<br />
<br />It has been far too long - but what can I do? I am at the whim of my so called father who claims to have too much to do up the wazoo to let me update my blog.
<br />Yeeees. Trawling Facebook all day can be a chore, daddy.
<br />
<br />Anyhoo, I have decided, on the eve of my glorious birthday, to regale your senses with 36 photos culled from 36 months of my extraordinary existence.
<br />
<br />I have tried to find some images you have not seen before - my, how I've grown.
<br />
<br />You can thank me later.

Three months? Blimey. I guess we've been busy.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-uc7Ci41wI/AAAAAAAABjk/FE6Ch4FpwTA/s1600/avatar.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 384px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-uc7Ci41wI/AAAAAAAABjk/FE6Ch4FpwTA/s400/avatar.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470638710481016578" /></a><br />We've all been up to our usual tricks. Dad is mad busy trying to finish his latest animated film (something about fleas and mountains) and mum is huffing and puffing and complaining that someone keeps kicking her. Don't look at me. I might have the shoes for the job, but I don't kick my mummy.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-udfbLTrPI/AAAAAAAABjs/9XbuR0s_g2A/s1600/shoes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-udfbLTrPI/AAAAAAAABjs/9XbuR0s_g2A/s400/shoes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470639335568289010" /></a><br />I have been steadily asserting my dominance in this place, I watch Avatar whenever I want,<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ueW7yIcMI/AAAAAAAABj0/mRZkBuYxcXE/s1600/3D.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 331px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ueW7yIcMI/AAAAAAAABj0/mRZkBuYxcXE/s400/3D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470640289213870274" /></a><br />I drive myself around,<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ueXUxb6KI/AAAAAAAABj8/8jFueMWq23g/s1600/car.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 285px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ueXUxb6KI/AAAAAAAABj8/8jFueMWq23g/s400/car.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470640295921838242" /></a><br />and I sleep wherever I damn well want.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ueYNPUt0I/AAAAAAAABkE/3Bg4yzUy5o8/s1600/Sleeping.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 348px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ueYNPUt0I/AAAAAAAABkE/3Bg4yzUy5o8/s400/Sleeping.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470640311079581506" /></a><br /><br />Now that I have virtually all of my teeth in place, I am thoroughly enjoying whatever my parents are trying to eat. However, sometimes I let them strap me into my chair and force other consumables upon me. I am particularly fond of watermelons,<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ufHAH_5qI/AAAAAAAABkM/aR-YcWZI_n4/s1600/watermelon.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 398px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ufHAH_5qI/AAAAAAAABkM/aR-YcWZI_n4/s400/watermelon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470641115013047970" /></a><br />although nothing beats a jam sandwich!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ufHqV_aAI/AAAAAAAABkU/zhplbgUGUOs/s1600/Jammy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 362px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S-ufHqV_aAI/AAAAAAAABkU/zhplbgUGUOs/s400/Jammy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470641126346024962" /></a><br />It has been mentioned that I have a drinking problem.

Providing you are a baby, and not the owners of a baby, nor the passengers in the immediate vicinity of said baby. To be fair though, I thought my behavior was pretty good, not like the old lady in front of me who threw up all the way from San Francisco to London on the way out, or the man doing sneaky bottom burps behind me on the way back. Actually, during the stringent security check on the way to the States, I got my first ever frisking. <br />Needless to say, it was an enjoyable moment for both parties, and phone numbers were exchanged.<br /><br />So, what went down in jolly old England?<br /><br />Well, it snowed. Interesting stuff, snow. Kinda fun, kinda wet. The jury's still out on its usefulness.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S0uGgJbvSbI/AAAAAAAABWw/ZuLG9sUE8KI/s1600-h/snow.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 261px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S0uGgJbvSbI/AAAAAAAABWw/ZuLG9sUE8KI/s400/snow.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425578062944094642" /></a><br />It did teach me a thing or two about the hardiness of the locals though - although some might mistake this for stupidity.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S0uGyZAsidI/AAAAAAAABW4/xr19jL7j9BY/s1600-h/man+in+snow.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/S0uGyZAsidI/AAAAAAAABW4/xr19jL7j9BY/s400/man+in+snow.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425578376363280850" /></a><br />It was fun seeing Nanny Annie again.

Can't wait to meet family members I never knew I had, and charm the pants off mum and dad's friends. All that and turkey too - smashing.<br /><br />Before I get too carried away though, I must apologise for skipping a month. There's no excuse, so I won't make one. That said, I'll now flood this blog with photos capturing the last couple of months in all their glory - lots of stuff happened, and I'm sure there was a purpose to it all...<br /><br />Well, Halloween came and went (as did the chocolates I collected - thanks Uncle Paul). Dad carved a groovy pumpkin for me, befitting my dark side.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9ZhoAJqxI/AAAAAAAABTU/Cd01G7MZpjs/s1600-h/DSC_0061.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 394px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9ZhoAJqxI/AAAAAAAABTU/Cd01G7MZpjs/s400/DSC_0061.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413143711331232530" /></a><br />I got all decked out in my best space smuggler gear - just call me 'Han'.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9ZjXqHiyI/AAAAAAAABT0/pLchyIsI678/s1600-h/Little+han.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9ZjXqHiyI/AAAAAAAABT0/pLchyIsI678/s400/Little+han.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413143741303589666" /></a><br />I wowed the chicks.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9ZiDlx93I/AAAAAAAABTc/78pvqQ_RkVY/s1600-h/han+and+Leia.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9ZiDlx93I/AAAAAAAABTc/78pvqQ_RkVY/s400/han+and+Leia.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413143718736820082" /></a><br />Before hitting the town with my best buddies.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9Zicr77NI/AAAAAAAABTk/KQKxxCNkHcc/s1600-h/Trick+r+Treat.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9Zicr77NI/AAAAAAAABTk/KQKxxCNkHcc/s400/Trick+r+Treat.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413143725473524946" /></a><br />And counting my ill-gotten gains.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9Zi91ivBI/AAAAAAAABTs/K4LuMyJi2Ww/s1600-h/Loot.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9Zi91ivBI/AAAAAAAABTs/K4LuMyJi2Ww/s400/Loot.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413143734372187154" /></a><br /><br />Also that month, I discovered the joys of brisk walks on crisp evenings. Mum and dad took me to a new park and we all had fun.<br />I looked at the birds on the lake.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9fzTbcsoI/AAAAAAAABT8/ku_XuJBE9zA/s1600-h/park+1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9fzTbcsoI/AAAAAAAABT8/ku_XuJBE9zA/s400/park+1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413150612115993218" /></a><br />Then dad showed me the art of swinging.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9f0ObnDyI/AAAAAAAABUE/UEAYhadmAKs/s1600-h/park+2a.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9f0ObnDyI/AAAAAAAABUE/UEAYhadmAKs/s400/park+2a.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413150627954364194" /></a><br />And then mum helped me up and down the stairs - all in all a most productive evening.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9f0hlQ9WI/AAAAAAAABUM/XJ5P1BuANGc/s1600-h/park+3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9f0hlQ9WI/AAAAAAAABUM/XJ5P1BuANGc/s400/park+3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413150633095132514" /></a><br />November swung around, and with it came butterflies and Thanksgiving.<br />We went to see the butterfly migration at Santa Cruz, but there weren't very many to see. Luckily I had Uncle Paul on hand to point out that the clusters of dead leaves we were looking at were, in fact, Monarch butterflies.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hSUGvUJI/AAAAAAAABUU/Sbx5VKFOBlA/s1600-h/pointing+at+clusters.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hSUGvUJI/AAAAAAAABUU/Sbx5VKFOBlA/s400/pointing+at+clusters.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413152244385140882" /></a><br />Not dead leaves<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hSxE0EsI/AAAAAAAABUc/Jrqcetdbkfw/s1600-h/clusters.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 344px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hSxE0EsI/AAAAAAAABUc/Jrqcetdbkfw/s400/clusters.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413152252161692354" /></a><br />Saw some cool caterpillers though.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hTUg8EcI/AAAAAAAABUk/7VlYaWvtG-U/s1600-h/caterpillar.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hTUg8EcI/AAAAAAAABUk/7VlYaWvtG-U/s400/caterpillar.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413152261674897858" /></a><br />And then we went to the beach where everyone took turns to pose with me, thus making them better citizens.<br />First Mum.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hUbCMjsI/AAAAAAAABU0/yYw2J36RT_A/s1600-h/harry+and+mum.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hUbCMjsI/AAAAAAAABU0/yYw2J36RT_A/s400/harry+and+mum.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413152280604872386" /></a><br />Then Dad.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hT2O08qI/AAAAAAAABUs/MKR5v8FKh7Q/s1600-h/harry+and+dad.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9hT2O08qI/AAAAAAAABUs/MKR5v8FKh7Q/s400/harry+and+dad.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413152270725739170" /></a><br />Then Uncle Paul!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9iJqoS1sI/AAAAAAAABU8/oicBYi5KQ0I/s1600-h/harry+and+paul.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9iJqoS1sI/AAAAAAAABU8/oicBYi5KQ0I/s400/harry+and+paul.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413153195324266178" /></a>We also went to some friends' house for a Thanksgiving meal. I gave thanks for the opportunity to do a bit of housework, although I needed a Dyson if I was going to suck up that paper airplane.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9jF2ISMdI/AAAAAAAABVE/S9_Va58lqgA/s1600-h/vacuuming.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9jF2ISMdI/AAAAAAAABVE/S9_Va58lqgA/s400/vacuuming.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413154229203382738" /></a><br /><br />Towards the end of November, we all went for a jaunt to the Star Trek exhibit at the Tech museum in San Jose. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw people actually dressed up for this event - surely Star Wars fans would never be this nerdy...<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9jrOO5w0I/AAAAAAAABVM/bD88fhLzESw/s1600-h/trek+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 329px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9jrOO5w0I/AAAAAAAABVM/bD88fhLzESw/s400/trek+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413154871328752450" /></a><br />It was here that I gave a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Captain's log.'<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9jr9Xo81I/AAAAAAAABVU/Svtr3jyTetQ/s1600-h/DSC_0119.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 285px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9jr9Xo81I/AAAAAAAABVU/Svtr3jyTetQ/s400/DSC_0119.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413154883981865810" /></a><br />As usual, I'll leave you with some random images that sum up the past couple of months for me.<br /><br />Dad's pointing lessons were going poorly.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9knJb8EfI/AAAAAAAABVc/uzIpqzizrs0/s1600-h/pointing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9knJb8EfI/AAAAAAAABVc/uzIpqzizrs0/s400/pointing.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413155900833403378" /></a><br />I discovered that leaves come many different colors, but mum still makes me wash my hands whether they be green or red or brown.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9knqE8a0I/AAAAAAAABVk/uK30NndrqDk/s1600-h/leaves.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9knqE8a0I/AAAAAAAABVk/uK30NndrqDk/s400/leaves.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413155909595327298" /></a><br />Sometimes a t-shirt can say a thousand words.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9koCsMbHI/AAAAAAAABVs/2JoGErsekWY/s1600-h/ipood.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9koCsMbHI/AAAAAAAABVs/2JoGErsekWY/s400/ipood.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413155916202404978" /></a><br />I am experimenting with different looks for my dark lord outfit.

