Walking Update
I know a lot of people have been looking for an update from me and I apologize for being less than timely with my blog entries lately. The problem is, I can't type (or spell) so I have to depend on Mommy to take down my dictation and I gotta tell you, by the time she is ready to sit and type, I've usually… Read more
A Quick look back
I've met a lot of folks in the past 51.5 hours. My nurses and doctors have been so nice and I have had a bunch of visitors. My aunt Maura and cousin Lindsey were the first to swing by on my birthday. Since then my grandma and grandpa O'Connell have come to say hi; aunts Ann Clare and Gertrude came… Read more
First Day Activities
Wow.what a day so far. First, the dramatic change os scenery, then learning how to eat with my mouth weird) and, my personal favorite. My first bath. SO far this ain't so bad. A bit strange.but not too bad. :-)… Read more
My New Year's Resolution
I get the feeling that most people think I am a little young to be considering such deep things as New Year's resolutions, but I think you can never start too early. I don't believe that resolutions need to be all that complicated. Just singling out an area or two of your life that can be improved is… Read more
Things to Worry About
I imagine that at only four months of age you might expect there is really nothing to worry about. For the most part I'd say you are right. Everything I need is provided for me pretty much at the moment I need it. I have to say, though, that every now and then something will occur that definitely gives… Read more
A Glimpse into My Future?
If early childhood experience has any significant influence on our lives' paths, I think I might grow up to be a restaurant/food critic. I have been home for 10 days. Since coming home, I have been to The Barking Dog (twice), a place called The 401 Tavern (formerly Widow Fletcher's) and The Flatbread… Read more
Fall Highlights
As we approach Thanksgiving, I can hardly believe we are already about half way through my first fall. I know there are some big events coming up, but I thought I would take a moment to reflect on some highlights so far (and by highlights, I mean significant events, not necessarily good events). I celebrated… Read more
Happy St. Patrick's Day?
I know. My title is a question, not a statement. Typically, when the words "Happy St. Patrick's Day" are spoken, it is in a jubilant and celebratory way. Well, I think this picture says it all. Although it was a beautiful day outside today, my moms decided I needed this silly hat. I thought… Read more
2010 First Quarter Report
I am considering adopting the financial model and moving to quarterly updates. Holy cats, has it really been almost 2 months since I have entertained you? Well, let me fill you in; a lot has gone on. Dudes, I have 4 (well almost 4) teeth now! 2 solids on the bottom and I have a couple working their… Read more
First Night
Jack stayed with us until about 11:00 last night. Taking the advice of so many of our friends, we allowed the nurses to take him to the nursery for the night while Erin and I tried to sleep a bit. Apparently, the little guy slept right through to 5:00AM. He ate and then came back to us around 6:30.… Read more
Thoughts on Swaddling
One of the first things they taught my moms here was how to "swaddle" me. I have been swaddled A LOT over the past 2 days. Here is sort of how it goes; I wake up swaddled, then they unswaddle me, check me out, usually change my diaper and then swaddle me again. If they've done a good job swaddling… Read more
Thoughts on Vaccinations
Not too fond of them either.… Read more
Finally Home
Home is a pretty nice place from what I can tell so far. I like my room (thought the walls could use a few more pictures). There's plenty of room for us to hang out together and there are a bunch of toys I look forward to playing with. There was a lot of fuss about the dogs. They're not so bad. Lucie… Read more
Thoughts on the Weather
I have been told there is this burning ball of fire called the Sun. Apparently when this thing called Sun is visible and not shrouded by these other things called Clouds, it heats the atmosphere, dries the vegetation and has a significant positive impact on the moods of all people. As far as I can tell… Read more
Meeting Uncle David
I met Uncle David tonight. He is from California. I have another uncle (Jim) from California that I'll get to meet soon. Tonight, though, I met Uncle David (after dinner at a nice Mexican restaurant in Melrose Center). My Grandpa O'Connell is in the hospital. Mama went to visit him and since we were… Read more
Deep Thought
Mama says she is decorating and reorganizing. Mommy calls it wreck-orating and disorganizing. I've gotta go with Mommy on this one.… Read more
