Pictures of Tim

Tim's 5 1/2 months old now. Such a cutie. His top teeth are just about to poke through now.








Sorry, I don't really have any pictures of me. I'll work on it.

Where's Waldo ('s boobs)?

Henry's comment about Tim's flipping off pictures made me laugh so hard. I guess it's because I'm typically always holding Tim when I notice that he is flipping me off but in about half of the flip off pictures you can find cleavage in the background. Henry said it's like Where's Waldo. Hahahahahaha... sick. I guess when you have a wife with ginormous boobs, you have to notice the cleavage (Henry). haha.






Cheese party

While most of the family was at the family reunion in Texas, Joe & Steph had us come down to Morro Bay for a mini family reunion of our own. Tim attended the first party of his life. It was a cheese party. Joe's new love in life is fancy cheeses. For his 27th birthday, his cats, Duke & Tate, bought him 4 types of cheese and some fancy crackers. We taste tested goat cheese, cow/sheep cheese, gorgonzola, extra sharp chedder and another one. They were all really good except for the nasty gorgonzola blue cheese...puke. After we each tried all of the cheeses, we did a blind test to see if we could ID the cheeses. I did horribly, Brian got all but one and Joe got them all right. We all said that we didn't want to try the Gorgonzola in our blind testing b/c it was so sick. I tried to rub some of the gorgonzola on a piece of the goat cheese but 1) I couldn't get Brian to trick Joe with it & 2) I couldn't stop laughing when I did it. Boy, that Gorg-y cheese was sick.
It was so fun hanging with JoeSteph. We went down to the beach & flew Joe's kites, shopped a little on the main street, ate a waffles & strawberry breakfast for Joe's late b-day & played in a pickup soccer game. That soccer game was super fun. We all played really well. It was fun to see Joe play. He's always so good at all sports. He can run so fast and he's just naturally athletic. We also watched Joe's BBC Planet Earth DVD. Cool & crazy stuff.
On Sunday morning, I woke up before everyone so I took Tim on a long walk down to the piers near Joe's work. It was fun. A lot of people were out walking so early on Sunday morning. I really love Morro Bay. The people are so friendly there.
Well anyway, I don't have any pictures this time. It's not that Tim got ugly or anything, I just have been lazy with taking pics lately. haha. More next time. I'll describe him at least. He's just under 21 lbs now, just graduated to size 4 diapers, starting to fill in his little hairs a little more but not all the way there, somewhere between 27 & 28 inches tall & using his hands a lot more. He's so funny when we are eating food. He really wants to eat our food. If I hold him while I'm eating, he grabs my plate and pulls it to him.
Speaking of food, I've ordered some vegan cookbooks and I'm going to try cooking some meals. The recipes I saw seem really good and not too hard.
Back to Tim, he's so cute and bubbly right now. I love holding & playing with him. He smiles and laughs all the time. He loves to be held and played with. He looks around all over the place when we are outside. He loves looking at Dada Brian and Auntie Steph. He doesn't like to have his back massaged or scratched. He has two little teeth on the bottom and I think I can feel a tooth coming in on top now. He definitely has the Patterson drool going on. He likes to be rocked and patted on the back to fall asleep. He drinks approx 1200 mLs (~40 oz.) of formula per day. No solids for this huge guy until he's 6 months. One more month to go. One more month until I am 32. Agggh!
Happy New Year!