They don't seem to find this very funny though.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9mEAlcNyI/AAAAAAAABWU/fmrp3Vqti90/s1600-h/bog+roll.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9mEAlcNyI/AAAAAAAABWU/fmrp3Vqti90/s400/bog+roll.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413157496185173794" /></a><br />Finally, I'll leave you with me and new best friend. When he asked me what I wanted for christmas, I said 'world domination' and then peed on his leg. I don't think this guy's going to be checking his list twice this year...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sx9mE2OHfoI/AAAAAAAABWc/p_ujIk5KZYE/s1600-h/santa.jpg"><img style="display:block;

He has written a 'to do' list and is ploughing his way through it in a vague attempt to avoid changing my diapers.<br /><br />A lot has happened since I turned 1 and became an adult. I am still doing lots of walking, especially in my new outfits, and because of this activity my weight appears to have plateaued at 22lbs. <br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbW2TgYc0I/AAAAAAAABMo/8TTLBfC0yuc/s1600-h/new+outfit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbW2TgYc0I/AAAAAAAABMo/8TTLBfC0yuc/s400/new+outfit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379223033378009922" /></a><br />I'm growing taller though (30 inches), and already have size six feet. I think some height would add a sense of menace which could prove useful in the future.<br /><br />I don't always walk around unaided though - occasionally I like to relax in my walker which also plays classical music, very sophisticated.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbXN8r_M9I/AAAAAAAABMw/hMDuFY6r-Bk/s1600-h/walker.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbXN8r_M9I/AAAAAAAABMw/hMDuFY6r-Bk/s400/walker.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379223439569531858" /></a><br />Every day is spent plotting diabolical deeds and honing my defensive skills - when I am not attacking dad and biting his knees, I like to engage in a friendly bout with my arch nemesis, Dr. Quackles McBeak.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbXuCIr8eI/AAAAAAAABM4/qVApB0rDUd0/s1600-h/fighting+duck.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbXuCIr8eI/AAAAAAAABM4/qVApB0rDUd0/s400/fighting+duck.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379223990787895778" /></a><br />Speaking of dad, I have to say that so far I am not impressed with his parenting abilities. In fact, the stuff he has been teaching me has, quite frankly, been downright irresponsible.<br /><br />First, he taught me the correct Mr. Magoo face to pull to show my displeasure when forced to eat vegetables.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbYNQmdqZI/AAAAAAAABNA/b4g75jpNIXU/s1600-h/mr+magoo.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbYNQmdqZI/AAAAAAAABNA/b4g75jpNIXU/s400/mr+magoo.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379224527246829970" /></a><br />Then he showed me the joys of eating mashed potatoes without the aid of a bowl or a spoon.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbYcmmllcI/AAAAAAAABNI/CnP--9wMALk/s1600-h/mashed+potato.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbYcmmllcI/AAAAAAAABNI/CnP--9wMALk/s400/mashed+potato.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379224790850966978" /></a><br />Later he demonstrated the correct way to smoosh one's face up against the kitchen window in order to shock mum. Luckily, granny had just washed this window...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbYuKlp4nI/AAAAAAAABNQ/AEgsDiNv_wg/s1600-h/window+press.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbYuKlp4nI/AAAAAAAABNQ/AEgsDiNv_wg/s400/window+press.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379225092568506994" /></a><br />He's not all bad though - he did take me swimming today for the first time - I loved it!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbZJ6B_82I/AAAAAAAABNY/QtIA-y_DY4M/s1600-h/swimming+pool.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 277px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbZJ6B_82I/AAAAAAAABNY/QtIA-y_DY4M/s400/swimming+pool.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379225569160328034" /></a><br />I've been considering many new forms of transport in order to facilitate my world domination plans. After rejecting the box...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbZrpnZBVI/AAAAAAAABNg/L6GF8ANwBD4/s1600-h/in+the+box.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbZrpnZBVI/AAAAAAAABNg/L6GF8ANwBD4/s400/in+the+box.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379226148869309778" /></a><br />I then tried what I thought was a rocket - only to discover that is was a crude mock-up of a pineapple house. The shame.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbZ7BtxVxI/AAAAAAAABNo/D0ylIgN3UB4/s1600-h/paper+rocket.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 389px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SqbZ7BtxVxI/AAAAAAAABNo/D0ylIgN3UB4/s400/paper+rocket.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379226413036558098" /></a><br />Finally I settled for my big Cat truck - oh, and don't get me wrong, I don't normally drink and drive.

