Just wanted to let everyone know my new stats! Mom took me to the doctor today and they poked me 4 times with a big, sharp “needle” thing. AND they had the NERVE to tell me it’s for my own good!
NOT very nice.
I’m now 18.5 pounds and 28.5 inches long. I guess my weight and head size are 95 percentile (whatever the heck that means) and my length is off the chart! Dad says I’m gonna be 7 feet tall! I don’t know about that, but I can’t wait until I’m big enough to stick one of those needle things in THEM! Ha!
Today, during the dreaded tummy time fiasco, I pushed myself up with my arms. Mom got so excited about this. She started kissing me and saying how proud she was of me. It really didn’t seem like a big deal to me, but I love the praise and kisses! I know it makes mom happy, too. I think I will try it again tonight, depending on my mood.
Oh yeah, and I wore these things called “mittens” for the first time. They’re pretty cool, I guess. Good to chew on.

Hey Chase –
How ya doin’? This blog wasn’t a bad idea. I haven’t been able to see you in person yet so its pretty neat to see your pictures & videos so I don’t entirely miss out on seeing your all of your ‘firsts’. And what a handsome fella you are (figured you’ve heard enough of cute, although you may appreciate it better later on). Anyway, I’ve been reading your diary here and it looks like you’re having a blast. You’re a lucky guy to have such a great Mommy & Daddy. Although I agree with you that the tummy time is a bit extreme. I watched your “roll over” video and was a bit taken aback. I didn’t know that your Mom had it in her to torture a little kid like that. All that kicking – its gotta be rough on ol’ johnny. And what was your reward? Sweet potatoes! I was sort of worried you were going to get spoiled up there but that sounds more like the gulag. Well, congrats on the rollover, bud.
I also see your Grandpa B. has made a few sideways comments about me. You’ve got no worries there, pal – well, nothing serious anyway. Maybe someday I’ll give you the straight poop on him. I can’t do it in a public forum since he IS my brother & the DA doesn’t need any extra ammunition.
Hope to meet you soon Chase, but until then, Happy Trails.
Love,
Uncle Greg
