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'.
