My new Ride (Part 2): Classic Cruiser Silver Speedster!

This Christmas thing is really cool.  I got to dress up in  my Santa shirt and funny red hat.  It had a cotton ball on the tip, so funny!  Mommy got me some really cool blocks.  I can build with them, or I can just chew on 'em.  Daddy got me a talking doggy, but he's kinda scary.  I dunno, maybe I'll grow to like him over time.  My Grandma and Grandpa got me some fleece sleep outfits. My Uncle Barney got me some new clothes and a track suit!  Now I can be a real hipster and hang out in SOMA...

My buddy Oscar got me this really cool gift!  I can't believe he got it for me, that was so generous of him. This is my second "new ride", well... if you don't count Mommy!  The Silver Speedster is obviously inspired by the Auto Union (nee Audi) Type D racer.  Daddy's gonna get me  a "four rings" emblem for it.  I think I should also have my name on the side.  Mommy is not a big fan of me racing, but I'm a safe driver and I'm gonna get a little helmet.

I got my Mommy a Gore-Tex jacket from Swoosh.com.  I got Daddy the Orange Box for his Xbox 360. I didn't get anyone anything else cause I'm just a baby...

New kicks: Nike Air Me!

So Daddy took a day off work and played stay-at-home-Dad for a day. I don't think he'll be doing that anymore. I was being a bit difficult, but you can't blame a little guy. My Mommy wasn't here, I wasn't feeling well and Daddy really threw off my schedule. I wasn't feeling the bottle today and I didn't eat for like 7 hours! When we finally got home I scarfed down four bowls of solid foods. Daddy tried to give me some water in a sippy cup, but I didn't like that either.

The one bright part of the day is that we spent some time at The Great Mall and I got to people-watch. I love watching people, especially other kids. I think they're funny and I make funny comments to Daddy when people walk by. You see all kinds of folks at the mall!

Daddy spent a TON of time at the Nike Store. I think he was having a hard time finding Mommy something cool. We finally left with only stuff for Daddy... and ME! I got another pair of shoes, and they're not Converse this time. Daddy got me some Air Max basketball shoes. I think he was jealous of how cute I would look, so he got himself a pair as well. Look at the difference!

We're going to play some one-on-one when I can walk. I think I can take the old man.

I'm 6 months today - Shots and Santa

What a day! I'm officially 6 months old. Wow, that's quite a long time. I'm finally getting the hang of this baby gig. I'm pretty good at my job. Eat, sleep, poop, sleep, wake Mommy and Daddy up at 4am. I'm an expert by now. I wonder what the next 6 months will be like. I hear I'll be getting a lot of presents when I turn one. Start saving up now people! Max needs some new toys...

The one bad thing about getting older are the doctor's visits that come with it. Today was no different. Dr. Brown is a nice guy but I just wasn't feeling it. I mean c'mon, do I really need all these shots? I'm just a baby! Why you gonna mess up my perfectly plump thighs with some needle marks? I hate needles, they hurt like a mother! I had to get a bunch of vaccines and it was painful. Of course as soon as the male nurse was done, my Mommy picked me up. Whew! Safe at last. Sure I shed a few tears, but I'm a baby! I toughed it out though, I stopped hurting as soon as I was in Mommy's arms. And I knew they had another surprise for me...

So we drove to Mommy's office, and I thought, "Ok, time to look cute! Mom's just wants to show me off to the crew." No problem, part of being a baby is getting shown off. I got no problem with that! But when we pulled up to the lot, Mommy went to a different building. That's when I saw it... The Intuit Winter Wonderland Party! They had the Hogwarts Express out front giving choo-choo train rides. We went inside and there was the Harry Potter picture station, the Wizard Wand station, the Bertie Bott's (Jelly Belly) dispensary, and the roving witches and wizards, one of whom had a real live snake! Okay, so it was a bit much on the commercialism (Thanks WB!), but it was fun nonetheless. There was this old dude in a funny red suit and everyone was waiting on line to get pictures with him. I didn't see what the big deal was, but Mommy wanted me to get a picture as well. Check it out below.

I'm pretty cute huh? I'm on this dude's "nice list". This means I'm gonna get hella cool toys!

There were tons of other kids there, and Daddy got to try out some "Butter Beer". He's such a lush! Mommy did eventually take me over to her building and of course her co-workers all love me. I'm quite loveable you know. If not, check the pic again...

First Track Day - for Mommy and Me!

My Mommy rocks! She did a hot lap of Sears Point, aka Infineon Raceway, in an S4 no less. 340hp of big thumping V8 power! I knew she was a good driver, but my Mommy's a racer!

It was part of the Audi Driving Experience and it was pretty cool. It was my first time at the track, but hopefully won't be my last. I was too young to participate, but Daddy did push me around in my PT Sport. And my Uncle Plato took care of me while Mommy and Daddy did some auto-x type exercises. Mommy rocked the emergency lane change (slalom) exercise. She was really fast and smooth - all signs of a great driver. Daddy was next and got the car sliding sideways! The instructors gave him a big thumbs down and said ESP saved his butt. The next time around he did okay, but I still think my Mommy is the better hotshoe.

I was hoping she would get the ride along in the R8 for "Most Improved Driver". She didn't, but that's probably because she's a pretty good driver to start with.

So when do I get to do some laps? Daddy is getting me a Recaro seat for my first birthday!
