The Melton Family Chronicles

Our new home sweet home

2009-04-24T19:06:00.000-07:00

What an awesome realtor you he must have had to go put a big red bow and a nice card on the door!!

Master Mower

2008-09-14T20:30:00.000-07:00

Chandler loves to be just like Daddy and doing yard work is the same....How cute is this kid?? Let's hope he is half as "helpful" when he is old enough to actually mow the yard.

The big boy get's his big bed.

2008-08-06T08:52:00.000-07:00

Well Haverty's came and put the bed together and Chandler loves it. He jumped right on it and said "My night night!" We are hoping this helps the transition in to being a big brother. Fingers crossed.

PEE PEE in the potty

2008-08-04T13:16:00.000-07:00

WOW! He did it. Chandler stood at the door of his bathroom saying My Potty, My Potty. So I turned on the light he sat on the potty and well the rest is Pee Pee history. His first time going potty in the big boy potty. Yeah!!!!!!

Baby Pool

2008-08-03T08:54:00.000-07:00

Ok so as we all know Chandler LOVES water. Well today he decided to make the Big bowl of water for the dogs into his own baby pool. Got to love his spirit.

We have a new home.

2008-07-10T17:23:00.000-07:00

We are sooooo glad to be out of that other house and into our new home. Yeah!!!!!

This is an older picture the grass in now green and the tree has leaves, but you get the idea.

Chandler and Auntie Holly

2008-07-08T15:18:00.000-07:00

I got you!!
Auntie Holly came over for a visit and wrestling match. I think she won!

My first Pig pickin'

2008-06-28T17:00:00.001-07:00

We went to my offices 2nd annual pig pickin' at Wally's house right on the Ashley river.

Chandler just wanted to eat chips and salsa oh and pineapple
As you can see he was having a great time.

2008-06-28T17:00:00.000-07:00

Brother or Sister coming soon

2008-05-11T17:21:00.000-07:00

Trae and I had two picture frams made for our moms in Savannah for mother's day and this is the photo we included.

Mud man

2008-03-24T13:34:00.001-07:00

Boys and MUD they go hand in hand.

Easter eagg hunt

2008-03-24T13:28:00.000-07:00

Chandler LOVED the easter egg hunt. Although he gt so excited about finding the eggs he ended up cracking 6 out of 10.

Did I do that?

2008-02-18T18:46:00.000-08:00

This is way you can't leave little boys alone even for a minute. A whole roll of toilet paper FUN!

Ridie Ridie Ginger

2008-02-16T18:40:00.000-08:00

Good thing Ginger loves Chandler or at least tolerates him well.

one for you, one for you and one for me

2008-02-16T18:11:00.000-08:00

So Chandler has found that since he is often fed to avoid a huge mess. It would be a good idea to feed the dogs in order to avaoid a big mess as well.

I guess since the dogs eat it it can't be too bad right?...wait they also lick their butts. Oh well

fallen Leaves and fallen boys

2008-01-30T18:35:00.000-08:00

Five days after his eye surgery he's doing GREAT and it looks like we are in the clear no more clogging. Even after playing in the dirty leaves for an hour.

I think he's FULL

2008-01-28T18:43:00.000-08:00

This is his way of saying No More Food thank you! Do you love that face or what.

Eye duct surgery

2008-01-25T18:16:00.000-08:00

We finally got Chandler's eye duct fixed at least we are hoping so. I took him the Dr. Saunders at the storm eye institute on the 7th and he said that he thought that he could fix it without putting in a tube so this morning. Trae and I took him in for surgery at 7:45 and as you can see Chandler is doing just fine. It only took about 30 minutes and he was done...the longest 30 minutes Trae and I have ever spent. But now Chandler is home and happy and if this works he will be extra happy that I'm not going to be massaging his eye or putting drops in it any more. Fingers are crossed.

Love those glasses daddy.

A king and his thrown

2008-01-10T18:06:00.000-08:00

Every King should have his thrown...and so he does and apparently it is far funnier when your thrown is up on the couch.

Festival of lights.

2007-12-10T09:12:00.000-08:00

Chandler loved all the lights.

I don't think Daddy is going to like this hat Aunt Christy.

Boy that was FUN!!! We didn't get home till almost midnight.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ME!!!!

2007-12-01T09:22:00.000-08:00

Thanks for the help Gump!

