Mmmm...Cereal!

James has been feeding like crazy the past few weeks so we decided it was time to introduce him to cereal to satisfy his belly. Although much of it didn't actually make it into his belly on this first try he gave a good effort of it ... and was cute doing it too!

A Little Trim

As those of you who have met James in person know - he came into this world with a full head of hair and although he's got a bald patch on the back of his head he has managed to keep most of his hair on top of his head. That being said - it is growing too - just like he is and it was getting a little shaggy or as we termed it 'moth eaten.' Now we couldn't allow our cute little boy to be ridiculed for life so Mom and Dad decided to give him a little trim. Three little snips and he was all cleaned up and proper! Mom definitely hasn't found her new calling - but in this case the cut didn't need to be exact either. We think he looks quite handsome with his new 'do' and it's out of his eyes so he can continue to look at everything as he likes to do.

Skol Vikings!!

I am showing game face before today's decisive win over Uncle Dan's Dallas Coyboys! I was apprehensive of the big Dallas team, as evidenced by this photo. Moods change quickly when your team wins 34-3! Woo-Hoo! Mom, Dad and I went to Auntie Stina's house in North St. Paul to witness the smackdown of the team (and city that took my Minnesota North Stars!). I continued to work on rolling over, motivated by that big flat screen that showed my Brett Favre passing to Sidney Rice over and over and over again! Here's my celebratory picture with Stina!

Greetings to fellow Viking fans and to those Packer fans we know and love, thank you for sending #4 our way via the New York Jets. Skol Vikings! Everyone sing now!

Skol Vikings, let's win this game, Skol Vikings, honor your name, Go get that first down, Then get a touchdown. Rock 'em . . . Sock 'em Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Go Vikings, run up the score, You'll hear us yell for more. . . V-I-K-I-N-G-S Skol, Vikings, let's go!

p.s. Check out my new Viking ship!

My First Gopher Basketball Game

Mom and Dad took me to my first Gopher Basketball Game a few weeks ago and boy it was a lot of fun! I did get a little startled when everyone erupted in cheers when the Gophers scored and when the band played (even though I had ear plugs in I could still hear them) but I behaved myself quite well and didn't even need a diaper change while I was there. You can thank me later for that Mom and Dad. I hope we get to watch the Gophers again soon - I have lots of maroon and gold clothing for the occasion. I have a feeling one day I'll be here playing and instrument in the band too - at least that's what Mom and Dad keep telling me. Go Gophers!!!

Behold the Baby Jesus!

This was an amazing honor. Mom and Dad were asked if I would be the Baby Jesus for the Christmas Eve Church service. My friends Bjorn (with stuffed animal) and Signe on the left came to visit after the service. I didn't get the girl on the right's name, but she was really nice and friendly. I started to get very sleepy from all the visitors and hard work in my role...

Auntie Aimee took these pics and captured Mom and Dad in their supporting roles of Mary and Joseph. They look like they had fun in their roles. The manger I slept in has been used in Church services at Bethlehem since 1923. We couldn't believe how many alumni babies (and parents) came up to say that they had been Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It was a beautiful service!

Cookies, New Places and New Tricks!

Mom and Dad, well mostly Dad, love these Peanut Butter cookies. So we all baked 'em up real good and then I was the taste and quality tester (In my imagination only). They sure looked good. Nobody got hurt, as I was fed shortly after this picture was taken.



I got to take Light Rail for the first time with Mom and Dad and we met up with Uncle Robbie and Auntie Liza to see Santa and the Hollidazzle parade. Here we are clowning around with Robbie and Cousin Elliot in the long lines at Macy's before we got to see Mr. Claus.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas...and I learned how to stick my tongue out-right before my first lead acting role as Baby Jesus. This got laughs from everyone around.
