Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's Day, and Happy Belated Birthdays! Daddy's been really busy taking care of me and Mommy -- she had surgery done on her knee. Plus, Daddy's getting ready to lay to rest Windows 98 and redo our computer with a more stable, dual-booting NT-based Windows 2000/XP system (and maybe even a Linux partition). Anyway, I am sure you're anxious to see the new pictures, so here they are!

Hooray!!! I have a new cousin!!! Uncle David and Aunt Renee are the proud new parents of Corynn. She came into our world Tuesday morning at 5 pounds, 13 ounces, and 19.25 inches. In other interests, there are some new pictures of Mommy and Daddy's Christmas decorations...

Daddy says he's really sorry about how long its been since an update -- he's been recovering from some stomach problems that started acting up while we were on vacation. Anyhow, I am sure you want to jump right to the 32 new pictures and 3 new sound bytes, so I'll see you there!

8.19.2001

New pictures are up! Mommy took some great pictures of Daddy feeding me this afternoon. And Daddy put up some older pictures that Mommy wanted everyone to see. Other than that, there's not been much going on. Daddy says expect to hear some new sounds very soon!

8.14.2001

First off, Daddy says he's really sorry for not posting anything for such a long time. He and Mommy have been really busy getting the three of us settled into our new home. I will keep this entry short because I know that your really excited to see the new pictures. So, click on over to the Pictures section -- Daddy said he will try to be as descriptive as possible with the links. Oh yeah, I am now eating baby food at least a few times a day, and Mommy and Daddy make me smile whenever I am not too tired, hungry or crabby. And I love to talk to them and make cute sounds. Daddy says he will get the laptop out to record some of our conversations soon. More to come soon!

6.21.2001

Lots has happened since the last update, and Daddy apologizes for not keeping up to date -- he says he's been really busy lately doing things like taking me to Pa's birthday party in Michigan, helping Mommy out after her surgery and visiting with Grammy and Grandpa Arnold. Speaking of which, I would like to thank Teresa and the Etzler family for the fine gifts they sent with Grammy. Anyway, there are many, many pictures for your viewing pleasure, so I'm sure you're very excited to see them. Monna, the pictures in the yellow dress are for you!

6.8.2001

There are three new pictures posted in the pictures area. Both Mommy and Daddy are really tired from getting ready for Great Grandpa Beard's birthday party up in Michigan tomorrow, so unfortunately, I can't give much more description about them right now. I'm pretty tired too, so I should be getting some rest for the big weekend! We'll take many more pictures for everyone and put them up as soon as possible!

Mommy took me shopping at my new favorite store -- Old Navy. Can't seem to find clothes for me any less expensive than at Old Navy! Not only do they have clothes in my size, but they also have sunglasses in my size! Now I don't have to borrow Daddy's anymore!

5.31.2001

Just a quick update -- Daddy had the laptop out while my bottle was warming at dinnertime tonight. Here's a new soundbyte of what happens when I get hungry!

5.30.2001

Happy Memorial Day!!! It was such a busy weekend, Daddy only had time to take pictures. Finally he's gotten around to updating the website. Per Pa's request, here's my most recent picture -- just lounging away after dinner with Daddy, Mommy and Grandpa Pavelec. Mommy brought home this great swing from Cousin Kim. And then Mommy's parents were out Monday afternoon. They brought my crib and set it up in my room. Afterwards, we went to the Greek Festival in Cleveland and then off to Edgewater Park. Check out this great picture of me and Mommy with the Cleveland skyline in the background. Well, all this typing has really tired me out, so I guess I should get back to bed. Bye for now!

5.22.2001

Sorry for taking so long to write -- I've been busy recovering from the weekend. Mommy and Daddy took me to the park on Saturday for my first picnic. Here's a picture of me eating some picnic fare. And Mommy told me that the future's so bright, I'd better wear shades while suntanning!!! Then on Sunday, while Daddy and 'U.N.K.L.E.' Ryan were trying to finish off the playoffs in NHL 2000 (Go Wings!!!), Mommy took me to my second cousin's place for a flower party. She had the camera there, but forgot to take pictures :( Well, that's about it for now. I'll tell Daddy to keep taking pictures and keep my site up to date more often.

5.17.2001

Just got back from my monthly pediatrician visit and all is well. I have gained 8 ounces in the last week, bringing my overall weight up to 5 pounds 13 ounces!!! Also, I have grown another half inch, bringing my overall length to 19 inches. The doctor says that I can now be fed at my own intuition -- no more every three hours during the day and at least every 4 to 5 hours at night. I think Mommy and Daddy will really appreciate this.

Not much new for pictures right now. Just this one of me getting a head start at sleeping before Mommy and Daddy retire for the night.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.

I just got back from Monna and Papa's Mother's Day celebration extravaganza. Auntie Shelly and Uncle Ron were there with their children, Jason, Steven and Dillon. There's a new picture of Mommy, Jason, Steve and myself for your viewing pleasure in the Pictures section. And don't forget to check out the first picture of me and Grandpa Pavelec. (Still waiting on Grandma Pavelec's permission to put her's up...) Also, there's a new picture of me *learning* sign language, or so Daddy thinks.

That's about all for now. Hope you like Daddy's new web design!

My website is no longer just a bunch of links to click on. Daddy finally got around to making the changes he was hoping to do long ago! Keep checking back often for more updates! (And please excuse the mess while things are being rearranged)

Thanks,

Brianna
