9 Months Young Today

Please join in the chorus to cheer for our 'sprout' who is 9 months young today. As corny as it all sounds, it seems like only yesterday that we had a tiny, helpless little person in our midst...



...who has blossomed into a very bright, inquisitive and highly curious fellow with an amazing sense of humour and zest for life!



Join us in celebrating his health and good fortune today. We know that we speak for all your fans when we say that we cherish and adore you Mr. Jonah Django. Here's to many more happy days ahead.

Love Always,
Mom and Dad

New Heights

In previous posts, I have mentioned that I'm quite the mobile guy. I've been 'dragging' myself around the house for weeks as oppossed to 'crawling' and I have this new structure that keeps me safe and limits my exploration. I am permitted when Mom and Dad are watching to 'swiffer' around the house and here is a funny shot of me at the kitchen gate where I generally end up. Notice my shirt and how I look like a little doggy in a cage.



The latest and most exciting development is that I am now officially able to get myself to a standing position in the gated community. It happened for the first time yesterday and here is the picture to prove it.



So Mom's prediction was right. I've skipped the crawling stage, although I can sort of crawl when I can get traction but I've graduated to 'cruising' and walking is not that far behind. So look out world, djangy is a man on the move!

Busy Boy

Tomorrow marks my nine month anniversary on the palnet. This past month has proven to be the most dramatic in terms of changes happening to both myself and Mom and Dad. For one, we are all adjusting to a new routine with Dad back to full time work. It's a bit tough on us cause he works late hours but Mom and I are happy that he is happy with the position and finally making us some dosh again. Also, Mom and I are trying to stay fit and active, continuing to see our Mom & Babe friends and having regular get-togethers with the pre-natal group. (Pics to follow)Mom also had a job interview and is contemplating the end of her maternity leave with some reservations. But all these changes aside, we are a joyous and productive family unit and thank our lucky stars everyday.

Updates aside, here is a goofy picture entitled, "Double Trouble"



Here is a slightly candid photo of my friend Zane and I



And here is a hilarious photo of me on the subway, cozy as a bug in my tough trekker



Look out for tomorrows post to ring in my 9th month!

My Baby's got 'Saucer

The other day, Mom brought home this funny contraption that she found by the curb. It's called an 'EXER-SAUCER' but I call it extra-boring. Had it shown up a few months ago, I would have embraced it fully and perhaps played all day. But now with my new found mobility, it's not where I am at. I'm clearly too old for this contraption. I sort of just stand around in it and look, well I guess you could say I look extra-saucy. Hee hee.

Scenes from 'Penopticon'

"Help, help, please someone let me out."




"Psst. Over here kid."



SOUND OF EXPLOSION



"RUN for it!"

Freedom is just another word for...

Hi ya everyone,

So here I am, chewing on my maraca and hanging out in my gated city. The truth is, I'm getting more and more curious by the day and everything is moving so fast. I'm more active, more mobile, more hungry, more tired. As much as I appreciate Mom and Dad wanting me to be safe from harm, I can't help but long to break free and move around our humble, dusty flat.



This picture here speaks for itself. I often find myself pleading to be let out. Sometimes I stand up on my legs and shake the gated walls!



It's all about freedom, my children. We must escape the plastic planet.

Basket Case

As I recently published, I'm in the process of breaking out of my 'panopticon' and fleeing for the border from some retail therapy. This picture was taken after Mom caught me in the act of escaping the house using the old 'hide in the laundry basket trick'.

Seperated at birth?

But have you met Bam-Bam Losell?



It's uncanny.

Gated Community

Hey Everybody,

As you probably know by now, life here at Che Frankelsell is never boring. Take for instance the recent addition of the long overdue 'security gates' which now adorn our living room. Oh baby, how I love to be placed in my holding pen, I mean play pen to spend quality time by myself building character and deconstructing various toys. This 'gated community' as mom calls it, can be used in a variety of configurations and takes up half of the living room. Dad thinks it looks like some sort of plastic baby prison especially when put into the 'pentagon' formation.



In this picture you can't tell that I've been in 'lock-down' all day can you? But rest assured, I've been taking notes from the underground and I'll keep you posted on my plans for the great escape.

Yo Waz UP

Social Butterflies

On Friday, Nigiuq Emily came to my house for a slumber party/sleep over. We played and laughed and cuddled and ate lots of food. The following day, my great Aunt Alice and my honorary Aunt Jane came over for a tea and social visit. We ate and laughed and played some more. Here are some pictures of me and the lovely ladies.
