Hello everyone. I know, I know...when I took over this blog I made this promise: "I, Rory C., will post pictures and news more often than that lady ever did!" But, well, I'm a busy baby, folks. Since my last post, over a month ago (I know!) a lot has been going on. First of all, I'm now five months old. Five months! Can you believe it? Times flies when you sleep as much as I do. Last week at my 5 month appointment (before I got tortured with more shots!
Grrr!) I measured at 27 inches and 19lbs. All muscle, baby!
This guy they call Daddy likes to read to me, and so does the lady. Since I'm sitting up now (okay, with help), I'm enjoying fine literature more and more.
Speaking of reading, I got to read to my grandparents in Oklahoma a few weeks ago. That's right, I'm a world traveler. I don't know where Oklahoma is, but its very far away. You have to go down this long hallway, then get into a crowded,
noisy room they call "airplane" and sit still for about four hours. Then you're in Oklahoma. I slept through most of it.
Oklahoma was great. I met lots of new fans. Like Bebe - she's been sending fan mail for months. It was so great to finally have a chance
to sit on her!
And this is me with my Grandpa at the dinner table. We had a good time together. Oklahoma has big comfy chairs and creatures that bark. Grandpa was my tour guide through this safari.
This is my Auntie Jocelyn, and in Oklahoma we got to meet for the first time. I've been hearing a lot about her, and she's been hearing a lot about me too (I mean, who hasn't!) We had a great time together, Auntie and I!
And we took some good naps together too. With a busy schedule like mine, you've got to take time to relax on someone you love. After I woke up from these naps, I said goodbye to Grannie and Grandpa and promised to see them again in the land of Oklahoma again sometime this summer. Since I've been back home, I've been enjoying some new experiences! Like solid food!
No, not cake, silly! I'm way too careful about my figure to risk eating sugary food. But the Daddy had a birthday recently, and this is his cake. Apparently there was a big show to celebrate. I wasn't allowed to go, so it must not have been too much fun.
Anyway, back to me. Below is a picture of me modeling a new
onesie the lady's friend sent in the mail. It's my favorite. I hope this picture isn't too provocative, I really should have put on some pants. But I'm very proud of my legs. They're one of my best features.
And below I'm modeling my new high chair! Remember when I said I was enjoying solid food? Well, apparently, once you start eating it, you get to sit in a fancy chair like this.
Solid foods are amazing! Since I only have my two teeth on the bottom, everything is still pretty slushy. And they don't let me have it as much as I want. Pears are my favorite, then bananas. Next week will be sweet
potatoes! I can't wait!
Well, that's the update from The Roar. I'll be better about my posts from now on. The tour to the land of Oklahoma really threw off my posting schedule, but now I'm back, and I've got things to say!
Until next time,
Rory.
Happy Easter everyone.
WOW! Who is this handsome fellow!
"So, how long since you quit pacifying?"
Even though I'm already half, I'm still my Mama's little baby.
We also recently went down for funeral services for Mrs. Viola Boyd, a very dear lady who brought music into the lives of lots of people at my Dad's church. It was a sad occasion, but it brought me and my three first cousins, Ryan, Cydney & Hunter, all together for the first time.
Even though I'm already HALF, I'm still working on being a generous cousin, especially when it comes to sharing the spotlight!
I was reminiscing about my first week at home...ah, rockin' out until the wee hours of the morning...drinking until I passed out...twenty four hour surveillance...ample bosoms ....bloodshot eyes....Those were the days.
Here's a video too, so you can see how lovely she is. Be still my heart...

I'm going to send this one to "Muscle Magazine", along with my weightlifting tips...check out those pecs and quads, ladies!
I'm not so sure about this one though. I mean, I like the way my hair is styled over my bald spot, but I worry that this onesie makes my butt look big. What do you think?
A couple of weekends ago we made a weekend trip to Baltimore. It was cool hanging with Grandma and Pop-Pop again. But the highlight of the trip was that my Uncle Kip put ice cream on that thing I suck on all the time. Whoa! It was amazing!! I was trippin' y'all!
A valuable lesson I've learned that I hope you can all apply to your lives: If you cry loud and long enough, a lady will come along and pick you up. Works every time. Apparently it's hard on the wrists of the person doing the lifting, especially when you're almost 18 pounds of solid muscle, like me!
We hung out at a party to celebrate the Inauguration. Yep, that's how I roll: No bedtime, no curfew...nothing to cramp my style. I even did some ad placement for my favorite live show (coming again soon on March 8th!!!)
Another one of my fans came to see me - Robin. She took a bunch of these pictures. I'd autograph them for her, but I can't hold a pencil so well. BUT I really like reaching up for my mouth and trying to find the pacifier with my hand. It's fun. Sometimes I get it and I just hold it up over my head, like the trophy that it is. OK...that will have to do. I have birthday news to share, but I wanted to let everyone know of all these exciting activites. If you find yourself busy like I am, just make sure you get around 15 or 16 hourse of sleep everyday. It really makes a difference.
This stylish bear suit was sent all the way from California from my dear friend Pamela. It came just in time too - at 17lbs, 9 ounces (I know!) Rory (now 3 1/2 months old) is apparently the size of an average 6 month old. I guess it's time to stop squeezing him into the 0-3 clothes he's been wearing since he came home. Ah - some room to grow~!
And Melissa gave us this hat to keep the big noggin warm! Ah the noggin, still growing and still incredibly heavy for little Rory to lift. Hopefully he'll master the skill before he goes to college.
