MOM GOT HER CAMERA FIXED!!!!

Mom has been going crazy because I have been doing amazing, adorable stuff for over a month now and she has not been able to post any of it...until now.

These two videos were taken this afternoon within the same couple of hours. That should give you some idea of the cuteness that surrounds my mom's day.


BLOWING RASPBERRIES. 'NUFF SAID.
(By the way, the camera work is a little shaky because I kept kicking my mom's arm...sorry.)




IN MY NEW JUMPER TOY. I HAVE SO MUCH FUN IN THIS THING. THIS IS ACTUALLY A REALLY, REALLY MELLOW VERSION OF MY USUAL PLAYTIME, BUT MOM WANTED TO PUT AS MUCH UP AS SHE COULD!

Fall Fashion

Here are some super-cute pictures of me sporting some of my chilly weather threads.
By the way, I found out today that I weigh 16 lbs and 4 oz! Just call me "Chunk!"


Me in Mom's kangaroo pouch, heading out for breakfast. I'm wearing a very cute jacket that Granny got me. Could I look any more like an elf?




When we returned from breakfast. That kangaroo pouch is like NyQuil for me--I'm out in a matter of seconds. Don't make fun! It's really cozy!




This weekend, Mom bought me my first pair of jeans and a pair of baby Clark knock-offs. Daddy calls them my Daddy clothes. Here are the two of us this morning looking an awful lot alike...minus the facial hair.




And here is a close-up of me from the previous picture looking mighty adorable.




Me standing with Daddy.




Me laughing at Mom.




Me squealing at Mom.




Me talking to Mom.




So, that's it! I think Granny will especially like these because she's been hoping for some smiley pictures for a while!

Search For A Sidekick

I guess it's time I told you guys about my true identity. See, Spiderman had his Peter Parker, Superman had his Clark Kent, Batman had his Bruce Wayne...and Rocket Boy has his Poki. That's right, people. I have super powers. I can fly through the air like a rocket (with my mom's help) and save people by swooping down and planting big slobbery kisses on their faces. Hence the name "Rocket Boy." Here's the thing: I need a sidekick, and Max the cat keeps running away from me when I try to touch him, so he's out. So, I am officially opening the contest to all the Poki's Blog readers out there. If you want to be my sidekick, please leave a comment telling me why. Good luck! And remember: With great power comes great...well...great big stinky diapers. Hey--even the most powerful still gotta go poopy!

Updates...

Okay, so I'm doing some new stuff and my mom's making me tell you about it. I don't see what the big deal is, but whatever.
So, I'm really good at standing up now. My mom holds my hands and pulls me from lying to sitting, then I push up on my feet and stand on my own. Mom still holds my hands to balance me, but I do the rest. I'm really strong. Mom thinks it has to do with all the red meat she ate while I was in her belly. And when I say "in her belly," I mean when I was growing in there. Don't worry--she didn't eat a baby. I was a little confused about that at first too. So was my cousin Mason.
Speaking of eating...Mom thinks I am ready to eat some solid foods. Yesterday, I was sitting in her lap while she was eating a wrap, and I reached out and grabbed part of her sandwich and stuck it in my mouth. It was awesome. Mom and Dad couldn't believe it. Hello! I stick everything I can in my mouth, I chew on my fingers and toys, and I stare at you when you're eating...it takes me trying to eat your food for you to get a clue? Sheez.
What my mom is most excited about is this whole thing about me napping in my crib. Up until last week, I would only take a good nap if I was in my stroller or in Mom's arms. But now I'm sleeping in my crib. Mom is really happy about that for some reason. I'm kind of mad about it though because I think she is tricking me into doing it. I was perfectly happy sleeping in her arms.
Yesterday, I got an early Christmas present from Granny. It's a exersaucer/jumper. I really like it. I played in it for an hour last night. Mom will take some video of me in it soon.
Oh--did I tell you that Mom's getting her camera back this week? Yep. She got an email saying she would get it back this week, so get ready for more awesome Poki videos and pictures!
Okay, I guess that's it for now. If I think of anything else or if I start doing new stuff, I'll let you guys know.
Later.

4 MONTHS!!!!!

I'm 4 months today--can you believe it? Granny says this is the funnest age, so my mom is excited to see what the next month brings.
I won't chat for too long...I know why you guys are really here. You want to see pictures, don't you? Well, lucky you! Here are some pictures from the last few weeks. My daddy got a "lens baby" for his birthday. It's cool because you can control what part of the image is in focus and what part is distorted. Daddy tested it on his favorite model: me. So some of these are with the lens baby, and some are just regular pictures. Enjoy!

Me in my Bumbo, talking to Mom




Again in my Bumbo, looking at Dad.




Snuggle Buggle




Tummy Time




Walking wears me out!




I LOVE bath time




THIS MORNING!!!! Watching Mom load our brand new dishwasher!

Remembering The Little People...

So now that school is back in session, my mom has seen alot of people that she hasn't seen since before I was born. Wanna know what's funny? Even though they've never met me, they know me! Wanna know why? Because they are fans of Poki's Blog! I have a fan base! Even people who don't really know my mom know me because my blog has been circulating through the school. That's right, people--I'm spreadin' like wild fire!
I am so flattered and so appreciative of my fans that I want to take this opportunity to give a shout out to all the Poki-lovers out there. HOLLA!!
As soon as I can hold a pen, I'll start signing autographs.

HUH HUH HUUUH AH GOO snort EEEE!

Well people, that's a bit like the sound I make when I laugh. How do I know? Because I'm finally laughing out loud! If you listen carefully you might be able to hear my mom saying "YAAAAAAY!" She has been waiting for me to really laugh out loud for a long time. I've been sort of silently laughing for a while--where I'll open my mouth really wide and breath in and out really fast, but this, THIS is a real laugh.
Sadly, my mom still doesn't have her camera so you'll have to wait for the video...but take my word for it--it is really cute. It's me that we're talking about, after all.

Oh--by the way...in case you want to know how she finally got me to do it...it was the lobster claws. Mom makes her hands look like lobster claws and then pinch/tickles me all over. She was trying so hard, I had to throw the lady a bone.
