The shirt says it all - my Dad rocks!

September is a packed month! Nonni and Papa's birthdays are a week apart so we had one giant shindig at their casa. It was so good to see my cousin Duncan again! Here we are with our Mommies. I'm sure you can imagine how difficult it was to get a pic of the two of us sitting still at the same time.
Now I am doing tummy time on my mat and Tank is watching me struggle. What is it with you people!? Would someone (or some dog) please flip me over to where I am more comfortable?
My Daddy's hands are so big and strong! One day I will be strong like Daddy but for now I just love holding his hands. It makes me feel so safe.
Mom was telling Dad how it's important for babies to have new sensory experiences so Dad gave me a banana to mangle. It's squishy and I think I like it!!

Here I am meeting Great Grandma Robinson for the first time. Mom told me lots of stories about what a cool chick Grandma is so I couldn't wait to meet her. One might say she couldn't get enough of me :)
Here I am doing tummy time on my changing table. I'm struggling to avoid a face plant and Mommy is snapping pics. Geez woman! Help a baby out!
Give me a pound!
This is me and my buds at my Mom's preggie class. The last class was called BYOB (Bring Your Own Baby). After months of preparing together the Mommies gathered to tell their birth stories. What I wouldn't have given for some earmuffs! Shortly after this photo was taken I began sleeping 6 hours at a time during the night. I figured it was the least I could do, given all I put Mommy through.
Here I am riding Tank. This is neither the first nor last time. Dad is in hot pursuit of a doggie saddle. If anyone finds one please call my Dad.
This is me on my first date. Mia is my girlfriend. Isn't she lovely? Mia and I were born on the same day! I am an older man by about 11 hours.
I hate to brag but I am one cool dude in my sunglasses! Truthfully, I need them. If the sun gets in my face without them, I am not happy and Mommy will surely hear about it.
I strike this pose often, especially while swinging or chillin' in my carseat. Clearly I am destined for the Hokies special teams unit. Block that punt!
I've been known to spit a little after meals. Mommy was able to catch the drizzling 'participle' on camera. Thanks for coining such an awesome phrase Papa!
This is me recording my first number one hit. Just kidding. The hearing test machine was broken while I was in the hospital so we came back two weeks later for the test. Hated it!

Elias had a little lamb...lalalalala. I love my bouncy seat! Thanks Great Grandma Robinson!
Dad and I love to snuggle and nap. The only thing harder than being a new parent is being a baby. Growing is hard work!
My aunt Megan is awesome! She and Duncan stayed with us for a week and took good care of us. Here she is holding me and my cuz while making eggs for Mom. " Opree calls it multi-taskin' ".
Check out my sweet faux-hawk! My cousin Duncan and I rock the iconic 'do on occasion...thanks to aloe vera gel and hip Moms :)

I visited my pediatrician when I was four days old. I had my first blow out and Mom and Dad had to cut off my onesie to avoid dragging poo through my hair.
This is my big bro Tank trying to figure me out. Nonni is facilitating the meet and greet.
Sorry for taking so long to post new pics. It's been a busy few weeks at the White House. Let's pick up where we left off...at week 1.
