I'm ready for my close-up

Mommy and Poppa took me to Mrs. Ruth's house to have some six-month-old pictures made. Mrs. Ruth is the photographer at the Shopper, and she has a nice backdrop and studio set up at her house.

Of course, once we got there, I couldn't be bothered to smile. I mean, why should I if I don't feel like it? Besides, when I didn't smile, Mommy and Poppa and Mrs. Ruth and her daughter Miss Caroline jumped around and made funny faces and sang and danced, so that was really interesting.

Here are Mommy's favorite pictures.

Halloween and sippy cups

Mommy and Poppa (mostly Mommy) received notice that certain aunts and uncles and cousins would like to see another blog post, so I'm posting about recent events in my very buys life.

First off, I'm officially six months old! This happened on Oct. 29, and while no one threw a party (sigh), there was a lot of, "Can you believe he's already six months?" and, "Where has the time gone?" and, "Did you ever think we'd make it this far?" around the house that day.

Personally, I don't know what all the fuss is about. It's not like I'm any trouble or anything.

I've started drinking from a sippy cup, and as you can see I love it! Mommy puts watered-down white grape juice in it, and I wish she'd give me more. She says I guzzle it like a wino, whatever that means.

Poppa dressed me up as the Green Lantern for Halloween. I didn't go Trick-or-Treat this year because I'm so little, but lots of kids stopped by the house, and I helped give them candy. I can't wait for next year!

Also, Uncle Dan, Aunt Annie and cousins Jack and Wendy might recognize my baseball footie pajamas in these pictures. I'm finally big enough to wear them, and Mommy says I'm adorable.
