Hangin' at Emmie's

Hey John, whatcha doin?
I'm just hangin at Emmie's this weekend. This is my new high chair. Its pretty cool. The back moves forward and backward so I can play with my toys and eat my cereal here, too. Do you like it?
Yes, it looks pretty cool. So, how is the food at Emmie's house?
Emmie has lots of special treats, but I am not supposed to tell my parents. First I had apple sauce, then a peppermint stick leftover from Santa and later some chocolate milk. Yummy! Why can't I have food like that at home?
Would you like to have the Child Abuse Hotline? It's a toll-free number. They will speak to your parents about this.
No kidding? Thanks, that would be great!




Who is your friend sitting in the high chair with you?
He is my teddy and we are really good friends. He is soft and furry and lets me chew on his ears and nose, too.
Are you going to share that teething toy with him?
No, he isn't teething yet, but I will share with him when he starts getting his teeth.

Tell us how you feel about your parents going out of town for their first trip since you were born. Are you okay with them being gone for a few days?

Yes, of course! I know they were worried about leaving me at home, but they might worry if they knew how much fun we are having!!! I hope that they see Brad Pitt so they can tell him that I am doing better with the paparazzi now. The paparazzi has learned that I am on a schedule and can only be available to the press during certain hours of the day.
Okay, I've gotta take a quick nippi-nap because there are serious parteeee plans for later today!

An Interview With John

Happy New Year, John! Now that you've been with us for about 5 months, what do you think of your new home and life in general?

Well, it was strange being here at first, but I think everything is great so far. The first couple of months are a bit fuzzy, but I have figured out that college football, meals, and a good schedule are priorities around here. I have also learned that my hands are really cool. I can pick up stuff and put things in my mouth now. That is very cool, especially since I am teething. I like my parents, Lucy and all of my grandparents, too! All together, life is good!

I see that you are chewing on a bumble bee toy. Is this the way you are spending most of your time now?

No, I am just taking a break from the camera and all the video shots that I'm required to do under my new "Cutest Baby In The World" contract. I had no idea I'd have to devote so much time to the media, but when you are so cute, I guess that just comes with the territory. I've been recognized in a couple of public places and the girls are really digging me, too.

So, I know you've been trying out new foods, like cereal, squash and maybe green beans. Have you tried apple sauce or any of the sweet fruits yet?

WHAT? I knew that my parents were holding out on me! When will I be able to have the really good stuff???

Well, ummm, errr... you'll be spending some good quality time with Emmie next week, so perhaps she will have a surprise for you? Shhhh. Meanwhile, do you have any other thoughts you'd like to share with us?

I have enjoyed everyone I've met so far and I like books, toys and everyone singing to me. My parents think that I go straight to sleep when they put me down, but lets just say that I am working on a few secret projects of my own! They don't know about the 3am parties and the stuffed animal parades.

Okay, thanks John and I'll check in with you again soon!

Happy New Year!

Its a new year and I have a new schedule! I will be working 3 days a week, Mon. thru Wed., which leaves Thur. and Fri. for being Emmie and painting and other projects. After so many years as a full time worker bee, I am looking forward to my new schedule and more time with John!

Speaking of John, see my next entry for recent pics of the awesome grandchild!

And, have a very Happy New Year!
