Happy Birthday to me! June 28, 2008

I’m one month old today.  To celebrate, Dad took me out for some pictures, and mom fed me an extra time or two.  We had lunch at the country club today — I didn’t like my car seat very much, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

Happy Birthday to me!

Dream land interrupted … June 27, 2008

So there I am, in wonderful dream land, and mommy starts taking pictures … good grief, can’t a guy get some uninterrupted sleep around here?  I mean I’m used to dealing with the paparazzi when I leave the house but can’t I get a break in my own house!?!?

(And yes, I do have huge feet, all the better to kick your butt with if you try to disturb me when I’m sleeping …)

My Canadian Grandparents, eh … June 25, 2008

Had a great visit with Grandpa & Grandma Smith this week – they flew down from Vancouver to spend some quality time with me (and enjoy the sun and pool!). We had fun hanging out and I look forward to seeing them back up in Vancouver soon!

Dan DiAnni, poker legend, in da house June 23, 2008

You may know him from Pokernews reports, and reports of co-chip leaders in yesterday’s WSOP event … or perhaps from his reign at Lucky Chances in San Francisco, or cornhole games chez mom & dad … however you know him, know this – me and Dukey are buds so don’t mess with me!!

Dukey up $200 from various prop bets with Dad

Dukey even after Mommy rectified the situation with some roshambo action

Pool Time with Daddy June 20, 2008

Daddy thought it was about time I go for a swim in our pool.  I just wasn’t feeling it …

My Cousin Anisa June 18, 2008

I met my cousin Anisa today – who came all the way from La Jolla to visit me (and Annie, but I prefer to think her trip was all about me). Anyhow, she rocked me on her lap and sang songs to me and we bonded. She also made me an awesome personalized door plate to hang on the door handle of my room. It was great to meet her and I can’t wait to meet her older brother Zakai and younger sister Sarina too – hopefully later this summer.

Tough Tuesday June 17, 2008

It’s only Tuesday and I’m already exhausted … I think I’m going through a growth spurt because I’m hungry a lot. It doesn’t help that I keep having to educate Mommy, Daddy & Marcy about proper handling of a newborn. They keep trying to put me down to sleep despite me letting them know that it’s not the correct strategy – clearly they don’t realize that it’s imperative to proper newborn growth that I be constantly HELD while growing … someone should direct them to the appropriate literature …

WSOP Fever June 16, 2008

So maybe I’ve caught it just a little bit … what do you think, would you be intimidated by me at the tables??

Father’s Day June 15, 2008

Grandpa Mike came for a visit. For Father’s Day, me, Dad, and Grandpa spent the day watching the amazing Tiger Woods sink putt after putt in the US Open. I also met my cousin, Anisa, for the first time, but she’s a little sick so she went to Annie’s house for a few days — she’s coming over later this week for a swim.

I’ve been quite gassy the last week — mom was joking that it was “Farter’s Day” all day today.

Anyway, Happy Father’s Day to my Dad and Grandpa Mike!

Poolside with Dad June 8, 2008

Had fun hanging out with Dad poolside earlier today. I haven’t yet gone in the pool but I’m looking forward to testing the water soon (after all, I need to pee in it to mark my territory!).

I was having a great siesta …

but he refused to let me sleep!

… said he wanted to see my imitation of Mom’s little dance/jig thing she does when she’s really happy …

Okay, there … are you happy??? Now let me get back to sleep Dad!! Go make mom some dinner or something.