I say let's do this again next year.

MY FIRST THANKSGIVING...

2007-11-28T19:31:00.000-08:00

I am going to be eating alot so I will just take my pants off now.

I think daddy ate tooooo much.

Lovin my memaw.

Chandler taking a stroll with Great grandma Melton.

My First Camping trip.

2007-10-22T07:43:00.000-07:00

We took our family Camping trip to Asheville NC the 19th-21st. And after my forgetful parents took an hour detour through rural Spartanburg to find Formula we arrived at our little campsite on the French Broad river.

I tested out the air mattress to make sure it was up to my standards. It will do

Nothing like some milk by the fire.

We went to Chimney rock the next day.

I went on my first, second and third bus ride within the first 30 minutes of arriving since my parents didn't think to bring a second diaper or even change the one i was in. Boy it's hard to train parents these days.

After 20 Minutes of stair climbing we finally made it to the top.

We also went to what we thought was going to be the beautiful Hickory Nut Falls but due to the drought this is what we found instead. At least it was a nice walk.

When in the woods a man has to do the primal SCREAM.

I also got to order off the menu at Cracker barrel and had my first taste of Grits and I LOVE them.

I can't wait to go again.

Charlestown Landing.

2007-10-07T07:34:00.000-07:00

It's the stockade for you Mister.

I was just kidding!

Who Me?

I'm FREE!

Just sitting around.

2007-09-27T07:28:00.000-07:00

Look at that big boy just sitting there looking too cute.

getting out of the chair proves challenging.

Getting back in the chair is even more difficult.

Reading is fundamental!

2007-09-25T07:23:00.000-07:00

Our little book worm. He loves books I just wish he was a little nicer to them.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

2007-09-10T07:43:00.000-07:00

Chandler LOVES Carrots he just can't seem to get enough as you can see. He loves to wear them, play with them through them, squish them as well as eat them. Who know?

Bouncing baby hippie boy.

2007-08-28T08:44:00.000-07:00

What a cutie huh.

Check out how long his hair is getting...a little hippie boy I think he gets that from his daddy.

he is a wild man I think that comes from his daddy too.

And the eyelashes that's all daddy.

Wild man on the loose.

2007-08-28T08:37:00.001-07:00

Before I know it he is just going to take off running and it's all down hill from there.

Standing room only!

2007-08-25T17:26:00.000-07:00

So we all know that Chandler HATES to go to sleep so last night we put him to bed and let him cry, and cry he did for like 45 minutes. Then he would cry, scream for a a bit then silence just when we thought finally he is asleep he would cry again. I went up stairs when I thought he was asleep to find this...Yes he is sleeping standing up. I guess you never know when you are going to need to get up and go...so he is a step ahead of crowd.

Gum chucks

2007-08-23T16:52:00.000-07:00

Chandler was having a big time swinging his pacifier holder around like it was nun chucks then chewing on it for a while then swinging it around laughing. Wild boy I think he gets that from his father.

B is for BEACH

2007-08-16T10:59:00.000-07:00

Today we didn't plan to but ended up at the beach with the girls for the first sand eating experience and boy did Chandler LOVE it...and so did Amber and Starr.

Hi Miss Sandra!

2007-07-29T10:41:00.000-07:00

Miss Sandra came to town to have surgery on her toe and we went to the pool so I could show off all my swimmimg skills.

Boys will be boys.

2007-07-10T09:05:00.000-07:00

So Yesterday we went to sign up for swimming lessons YEAH! and I got there about 6 minutes after sign up this is the line that had already formed. YIKES!

After waiting in that line for about an hour and a half we went to Barnes and Noble so the boys could play AKA destroy the play area.

Chandler was in awe of Josephs fancy moves.
Like this one. Hey where did they go????

I think they had a good time and after cleaning up we bought a couple new books and went our separate ways to feed our hungry little guys.

Little Nic's 3rd birthday.

2007-07-10T08:53:00.000-07:00

Saturday was Little Nic's Third birthday and on Sunday we had a pool party at Me maw's to celebrate. Everyone had a great time and the rain stayed away until the very end. OK something is wrong with this picture little spider man on a pink pony in the pool.

Me maw bought the ultimate spider man cake. The spider man spun around the top of the cake.

Nic had himself just a little cake. Thanks Me maw

Just hanging out.

