Does this make me look fat?



Okay, gotta tell you about mom's recent meltdown. I have been eating all night every night so she thought she should get some feedback from the health nurse to see if that was normal... (Since when is anything I do normal?) Anyway, the health nurse told her I was eating way too much and that if she wasn't careful she may be predisposing me to childhood obesity... Needless to say she freaked out and instantly thought she was a bad parent. In actuality the health nurse has never seen me, doesn't know my situation, hasn't met my dad, and has created a lot of grief in the home. Now mom and dad are determined to get me sleeping through the night before we go on holidays and they are taking away some of my night feedings. So just to show them who is really the boss, the first night of this new plan I decided to sleep and reduce my own feedings to exactly what they had prayed about. Eventually they will learn who is really in charge around here...
Anyway, if you could pray about the bedtime situation for us anyway. Pray I don't starve and that we all start sleeping through the nights. Mom informs me that I may get to start on vegetables if I act right, little does she know that isn't much incentive- chocolate maybe, vegetables- not so much...

Meanwhile I understand the ladies at mom's work are asking about Christmas photos. Be patient my lovely ladies... I can't show everyone their Christmas card photos too soon or they will not be very surprised when they get them in the mail...

Bring on the food!!!




Greetings from daddy's locker. I had these pictures taken over a month ago already and I am much bigger than you see here. I have two teeth now and working on some more, and I am over 21 pounds! I just got to start on cereal the other day and at my 6 month check up I get to find out if I am ready for vegetables... As you can see I am in desperate need of more food... ;-)
Stay tuned for the Christmas pictures we are doing for our Christmas cards. Hopefully they will give you all a smile. Meanwhile please pray for all the little guys in the Neo-natal Intensive Care unit where they took such good care of me. I am going back for a visit to thank all the nurses and to encourage some of the others in there struggling to get better.

We had visitors...





This is my cousin Senecca. He came to visit me from Winnipeg on the way home to California. We had a blast and he was trying to teach me how to crawl... No luck yet but I have a tooth now!!! You will also notice above my best chilli pepper impressions... (My silly parents...)
Well I am officially 20 pounds now, moving up to the big-boy car seat and mom is starting to wean me onto formula. We find out next month if I can start baby food but at this point I am not too worried about gaining weight...
Stay tuned for my Grey Cup pictures, and for the week ahead please pray for safe travels for the Malveaux family, continued health for me, ease with teething and a blessing to all those that get to hear daddy speak on Grey Cup Sunday at church.

Grandpa was here!!


This is my grandpa. He always brags about being darker than me, but now that he has seen me he certainly won't try to say that he is cuter than me. For those of you wonderring where my chin came from, if that goatee was gone- you would understand... Thanks alot gramps... The pea- pod outfit was one of my four costume changes for Halloween... Compliments of DAD, not mom. I also had a chilli-pepper, the bear, and a Nacho-Libre outfit for those of you Jack Black fans.
I got to spend the day with my granny today, and I almost have a tooth to show you all. unfortunately it doesn't feel to good coming out, and needless to say dad is gagging on the stuff coming out the other end while I am teething... It is a good thing I am cute cause boy can I let them rip!!!