How old am I?Hello minions!<br /><br />My profound apologies for the delay between entries, but feel free to blame my father and scowl at him as you pass him on the street.<br /><br />So much has happened in the last couple of months - I pushed out a couple more teeth, learned to point with great aplomb, and within the space of a week went from standing in a wobbly fashion to walking all over the place - yay, mobility!<br /><br />Here is some photographic proof of these great achievements.<br /><br />Teeth...<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWS_SBGyFI/AAAAAAAABIE/Zt06F9bhvFU/s1600-h/laughing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWS_SBGyFI/AAAAAAAABIE/Zt06F9bhvFU/s400/laughing.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369859746575075410" /></a><br />Pointing...<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWTLqMfKMI/AAAAAAAABIM/IVhLvqUvFCI/s1600-h/harry+and+grandpa.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWTLqMfKMI/AAAAAAAABIM/IVhLvqUvFCI/s400/harry+and+grandpa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369859959223691458" /></a><br />Walking around...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWTYSSTlWI/AAAAAAAABIU/fe4xMKyn2yA/s1600-h/standing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWTYSSTlWI/AAAAAAAABIU/fe4xMKyn2yA/s400/standing.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369860176143947106" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWTerHimDI/AAAAAAAABIc/W77TxZXchwk/s1600-h/walking+off.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWTerHimDI/AAAAAAAABIc/W77TxZXchwk/s400/walking+off.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369860285888895026" /></a><br />I like to walk everywhere. Here is a typical scene where I have decided to walk upstairs and one of the slow old adults is trying to frantically catch me before I fall and damage the marble.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWT0U26LoI/AAAAAAAABIk/m9_P4grOqm8/s1600-h/up+the+stairs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWT0U26LoI/AAAAAAAABIk/m9_P4grOqm8/s400/up+the+stairs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369860657870679682" /></a><br />The other big news is that I have relocated to a much more sensible evil lair.<br />You might notice that my previous residence was a little bit... obvious.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWYDwxxGJI/AAAAAAAABIs/V1X8ePr0p6Y/s1600-h/outside+of+house.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWYDwxxGJI/AAAAAAAABIs/V1X8ePr0p6Y/s400/outside+of+house.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369865321109854354" /></a><br />Well, now we have moved into a smaller place, something called an 'apartment', which makes it far more easy for me to blend in with the natives. Actually, I rather like this new place. Despite being the size of our old garage, it is fun to walk around in, and looks like we now live in Tuscany - hopefully this should confuse Interpol.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWYjWjlZXI/AAAAAAAABI0/p1IkXTyfeJo/s1600-h/New+pad.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWYjWjlZXI/AAAAAAAABI0/p1IkXTyfeJo/s400/New+pad.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369865863826859378" /></a><br />Thankfully I managed to retain my chair, from which I dispense nefarious commands.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWZFx7WJXI/AAAAAAAABI8/rb1bC5RfvFY/s1600-h/harry+in+chair.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 315px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWZFx7WJXI/AAAAAAAABI8/rb1bC5RfvFY/s400/harry+in+chair.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369866455289832818" /></a><br />I was a good boy (for once) and helped with the moving process. Here I am packing Uncle Paul's antiques,<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWZeEa8ecI/AAAAAAAABJE/J1NXGMGzX6Q/s1600-h/vhs+tape+packing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 348px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWZeEa8ecI/AAAAAAAABJE/J1NXGMGzX6Q/s400/vhs+tape+packing.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369866872571066818" /></a><br />Ironically, the movie I am chewing on is 'Babette's Feast'.<br />As soon as cupboards were empty, I helpfully filled them up again with my own loot.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWZ91sM9UI/AAAAAAAABJM/dETlpDinV0I/s1600-h/harry+in+cupboard.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWZ91sM9UI/AAAAAAAABJM/dETlpDinV0I/s400/harry+in+cupboard.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369867418372732226" /></a><br />And of course I understood that sacrifices had to be made, and while the move was in progress I resorted to bathing in the sink...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWaNqtEqOI/AAAAAAAABJU/eYomkaAJ65w/s1600-h/bath+in+the+sink.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWaNqtEqOI/AAAAAAAABJU/eYomkaAJ65w/s400/bath+in+the+sink.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369867690301499618" /></a><br />or even on the balcony.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWaW3L8e3I/AAAAAAAABJc/CUGQFjK5Op0/s1600-h/outside+bath.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWaW3L8e3I/AAAAAAAABJc/CUGQFjK5Op0/s400/outside+bath.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369867848271035250" /></a><br />Of course, none of this a great strain, for I am secretly from a distant planet known to your Earth scientists as 'Krypton'.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWbGM_B4_I/AAAAAAAABJk/sOcW15GHv5Q/s1600-h/superbaby.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWbGM_B4_I/AAAAAAAABJk/sOcW15GHv5Q/s400/superbaby.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369868661576295410" /></a><br />Just kiddin'.<br />So, what else have I been up to?<br />Well, mum and dad took me to the beach a little while ago. I liked it very much and found myself inspired. I'll bet nobody has ever thought of constructing an underwater lair! Mwahaha! Just call me Stromberg.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWbqlTyTYI/AAAAAAAABJs/4tRM0nH3OQY/s1600-h/ocean1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 357px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWbqlTyTYI/AAAAAAAABJs/4tRM0nH3OQY/s400/ocean1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369869286581095810" /></a><br />We also entered a fun run called 'wharf to wharf' which goes from Santa Cruz to Capitola. It's a six mile run/walk/crawl and with my help mum and dad set a new record of three days, seven hours and two minutes.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWcGA585xI/AAAAAAAABJ0/Tj1AHxlozuQ/s1600-h/wharf+to+wharf.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWcGA585xI/AAAAAAAABJ0/Tj1AHxlozuQ/s400/wharf+to+wharf.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369869757845399314" /></a><br />All this exercise is turning them into a couple of hotties, check out their latest photograph.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWcalz_a9I/AAAAAAAABJ8/jwI_810XJg0/s1600-h/mom+and+dad.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWcalz_a9I/AAAAAAAABJ8/jwI_810XJg0/s400/mom+and+dad.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369870111349894098" /></a><br />I was too busy hanging ten to be in the picture.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWcjvPylAI/AAAAAAAABKE/VI0ccl6pTeQ/s1600-h/harrysurf.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWcjvPylAI/AAAAAAAABKE/VI0ccl6pTeQ/s400/harrysurf.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369870268501234690" /></a><br />As the more astute among you must know, I recently celebrated my first birthday. I knew this had to be a momentous occasion, and so I went to my friend Cosme's birthday party the weekend before to see how it should be done.<br />Here's me and Cosme during the math challenge. It was an easy question.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWdV1G0-tI/AAAAAAAABKM/xUUL935dswI/s1600-h/harry+and+cosme.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWdV1G0-tI/AAAAAAAABKM/xUUL935dswI/s400/harry+and+cosme.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369871129067715282" /></a><br />Later I discovered that party hats are the natural enemies of evil geniuses. Yes, I was thrilled.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWdptzJxiI/AAAAAAAABKU/sFD4j5R9g9o/s1600-h/party+hat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWdptzJxiI/AAAAAAAABKU/sFD4j5R9g9o/s400/party+hat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369871470703527458" /></a><br />One element I did enjoy was the ball pool - amazingly the purple ones tasted exactly like eggplant. I was expecting grape, oh well.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWeBgG9AZI/AAAAAAAABKc/n39NXSwwLK0/s1600-h/ball+pool.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWeBgG9AZI/AAAAAAAABKc/n39NXSwwLK0/s400/ball+pool.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369871879345340818" /></a><br />Full of balls, it was time to say goodbye. I was sorry to leave, but I had learned a lot, and besides, my diaper was full.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWeQCAdGtI/AAAAAAAABKk/gKInlWkSkYM/s1600-h/leaving+the+party.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWeQCAdGtI/AAAAAAAABKk/gKInlWkSkYM/s400/leaving+the+party.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369872128963058386" /></a><br />With lots of great ideas, I instructed my alleged parents to throw me a super birthday bash, and they didn't disappoint. Dad spent the afternoon incinerating pieces of flesh on the new BBQ, and mum and me entertained the 30+ guests.<br />Even though I was surrounded by Gills, the Bakers and Yakes were still stuck in England, missing all the fun. However, they still found a way to join in via FaceBook!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWhsItBetI/AAAAAAAABLk/lvtj2avn4e8/s1600-h/6016_1182894725659_1026942020_30598419_3478067_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 262px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWhsItBetI/AAAAAAAABLk/lvtj2avn4e8/s400/6016_1182894725659_1026942020_30598419_3478067_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369875910331824850" /></a><br />A cake appeared, decorated by dad, and I relished the thought of biting Elmo's face.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWfMEo_XMI/AAAAAAAABKs/ts0g2hVaMiY/s1600-h/harrys+cake.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SoWfMEo_XMI/AAAAAAAABKs/ts0g2hVaMiY/s400/harrys+cake.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369873160462097602" /></a><br />For some reason they felt compelled to set light to a small wax statue of Elmo, and mum helped me blow the flame out (almost pulling an MJ in the process.