2007-07-07T08:44:00.000-07:00

Chandler's cousins Starr and Amber bought him this super cute little robe and i thought he looked like a little man sitting on the couch watching so TV.

My new TV repair man

2007-07-07T08:30:00.000-07:00

Well Chandler has a million toys and boys to play with and what does he make a bee line for every time I turn my back...The ONE thing he is not suppose to play with the TV and DVD player. As with any child when caught he flees the scene of the crime. I guess i need to tell him there is not much money to be made in Television repair these days. LOL

T is for....

2007-07-03T06:09:00.000-07:00

TOOTH. That's right Chandler is finely after much drooling, chewing and crying getting his first tooth. I was very excited and called Trae to tell him and he apparently just thought I was Crazy. Oh well, my boy has his First tooth...well at least the start of it. I can't get a picture of it yet but, I will add a picture when you can actually see it.

And now for my next trick...

2007-07-02T09:02:00.000-07:00

So I guess this is the natural progression he played in the bouncer, he played out of the bouncer, he crawled over things and now he is crawling under things. He is very proud of himself.

And he wore himself out and is taking a nap Yippee!!!!!!

A night off!

2007-06-30T18:27:00.000-07:00

Last night Chandler stayed over at Mimi and Gumps house so we could have a night off. It was nice of course i still woke up twice and was up for good at 7:45 but that is much better than my normal 6:00 am or better yet 4:30 am. I think Chandler had a great time. Here are a couple of pictures Marie sent me.

Daddy you are FUNNY!!!

2007-06-28T19:38:00.000-07:00

Family Fun

2007-06-28T15:51:00.000-07:00

Last night we had Amber and Starr over for our Wednesday night/Thursday day ritual Of Ice cream and a movie and then we went to the pool for some competitive fun.

Peek-a-boo.
I don't know who loves who more...can you tell?? Just a little love tap.
BTW how cute are these girls?

You gotta love that boy!

Not ANOTHER picture.

I Said NO more pictures!

Little Monkey boy!

2007-06-26T12:15:00.000-07:00

I put Chandler in his crib so I could get some things done, not fooling myself by thinking he would take a nap I sat him up playing with some toys. I heard some grunting and shrieking so I peak in to see what he is doing and what do I see???

Chandler trying to pull himself up in the crib. So of course I ran to grab the camera and document the occasion.

Thank God I had just lowered the mattress or I would have been picking him up off the floor.

And just like that he's down!

Yet another exciting event in our lives.

A hunting we will go.

2007-06-25T09:08:00.001-07:00

So today Chandler was fascinated with the hunt for the cheerios game.

The cheerio got covered by the burp cloth and then Chandler excitedly went on the hunt.

It was especially interesting when the cheerio got stuck to the cloth or Chandler's sticking little hand.

Look Mom I found it...it was really ALL about the hunt he didn't eat them once they were found he set them free...it appears that the natural habitat for cheerios is the floor.

Make a break for it!

2007-06-19T12:37:00.000-07:00

Is anyone going to get me out of here?????

Well this is yet another sign that Chandler is and is going to continue to be a BIG hand full. I put him down for a "nap" and of course 10 minutes after I put him down he is awake and yelling for someone to let him out. I walked in and I see him trying to make a break for it. He actually was pulling himself up using the bumper...that is until one of the tie broke. I guess someone should make a baby bumper that is a bit more durable. God Trae and I have some serious work ahead of us.

Happy father's day daddy!

2007-06-15T18:21:00.000-07:00

Click to play Make your own Smilebox

I made daddy a card for Father's Day, it was fun and messy...two of my favorite things.

Chandler's close-up

2007-06-14T17:55:00.000-07:00

Chandler was fascinated by the camera lens and thought it was hilarious when I got close-up in his face. Do I see a film career in his future.

Lazy Sunday

2007-06-14T15:41:00.000-07:00

We had a fabulous Sunday afternoon at the pool. Chandler's favorite past time SPLASHING of course.

A great father son moment.

My first swinging experience!

2007-06-14T15:06:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday we went to the park in riverland terrace to meet Mr. Paul, Java the dog Christy, Bryn and the soon to arrive little Caden Paul. Chandler was decked out in his New york Yankees attire for a meeting of the minds.

