Wow! I got seven teeth!

Hey buddies!

I think my first official word is, "Wow!"

I mean, don't get me wrong...I can copy you when you say, "Mama" or "Dada" but I really mean business when I say, "Wow!" I know just what it means...

Also, if mommy lays out my toys and asks me where monkey is, I can show her...or block, or book, or anything. I'm quite brilliant.

Mommy says that I've come to life like the "Velveteen Rabbit," whatever that means...

Anyway, yesterday was my Pappy's birthday and we celebrated with burgers and cake...well, I had banana and black eyed peas, I just haven't graduated to burgers and cake yet.

We gave Pappy this music card and since I love it soooo much,

Pappy let me keep it because he loves me soooo much! I'm a helluva dancer, doncha think???

I LOVE eating. It's my favorite thing to do, really.

I never miss one crumb!

Check me out!

Check out my chomps, man.

I got seven teeth already! My auntie AD says that I'll be ready for some Ruth's Chris pretty soon!

(whatever that means...)

It's been pretty sunny here in the ATL. I'm cool with shades...

For my first Easter we went to GG and Pop's farm, what fun!

GG got me a bunny...

...and Pop took me for a ride with Sydney and Rascal...

We look like a couple of super cool dudes, doncha think?

I love it when Daddy wears a hat!

Peek-a-boo!

Daddy isn't afraid of the animals at all!

This is Jake. He's a donkey. He says, "Hee-Haw!"

This is Dolly. She's a horse. She says, "Neigh!"

Who needs a "See 'N Say" when I got access to the real farm deal, people???

I'm so funny!

Sometimes, I'm really, really funny!

Mommy and me at Auntie AD's...

Did I mention that I'm VERY interested in walking???

I totally got it down when mommy holds me up, but I'm seriously considering taking off on my own...I'll letcha know how it goes...

Here's me lovin' my new shades....

Just makin' my appearance at the U Joint Oakhurst style, baby...

Yeah, I'll have the special...carrots and peas smothered in breastmilk, please....

Mommy and I are going to Michigan to see Mimi, Grampy, Uncle Scott, Aunt Lisa, Gram and all of my cousins this week! Mimi has been in the hospital because they can't get her heart to beat right. She had to have a pacemaker put in...

Not sure why they didn't ask me to help out! Mimi says that I melt her heart...surely, all that love would get it beatin' right again! So, we'll be there to love Mimi and make her better.

Sure will miss my Daddy!

Did I mention that I have mastered the sippy cup??? Bring it on!

Daddy took me to the Carlos Museum at Emory to see all of the mummies!

Mummies are dead guys from thousands of years ago...mommy thinks it's kinda gross, but daddy thinks it's the coolest thing...I think I'm with dad on this one.

Hats, horns, and mummies.

Remember my cat, Loopy? She had to go be with angels so mommy, daddy and I all went to bury her at the pet cemetery at GG and Pop's farm. She is with all the horses and doggies there...and there is one other cat, Callie, to keep her company, too.

Not sure why, but mommy and daddy say that Loopy can't be a mummy....too bad.

I sure will miss her!

So, come and hang with me soon! I'll keep ya posted on our Michigan trip but when I get back, it would be cool if you could read a book to me...my favorite is, "Who Ate All The Cookie Dough?"

All I gotta say is, "Wooooooooowwwwwwww!"

Good Night, Moon,

Owen