Whatever.<br /><br />At least I can now bring you up to speed with my world domina... um, humanitarian efforts.<br /><br />Firstly, I had to remind the one who calls himself 'father', who is actually in charge here. I fooled him into thinking giving me a shoulder ride would be a fun idea - and then I unleashed hell on his balding pate. "Take that - ha ha! Now go and wash it off, then come back and say 'May I have another?'" <br />You have to keep them in their place.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZw-3cGlgI/AAAAAAAABFw/DsTLWWcV13g/s1600-h/spit+up.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZw-3cGlgI/AAAAAAAABFw/DsTLWWcV13g/s400/spit+up.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347585832885065218" /></a><br />He's not just a handy target for my whims though - sometimes we share a quality moment together, like this moment when we watched Sesame Street while sharing a teething biscuit.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZxlk4g_ZI/AAAAAAAABF4/bw1fZ4goKwo/s1600-h/teething+biscuit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZxlk4g_ZI/AAAAAAAABF4/bw1fZ4goKwo/s400/teething+biscuit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347586497918860690" /></a><br />These things don't really work for me, and judging by my dad's teeth perhaps should quit while I'm ahead. What can I do? I have too much British in me...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZx6dMqc6I/AAAAAAAABGA/VCxjp94ma14/s1600-h/dentist.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZx6dMqc6I/AAAAAAAABGA/VCxjp94ma14/s400/dentist.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347586856633136034" /></a><br />I'm looking forward to Halloween this year. You may recall that last year I was forced to wear a humiliating skeleton costume (not my choice) - however, I have been working Granny hard, coercing her to make me a new costume - will I reveal it now? Oh no - ha ha! However, I will show off a nifty set of pajamas that she whipped up the other day. She would make a pair for dad, but we can't afford that much fabric.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZysDEXKbI/AAAAAAAABGI/LGPzwkbWzWc/s1600-h/star+wars+pajamas.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZysDEXKbI/AAAAAAAABGI/LGPzwkbWzWc/s400/star+wars+pajamas.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347587708612454834" /></a><br />While we're on the subject of that ridiculous space fantasy that my parents are pushing on me, I have to admit that it does have its uses. Through osmosis, as I am carried through their vast collection of toys and posters, I believe I have finally tapped into my true nature. It all started when I decided I didn't want to sit in my Bumbo any more at meal times.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZzd_bGq7I/AAAAAAAABGQ/jAviHPYibG4/s1600-h/bumbo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 359px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZzd_bGq7I/AAAAAAAABGQ/jAviHPYibG4/s400/bumbo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347588566627560370" /></a><br />It was then that I felt the lure of the darkside. My world became one of lurking in shadows and gurgling menacingly.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZzt5YxKPI/AAAAAAAABGY/On7oAdN9N_Y/s1600-h/darkside.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZzt5YxKPI/AAAAAAAABGY/On7oAdN9N_Y/s400/darkside.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347588839885056242" /></a><br />Until I finally learned to harness the power of force lightning - and I became Darth Nipper.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ0AyflOXI/AAAAAAAABGg/VGzr8PVdCF8/s1600-h/force+lightning.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 372px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ0AyflOXI/AAAAAAAABGg/VGzr8PVdCF8/s400/force+lightning.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347589164452100466" /></a><br />But I have said too much already. Back to normal baby stuff.<br />Here I am in my command center, feigning happiness when all I want to do is get out and crawl around.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ0aC_nezI/AAAAAAAABGo/WFTVaUYbLOI/s1600-h/command+center.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ0aC_nezI/AAAAAAAABGo/WFTVaUYbLOI/s400/command+center.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347589598378162994" /></a><br />We went to my friend Oliver's house the other day for food and games. Oliver's mum showed me this really cool toy - I loved it! For some reason though, a similar device has yet to materialize in my own home. <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ03X5VLFI/AAAAAAAABGw/iCmEopA8MCc/s1600-h/squeeze+box.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 354px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ03X5VLFI/AAAAAAAABGw/iCmEopA8MCc/s400/squeeze+box.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347590102205148242" /></a><br />While there, Uncle Paul taught me the delights of picking suspicious fruits with no regard for personal safety.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ1IM1sP-I/AAAAAAAABG4/cuT_DDIO808/s1600-h/berries.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 235px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ1IM1sP-I/AAAAAAAABG4/cuT_DDIO808/s400/berries.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347590391294869474" /></a><br />But he's still my uncle and I still love him.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ1XHqi7hI/AAAAAAAABHA/I1iv2_w0z4w/s1600-h/huggie.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ1XHqi7hI/AAAAAAAABHA/I1iv2_w0z4w/s400/huggie.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347590647603981842" /></a><br />Just recently my alleged parents have noticed that my television viewing habits have started to affect me - they can't figure out if this is a result of watching too much Elmo, Clifford, Thomas the Tank Engine or The Exorcist.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ1036aGJI/AAAAAAAABHI/7t0Dtqtc8Yw/s1600-h/avocado.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 334px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ1036aGJI/AAAAAAAABHI/7t0Dtqtc8Yw/s400/avocado.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347591158771619986" /></a><br />While we're on the subject of horror films (we were?), one of dad's leading ladies, Christel, came by the other day. She's jolly nice, and has smashing shoes. However, I had to question the wisdom in allowing her to hold me when I read the press release from the film she stars in - "a voluptuous femme fatale who exacts gruesome revenge on lecherous would-be suitors". <br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ2rQpIvCI/AAAAAAAABHQ/7eMfI5X_a2c/s1600-h/christel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 326px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ2rQpIvCI/AAAAAAAABHQ/7eMfI5X_a2c/s400/christel.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347592093123001378" /></a><br />Just yesterday I was invited to my other buddy, Nate's birthday party. he had a thing there called a 'bouncy house'. At first glance it looked rather daunting.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ3BqrnGFI/AAAAAAAABHY/5G3VA1ah17A/s1600-h/netting.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 324px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ3BqrnGFI/AAAAAAAABHY/5G3VA1ah17A/s400/netting.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347592478069823570" /></a><br />And when I got inside, I realized I was entirely correct.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ3NA6WKOI/AAAAAAAABHg/W1yDn7w7e5M/s1600-h/bouncy+house.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ3NA6WKOI/AAAAAAAABHg/W1yDn7w7e5M/s400/bouncy+house.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347592673015769314" /></a><br />Well, I have to get going, as mum and dad need this computer again, so I'll leave you with this final image which demonstrates how I am big enough to feed myself now.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ3fD43B5I/AAAAAAAABHo/iw4nfXVMOAg/s1600-h/messy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SjZ3fD43B5I/AAAAAAAABHo/iw4nfXVMOAg/s400/messy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347592983052486546" /></a><br /><br />Cheerio!<br /><br />HJB Out.nob01http://www.blogger.com/profile/13801633454016235260noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919765854496353395.post-31850599761757222392009-05-10T12:35:00.000-07:002009-05-10T13:30:43.165-07:00Happy Mother's Day!Hello blind followers of the cult of Harrison,<br /><br />Today's blog is dedicated to a very special person on a very special day.<br /><br />ME!<br /><br />Just kidding. Even though I just turned 9 months old yesterday, I feel it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge my alleged mother who is one of many magnificent matriarchs to be honored on this special day created exclusively by Hallmark.<br /><br />I love you mum!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SgczFvoFRWI/AAAAAAAABDY/z6FAfaCWYpk/s1600-h/harry+and+mum.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SgczFvoFRWI/AAAAAAAABDY/z6FAfaCWYpk/s400/harry+and+mum.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334288457420588386" /></a><br /><br />Well, now that I've got that out of the way, back to me.<br /><br />It's been a very interesting month actually, dad had a birthday and mum bought him some balloons. I ask you - are these people really mature enough to raise a child?<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgczk3F6erI/AAAAAAAABDg/q_0bMfqET_c/s1600-h/balloons.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgczk3F6erI/AAAAAAAABDg/q_0bMfqET_c/s400/balloons.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334288992000703154" /></a><br /><br />On the plus side, I did manage to weasel a decent morsel of dad's icecream cake out of him - and I have decided that this is what I shall be wasting my pocket-money on in the future.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc0CIbsxoI/AAAAAAAABDo/XP-XO0B4I54/s1600-h/icecream+cake.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc0CIbsxoI/AAAAAAAABDo/XP-XO0B4I54/s400/icecream+cake.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334289494871688834" /></a><br /><br />I am a big fan of frozen treats - especially in this terrible time of teething. Mum has a little mesh sucky thing into which she puts ice cubes and frozen baby juice (don't ask me where she gets frozen baby juice from), and which I enjoy sucking on immensely. Sometimes we all get a frozen sucky thing to enjoy and we eat them together.<br /> <br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc0ouCj1EI/AAAAAAAABDw/xQOeGdTqVyQ/s1600-h/icelollies.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 234px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc0ouCj1EI/AAAAAAAABDw/xQOeGdTqVyQ/s400/icelollies.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334290157801821250" /></a><br /><br />This month has truly been a period of discovery.<br />I have discovered how to crawl...<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc07_f2skI/AAAAAAAABD4/lmo3x8JykwM/s1600-h/crawler.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc07_f2skI/AAAAAAAABD4/lmo3x8JykwM/s400/crawler.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334290488905609794" /></a><br /><br />How to grow teeth...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc1F_gFZXI/AAAAAAAABEA/z_ddWdm_UJ4/s1600-h/teeth.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc1F_gFZXI/AAAAAAAABEA/z_ddWdm_UJ4/s400/teeth.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334290660705265010" /></a><br /><br />How to sit up and play by myself...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc1Ric8MkI/AAAAAAAABEI/XF1pMqwfjOs/s1600-h/sitting.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc1Ric8MkI/AAAAAAAABEI/XF1pMqwfjOs/s400/sitting.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334290859065881154" /></a><br /><br />How to show my displeasure when forced to eat cold carrots...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc1eJ8OJWI/AAAAAAAABEQ/_Fmjvn7WJ1A/s1600-h/cold+carrots+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc1eJ8OJWI/AAAAAAAABEQ/_Fmjvn7WJ1A/s400/cold+carrots+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334291075824493922" /></a><br /><br />How to stand up and watch my favorite shows...<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc1rJRF_yI/AAAAAAAABEY/_rK4cHJ3bKQ/s1600-h/standing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc1rJRF_yI/AAAAAAAABEY/_rK4cHJ3bKQ/s400/standing.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334291298981904162" /></a><br /><br />and how to react when a Girls Gone Wild advert appears on screen...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc2HOysivI/AAAAAAAABEo/LSwAm12hvhk/s1600-h/dundundah.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc2HOysivI/AAAAAAAABEo/LSwAm12hvhk/s400/dundundah.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334291781501356786" /></a><br /><br />Normally, dad and I enjoy a sedate period every morning watching my favorite characters, Clifford and Elmo.