Chandler had great time in the sandbox with Bryne she was very busy making PINK cake..."pretend" pink cake that is. the first pass of the swing and he was hooked it was a big hit. The park was great right on the water under these beautiful old oak trees. Thanks for letting us in on the secret park Mr. Paul.

Dinner with Me maw.

2007-06-08T09:55:00.000-07:00

Last night Chandler and I met Me maw at the boathouse restaurant for dinner. Chandler sat in a big boy high chair for the first time and like the well mannered guy he is he ate his cheerios and played with a spoon.

Me maw did give him his first taste of creme brulee as well...thanks mom he was up on sugar buzz until like 11:15 and them was up and down most of the night. I guess that is what grand parents do pump the grand kid full of sugar and send them on their way. Got to love it....NOT!

But she does LOVE him.

Splish splash videos

2007-06-07T11:27:00.000-07:00

First Pool Party

2007-06-07T10:56:00.000-07:00

Today was Chandler's first trip to the pool. He LOVED it we only stayed about 30 minutes but as you can see he had a splashing good time.

Little Drummer Boy!

2007-06-06T12:32:00.000-07:00

How can you spot a first time parent???? They are buying the "Fun" Loud toys.

Being Chandler is my first Child I have to by him all the "Fun" annoying toys Like a Learning drum. He loves it and I like to think he is actually learning while driving my crazy.

He tends to get a bit carried away!

I think He gets that from his DAD!

First family vacation

2007-06-06T10:58:00.000-07:00

So we took our first Family trip and what a trip it was. Day one from home to Fredericksburg VA was to good to be true, we made the trip in about 7 hours 45 minutes after a must see stop at "South of the border" and everyone was in a good mood.

We saw Giant chickens and took a picture with Pedro.

Chandler took a few good power naps!

Day two: Was a bit more trying to say the least a 10 hour trip was turned into a fourteen hour trip with about 3.5 of those being spent in New york more specifically trying to cross the George Washington bridge on Saturday of memorial day weekend...What were we thinking???????

We saw forest fires in Massachusetts.

We did make it to the big Village of Rumney NH...yes Village...Yes I said VILLAGE.

And finally Chandler met Great Grandma and his first telephone cord. He loved both.Day three: We went to Jennifer's house for lunch and Chandler met the rest of the family.

And took a nap in the New England air. Day Four: We took a nice ride around the Lake and had a Beautiful New Hampshire day. And went to dinner at Jennifer's
Day Five: We saw Uncle Bruce and took another drive through the mountains. Then walked up to the swimming hole.
Chandler got good Great grandma loving.

Chandler also found that he liked to play fort under the table.

Day Six:We are on the road again. We went back avoiding New York City so much smoother.

Day Seven: we are back home in South Carolina. Thank God!

The diaper dance.

2007-05-23T08:26:00.000-07:00

Chandler's new favorite thing is shaking and banging things around. I guess it's a man thing like the cave men...look at me.. me strong. So today I was about to change his diaper and put the diaper on his chest and turned to grab the wipes, He picked up the diaper and started banging it on the floor and laughing hysterical. His laugh is infectious I had tears rolling down my face laughing with him.

Hungry Hungry Hippo's

2007-05-14T08:49:00.000-07:00

How cute is that all the boys playing together.

Family fued comes to an end.

2007-05-14T08:41:00.000-07:00

Little Nic has finally decided he loves Chandler. In fact he know says "that's MY baby Chandler"

Chandler looks a bit confused about the whole thing.

Wild man caught on film!

2007-05-14T08:10:00.000-07:00

Chandler is now a wild man in his exersaucer. He bounces, chews all the toys and beats on it with his bee rattle. Boy we are in trouble if he is like this at 5 1/2 months.

Did I do that?
I'm Funny!!!!!

He is Trae's son so what did you expect .

Fancy feet.

2007-05-14T07:55:00.000-07:00

Chandler has been working on this trick for a while and he finally perfected it.

He's good at chewing fingers too.

Happy Mother's Day!

2007-05-14T07:50:00.000-07:00

My first mother's day. Wow it has been a long time in the making it was very nice. Trae got up with Chandler so I got to sleep in...by sleep in I slept until 8:35 it was great.

We went to see trae's mom's and then to mine.Chandler and Trae got me this beautiful slide bracelet.

It's great to have a mom who owns a jewelry store.

Chandler's body doubles.

