April 2006


I had these pictures in my camera, and it nearly exploded from the sheer amounts of cuteness. You be my witnesses.

Where my homeboys at!?

He’s quite charming… Lock up your daughers

Yo, dawg, wazzup in the hizz-ouse

Gettin’ down wit da beat, yo!

Flashing gang signs… I swear I didn’t teach him this

The child?

He rolls.

He rolllllllllllssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*commence freaking out*

Yesterday, during tummy time, I got up to put something away, and turned around. Shepherd was on his side and almost over on his back. “Hmm,” I said, “he’s getting close. He’ll be rolling by next week.” Then, when Forrest got home, I was all, “Look what Shepherd can almost do. He can get on his side!!” and Shepherd decided, “Mommy, you’re full of poo. I can roll all the way over.” And just like that, rolled onto his back. With Daddy watching.

He’s 9 weeks old y’all!!!!!!! And no, I didn’t help him, or set him up to roll. I just plopped him down on his stomach and he promptly rolled over. I’m still in shock, because my little boy is growing up.

*sigh*

At the risk of insulting everyone else who gave us gifts (wonderful gifts, I might add).. Forrest and I received a gift for Shepherd yesterday that totally rocked. You probably don’t know this, but the inspiration for Shepherd’s name came from Shepard Fairey, a graphic designer who conducted an experiment in Phenomenology known as the Obey Giant campaign. Here’s a sample of what the Obey posters look like:

With that in mind, one of Forrest’s co-workers made Shepherd a onsie…

Isn’t that GREAT?! I laughed so hard because that’s Shepherd in the picture…. OBEY SHEPHERD!!!!!