Now, instead of separately washing my clothes and then giving me a bath, she just chucks the whole lot in the laundry. Don't worry, I have alerted social services.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc4HLyoipI/AAAAAAAABFA/8iLVOt5QL04/s1600-h/laundry.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc4HLyoipI/AAAAAAAABFA/8iLVOt5QL04/s400/laundry.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334293979719043730" /></a><br /><br />Here's me standing up again. I like this upright position - it moves me that much closer to all the fun electrical equipment that taunts me with its flashing lights and beeping noises.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc4cGcNMQI/AAAAAAAABFI/GbfIRugN2uc/s1600-h/standing+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc4cGcNMQI/AAAAAAAABFI/GbfIRugN2uc/s400/standing+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334294339060052226" /></a><br /><br />Finally, here's another cute picture for you to print out and stick on your fridge. I'm sorry for all of these stunning photos of me that must be cluttering up your walls, but can I help it if I inherited my dad's good looks?<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc42IC_oNI/AAAAAAAABFQ/NLex0k36ROU/s1600-h/baker.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sgc42IC_oNI/AAAAAAAABFQ/NLex0k36ROU/s400/baker.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334294786167775442" /></a><br /><br />Until next time,<br /><br />HJB out.nob01http://www.blogger.com/profile/13801633454016235260noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919765854496353395.post-61594167949188447552009-04-09T17:02:00.000-07:002009-04-09T18:54:14.314-07:00Greetings Harry Fans,<br /><br />So sorry for the long delay between blogs - you can blame my dad. He has been hogging the computer lately doing all sorts of crazy stuff, but he has finally given me a chance to do a bit of catching up on this, my 8 month birthday.<br />Eight months! Crikey, where does the time go?<br /><br />To make up for the lack of blogging, I have decided to treat you to a feast of me - what more could you want? Normal service will resume soon!<br /><br />Here I am at my first Easter egg hunt. Not sure I get the idea behind this one - it seems some bloke was nailed to a bit of wood and everyone celebrates by eating chocolate eggs from a rabbit. What kind of mixed up world have I entered?<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6OUKzQPXI/AAAAAAAAA-8/awuwMWtF3aA/s1600-h/Harry+17.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 312px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6OUKzQPXI/AAAAAAAAA-8/awuwMWtF3aA/s400/Harry+17.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322848286746361202" /></a><br />Mum and Dad got me a big boy bed. I don't get how this works either. They put me in the middle of it, I go to sleep, and then I wake up like this. What's going on?<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6OP1yj7NI/AAAAAAAAA-0/gjGdgbMzb48/s1600-h/Harry+16.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6OP1yj7NI/AAAAAAAAA-0/gjGdgbMzb48/s400/Harry+16.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322848212386835666" /></a><br />Uncle Parm bought me some cool threads - for some reason I move a lot faster when I wear this. It impresses the honeys too.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6OKFP2IOI/AAAAAAAAA-s/0Kbq9--G_Ls/s1600-h/Harry+15.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6OKFP2IOI/AAAAAAAAA-s/0Kbq9--G_Ls/s400/Harry+15.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322848113456980194" /></a><br />I am just beginning to figure out this 'crawling' lark. It appears I just flip over and wave my arms and legs in a general direction, and I tend to inch my way over there. Good fun, but my alleged parents keep moving stuff off the floor and higher up...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6OC5eAGAI/AAAAAAAAA-k/YcWeNOeOVjM/s1600-h/Harry+14.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 246px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6OC5eAGAI/AAAAAAAAA-k/YcWeNOeOVjM/s400/Harry+14.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322847990036043778" /></a><br />You know? Sometimes clothes are unnecessary. Like when I'm hanging out in my command center, making important calls to the gang. Nothing better than doing it in the buff without their knowing. Keeps me amused.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6N7tZtcKI/AAAAAAAAA-c/q3A6jV-XBo4/s1600-h/Harry+13.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6N7tZtcKI/AAAAAAAAA-c/q3A6jV-XBo4/s400/Harry+13.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322847866537734306" /></a><br />Mom is still very comfy.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6N03d4lDI/AAAAAAAAA-U/Z_kkVO7WHQU/s1600-h/Harry+12.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6N03d4lDI/AAAAAAAAA-U/Z_kkVO7WHQU/s400/Harry+12.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322847748980511794" /></a><br />So is dad.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6NvhkSRAI/AAAAAAAAA-M/sbxXrv15Z_8/s1600-h/Harry+11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6NvhkSRAI/AAAAAAAAA-M/sbxXrv15Z_8/s400/Harry+11.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322847657202435074" /></a><br />I believe I have figured out a way to make crawling a bit easier on the knees. All I need is a couple more of these things tied around my waist and voila! Combine this with my Ferrari gear and you'll never catch me, mwahahaha!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6NrvYy2HI/AAAAAAAAA-E/EEPx-KoD8yU/s1600-h/Harry+10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6NrvYy2HI/AAAAAAAAA-E/EEPx-KoD8yU/s400/Harry+10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322847592192858226" /></a><br />Here I am eating a teething biscuit. Teething sucks. I constantly have red cheeks and cry at irregular intervals. It's not all bad though - I've got two teeth already! I'll let the parental units take a photo of them for the next blog.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6NnUj2J_I/AAAAAAAAA98/S0W8jmhp2cY/s1600-h/Harry+9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6NnUj2J_I/AAAAAAAAA98/S0W8jmhp2cY/s400/Harry+9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322847516271978482" /></a><br />Do I need to say anything about this photo?<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6Ni9k1dSI/AAAAAAAAA90/btEGqZFZbOI/s1600-h/Harry+8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/Sd6Ni9k1dSI/AAAAAAAAA90/btEGqZFZbOI/s400/Harry+8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322847441382634786" /></a><br />I've been doing some research, and it turns out I was Mother Theresa in a former life.

