Snoopy band-aids and my weight issues

Hello,

Right now, as mommy writes this, I am sleeping in the living room, under the fan. It sure is hot outside! Mommy wants to take me swmming, but apparently I am too little.

I don't think that I am so small. Today I had a doctor's appointment for my 2 month birthday, which is on Wednesday. (Feel free to send a gift. I'm not really registered anywhere, but I will accept most anything, including cash.) I was weighed and learned that I weigh 11 pounds, 1 ounce. Mommy and Daddy argued after they found out about that. It seems that they had a bet going beforehand regarding how much I actually weighed. The winner got to sleep for a whole night while the loser had to take care of my every nutritional whim. (Why you would actually want to sleep rather than play with me, I'll never understand...) Mommy said that I would probably weigh 10 pounds and Daddy thought that I would weigh 12 pounds. They both thought that they won the bet, but I think that Mommy was actually the real winner. Actually, I say "buy a scale, weigh me at home on a regular basis, and quit embarassing me in public."

Anyway, I am now 22.5 inches long and my head is a whopping 37.8 centimeters. That means that I have a big brain in there. I also got some shots while at Dr. Booker's office. They hurt, but not too bad. I thought about making a scene and crying a lot, but I only managed about 30 seconds worth on noise. I decided that I was too tired to care. Anyway, I got some pretty Snoopy band-aids plastered all over my legs, so it was all worth it in the end.

This weekend we get to go to Lubbock and meet the rest of the fam. It's going to be Mommy's birthday next week and she would like to spend it with her family. I haven't decided what to get her yet. I'm thinking of a big, full poopy diaper. Those are always fun. I am supposed to meet with Father Davis Price while we are there and discuss baptism. I hope that they do it soon. Some cool water on my head sounds great in this heat! If anyone would like to get together with me while I am in town, just let me know. I will be there until Thursday.

Well, I need to go. There is still so much left to do today. I have at least a couple of meals left to plan before I go to bed. Thanks for dropping by and don't forget to leave me a message!!

Love,

Evan Beggs

Pretty Lame 4th of July

Hi everyone! Yesterday was the 4th of July! It was okay, but it rained a lot, so I decided to sleep through most of it. I did wake up long enough to wet on my flag onesie and to watch some fireworks on TV. At one point Mommy and I dance around the living room to some patriotic music. That was fun, but she's kind of goofy... I am growing a mile a minute. This Friday (7/7/06) I will be 6 weeks old! I started making real smiles at Mommy and Daddy this week, but I'm being stingy with them. I say, let them work for my approval. I met my Grandaddy a couple of weeks ago and I also met my Aunt Paige and Uncle Chris. It's fun meeting new family, 'cause they all hold me, kiss me, and tell me how cute I am. I am pretty darn cute you know. I can even get people in the grocery store to stop and tell me how cute I am. Mommy and Daddy think that I should be a baby model and earn some money. Then, they can quit their jobs and wait on me hand and foot all day, as I have become accustomed. Anyway, I will update you on my charmed life again soon. In the meantime, check out some new pictures on the website and take our newest poll.
Ciao,
Evan
