lil'bitty

Apparently, I have just been born. That would explain the whole trauma that I just went through. Since I'm stuck here for the foreseeable future, I will try to enlighten you on all my discoveries of this strange world as seek to learn the meaning of life or at least how to live it. Peace. L

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, , , , they catch a 14 foot shark!

Well, I have returned from the beach without a shark bite (yea me). Was that an awesome weekend or what? Oh yeah, you weren't there. . . . well I'll tell you all about it and you can live vicariously through me. Not that you'd want the exciting life of a nine month old, but seeing everything for the 1st time is cool so you might. Any way, I am getting way to far off the track, apparently a vacation lingers on a while after you get back and puts the next couple of days in the pot as well. Now I know.

Here is a picture of me on the 1st day. I am in my blue 1 piece and as you can see, I am not too sure about the whole surf roaring, sunny brightness stuff yet. But I warmed up to it pretty soon and played some. I was still tired from the trip down so most of my time was spent like this picture below. . . .

Yes, there is nothing like a nap on the beach. Cool breeze, surf pounding (I got used to it, it's kinda like being in the womb so I had a sense of nostalgia) and a nice comfy blanket to lie on. Gooooooooood sleep I tell you!

Here I am trying out my future modelling carreer with some dressy beach attire. I know it is not Victoria Secret's or anything, but I am a little young for that kinda photo shoot anyway. I just wanted to practice my posing and see how dressy you can go on the beach. I guess I was dressed for a regatta gala. . . . ok, maybe I watched 1 too many episodes of Friends in syndication for my own good, but I thought it was funny. And just so you don't think it was all glamour shots and party, here is a picture of me on day 2 when I really got into the beach crawling, literally.
Oh yeah, I love me some beach time. Not as tasty as you might think at first glance. Actually, not a pleasant taste at all. I never knew that sand could get in some places. I got sand in places that I didn't even know I had. Needless to say, the beach does have bad points. But not so bad that I am not ready to go back at the end of June. Maybe the water will be warm enough to actually go swimming. I'll post some more pictures after the holiday weekend. Party party party gal me!
Oh, some one caught a 14 foot Hammerhead shark in Florida last week, but it was a couple of hundred miles away so no biggie.

Dadum. . . . . . dadum. . . . dadum. . .dadum. . dadum dadum dadum dadum. . . . DADUM!


Well, this weekend will be a watershed moment in my life. I am headed to the beach. Yes, this will be a weekend of 1st's for me. First time out of state, first time to the Gulf of Mexico, first car ride of more than 2 hours, first time to get in a pool and the ocean. 1st "sand box" play time. 1st time camping. Crazy huh. There are probably a whole lot of other 1stesess that I am forgetting about, but I will tell you all about them when I get back.
On a related note. Is it just me, or should Daddy not be making Jaws music when I am getting a bath? I'm just saying. Sounds a little creepy. And hello, I am not even a full bite. I don't think I would like to be like Jonah, or Pinochio's Dad. But I guess it is fitting since the beach excursion is this weekend. Anyhoo, see you when I get back. I'll try and find you some nice pretty shells. Aloha!

A star is born. . . . or fades. We'll see.


This is a picture that entered me into a "Cover Model Search" for Baby Talk magazine. Basically, if you have or are a cute baby (I guess the old axiom about being so ugly it's cute would apply too) and want to start their/your career as a model then you can enter next year because the entry date is past. Look, I may be 8 months old but I know it is a cut-throat business so I didn't tell you before now. Increases my chances of being in the top 6. I know that there are probably better pictures I could have used, but it had to be a non-professional picture, taken within 30 days of submittal, and all of the other pictures in the magazine were of babies doing something cute so I went with this one. Wish me luck!
The top 6 go to New York City (3-days) for a photo shoot. The winner gets to be on the cover of Baby Talk magazine, a 3 minute (up to $5000) shopping spree at Babies R Us, and gets to be on Good Morning America (if the TV time permits). The runner up and semi-finalist prizes aren't too shabby either. So, I will let you know if I am destined to be a famous baby. You know the Gerber baby did pretty well for herself. . . . Think Dr. Quinn Medicine woman. Oh yea, famous, rich, cool, happily married and pretty. Sounds like the career path I want. Maybe we could start an e-mail campaign and make sure I'm the winner. I have some blogger buddies in N.Y. that it would be cool to meet.