2007-05-11T16:42:00.000-07:00

Paul gave me these round little twins years ago in honor of my twin nieces and I love them.But now they have taken on a new purpose they are Chandler's body doubles.
Uncanny is it not.

Washing the baby

2007-05-11T16:39:00.000-07:00

Truth be told this is the easiest way to wash the baby.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!!!

2007-05-08T09:13:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my daddy turned 31. WOW that's old.

So of course Mommy made us take pictures.

My crazy puppy Ginger had to get in on the action
Daddy got lots of nice presents. I had to help him open the big stuff.

We went to dinner with the Melton half of the family.

As always I was wiped out.

I say let's do it again next year.

5 month check-up

2007-05-02T10:10:00.000-07:00

This A.M. we went to see Dr. Rhodes who Chandler loves and his nurse Martha for our 5 month check-up. I swear Chandler remembered Martha and those shots from last time because when he saw her there was NO smile to be found. He did do much better with the shots this time around, I think that is because he has a bit more meat on his bones. Speaking of meat on his bones he is up to 16lbs. 4oz. and 27 inches tall, he's in the 50% for weight and 75% for height lets hope he keeps going in that direction. All in all the appointment went great and Dr. Rhodes gave Chandler an A++ and said he seems to be a very happy baby keep up the good work. So i guess that means Trae and I get an A++ too.

Afternoon stroll.

2007-04-29T18:41:00.000-07:00

We went downtown for what was going to be a quick trip to pick up my ring. We ended up walking about three miles and enjoying being tourists in our own town.

Chandler loved the fountain.

The flowers are in bloom and beautiful.

Play Ball!

2007-04-29T18:36:00.000-07:00

Chandler went to his first baseball game last Tuesday. And if you believe Trae he LOVES baseball...I think he was more interested in playing with his cousin Lexi.
And look Lexi is sharing.

Park and Play!

2007-04-21T13:14:00.000-07:00

We were watching little Nic today so we decided to make it an ALL day park event.

We left home at 10 am came home to refuel and change into cooler clothes and right back out we went.

Now it's 4:30 and ALL the boys are sleeping. What a day.

Do not pass go

2007-04-21T13:10:00.000-07:00

So I think this proves that Chandler is ready to pass the whole crawling thing and go straight to running. Yikes! Boy are we in trouble.

"P" is for Prunes

2007-04-19T12:52:00.000-07:00

So I have decided I love prunes I love eating them and wearing them.

On a roll again.

2007-04-19T12:32:00.000-07:00

This morning I put Chandler down with his best friend Mr. Worm so I could fold MORE laundry. When I turned around he had rolled over, so I flipped him over to his tummy again and watched. Because he has a way of not doing tricks while people are looking, I though he won't do it again but he did. I ran a grabbed the camera and our little model rolled over again to my amazement. Three times in a row usually he is a one hit wonder, but not today. on the move.

Dad, this one's for you.

Happy Birthday to you!

2007-04-19T12:03:00.000-07:00

Last night we went to my first of what is sure to be many trips to get Japanese food for a Melton Birthday celebration. It was Uncle Robert's Birthday and Cody's belated birthday we had a good time and almost got Uncle Robert to do the chicken dance.

They love me.

SEE I WAS THERE!

Aunt Christy LOVES having her picture taken.

Are we having fun yet!

Blow out your candle!

After all that I am pooped!

Back to basics

2007-04-15T16:38:00.000-07:00

So today was a nice quite day because we had a power outage well actually two of them. We used it to spend some good quality time reading and playing games...like peek-a-boo, blow spit bubbles, find Mr. Worm...it's not what you are thinking and pull mommies hair to name a but a few of Chandler's favorites. We got a small nap before the very LOUD sounds of dad's snoring became to much for mom. However the power came back on and Daddy is still sleepy 4 hours later...must be nice.

A walk in the park

2007-04-12T17:38:00.000-07:00

Today we went for a nice long walk with Auntie Holly at James Island county park. Chandler slept and played with his toys while Holly and I worked our muscles...mostly our mouth muscles blabbing the whole time. It was such a beautiful day we sat on the swing right by the marsh and enjoyed to view before the tornado force winds started to blow...really I thought i saw the wicked witch of the west fly by on her broom.

You talkin' to me.

Hey crazy lady!

2007-04-11T17:54:00.000-07:00

My crazy memaw I love her but what kind of game is she playing where I get poked in the eye.

