Merry Xmas!

Merrier Xmas!, originally uploaded by Okie Wampus.

Unfortunately, this Christmas was an extremely small affair with a blizzard keeping all apart. We tried to make the best of it here.

Feet of a Giant

This baby is growing FAST. And with these feet, I'm predicting 6'5" or 6'6" - perfect new QB height.

Of course we're teaching Sangster to use the computer. It's 2009 for goodness sakes.

This was taken in early December, a time when Sangster had hair. I thought it would be good to capture the sad times as well. Here is where I told him that Pepe's requires diners to wear shirts.

Camden and David visit

The kids from Brooklyn stopped by in early December to say "What's up" to the little man.

Sangster found a new position to chillax.

Sangster and Cousins Meet

We tried to surprise the arrival of New York family at Will Rogers World (not international) Airport, but we waited at the wrong place and missed them. So we had to meet them in the parking lot of Bricktown Hotel (NOTE: Bricktown Hotel is nowhere near Bricktown, for better or worse). They had been in pre-Thanksgiving airport limbo in airports of other states for too long, but the reactions were worth it.

Sangster and His Granddad

The two redheads share moments us non-gingers can't understand.

Sangster in Green Sack

This photo is blurry because I didn't want to use the flash so early in the morning on a recently awakened boy. But I had to get a picture of Sangster in his little green sleep sack.

Red Suited Sangster

Sangster wears red and white for the game today. And like his diapers, this game stinks. Good thing we're distracted with his cuteness.

Brooklynites Invade

Mai and Robert and young Ruby came by after a long trip from the 718. Fun was had (except one household member felt left out).

Sangster had a little lamb

Sangster's starting to engage more with the world. He really took to this stuffed lamb. This isn't him at his most focused, but he's getting there.

Another Band of Visitors

Daltrey came with her parents Lindsay and Andy. They brought black beans and rice (delicious!) for us and coconut cake (delicious as well!). I proudly used my many years of Spanish to tell Andy black beans and rice were called "Cristianos y Moros" in Spain. Fortunately, attention was diverted by Sangster then or Andy would have had to hear other great Spanish trivia like how I would be called El Pedorro later in the evening.

I caught Daltrey in the classic "point at the baby" pose. The over/under on pics of other infants doing the same pose on this blog is 3.5. It's a natural instinct I think.

Sangster = 10 Days Old

This pattern of dots that's in his crib set fascinates Sangster. They keep him occupied so me and Suzy can leave for our favorite bar in Moore for a couple of drinks. He never knows we're gone!

Shelly and Sangster

Shelly Takes In Sangster, originally uploaded by Okie Wampus.

You're not going to believe this, but Shelly has a master's in library science. Sangster's hair looks blond or red depending on the angle. I call it lenticular hair. Look it up!

Darren Has a Halo

Darren and Shelly came by to see tiny Mr. Reynolds.

Sangster Hiccups

Sangster Hiccups, originally uploaded by Okie Wampus.

Last night found Sangster restless and active. Here's a quieter moment of hiccupping (a habit he's carried over from being in the womb). There is a HUGE surprise in this video where he does something else besides hiccup in the video. I won't say what it is, but I told him Gesundheit after.

Mother and Child

This is the spot where you'll find Sangster most of the time. He loves sitting up there after a good feeding. This was taken during Sangster's first OU game - a 65-10 shellacking of the Texas A&M Aggies - a good sign I think.

Steph and Sangster

Steph and Sangster, originally uploaded by Okie Wampus.

Steph took a break from mailing Sweet Potato Awareness Month cards to friends and family and came to visit with daughter Millie and friend Traci. Steph has two kids (Archie and the aforementioned Millie) and had some nice advice and tales for us. I like this shot a lot.

Traci and Sangster

Traci came to visit during her lunch hour. Though babies "freak" her out, she gave Sangster enough holding time for me to snap this pic.

NOTE: Traci is NOT saying the Pledge of Allegiance. She's covering up the logo on her shirt.

Millie Gives The Stinkeye

I quickly snapped this and ran off in fear of getting beaten up by this tiny Gerry Cooney.

Seriously, though, this is one sweet cute baby!

Millie Drops In

10 month old Millie came in and sat there in a menacing fashion. Look at her being mean as a snake.

Jack Espies Something Tiny

Jack came by twice today. Earlier with his dad, Jerkface, and then later with his mom Jill. Jack was a fun visitor and is welcome any time! Unlike the other young visitor today who was a NIGHTMARE.

Jack Points At Awesomeness

Little 22 month old Jack Richardson takes a look at Sangster.

Sangster wiggles

Seeing if video works here. The size of a regular video is CRAZY huge so I'll play with sizes to see what I can do. That's Sangster's Aunt Kelly behind him.

Sleeper Deluxe

Sleeper Deluxe, originally uploaded by Okie Wampus.

The Sleeper I refer to is the outfit which I think is a hand-me-down from Archie, but don't quote me is from a consignment sale. Sangster is still striving to be the sleeper deluxe, but needs some work at it.

Hands looking better!

We're Home

This is a blurry shot from Wednesday evening. Corky was on the bed and of course jumped off when I tried to capture her sitting by Sangster.

Thumbsucker

Nursery visit after being born. Hands have that gray wrinkly "not ready yet" look. This is where you can really see the reddishness of his hair.

Welcome, Peoples!

All the cool kids have their own blogs, so we thought Sangster Penn Reynolds should too. Please be patient with his nerdy dad while he figures out how to put up periodic photos documenting the growth and sheer handsomeness of his son. Also please forgive spelling and grammatical mistakes. He'll be a bit sleep-deprived.
