Day 22 (6/19/08): Mr. Old Face, originally uploaded by DanIzzo.

It could be the hair, or possibly the wrinkles. Maybe it’s the hiked up pants.

And yet, we keep giving them to him. Maybe if he wasn’t such a sloppy eater . . . and pooper.

We brought Marty and Frank to Trish’s school to see her kids. They really loved the both of them. Frank really took a shine to school. Then again, he loves anyplace where he has access to crayons and pencils.



Day 20 (6/17/08): Mr. Snuggle, originally uploaded by DanIzzo.

Marty really likes to lie on me. That’s one of the advantages of babies at this age. All they want is hugs, food and diaper changes. You know, just like that crazy guy on the corner.



Day 16 (6/13/08): Brothers-in-Arms, originally uploaded by DanIzzo.

Frank has been asking to hold Marty. Of course, Frank rarely sits down and I suspect that he wanted to hold him and then drop him as soon as he grew bored of him. This is what he does with his toys. I finally convinced Frank to sit down and screamed for Trish to get the camera.

Frank didn’t drop him . . . or the crayon.

And don’t worry, that look of terror on Marty’s face is pretty standard for babies when they’re fresh out of the oven.



Day 13 (6/10/08): The King of Burps, originally uploaded by DanIzzo.

I’ve got the magic burping shoulder. I think it’s because I’m willing to whack him a bit harder than his mother. Than his mother would whack him, that is. I couldn’t hit anyone harder than I hit his mother. That woman can really take a hit.

My sister, Frank’s godmother, came and stayed with us. It was really a great visit, and Frank loved hanging out with Aunt Ker.



Day 13/748 (6/10/08): The Brothers, originally uploaded by DanIzzo.

Frank really loves the hell out of Marty. He’s always trying to give him cookies, and drinks. And poke his eyes out. Which is just his way of saying “Hey, what’s up?”



Day 11 (6/8/08): Bath time, originally uploaded by DanIzzo.

this is his second bath. He’s on the same bath hating path as his brother.
