It's time for Jazz' solo

2010-09-24T09:55:00.002-05:00

Here shown in the middle of some weird fusion thing that he's been experimenting with. He calls it "Screw Melody"....it's an interesting tune.

A Heisman Trophy.

2010-05-28T22:53:00.002-05:00

Not out of the question, but I'd prefer a Cy Young.

Two New Family Members

Jazz-man has begun his educational career. God help us all. May I present the incoming A.M. Trent Montessori class.

Vacation Babies

Hilton Head Island was hit by Hurricane Daniels in late August. Here, we see close-ups of the eyes of the storm and it was surprisingly calm.

For the Love of the Game

Butterbean is never quite as happy as when he's eating or playing with some kind of sporting equipment. So, it was inevitable that he would eventually combine his two great passions.

Two boys at about the same age.

Boo!

2008-11-05T16:05:00.001-05:00

A couple o' fine Jack-o-lanterns.

Our handsome young men

2008-09-24T09:48:00.002-05:00

Sorry for the posting delay. Pops has been hopping.

No Matter What Life Brings

2008-08-04T10:39:00.006-05:00

This makes it all beautiful.

Also, my favorite Jasper quote yet was spoken today: "Daddy I pooped and it's hot like my oatmeal. We have to blow on my butt."

The Boys Get Along Just Fine

2008-07-11T13:24:00.002-05:00

It's their parents that they have a problem with.

Jasper Blamed Me For What?

The Daniels Family

2008-06-28T23:39:00.002-05:00

Some feelings defy words.

Welcome To The World Mr. Daniels

2008-05-19T00:00:00.002-05:00

Gus Wylie Daniels: b. May 18, 2008. Weight: 8lbs. 7oz. Height: 21 3/4 in.

Mom and baby are well. We are truly blessed.

His Agent Wanted a New Headshot

2008-05-13T14:07:00.003-05:00

"If you know what's good for you, you won't make me take my pacifier out. Ya dig? Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go play trains with Jack Nicholson's daughter."

Opening Day

2008-04-02T12:11:00.003-05:00

The Reds lost after a rain delay, but as you can see here, Pops is the big winner!

The Ultimate Fighting Champion (A PPV Recap)

2008-02-25T16:35:00.002-05:00

he had to fight his way free from the famous "Flying-Jen Leg-Scissors" (up till then the sure kiss of death) but once he did, the Jazz man opened up a 50 gallon drum of Whoop-A@# and walked away with the title.

We're All Expecting

Happy Holidays

Wishing you a season that finds you as joyful as running around your house naked.

Jazz Was A Young American

Next Episode: tap dancing to Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love."

Octopus Now! Halloween Redux

2007-11-01T15:05:00.000-05:00

Armed only with an Elmo bucket, our hero went out amongst the "Mahsters." He bravely marched his way down the street and got himself a bunch of "Cha-kit." He did not have to squirt his ink even once. Happy Halloween!

First Haircut

2007-09-17T15:37:00.001-05:00

From happy-go-lucky cherub, to dignified elder statesman in a few snips...Pops will soon be giving "the talk." You know the one about styling products. I have charts and graphs. (Any one who knows me, probably does not doubt this)

The Boy of Summer

2007-09-17T15:04:00.000-05:00

How the West Was Won

By a naked cowboy who traded his gun in for a toothbrush.

Discipline In Action

2007-05-14T13:31:00.000-05:00

As any parent or person seated near a bratty child on an airplane can testify, children need discipline. As Jen and I are finding out, that is easier said (by anyone who is not the child's parent) than done. This image is a fairly standard reaction to the "NO" command. We cannot quite pinpoint the origins of these willful displays, but we are quite certain that it must be one of those "skipped a generation" things. Cute though, aint he?

Hiiiiiiiiiii!

2007-05-11T16:48:00.000-05:00

Sorry for the delay everyone. Pops has been busy. Here's our boy....just a complete charmer.

