Grandpa with Adley and Me

Nothin's better than sitting on Grandpa's lap at Christmas.

I can Eat it and Wear it and Still look better than You!

FIrst Halloween

Hey guys

My Halloween video is yet to come.... The staff here is incompetent at video uploading.

By the way, the drooling has begun again. I am cutting my four front top teeth. I also waved goodbye to my parents as they left for work again. I don't understand how they demand to see my arm wave in the air again and again, but I guess if it pleases them, I can do it from time to time.

Congratulations Edita!

Good job Edita! My nana just graduated for an English course given by the Philippine Consulate. Thank goodness my Oma gave me this shirt so I had something to wear!

Dirty!

I like to get dirty, despite my Mom's wishes. And, for those of you not dirt eaters, you have no idea!

Mr. Clean

For those of you who don't know, my Nana Edita keeps me as shiny clean as a toilet in a convent. And I stay that way, until Dad and I go out and dig in the garden or play with clay. Poor Edita! I just can't stay clean for her.

Happy Wedding!

Today we would like to say congrats to my Uncle Dwayne on his nuptuals with my Auntie, well, now Aunt Amy. Yes, we know the wedding was Saturday but remember we live in the future, so this should work out to be about right. Welcome to the family Amy, and may God have mercy on your soul!

Just the boys, Chillin Out!

Busted!

I admit it, I love cords. I love electrical cords, I love computer cords, I love camera cords, and if our house had them, I'm sure I would love blind cords. And of course, I love music chords. However, those are in short supply as of late, my Mom is gone, and Dad couldn't carry a note if they had handles on them. So Since I can't hear my chords, I will find every single cord in this house, I promise you that!

The Loneliness of Karsten's Father.

Today was the first day Dad and I were officially bachelors. My Dad has been prepping me for a few weeks by watching reruns of The Courtship of Eddie's Father (btw: if you get that joke, you're really old, you know that, right?). And we have both gone on a bachelors diet consisting of meat and anything microwaveable. And, I have been hitting the bottle as well from time to time.

Bye Mommy!

Mom left today.

Still #1 on Google

That's right, type me in, I'm still numero uno. Big Pimpin'!

New Bed

I got a new bed! It's great, and its made of wood, not 1000 different petroleum products. Mom says I'm becoming a big boy. Dad says this bed is only a single and not to get any ideas, whatever that means. Anyway, YEAH!

Thank You

I'm giving you a round of applause for reading my blog today. You should clap for yourself as well. Thank You!

A ONE, A TWO, and A THREE!

Well, it's nearing the end of my first baseball season and it promises to be a good one. Yes, I know the mighty redbirds from Archtown didn't make the playoffs, but something very special is afoot. After years of hoping and several almosts lately, the world might finally see a Cubs vs. Red Sox series. After all, who could resist the story, the two remaining catherals of baseball as a backdrop, the Red Sox looking to build a dynasty, and the Cubs looking for thier first World Series win in 100 years. I can't wait! Mom and Dad did good making sure I got here to see this!

I Know The Dark

Winston Churchill is often given credit for the quote, "It's always darkest just before the dawn." I guess he can say it is his own, after all, he did add the word just. Other often quoted 20th century leader Chairman Mao is thought to have once said,"It is darkest before it goes completely black." Now, I know both are not to be taken literally, but I do know something about the dark. I spend more time in it that most and I can tell you without reservation that indeed.....

Catch

Welll, the footage is out there so I guess I better show it on my website. This is video taken by a scout without my permission mind you, of a workout with my Dad. Now, keep in mind, the practice immediately ended after this due to this invasion of my privacy.

Oh so important

The following is my take on the state of affairs in my life. As this is of such utter importance to all who hear it I'm sure, I have decided to post it on one of the most popular blogs in the world, MINE!

I'll show him!

Dad said that I cannot have any new toys because I already have to many. Well, I must say that I could not disagree more. I want new toys because I've already figured out the old ones. But, since I'm not strong enough to break them, and Edith will see if I throw them away, I have decided to eat them. I decided to start with this one. Yeah, something stuffed might have been easier, but nobody will every suspect that I just ate this hard plastic one.

Cabella's Picture Day

Well, if they did have one, this is what it might look like, and I would be darn proud. Camo is a good color for me, don't you think?! My Mom and Dad said that I can get a rifle as soon as I can hold my spoon by myself as part of the new NRA "Packin' Infants" program. Not that I need one, I've already have a very ill tempered dog to protect me from the evils of the world.

Eating

In my constant striving for cinematic excellence, I would like you to view my new video from the p.o.v. of my spoon. Enjoy!

I Got Ya

I Got Ya!

It's not what it looks like

I'm really not doing what it looks like I'm doing. If it looks like I'm trying to pull the leg off of this table thereby causing everything that is on it to fall on my head I assure you nothing could be farther from the truth. If anything, I am shoring up the leg of this table thereby insuring nothing will fall on my head. So, everything is clear, yes? You believe me, right?

Listen up chumps!

I just found out today that I will not be going with Mom to Misery to see the wedding of my Uncle O.D. and his main squeeze Amy K. Well, Fine, if I'm not wanted so much the better. I didn't want to go anyway. I can tell you one thing, I am canceling that balloon animal sculpture I ordered; good luck with finding anything that fancy at this late date people. Also, my rendition of Fools Rush In I was going to play on my casio, FORGET IT!

Good for Something?

Well as it turns out Hailey might be good for something. I guess she has realized that I am the important one under 50 pounds in this house, watch as she gives me her toy:

Predictable

I was just reading my book here and you would never guess how it ends, the butler didn't do it, but he knew. I knew he knew, and the writer must have known I would know he knew. Dang, if all literature is this predictable, I will stop reading and join my non reading friends at the big elephant party. I hear the cute librarian is having her elderly Grandfather read with her, I can't wait!

Silly?

Here's a little something to get your Monday morning goin'. Enjoy!

Will somebody play catch with me?

I posting this to find another catch partner. My Dad says that 3 hours of catch a day is enough for any boy. I humbly disagree. O.k., not so humbly, what does he know, the last time I checked, he wasn't on his way to winning twenty games for the Padres (Yeah , I know, The Padres are a small market team with almost no tradition, but have you been to San Diego, I hear it is very pleasant). So, if you'd like to pick up Dad's slack and play catch with me another 4 to 5 hours a day, hop a plane or start floating. After all, where you live it's about time to go, right?

I'm a basketful

Hello to all. This is my new cage the parents leave me in. They try to trap me by putting it over my head, but I'm too smart for that old trick. But, I have my own barrel ride.

A list of what I ate this morning...

This morning I ate: oatmeal, sweet potatoes, barley, 6 oz of milk and a side of beef (you know, the ones that come in a box from IBP.) I am reaching maximum diaper capacity.

I love to sit up now, all on my own.

Happy Birthday to Us!

Adley and I both have birthdays today! Happy number one to Adley (that's one month...) Happy number 5 to me!!!!!
