Sebastian "Baz" Michael Biery was born September 22, 2009 at 3:14 p.m. He weighed 8lbs 3oz and was 21 inches long. Talk about a quick labor - 2.5 hours long and only 3 pushes! Thanks for keeping things easy on me, Baz!

It's Baby Baz Day!

I checked into the hospital this morning around 7:30 a.m. to induce - my contractions are starting to come regularly and pretty strong! Hopefully it won't be long now!

10 days and counting...

I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything, but my mom is getting close to her due date (9/20) and I know my baby brother Baz will be here soon! Today marks the first date guessed in the Fantasy Baby Biery #2 game - there is still time but it doesn't look like September 10 is going to be the winning date. Look below for all the guesses in the game, and remember - it's the best out of all five categories (with the time of birth as a tie-breaker). So even if you guessed girl or your date has passed you still have a shot!

The voting is now closed for Fantasy Baby Biery 2.0 - and only 29 out of 70 people guessed boy! It's still anyone's game, since it's best out of all five categories, but 29 of you have a pretty good head start over the rest. My Great Grandpa Jim Tallman is one of the leaders - remember, he won MY Fantasy Baby Biery game - Jim, do you know something we all don't? Everyone's guesses will soon be listed below...

Bellymonster 2.0 Gender Reveal!!

nospam@example.com (Jake Biery) — Tue, 05 May 2009 11:28:51 -0400

Well - it's been awhile since I've put up an update on my life - sorry, I'm a busy boy! It's no secret that my mommy and daddy are having a new baby - watch the video below to find out if it's a boy or a girl!

I don't envy you!

nospam@example.com (Jake Biery) — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:22:00 -0500

My mom and dad have been telling me about the crazy snow storm that's happening right now back in Portland - and today my friend Logan Baranick sent me a picture of him and his parents all bundled up outside. Crazy! Stay warm buddy, this is what we were doing!

Just like the TV Show!

nospam@example.com (Jake Biery) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:34:00 -0500

Well...my fun Florida vacation took a turn for the worse today. I have been feeling kind of like a sicky-boy, and today everyone got so worried about me that my mom and GramJan took me to the Emergency Room! I thought it was kind of fun, they gave me a Beanie Baby and let me play with all sorts of cool stuff. They even gave me a popsicle at the end! Bad news is that I have the flu and my first ear infection. Bummer. Lets hope I get better soon!

Sunshine where have you been?!

nospam@example.com (Jake Biery) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 17:29:00 -0500

I've been in Florida for almost 48 hours and I am loving it! My mom, dad, Papa and GramJan and I decided to leave snowy Portland four days early, to make sure we were able to get down to Florida for Christmas and New Years. You didn't hear me complain. I get to play with my cousins Grace and Anna for four extra days and swim every day if I want to!

Applesauce!

nospam@example.com (Jake Biery) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:20:32 -0500

Last night my mom and dad gave me some yummy applesauce! I coudn't really figure out how to get it onto my spoon, so I just decided to eat it with my bare hands!

Who is this guy?

nospam@example.com (Jake Biery) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 18:57:30 -0500

Today my parents took me to see this guy named Santa Claus. It took me a while to realize how important and special he was! After this photo he and I had a good chat -- and I got to eat my first candy cane!

My first toothbrush!

nospam@example.com (Jake Biery) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 09:26:24 -0500

My mom and dad bought me my very first toothbrush, and I'm learning how to use it all by myself. Brushing teeth is fun!

VIDEO-RAMA

My mom FINALLY figured out how to get all the videos she's been taking of me off of her digital camera. Here are a couple of the highlights...for your viewing pleasure!

My first professional photo session!

nospam@example.com (Jake Biery) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:08:45 -0500

Today my mom and dad got the pictures back from my first-ever professional photo session! We think they are great - my mom and dad had a hard time choosing which ones to use for our Holiday Cards!

Even though I woke up with kind of a wonky eye that day, everything turned out fine. Here are a few of my favorite pictures...

If you like what you see and you live in Portland, you should contact Posy Quarterman. She was super nice and easy to work with!

My first date!

nospam@example.com (Jake Biery) — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 08:42:00 -0500

Yesterday I took my friend Mia for a ride in my new wagon! We're not old enough to really go on a date, so our parents had to come along. The more the merrier! After we got nice and dirty at the park, we went home for a cozy warm bath!

Wow...I'm a slacker!

I know, I know...it's been a long time since I've updated my blog. What can I say, a lot has been going on! Football season started, and I went to a couple of really fun football games down at Autzen Stadium. I also went all the way to Annapolis, Maryland to visit my mom's friends Anne and Scott and meet their son, my new BFF Hastings...and then Mom, GramJan and I flew to New York to see my Uncle Chris and Aunt Krissy.

When we got back, it was time for my first birthday! I had two parties, a pirate-themed party with all my close friends and family and a halloween-themed joint birthday party with my playdate friend Tom. We have the same birthday - cool, huh?!