My stats now come in at 18lb 12oz and 2 ft 4 in - I haven't figured out my collar size yet, but judging by the bibs that no longer fit me, it must be fairly humungous.<br /><br />Life has been fun these past weeks - I've learned to do a lot more stuff and I'm checking out everything in my domain. I'm really happy that my parental units bought me this science laboratory as it has been instrumental in my understanding in how things work and how they can be controlled to suit my whims.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRXmaywAzI/AAAAAAAAA50/TWzlmnF8fdU/s1600-h/saucer+to+use.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRXmaywAzI/AAAAAAAAA50/TWzlmnF8fdU/s400/saucer+to+use.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301958978860745522" /></a><br /><br />From this laboratory I am able to study the flora and fauna of my land. I now understand how a mock turtle feels...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRX7M_LYwI/AAAAAAAAA58/QN4-k2YhU4k/s1600-h/touching+turtle.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRX7M_LYwI/AAAAAAAAA58/QN4-k2YhU4k/s400/touching+turtle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301959335932027650" /></a><br /><br />... and what a frog looks like really close up.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRYI9kwV-I/AAAAAAAAA6E/wi9XFNwm2Zo/s1600-h/looking+at+frog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRYI9kwV-I/AAAAAAAAA6E/wi9XFNwm2Zo/s400/looking+at+frog.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301959572312840162" /></a><br /><br />I have even found a fellow explorer who appears to be trapped in some kind of pool - <br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRYZV1grAI/AAAAAAAAA6M/iKQOZlqar1o/s1600-h/mirror.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRYZV1grAI/AAAAAAAAA6M/iKQOZlqar1o/s400/mirror.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301959853703474178" /></a><br /><br />He looks strangly familiar...<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRYoXRftEI/AAAAAAAAA6U/-pEpDFUeKeI/s1600-h/reflection.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRYoXRftEI/AAAAAAAAA6U/-pEpDFUeKeI/s400/reflection.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301960111787324482" /></a><br /><br />Not all the animals in my kingdom seem to respect me though. There is one fellow in particular who seems to chortle at me at every opportunity he gets. However, I have a roasting pan and an orange with his name on it (Dr. Quackles McDuckdown), so he will soon learn some respect.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRZG63T2eI/AAAAAAAAA6c/bFR2XgeS2yk/s1600-h/duck.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRZG63T2eI/AAAAAAAAA6c/bFR2XgeS2yk/s400/duck.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301960636737247714" /></a><br /><br />I have also been tasting everything I can find in an attempt to find a substitute for milk (which, quite honestly, is losing its novelty value). My jungle gym has some interesting flavors - on this pole the strawberries taste like strawberry, the shnozzberries taste like shnozzberry!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRZpzjI6uI/AAAAAAAAA6k/HOTrQNWkvH8/s1600-h/licking+gym.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRZpzjI6uI/AAAAAAAAA6k/HOTrQNWkvH8/s400/licking+gym.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301961236069018338" /></a><br /><br />It's not all work, work, work though. I still find time for some fun. I like to play a game called 'pants down, spit up'. This is how it works. First, I drop my pants...<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRadA1A_WI/AAAAAAAAA6s/tC2rpCe7S8g/s1600-h/pants+down.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRadA1A_WI/AAAAAAAAA6s/tC2rpCe7S8g/s400/pants+down.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301962115806985570" /></a><br /><br />... then, when everyone is distracted by my gorgeous legs, I spit up on Uncle Paul's head.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRauLcEamI/AAAAAAAAA60/Z9Q_szs-rm0/s1600-h/spit+up+on+paul.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRauLcEamI/AAAAAAAAA60/Z9Q_szs-rm0/s400/spit+up+on+paul.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301962410712918626" /></a><br /><br />I never get tired of that one!<br /><br />Granny Gill has extended her plane ticket so that she can stay here a bit longer. She seems to think that my alleged parents couldn't cope without her - and I'm inclined to agree. Here she is telling me a highly inappropriate joke. <br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRbjaH8aLI/AAAAAAAAA68/zeZklyLlGqU/s1600-h/laughing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRbjaH8aLI/AAAAAAAAA68/zeZklyLlGqU/s400/laughing.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301963325188106418" /></a><br /><br />Let's see if I can remember it. Um, there were these three nuns who had died in a car crash and they are waiting outside the pearly gates when St. Peter comes along and... wait a minute - this is a family site right? I'd better stop there.<br /><br />So what else is new?<br />Well, I'm going through a miserable period known in select circles as 'teething'. Kinda sucks if you ask me - however, dad is normally on hand with a piece of frozen apple for me to chew on which is both practical and delicious - so it's not all bad.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRb_Cr7beI/AAAAAAAAA7E/lBN0pok-xn4/s1600-h/apple.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRb_Cr7beI/AAAAAAAAA7E/lBN0pok-xn4/s400/apple.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301963799932923362" /></a><br /><br />I also have a new car seat thanks to mom and dad's freinds, Amy and Mike. I'm not sure that this is the correct placement for it though.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRcSOZKo8I/AAAAAAAAA7M/k_cHS5GXWOk/s1600-h/car+seat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRcSOZKo8I/AAAAAAAAA7M/k_cHS5GXWOk/s400/car+seat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301964129492968386" /></a><br /><br />I recently hosted a birthday brunch in my honor, and was happy to be able to recruit some new serfs, um, companions who will come in useful during my conquest of the known world.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRcx3vcyKI/AAAAAAAAA7U/HLu7H68KZGE/s1600-h/party+crowd.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SZRcx3vcyKI/AAAAAAAAA7U/HLu7H68KZGE/s400/party+crowd.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301964673168230562" /></a><br /><br />I'll leave you with a final picture of me (of course), in one of my new favorite shirts (thanks, jk!).

