsty and Miserable". "Six Pack", "Rise Above", "TV Party". Somehow, given where we are in the present state of affairs, "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" seemed most apropos.

For those not in the know, Black Flag is an '80's Punk band from Los Angeles. Many of us children of that decade were fans. Nothing to be alarmed about, honest.

GATOR FANS! Rest assured, the face you see in these pictures fits the Black Flag songs "Revenge" and "You Bet That I've Got Something Personal Against YOU".

18 years nigh, someone from the great state of Ohio named Colin is gonna utter the w0rds "Whaddathey know about party'in or ANYTHING ELSE?!?", and simply unload on some poor kid holding a football, wearin' a Gators uniform. The game will be decided, and the Buckeyes will have their revenge. Count on it.

My Peeps

Most of the folks came on over Sunday for Teh Boy's first gettogether. Here are a few shots. This first one has Aunt Mollie, right after sharting. More importantly, Ms. Ruby, Paul's daughter, is there on the right. She is The Cutest Kid on The Planet, 2007. She REALLY liked the dogs.
Unca Jason: "Excuse me, I have to fix my face."
Nic, Stacey and Drake. Apparently, if you were born after 1975, posing is a very, VERY important thing for you. If you were born after 1975 AND you're from Trinidad, well, they'll KILL YOU FOR NOT POSING for a picture. Or something . .. . See what I mean? Honestly. Trinidad must be some kind of terrorist cabal or something. Anyway, I need to replace that shed, directly behind Ms. Stacey (and her mad pose).

M. U. Y. F. A.

Any true metal fans will either be thinking of "Metal Gods" by Priest, or "Gloves of Metal" by Manowar after seeing these shots.

Halford comments need not be made.



In the shot below, we were playing "(Built To) Resist" by Grip, Inc. as loud as we could on our paltry little stereo. Obviously, the boy busted a move for it.

Friday Afternoon Comin' Down

Nothing better in the world than a Friday afternoon nap . . . in your Anarchy t-shirt.

So, like, when does he stop sleeping so much, and begin tackling drills?
