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!