2007-03-21T15:47:00.000-05:00

Jazz and I went out for a walk today, and half way to the park, the police sped up and jumped out with their pistols drawn and pointed at us. After some shouting and confusion, it turned out that they were just looking for Nick Nolte, who happened to be in town shooting a movie.

Hey, it's spring training!

Walkin' Man

2007-02-02T13:02:00.000-05:00

He's like a combination of the Lollipop Guild, Charlie Chaplin, and Hulk Hogan....but pretty, of course.

Jasper's New (Old) House

2007-01-30T15:22:00.000-05:00

The little man will grow up here. His mommy and daddy are over the moon!

The Little Man claims to be a big John Denver fan. We hope that he grows out of it.

HAPPY X-MAS FROM JAZZ AND YOKO

The Baby in Black: Jazz Cash

2006-12-05T11:56:00.000-05:00

The DaJasper Code

2006-11-30T15:05:00.000-05:00

The "cool parent" is shown here giving genius lessons to the child prodigy. This particular book contained a series of numbers shrouded in coded mystery by a diabolical looking bunny. The bunny hints in the text that the secret of life could be revealed by cracking the set of numerals contained therein. Jazz shrugged off the challenge, citing a logical deduction that such a code is highly improbable coming from a cartoon bunny. The "cool parent" was proud of the correct and quite advanced conclusion.

Just Messin' Around

Jazz in Wonderland

2006-11-20T09:53:00.000-05:00

I'm late, I'm late- for a very important date. No time for clothes, no time to wait. I'm late, I'm late- for a very important date.

Happy Hallowe'en

2006-10-31T18:07:00.000-05:00

Trick or treat.... JabberJaws was the most collossal shark I ever saw- until now.....Happy Hallowe'en everyone!

2006-10-23T16:56:00.000-05:00

Jazz just bought stock in a paper towel company....

2006-09-19T09:29:00.000-05:00

Glamour Shots can kiss Pops' skinny white.....face.

2006-09-19T09:19:00.001-05:00

The little man is smitten with his mommy.

2006-09-11T10:28:00.000-05:00

After flying from the top ropes with his patented leg-drop, Jazz "The Destroyer" pinned his opponent quickly. He posed and flexed for the crowd while unleashing a torrent of expletives to taunt future opponents.

2006-09-07T09:07:00.000-05:00

Look Pops, I'm already faster than you.

(just getting a little camera-fancy, forgive me)

2006-09-01T12:24:00.000-05:00

Is my rally hat on right Pops? You think they'll take the Wild Card without me?

2006-08-14T14:05:00.000-05:00

Coming to theatres in 2036, ....Jazz Daniels is the new 007, James Bond in "Hugs and Deadly Kisses"

2006-08-12T15:35:00.000-05:00

"Could I get a little privacy please? Are there no secrets in this house?"

2006-08-12T15:25:00.000-05:00

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I beholdin' the most beautifulest boy around.....You think the ladies are gonna like him?

2006-08-12T14:15:00.000-05:00

At over 22 lbs. and around 29 in. at the six month mark, it's safe to say that the boy doesn't miss many meals. Jen and I have kicked around the idea of feeding him the clothes that he outgrows as soon as we buy them.

2006-08-07T12:25:00.000-05:00

In the first image, Jen and I earn the little man's trust with tickles, giggles, and funny noises. He is entertained and loved.

In the second image captured a few short minutes later, we violate that trust by making him look like some strange baby King Tut... Doesn't he look like he wants to kick a little a**.

2006-08-02T16:22:00.000-05:00

A giggle from Jazz makes life worth living.

2006-08-02T16:21:00.000-05:00

He rolls 'till he can't roll no more....instant video superstar!

