Dad and aunt Viv officially got their photo venture up and running today with the “Free Halloween Portraits”. Wonderully staged in the front yard, flyers placed all over Hoboken and my neighbor aunt Erin dragging everyone and their brother over, the day was a success. I of course was their first client. (Naturally, who the heck else would it have been?). These are the shots. Having a photographer as a dad has its advantages you know.
So enough is enough already, I am hungry. After much adieu, mom and dad finally decided to let me in on the real food. Just oatmeal for now but hey, I have been drinking nothing but milk for 5 months! Enough already. It went ok for my first time. A bit on the messy side but I suppose that was to be expected. The plastic bib helped out a lot. There are a few more in the gallery too.
Here is the gallery
So after much adieu we finally got on to the matter of the pumpkin shot. Grandpa carved out a cute “Cooper” pumpkin. In their quest to be crazy, mom and dad didn’t end up shooting me near this. We finally got around to that now though so don’t worry. Actually, we made a day of picture taking as this will be the first Halloween of my life.
Well what do you know, a blackout. This is actually pretty funny. So mom and dad get the babysitter as per usual and mom runs out to dinner at Outback and a movie (High School Musical 3, don’t ask. Even I wouldn’t see that). Dad was going out with aunt Liz. Nearing the time of departure, the lights go out. POOF! Out, literally, like a light. However, just on our block. Figures. So dad sat in the dark for 3 hours including giving me a bath, etc. Here are the highlights. If he is feeling daring, he will post the pictures he took while in the dark. Seriously, dad has issues. Hey, whatever to pass the time. Taking a bath by flashlight was fun though!
Ok so it is flippin’ cold now. Too cold to go outside. So, mom got this silly suit which will extend our walking capabilities after work for another few weeks hopefully. As well it may stop me from getting a cold every other day due to this ridiculous cold I continue getting. It is a little big for me yet but it is fuzzy like you couldn’t imagine and warm, warm, warm.
So hey, come to my house and play by my rule I say. And my #1 rule has to be, “throw up on all guests”. As uncle Ryan found out today, I really stick to this rule; no exceptions. It started out innocently enough, just a visit and a few candid shots the BAM! Milkey everywhere.
So hello again. Reporting here on a blast from the blog past. A while back you may remember me noting my future girlfriend. Well luckily our parents are doing their part to ensure that this happens. The latest attempt was them arranging a mall date. We even did lunch. I am telling you…
A slow ride around the mall and a nice lunch at Joe’s American Bar & Grill and then, yes, more mall and voila! you have another weekend in the Hampton house. Watch out Colleen, here I come.
Ok, what the heck is this? Mom has officially lost her mind. Granted, it is ridiculously cold out right now for me. (I have NEVER felt this weather ever). However, from what I hear, this only gets colder. That being said, mom gets the bright idea that we should get me a hat. After all 80% of body heat is lost via the head. Blah, blah, blah. This is silly! So here is the hat “we” chose. C’mon, do you see this thing? Mom thinks it is hilarious. I think these are the things therapy is made for later in life. At the very least we have proof so that I can show this to my shrink. Proof is good.
