Yes, we are slackers.

Yeah, it's been a while. I've been busy, what do you want from me!?


I've got some sweet new skillz.
We had a visit from Evan and Uncle Paul - it was totally sweet.
Evan and I rock the playdoh mustaches!
I show Evan some of my trademarked dance moves...
And play him my latest hit (You Are My Sunshine).
We also visited some farms and got to go on a hayride...
And the nice farmer let me DRIVE THE TRACTOR!!!!
And no trip to a farm is complete without a ride on the rooster!
I'm really digging Seattle. We get to go throw rocks in Puget Sound all the time. Note my post-throw kick, it's very important for balance.And there are lots of great swing-slides (aka "playgrounds").

There's tons of cool hikes nearby, too. Sometimes I ride in style...
but mostly mama and dada have to chase me.
We carved a pumpkin for Halloween that came all the way from Idaho (thanks, Pop!)
I've also taken up bowling.
I pretty much rock!Don't ever disrupt my artistic flow, man.

Christmas was a blast! I got to hand out all the presents. Most of them were for me.
Pops got this weird Slanket thing. He likes to pretend he's the Pope when he wears it.
Here's Papa an Grandmama, Mamoo, Mama, Me and Pops on Christmas
And then Papa, Grandmama, Mama, Me and Dada for good measure.And now, without further ado, it's our readers' Number One Favorite Blog Feature:

Stuff On My Head!!!!

Motorcycle Cap!

Spaceman!
Homemade "Los Pollitos" Helmet! (That's Baby Chicks in Spanish)
I'm Officer Friendly!
And Carmen Miranda!
I'm appalled that you want to change my diaper!
And scandalized that you think I need a bib.
Another homemade gem...

ROAR!!! I'm a happy scary lion!
And sometimes I even get Mamoo and Mama to join in on the fun.And that's all I've got for you today! Hope you've enjoyed catching up with me!
Ciao,

Holiday Update!

Hello very very loyal readers.  Sorry for the long long long time between posts, but I seriously didn't see this whole holiday craziness coming.  Seriously!  Between Mama's birthday, Christmas with Mimi and Pop, and then another Christmas with Grandmoms and Grandpops, it has been an unbelievably busy couple of weeks!



Here's me and Mama on her birthday.  They have this weird thing with wrapping up this orange hat every year as a gag gift.  Pops says I look like Kubla Kahn.

Snuggling with Dad on his favorite couch at Mimi and Pop's:



Me and Ali Cat and my cousins Evan and Macy.  Ali is Aunt Holly's best friend's daughter.

Evan was really nice and played with me a lot!

Aunt Holly and Uncle Paul got me this sweet bear outfit!  It's so soft and warm.

Aunt Holly was nice and let me eat her remote!

Christmas Morning

Dad got carried away when throwing out used wrapping paper:

Me and Mimi and Pop in their new house:



This is me and my dad's best friend, Greg and his son Luke.  We met for Thai food, but those meanies wouldn't give me any coconut ice cream.


Bath time!



Me and mama and dad's friend Derek (aka the Dirkie)


Kim and I try to figure each other out.  She calls me Muffin.


Did I mention that I am now mobile?  Yep, I started crawling on Dec. 31st.  Towards the computer.  And mama.  They'll never stop me now! Bwahhahahahah!


I also have lots of video to load up, as soon as I figure this YouTube thingie out.  Stay tuned for Why I Hate Bananas and A Treatise on Why Wrapping Paper is the Best Thing Ever.

Until then I remain your humble adorable baby,
Silas T. Hickox