2006-07-28T10:46:00.000-05:00

The following is an excerpt from an upcoming article in Baby Supermodel Magazine:

"The life of a world famous baby supermodel must be tough. Take Jazz Daniels for instance. He is constantly hounded for handprints and never has a waking moment to be by himself. The situation has caused him to lash out recently by demanding his own edible trailer, a constantly filled bowl of M&M's (with all of the green ones picked out for some odd reason) and that his two personal assistants are with him on-set at all times. But despite recent rumors on the baby modeling circuit, Jazz swears that his 'spit-up episodes' are in no way an effort to keep his weight down. He has also missed a couple of recent shoots because when he rolls over onto his stomach, he cannot move and throws a tantrum. Despite all of the recent scuttle-butt, Jazz remains one of the most widely sought models and highly respected by his peers."

2006-07-24T12:51:00.000-05:00

I'm getting a tooooooooooth!!!!!!

2006-07-21T13:44:00.000-05:00

There a whole lotta rolling goin on.... Jazz rolls over and over all day long... After one indiscriminate roll, he'll get mad that he cannot crawl yet and begins yelling at his toys for not coming to him and jumping into his mouth.

2006-07-21T09:39:00.000-05:00

Compare and Contrast: It's like some kind of reverse before and after Weight Watchers ad.

2006-07-17T11:22:00.000-05:00

A funny hat and two big smiles.

2006-07-17T11:17:00.000-05:00

"The Reds traded Kearns, Lopez, and Wagner for who!?!?"

2006-07-17T11:10:00.000-05:00

What? This is how Einstein started off.

2006-07-07T08:58:00.000-05:00

Simply the two finest human beings in the world, and pretty damn cute to boot.

2006-07-07T08:24:00.000-05:00

The Jazz version of Julius Ceasar's triumverate: "I ate, I played, I slept."

Note: The fourth part, "I pooped," was graciously omitted from this photo spread.

2006-07-07T08:15:00.000-05:00

Baby Road Rage:

"Pops is always walking too slow in the fast lane...mommy darts in and out of the room...gammy's on her cell phone....am I the only one who knows how to drive around here?....wait until I stop putting my middle finger in my mouth!"

2006-07-01T13:26:00.000-05:00

As told to me by Jazz this afternoon: "Ok, so let me get this straight Pops. I only work every five days by throwing a little white ball 85-95 mph with my left arm and get paid millions for it. Uh-huh....and you say that I don't have to work in the winter and the longest I would possibly have to work is 20 years. And girls...they would like me too? Upon reflection I would have to say yes, please strap my right arm down please. Train my left arm to be a bolt of lightning. I'd like this life of which you speak.....Goo-goo-ga-ga-and stuff"

2006-07-01T13:19:00.000-05:00

No way...I can't beat your hand....Is 4 of a kind any good?

2006-07-01T13:15:00.000-05:00

It's 5 a.m. Do you know where your parents are?

2006-06-30T14:06:00.000-05:00

I'm a star....would you like my handprint?

2006-06-30T13:17:00.000-05:00

Pictures should be coming fast and furious for a while...Pops is snap-happy. For those who wish to and are unfamiliar with the options, you can click to enlarge, or right click them to save to a jump drive or whatever and to take and print out for yourself. Pops is open to requests on poses, so feel free. Each downloaded image only costs $19.95 with checks made payable to The Daniels Family....just kidding- everything's free. For those of you who already know all of this stuff, why did you read this far?....Love Pops

2006-06-30T11:46:00.000-05:00

Ok, so I figured out how to post images, and away we go....
Jazz is getting bigger by the second, and as of Monday he was 19 lbs. 3oz.! He giggles, and flips over from stomach to back, and supports his weight when you stand him up (no balance just yet, but it's coming soon). I wish I was that talented....This picture was taken last night. Pretty soon he'll be rocking himself to sleep at night.

2006-06-29T10:56:00.000-05:00

Started the blog today for family and friends to watch Jasper Thomas Daniels grow up. I will periodically post comments and photos.

Looking forward to talking about my boy incessantly....Pops Daniels
