Hello hello! Welcome back to another exciting adventure of…..well……me! Entering into my 6th month of life on your planet I have come to a realization. Those that say babies for the first year are just blobs and don’t really do much…..are you slipping your baby Prozac in their milk??? I have been non-stop with all my adventures. I’m ready for a vacation from doing things! So, let the adventures continue π
Where to begin, where to begin…..Hmmmmmm…..Oh, I got it! Let’s start with weddings. Yes, I didn’t just go to 1 wedding this past month, I went to 2! 2 weddings……in July…..outdoors….during the day…….
For those that get married in the heat of July, I congratulate you. That is a love that knows no bounds, a commitment to each other that no one could break. And most of all, you’re all just a little special breed of crazy! For both of these weddings, it was HOT! I mean, it was like Africa hot! TARZAN couldn’t take that kind of hot! Don’t get me wrong, it was all well worth it to see family we love tie the knot. And since I insisted on being dressed up, mommy and daddy took one for the team and did the same. Heatstroke or not, I think I make them look good!
But the fun doesn’t stop there. In our last episode, I described getting introduced to mommy’s cooking, and the less than enthusiastic result of having oatmeal. Well, it turns out that I underestimated my mommy and her imagination. So, without further ado, I bring you to:
It all started out fine on a warm summers night. Mommy and Daddy took another crack at feeding me real food. At first I was hesitant, remembering the culinary let down that was last time. But, I tempered my expectations and decided to accept it for what it was. The end result, oatmeal is pretty darn tasty!
Now, you’d think it would stop there. No true believers, this is not where the story ends. The next feeding was taken to a whole other level. My parents, who apparently watch too much Food Network, decided to infuse my oatmeal with another item: Zucchini! Come on, seriously? Does this not sound like something right out of the entree round of Chopped? “And in your baskets are….” Was there a $10,000 prize for making something out of foods that have no earthly place being together???
You’d think it would be horrible. You’d think I would reject this and demand to see the restaurant manager! You’d think, but……
I just can’t describe it. The flavors…the FLAVORS! They just penetrate the gills and send you into this whirlwind of wanting more! I couldn’t stop eating it! Every spoonful just made me look forward to the 3rd! Mommy, you really outdid yourself this time. How will you ever top this?
For our next stop, we take you to a birthday party. Not just any ordinary birthday party, but a birthday party of a friend that’s much older than I am. 6 months older to be exact! Oh, what kind of trouble am I going to get into now? Those older kids really know how to party, and they’ve been around the way when it comes to getting away with things. I’m definitely excited, and a little nervous!
My man Reid knows how to throw a party! There were all kinds of food, beer, cake, and all the other grown-up things we didn’t have! As much as we tried to stay on the down-low, the paparazzi couldn’t resist getting our photos. Please, if you are sensitive to the late-night shenanigans of the hardcore partier, shield your eyes.
Well, my friends, that bring an end to this month’s adventures. There’s so much more to tell, and I’ll be back with more exciting adventures soon. Thank you so much for being here and I’ll see you soon π
