5 Months old today!

Happy Birthday Little Man. Don't eat too much cake!

Poetry huh?

Well...let's start with sumpin simple!

Little Boy Blue

Has lost his shoe
And doesn't know where to find it


So he talked to his Buddy


And an old fuddy duddy

But the shoe just could not be found,



So he talked to his Sis
And he shook his mean fist
But his Sister is so little help.


So he tried asking Mom
Cause she is the bomb
But Mom didn't know where it was.


So he started to cry


And began asking why??


That no one could find his old shoe


Then what do you know
Don't it just go to show
That his shoe was there all the while



Like a lost little boy


Amongst the dog's toys


The shoe fell asleep with the squirrel.

And now you know why I don't write much poetry!

Just a bunch of nonsense!

Help! I've lost me body!




Did you see that?




What it was? What it was?




What was that thing?




Oh Crap! What did I step in?




What?! Am I the only one paying attention here?




Hey everybody, I want you all to meet my good buddy Buddy...eh...Buddy the dog. Say sumpin cutsie for the blog people Buddy...no Buddy, they didn't know they were blog people!




Hey! Gimmie back my hand...I thought we were buds...




Hey! How about I tell you about the time General Patton and I rescued this dog during the battle for...





I just grab my buddy by his collar...and he'll follow me anywhere...now if I could only move...




Wait! Come back! I promise not to pull the hair again! It was just a handful...what's the big deal?




Belly up to the bar boys...it's sweet potato time!




Sister Grace...and Dr. Suess




Whoa...You're tall Dad!




Let's get busy and write some poetry Dad. After all...you did name the blog 'Poetic Baby History'...remember??

Sleeping Like a baby!

I quietly tip-toed into Ethan's room the other day to check on him. There he lay sound asleep. How quiet and peaceful he looked. I started thinking about taking his picture. (I take so few ya know) Then I got to thinking, (I do that so seldom ya know) that when Ethan was a few days old...and then a few weeks old...almost all his pictures were of him sleeping! 'Cause that's all he did! As he became more active, most of his photo's were of him while he was awake. So, for this posting, I took a couple of new photo's of Ethan sleeping...and went back and found some old ones of him sleeping...all the way back to the NICU. Enjoy the Sleeping Giant pic's! Ethan weigh's 16 pounds 11 ounces at 4 months old.