That's right it's all fun and games until someone looses an eye.

Trouble in the making.

2007-04-11T17:44:00.000-07:00

These two could be trouble. It looks like little Nic is very unimpressed with the whole NEW cute baby boy thing. Definitely more interested in the jelly beans that the Easter Bunny brought him then taking pictures with his cousin.

Never met a food I didn't like

2007-04-11T14:55:00.000-07:00

WOW! Sweet potatoes are YUMMY! The only problem is that there are so many foods so little time.

Easter Day

2007-04-11T14:49:00.000-07:00

Boy I love this sweater my Great Memaw knitted for me it looks great and tastes ever better. Hey and look I even match my Easter basket. I swear my mom didn't plan it like that or so she says.

Honor roll.

2007-04-11T14:26:00.000-07:00

My cousins Amber and Starr made the A/B Honor roll again this semester and the whole family was in attendance to celebrate the occasion. Beauty and brains those girls have it all.

The egg dying experience

2007-04-11T14:19:00.000-07:00

I don't know who had more fun Trae or myself I am pretty sure Chandler could care less about the whole egg dying experience. But it was his first Easter and we didn't want him to miss out...ok we really didn't want to miss out.

A day at the pool.

2007-04-11T13:57:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday, April 3rd Chandler and his cousins Starr and Amber decided to go in Memaw's pool for the first time of the season, even though the water was freezing. Chandler and I just dipped our toes and that was enough. He is a real bathing beauty don't you think?

Go fly a kite.

2007-04-11T13:49:00.000-07:00

So Dad thought I needed to go fly a kite and after mom and dad got in an argument over how the kite works, Dad finally got it going. Boy did I have fun...Yes that was sarcastic.

My buddy and me.

You can tell that Chandler loves his daddy just by the way he looks at him. How sweet is that?

Easter is just around the corner.

2007-04-10T07:30:00.000-07:00

So whoever said it was easy being so cute I guess was wrong. I tried forever it seemed to just get a couple pictures of him in his super cute Easter outfit and he was having no part of it. I guess we all have days we just don't want our picture taken. However I still think he's adorable. He did spit up all over him self right after this picture and I took that as a sign that the photo shoot was OVER!

Off to college

2007-04-10T07:25:00.000-07:00

You have to admit this is a cute outfit no matter what dad thinks. Some say he looks like a banker, some say like he's ready for college and others think Charlie Brown. What do you think?

The Cajun Festival

2007-04-10T07:20:00.000-07:00

Sunday April 1st was Chandler's first Cajun Festival. I thought it would be cute to put a little crayfish in his pocket and it was... but what you didn't see was one second later he put that cute NASTY little craw daddy right in his mouth. Got to love the development of hand eye coordination.

Speaking of eye coordination if I didn't know better I would say these guys are checking out the ladies.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin on the River

2007-04-10T07:08:00.000-07:00

On the evening of February 28th we realized that Chandler had figured out how to roll over already. I'm telling you the boy is a genius.

Bath time is oh so fun

2007-04-10T06:54:00.000-07:00

Times they are a changin' just 3 1/2 short months ago Chandler could barely be seen in his baby bath...and now his baby bath can barely be seen at all.

I guess it is true what they say

"They grow up so fast"

Who me?

2007-04-10T06:45:00.000-07:00

Chandler is home two days and already posing like a pro...he has definitely mastered the Innocent look don't you think?

My first Christmas

2007-04-09T18:36:00.000-07:00

My first Christmas and many more to come. I can't wait until next year when I can really make a mess, see all the pretty lights and enjoy all the gifts...oh yeah and celebrate the birth of Jesus too.

The wait is over

2007-04-09T18:27:00.000-07:00

After a long month of bed rest or as I like to call it house arrest 19 1/2 hours of labor and 2 1/2 plus hours of pushing the little bundle of joy makes his debut. Coming in at 6lbs. 10oz. 20in. and extremely cute Chandler Kent Melton is finally here at 4:24pm Friday December 1, 2006.

The making of a model

2007-04-09T18:02:00.000-07:00

This is one of my first really good photos and one of the last times I will be caught sleeping during the day. as you all know I hate to miss anything so I don't sleep during the day. This picture was taken about one month before I arrived on the scene and as you can see my good looks are already well developed and I am perfecting the pouty face.
