Jurassic Pork

Today Rex and I had a picnic.

I think this roll is stale.

Here, try the bologna.

I said try it.

Now eat your vegetable.

Ugh, your breath stinks. Eat this tin of mints.

When the picnic was over, Rex wanted to try out my space helmet.

To infinity and beyond!!**

**Rex has wanted to say that forever.

Excessive Accessories

Ok, I need your honest opinion...

Too much??

Midweek Interludi

Look, I know I've posted these midweek interludes before. But as I mentioned yesterday, blogging is hard work. Also, I'm going through the final apartment renovations before we move into our new place - in less than two weeks! Do you know how hectic that is?!? A LOT. Very a lot.

Plus, look how adorable I am when I'm napping. Don't I look like an angel? An angel straight from heaven!

Blog Loblawg

Blogging is hard work, guys. 

So I really appreciate your taking the time to check out what I'm up to. 

And I really appreciate the comments. It lets me know someone is actually reading!

Ok, enough reader gratitude. Now leave me alone so I can get back to work!

Flipping Out

This morning I watched Uncle Bissy do a flip in the doorway!!

Whoa!

I was impressed. So, natch, I had to try it later.

Hey, you're upside down.

I'm ok!

If you're wondering why the photo of my beautiful dismount and landing is cut off, I'll let Mama explain: I actually thought she fell off the bar so I lost the shot due to a brief moment of sheer terror. Sorry!

Thanksgiving or Longest Nap Ever Day

You know what happens when you nap through your family's entire Thanksgiving day meal?

You eat alone.

No thanks.

*Note from Mama: Sadie did not eat anything except a sweet gherkin.

Early Midweek Interlude

Happy Christmas!

I'm 15 months old today! For my birthday I got a Christmas tree!!

Thanks, Santa!?

Ok, so I didn't get a Christmas tree. What I actually got was a trip to Home Depot! Yay. It seems like I'm here pretty much all the time. Daddy, is this our new "home" you keep mentioning?

Anyway, the Home Depot-ers love me, I'm sure. I do things like this:

This tub is too small.

And this:

I like the subtle and elegant curve of this tub -
it reminds me of the works of  Bernini.

And this:

Let's see how many times I can open the door!

Thanks for celebrating my 15th month birthday with me, HD! 

Sidenote to HD management: Again, I appreciate your decoration efforts but it's not even Thanksgiving yet. Couldn't you at least have a turkey roaming around? Or maybe some of the dried corn on the cob that the Halloween witch was holding?? That's Thanksgiving-y and you already have it! I just hate to see you contribute to "Christmas creep" (not to be confused with the Grinch, of course), in which retailers keep moving the holiday shopping season earlier. However, if you can perform a Christmas miracle and contribute to our apartment renovation finishing earlier, then by all means creep away.

See Less

Today Mama tried to pull a fast one me. We were strolling along through Build-A-Bear and all of a sudden, this:

What kind of fool do you take me for?

Mama thought I'd be all, "OHMIGOD, it's SEYMOUR!!!!" But instead, I was like, "What the f*#$ is this?? IMPOSTER!!!!!!" Then I handed the red dino-thing back to Mama and shook my head.


*Note from Mama: Needless to say, we did not leave the store with what I thought would be a perfect miniature Seymour replacement.

To Catch an Alligator

Um, did anyone notice the alligator in the house?

I'm about to be eaten.

Anyone?? A little help maybe.

Where'd everyone go?

 Guess I'll have to handle this by myself.

Tickle, tickle

Gotcha!!

It totally worked!!

>Manical laughter<

Hey, you're kind of cute. Are you related to Rex??

Mama, can I keep him?

Midweek Interlude

Fork it Over

As you know, I've been learning how to eat with a fork.  Today, however, Mama presented me with a challenge.

Corn.

Really.

Ok, fork. We can do this.

Steady...

Got one!!

Damn, lost it!!

Eh, enough trying.

I call this a success!

Little Girl Lost

Daddy, I know you never watched the show Lost (you're probably better off - don't get me started), so the photo below won't make sense. But I'm actually reenacting Terry O'Quinn's character (John Locke) in the Lost season 2 (when it was AWESOME, before it sucked and that suckiness ruined all the awesomeness) premiere episode "Man of Science, Man of Faith."

If you look closely, I'm holding a spoon to represent the stick Locke is holding.

Unfortunately, none of the other kids at the playground wanted to play Jack Shephard in the scene, for obvious (if you watched the show) reasons.

Hon, You Got a Blankie on Your Head

Sometimes I do this during the day:

Just because.

A Lotta Elote

I'm not sure what you were thinking when you gave me Mexican corn for dinner. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious! But corn on the cob with cheese and chili powder smashed all up on my delicate baby face was a hot mess. And I mean HOT.

Um, is my face on fire?

Can I get some milk?

In case you can't tell from the photos, my cheeks and lips are bright RED. Next time, let's just stick with the sweet Long Island corn, mkay?

If I had a third arm, it would be holding corn.

PDA

I'm getting more brazen with my public dinosaur affection. Here I am with Rex back in August:

August - sweet kiss

And here I am today:

Today - making out

Ever since movie night with cousin Julian, my Rex crush has blown up! And don't get me started on Seymour the Dinosaur. I've also been working on Mama's dream of my very first word being "pterodactyl." Hahaha, no, I'm not. Is she crazy?!? No matter how many times Mama says it (a lot), I just look at her and laugh. Sometimes, to humor her, I make a sound of some sort and she thinks I'm trying to say it, and she gets super excited and claps her hands. Mama is so easily amused. Now if you excuse me, I have a large hunk of green (posable!) plastic to make out with.

Space Ploddity, Day 2: Contact!

Space Ploddity

I'm suited up and ready for my spacewalk.

Off I go. All engines running.

Look, I found a moon rock!!

Oh, I think I see signs of life...

...I'll have to get back to you on whether or not it's intelligent.