It was my first such event, and I liked it so much that I have requested to do it again at the end of this year - who knows? We might make this an annual occasion. As you can see, I got into the spirit of things straight away.<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289419237688248722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SWfKxaqGiZI/AAAAAAAAAHA/ITyvfstfwAk/s400/santa+harry.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>An even more pleasant surprise was the descent upon my home by hordes of people claiming to be related to me.

Much hilarity was had by all. I was especially happy to see that they had all brought me presents, and I ripped into them with great gusto.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289420627936369586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SWfMCVvFW7I/AAAAAAAAAHY/oAF2RC5lgN0/s400/harry+presents.jpg" border="0" />You will notice that I am sitting on my new throne.

It was loud, colorful and smelled vaguely of fish, but I got some great ideas for my lair while I was there. How about this? A trapdoor on an artificial bridge that dumps my unsuspecting minions into a pool of slightly miffed anenomes! Mwahahahahaha! </div><div>My insidiousness knows no bounds.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289422939794074082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 276px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SWfOI6E6aeI/AAAAAAAAAHw/nLFg43HSr1s/s400/harry+aquairium.jpg" border="0" /> I have some great news to share with you by the way.

It was his last day today, and now he is drifting around looking like a lost child. I'll make it my duty to keep him busy.<br /><br />Well, as you can see, I've hit the big 4, and hit a little over 16lbs on the scales. Everything is going nicely and I am looking forward to xmas, whatever that is.<br /><br />Check out this great spit up I got mum with the other day. Timed to perfection, stringy, and smelling faintly of ovaltine gone bad. Man, I'm getting good at this...<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SUNWWYBmrxI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Raw5tovBtmA/s1600-h/spit+up.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279158130614644498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SUNWWYBmrxI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Raw5tovBtmA/s400/spit+up.jpg" border="0" /></a> Every day seems to be a new adventure. I have discovered these things on the ends of my arms which are awesome for waving around and grabbing onto moose for a serious bit of gnawing - yeah, I'm teething too...<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279158816820000354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SUNW-UVtdmI/AAAAAAAAAGA/rEHSqqz0hCw/s400/chewing+moose.jpg" border="0" /><br />I have discovered that if I use these wonderful appendages, I can hang onto monkey's tail and roll over - ha ha!

It was a Peruvian one in San Jose and I went with mum and dad who were going to say 'happy birthday' and 'cheerio' to dad's friend, Ana, who is heading back to Colombia soon.<br />Ana is nice. She has warm hands.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279161339829437906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SUNZRLSCRdI/AAAAAAAAAGg/QZuvzs8iXbU/s400/with+ana.jpg" border="0" /><br />I'll leave you with a couple of new shots mum took of me to celebrate my 4 month birthday.

I know he loves it - he craves any kind of human interaction, even if he <em>is</em> being used.</div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272130492630424194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SSpewAa92oI/AAAAAAAAAEw/O0_XvJ64EWw/s320/sleeping+on+dad.jpg" border="0" />Don't think I've been slacking off with my world plans for peace and domination - I take every available moment to contemplate new even more fiendish schemes.</div></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272131469453578994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SSpfo3XwUvI/AAAAAAAAAE4/oB2bQZOgu1k/s320/Thinking.jpg" border="0" />When I finally get a new idea I try not to show it - but I think the parents might be onto me - I have no idea what gives the game away...</p></div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272131809535868130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 262px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SSpf8qRsPOI/AAAAAAAAAFA/cH-CDnYO-2A/s320/diabolical+plan.jpg" border="0" />In an effort to foster a more creative train of thinking, mum and dad took me to a special exhibition all about some geezer called Leonado Da Vinci. It was all about his inventions, and had nothing to do with his secret code, which was a bit of a let down. Still, he was a clever fellow, and I firmly believe that some of his inventions will come in very useful in the future - especially if I have to storm any battlements. Here is mum showing me around.</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272132638411857586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SSpgs6FIHrI/AAAAAAAAAFI/-3jTkaDIHVA/s320/Leonado.jpg" border="0" />And here is dad catching digital butterflies in front of a giant screen while I excitedly snooze.<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272132931242781106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 261px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SSpg989dabI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/siDpaF1GuvA/s320/butterflies.jpg" border="0" /> I have to admit - I think all this stimulation is paying off. These days I take a lot more interest in the books dad reads to me - I am actually concerned for the long eared rabbit in this classic bit of literature.</p></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272133396412705522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SSphZB2nKvI/AAAAAAAAAFY/TnwZHAxBz5Y/s320/reading.jpg" border="0" />I have also been practising sitting up - and am very close to doing it all by myself.

