Girls Gone Candyland

I think this constitutes the first picture of me wearing real people clothes. My stylish Candyland shirt with pants full o'hearts really makes me look mature - don't you think? Mommy was never into dolls but I think I'm her new Barbie.

Daddy on the other hand, swooned over me like a fine Italian sports car and I must admit, I liked it.

Blog Evolves with Catchy New Title

After careful consideration and some trepidation I have decided to change the title of my little blog. I know, I know - some of you are asking yourselves, what gives you the right? Why didn't you ask first? Are you crazy? Did you ask your parents? Have you checked your diaper?

But like so many good things, we need to change and evolve over time, especially since we babies are changing so quickly at this stage of life anyway. So with that, we're moving to Inf@nt Girl until such time we move to something really creative like, "Toddler". I'm thinking of soliciting title recommendations for my next change so get those witty juices flowing, you've got at least ten or twelve months!

For those of you who are curious, Mommy and Daddy blessed this little change but don't think for a moment they had any say in the matter. After getting vaccines in both legs on Friday and crying bloody murder all afternoon I can pretty much get anything I want. They've fallen right into my steely web.

Oh ya, doctor update: I was 11lbs. 4 oz and a Yao Ming-like 23 inches tall/long! Doc was very pleased.

Words from a Wise Sage

Grandpa Eddie and I hung out for a while in Vegas. We discussed the finer points of old Vegas burlesque shows, the six pack, hanging out on Fremont street back in the 40's and how the whole thing has gone to hell in a handbasket since the good ole days. Although I didn't hear him complain too much about the view from our room or the $40/head buffet at the Wynn.

I walked away from our convo like a young Jedi Knight filled with sage advice like, "always look for a good long shot" or "don't bet on the best odds horse, its like moving money from one pocket to another."
I'll look back on my days out west fondly. And as I look to the east toward home, I know when my turn comes to hit the strip, I'll reflect back on my quiet moments with Grandpa and look for that winning $2 bet just like he use to make.

Leaving Las Vegas

I made my first trip to the City of Lights this past weekend. Mommy was very pleased with my behavior on the plane - GOLD STAR for ME! Daddy got us some stellar digs on the 60th floor of the Wynn Casino overlooking the Vegas Strip - the highest rooms in the city!

I was finally able to meet Grandpa Eddie! He was really nice and seemed to have an encyclopedic knowledge of horse racing - I think I'm covered if I ever need help in the sports book. I also met Uncle Brad and Aunt Karen who flew in from Irvine. They greeted me with a Paul Frank pillow so my surfing collectibles collection has begun! Finally, I met Aunt Molly and her son Sam and Aunt Spencer and her son Haskel. We all had a great time together, sitting around telling lies until the wee hours of the night (8:00PM.) Aunt Molly really took great care of us by letting us borrow her car and setting us up with a pack and play at the hotel!

Mommy and I are headed home on the redeye tonight - we're eager to get back home but the trip was filled with a slew of firsts for me, not the least of which was my first airplane ride!! We took lots of pictures but I haven't had the opporunity to post anything yet! I'll be sure to get to them as quick as I can!!
