Baby's First Profound Dilemma

As the North and South sides do battle this weekend, do I root for the Chicago Cubs or the Chicago White Sox?

Is this my good side?

Father's Day Brunch

Hey, who is this guy?

Sunday I got to meet a lot of my family. A whole bunch of people got to hold me and make silly faces. Here I am with one of my grandfathers. There was a lot to eat: breakfast casseroles, croissants, juice, coffee cake - but no back-bacon, can you believe it?

Photoshoot

Today I got to pose for a whole bunch of new photos - Have to keep my adoring fans happy! Maybe you will see one or two of them on this blog now and then (that's what us bloggers call a 'Teaser').

Dad finally scanned in my footprints so I hope you will enjoy them. Pretty soon when you come over to visit you will see muddy footprints just like these all over the house.

O Jo Footprints

2 Weeks Old!

I'm two weeks old! Happy birthday to me - where are all of my gifts? My dad says I have to wait a while before I get any more. What a bummer. I am looking forward to being spoiled more by everyone soon, though.
Today I weighed in at 10 pounds even and measured 22.25" tall. I wonder if the Pistons could use a power forward next year to help them defend the title?

Late night with O Jo

An evolving trend seems to be late night blogging. Long after everyone else in the house goes to bed, I quietly jump out of my bassinet and get a chance to log in and talk to all of you. Maybe as I get a sleeping/eating routine down this won't be the case.
Today I got a treat - grandma came over and I got to spend time with her. I already love her. She is easy to behave around and I get the feeling she will spoil me rotten.
Daddy finished working on his paper just before I got up to write this. 22 pages of Marketing strategy analysis for the Wall Street Journal - I guess whatever floats his boat, just so long as I don't have to read it!
On the poop front I am proud to announce yet another yellow one. It must be evolution or something.

Footprints in Time

Tonight the entire house fell into its routines: Mom cooked dinner and caught up on housework (though I kept her busy most of the day), Dad continued to work on that darn paper, and Abby found new places to sulk (she managed to squeeze under her bed to hide from my crying).
I got to have a bath and listen to some Randy Newman songs (Randy singing, not Dad!).
I also got to make ink footprints on paper. It wasn't much fun because I wasn't allowed to put my feet where I wanted them to go! Hopefully, I can get Dad to scan them in and post them soon for all of you to see.

Hard at Work

Tonight I caught up on sleep while Daddy worked on his Marketing paper. Tomorrow promises to be more of the same. Abby is still sulking around the house whenever I cry. Hopefully I can start crawling and walking soon so that she and I will be best buds.

The House that Never Sleeps

New York might be The City that Never Sleeps, but I am throwing down the gauntlet. Through my diligence I have been able to keep my mom awake quite a lot lately. With my fussy feeding schedule and busy waste management agenda, I have put mom to the test. She seems to be pretty good-natured about it all, though. She takes me into Abby's room so that I don't disturb dad (you know how grumpy he gets without sleep!). Maybe I'll have to try a new approach soon. I am now 10 days old.



Well, sometimes we sleep

Me as a newbie 

Baby O Jo online!

Hello, my name is Otto Joseph. I am 9 days old and full of piss and vinegar. My parents (well, my dad actually) thought if I blogged maybe I would be a calmer baby, and perhaps, share some of my hard-won, larger than life wisdom, too.
I will try to appease my many fans with regular posts and pictures.