As much as I love my new bib, I feel that it detracts somewhat from the look of malevolence that I was striving for.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRh-dVSFlXI/AAAAAAAAAzc/Mh48aPNNPLY/s1600-h/Harry+tongue.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 324px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRh-dVSFlXI/AAAAAAAAAzc/Mh48aPNNPLY/s400/Harry+tongue.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267098806604109170" /></a><br />Mom and dad are getting a good workout these days whenever they pick me up - my last weigh-in clocked me at 14.5 lbs, that's heavier than dad's bowling ball. In my defense, they did weigh me before a particularly momentous bowel movement, so in actuality I am probably closer to 9 lbs.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRh_ArRwJII/AAAAAAAAAzk/Eu8X_WhfSSE/s1600-h/Harry+and+mom.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRh_ArRwJII/AAAAAAAAAzk/Eu8X_WhfSSE/s400/Harry+and+mom.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267099413803705474" /></a><br />So what else is new? Well, I enjoy sucking on my fist which seems to be a great way to communicate to my alleged parents that I am hungry - it works every time. I like to flail my arms and legs around a lot and enjoy gripping various things such as my toy monkey, my rings, mom's hair, dad's chest hair and uncle Paul's wrist hair. I think this is making me very popular.<br />Speaking of hair, I love getting my hair washed.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRh_1MBzPJI/AAAAAAAAAzs/yFpnWztjPWQ/s1600-h/Shampoo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRh_1MBzPJI/AAAAAAAAAzs/yFpnWztjPWQ/s400/Shampoo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267100315948366994" /></a><br />However, during these shampoo sessions, I can't help but look at dad's head and wonder if the same fate is going to befall me.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRiAPwctYWI/AAAAAAAAAz0/enGRRZ6qGC4/s1600-h/Looking+up.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRiAPwctYWI/AAAAAAAAAz0/enGRRZ6qGC4/s400/Looking+up.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267100772401504610" /></a><br />Actually, I do a lot of looking up these. My alleged parents have these things called 'lights' dotted all over the house, and like a moth I just can't tear my eyes away from them. Dad was trying to show me one of his paintings the other day, but I found the light fitting directly above me much more interesting. Says a lot for his technique I think.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRiAuYaWVHI/AAAAAAAAAz8/SlWC7DTOEgk/s1600-h/Painting.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 392px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRiAuYaWVHI/AAAAAAAAAz8/SlWC7DTOEgk/s400/Painting.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267101298525099122" /></a><br />Oh well, that's the end of this week's report. Everything is going swimmingly and we are all having fun. I'm looking forward to the end of the year when I will be fought over by a couple of grandmas and treated to my first English-style Xmas right here in sunny California!<br />I'll leave you with a spooky, disembodied head shot of me. Dad thinks it's cute, but I like to think of it more as a terrifying portrait of mystery and portent.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRiBWxMKBzI/AAAAAAAAA0E/DCbrtOFmEHc/s1600-h/Harry+Head.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 359px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SRiBWxMKBzI/AAAAAAAAA0E/DCbrtOFmEHc/s400/Harry+Head.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267101992371226418" /></a><br />Until next time, HJB out.nob01http://www.blogger.com/profile/13801633454016235260noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919765854496353395.post-86082458112036571532008-10-31T23:49:00.001-07:002008-10-31T23:50:05.528-07:00Happy Halloween!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SQv8D8wx7OI/AAAAAAAAAyg/hJ4ObW3RwBE/s1600-h/Halloween+Pic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zGyt1XhljoE/SQv8D8wx7OI/AAAAAAAAAyg/hJ4ObW3RwBE/s400/Halloween+Pic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263577734293089506" /></a>nob01http://www.blogger.com/profile/13801633454016235260noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919765854496353395.post-64850711538559537532008-10-26T00:57:00.000-07:002008-10-26T01:16:34.120-07:00I'm ready for my close up.Just in case you were getting tired of still images of me - here is a little video that my dad made using one of his favorite singers.<br /><br />He said that on this blog it is pretty 'low rez' - whatever that means - but he added that if anyone wants to download the full rez version in glorious HarryVision please drop him a line and he'll make it available to you through www.2Peer.com<br /><br />Anyway, here it is.<br /><br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-f97606f60fc64fe8 height=266 width=320 contentId="f97606f60fc64fe8"></OBJECT><br /><br />The more observant among you may have noticed a title change for this blog.<br /><br />This came about after my personal advisor, mentor and uncle Paul mentioned that future employers might not like to know I was into world domination when they google me before an interview.<br /><br />I can't say I've been googled before - but I quite like the sound of it.<br /><br />Having said that - changing a title doesn't have to mean changing one's plans now... does it.<br /><br />HJB out.nob01http://www.blogger.com/profile/13801633454016235260noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919765854496353395.post-81880931802186599762008-10-13T10:56:00.000-07:002008-10-13T11:36:29.810-07:00Two Months Old!Yes folks, I've reached another milestone.<br />I feel really old now; there's a touch of stiffness in my knees and my hearing isn't what it used to be.<br />I think I might be losing my hair too - thanks dad.<br /><br />Well, things are moving along quite nicely here. I have my parents exactly where I want them. Just one quick squeal and they either change my diaper, feed me or suck stuff out of my nose - sometimes all three at once. I am enjoying some quality time with my alleged parents, dad likes to make me giggle by tickling me mercilessly (I must remember this technique for future interrogations).<br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256700673529948914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPONaVBPKvI/AAAAAAAAADE/D2F9dwDu6tk/s320/getting+tickeled.jpg" border="0" />Mother seems to take great delight in getting me all dressed up like a fancy man - although I shouldn't complain, as my threads have turned many an eye and seem popular with the ladies. </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256701093142442962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPONywMps9I/AAAAAAAAADM/jCsX8CD6osI/s320/getting+dressed.jpg" border="0" />My 'embarrassing' skin conditions (the acne, and the flaky scalp) appear to be clearing up nicely - thank god I won't have to go through this again...</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256701761068392178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPOOZoam3vI/AAAAAAAAADU/pvDqEl2d3ts/s320/laying+down.jpg" border="0" /> It hasn't all been fun and games though. Mother and father have finally revealed their true intentions by taking me to a large, gray building where a lady who 'claimed' to be a nurse stuck five, yes FIVE, needles into my pudgy little legs claiming that it was for my own good.<br />I ask you, does this look like it was for my own good?<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256702516498042418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPOPFmnEjjI/AAAAAAAAADc/lxbuO9OX3QU/s320/After+Hep+B+shot.jpg" border="0" /> I have to admit though, it wasn't long before I had forgotten the pain and began to practice my singing (encouraged by Auntie Bethany).<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256703233379645730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPOPvVM9uSI/AAAAAAAAADk/qas_rdJ0Hwk/s320/wide+mouth.jpg" border="0" /> I have been attempting the scales, but I can't seem to get past Doh, Ray, Me, Me, Me, Me, ME, ME, ME!<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256703406915234658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPOP5brEq2I/AAAAAAAAADs/kUtZukL9qJQ/s320/singing.jpg" border="0" /> Oh, by the way, if you find that your milk supply is running a little low, that is because the Geek Scout attempt to liberate all the milk in Fort Knockers went extremely well - not only that, but on the way back we stopped off in Idaho and acquisitioned all the potatoes, mwahahaha! </p><p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256703985363400770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPOQbGj3OEI/AAAAAAAAAD0/T7B0Q89lOd8/s320/Mashed+potato.jpg" border="0" /> In other news, I've been having some fun with Uncle Paul lately. He has finally discovered how easy it is to change my diaper - that's right man - inhale deeply!<br /></p><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256704501504886402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPOQ5JVlRoI/AAAAAAAAAD8/CjaSYF5hUEk/s320/Paul+on+diaper.jpg" border="0" />Uncle Paul still hasn't figured out why I fart uncontrollably when he puts me on his lap - and he was even more shocked when I finally 'tagged' him with some pee the other day. Could it be the position he has me laying in?</div><div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256705329216923634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPORpUzgp_I/AAAAAAAAAEE/XxI0oyUgniA/s320/Reclining+on+Paul.jpg" border="0" /> I'll leave you with three of my favorite shots from the past week - first up is lil' ol' me in the jungle - I love my jungle play mat, I can lay in here for ages, chatting with the monkeys and parrots, and because of the constant soundtrack playing overhead, I can now identify over fifteen species of poisonous frogs just by their chirps. This could come in useful.</div><div><br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256705892106627778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPOSKFu36sI/AAAAAAAAAEM/jCAgzbe4U78/s320/In+the+jungle.jpg" border="0" /> Here I am in my favorite sleep suit - sadly I am growing too big for it, so I forced father to take my picture in it for posterity's sake. Hoo, hoo, hee hee, they're all after me lucky charms!</div><div><br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256706369277976466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPOSl3VY35I/AAAAAAAAAEU/Mimz6t5QlVo/s320/green+suit.jpg" border="0" /> Lastly, here is the reason why dad is so far behind on his school work this quarter. What can I say? Sleep is fun.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256706785902936930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SPOS-HYhQ2I/AAAAAAAAAEc/-FRpbZjC0Q4/s320/Dad+and+harry+sleeping.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>Until next time, HJB out.<br /><div></div></div>Harrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07295729855659544736noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919765854496353395.post-47127371187139481472008-10-05T14:45:00.000-07:002008-10-05T15:08:07.577-07:00Some random shots for you to coo over.<div><div><div><div><div><div><div>It has come to my attention that I am unbearably cute. </div><br /><div>So, while I wait to see what my parents have in store for my two month birthday celebrations on Wednesday (I expect this every month now), I thought I might treat you, my loyal subjects, to a selection of my latest portfolio shots.</div><br /><div>Before that, however, I have to show you one of the cool presents I received recently. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253790366755688850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SOk2gLbXkZI/AAAAAAAAABw/aeoEvFQxDCM/s320/blanket.jpg" border="0" />My good friend, Auntie Melinda, made me this splendid blanket.<br /><div>It is festooned with father's own doodles - and I love it!</div><div>Here I am wriggling on it.</div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253790616306663218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Xlc05LxMuI/SOk2utE9PzI/AAAAAAAAAB4/2U4GZX9-bRU/s320/Harry+on+blankt.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>And now, onto the gallery...</div><div> </div><div>I call this one 'baby face'.
