Sweet Baby Christmas

Happy Holidays everyone. As a little X-mas gift to you I talked dad into uploading some of the funny lines and impressions I did while mom was trying to take my holiday photo. The following is my tour de force from over 90 pics she took! Enjoy!



Snootiness
"You're Abe Frohman? The Sausage King of Chicago?"



Confusion
"Son, you got a panty on your head."



Super Smug
"I'm just Xavier being Xavier"



Awesome Puffiness
"Raaaay... What did you do Ray?"



Upper Crust
"Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?"



Notoriety
"It was all a dream, I used to read word up magazine."



Surpised Shock
"It wasn't me, it was the one armed man!"



Brando-ishness Part One
"Blah blah blah I'm a fatty something something..."



Brando-ishness Part Two
"I swallowed a bug."



Incredulity
"INCONCEIVABLE!"
or
"PORTERHOUSE! Look at the wax build-up on these shoes!"



Charming Sneakiness
"I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."



Doubt
"Whatchu talkin bout Willis?"

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Work to Do... 5 Months and Counting

C'mon you guys, cut the shenanigans. Can't you see how much work I have to do? There's a lot on my plate here. Just gimme a couple... again with the flash! Seriously?! Dad, can you put the camera down for one second and lend a hand? How was work today mom? Must've been tough if you're putting the kibosh on a little teamwork? Tuckered out, huh. I sympathize, I really do. Not like I wasn't bustin my hump at daycare ALL DAY LONG. Hey, one of the cats! C'mere cat. Darn. No love from the cat. I really need to figure out which cat is which so that I can add him to my heini kicking list. Ah, what the heck, they're both on the list. Guess that leaves just me, myself, and I. Not like I really need the help anyway, I'm 5 months old!

OK, focus, make the plan, work the plan. And let's go.


First things first. Adjust the sun. Check.
Position Octopus. Check.
Flash from dad's camera. Refocus.


Grab cloud. Check.
Spin rattling tumbler. Check.
Check on mom. Check.


Flash from dad's camera. Refocus.
Inspect teething ring. Check.
Adjust the Pampers. Check.


Double check position of the sun. Check.
Another flash. Refocus.


Monitor music levels. Check.
Regard my reflection in mirror. Check.


Aaaaand I'm done. I know my solo effort made that look easy, but trust me and the copious amounts of drool on my torso: It was rough. My dogs are barkin.

Elements be damned! Let's go tree hunting!

Seriously you guys, the gear you outfit me in can be mind boggling. This Tauntaun wrap for my car seat is so choice! I highly recommend it if you have the means. Now I have it on good authority that the holiday wreaths and holly are situated near the entrance. Skip those for now, there will be plenty o' time for that junk later. Focus. Head straight for the firs. I prefer a hearty Fraser or Douglas, but for Pete's sake, stay away from those damned Scotch Pines! Those needles are hell! OK team, the plan is set now let's...... zzzzzz........ zzzzzz........ zzzzzz........

1st Non-Turkey Turkey Day

How pure and exhilarating a holiday Thanksgiving becomes for an infant babe. There is no sordid history regarding either the holiday itself or your company for the day, and you have no idea what wonderful food you cannot enjoy. No worries about drinking and driving or the road conditions on your return trip home. Instead the day takes on a new single whimsical definition... WEEKDAY FOOTBALL MARATHON.


Kara: "C'mon Xavier, pose for a picture with me!"
Xavier: "Not now cuz, I've gotta set my fantasy football lineup."
Kara: "C'mon. Do something dainty! Vogue!"



Xavier: "Urgh! Cut it out, you're ticking me off!"
Kara: "OK, jeez, let's hug it out."
Xavier: "No! It's not OK, Kara. You're frustrating me. I need to make sure that I have the Law Firm in my lineup. He's got a wicked stiff-arm and mad power. Nevermind! You're a girl, you wouldn't understand!"
Kara: "..."



Kara: "Does he stiff-arm like this? Face!"
Xavier: "..."

Xavier: "Darn cuz. That was gangsta."
Kara: "RECOGNIZE!"

Mixed Bag #1

Total absolute submission. Great job breaking him down, Mom. Maybe too good of a job... might wanna check for a pulse.


Walking through the cover of the Led Zeppelin box set.

Rocking the hipster suspender outfit at Uncle Robby's crib, or Curly from Three Stooges. You decide. (Editor's note: Also Jill's crib.)

Lame hayride. Devouring fist much more entertaining.

Is this the Camel Clutch?
