Hey gang! I'm Azja! Ah, but you already knew that. Well did you also know that I'm two weeks old now? Knew that, too? Sorry, didn't know I was blogging to the CNN newsroom. Do you know the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Didn't think so! Okay, I must admit - neither do I (neither African nor European), but I'm 2 weeks old, what's your excuse? Anyway, I thought maybe you'd want an update since my last victorious post after the OSU defeat of Georgia. That put OSU at #5 in the AP poll, BTW! Number 5! In comparison to this, OU is now number, um, hmm. I'm not sure, I only have the top ten in front of me, and I'm not seeing them. Wait - there's BYU in the top ten, so OU must be here somewhere....no, I'm still not seeing them. Oh well, the season's young.
So the guard has changed. We drove Grandma and Grandpa Vogt 
to the airport on Monday (Labor Day), and Grandma and Grandpa Dunham arrived at the house Thursday afternoon. Mom, Dad, and I had a little alone time in the middle of the week, so we tried to take it a little easy. You know, just kickin' it around the house. Eddy the Dog thought that would mean he'd get more attention, but poor guy is still kind of on the back-burner while Mom and Dad get the hang of taking care of me. Don't worry Eddy, things will change soon. I'm growing up quickly - I am already starting to hold my head up by myself from time to time!
Mom and Dad have been helping me
learn a little about the world. They have a nice little green easy chair for me to use when relaxing in the living room while they keep up with their vampire friends Bill and Eric, their Hollywood friends Ari, Eric, and Vince, and their Secret Service friends at the Warehouse. I also have a sweet doughnut thing called a Boppi that puts bean-bag chairs to shame. 
I can find some comfy sleep positions in that thing. They also try to give me time on my stomach each day to work out my neck and arm muscles. I
also have some toys that light up and play music so that I have something to occupy my mind while my eyes feast on my surroundings. And if that's not enough, Dad is still trying to read to me (or at least make up stories about wharf-cats and purple-haired princesses) on a regular basis. He used to read to me for his enjoyment and my betterment. Now he's starting to read 
to me to get me back to sleep in the middle of the night. I've gotten in the habit of sleeping during the day and staying awake more at night. I try to be quiet about it, just lying in bed looking around, and occassionally making my hooting noises. But every once in a while I get bored and cry out for Mom and Dad. I used to sleep for about 4 hours between feedings, but I've been getting hungrier lately and now want to eat about every two. Mom and Dad try to keep the room nice and tranquil for me all night, with soft lighting, candles, and music. 
But sometimes after I eat I just want to party. 
They talked about me being a vampire for Halloween, I 
thought I'd try to get in character. I'm a method actress : ) So from time to time, Mom has to take cat-naps during the day, as I make her pretty tired at night. Then when she wakes up, she is ready to make me look my best. Check out this sweet cherry outfit she found for me with the cherries on the rear. Are you looking at my bum? Bum-looker! Cheeky-monkey!
So let's talk about the excitement of today. First of all, a whole day
with Mom, Dad, and Grandma and Grandpa Dunham. Grandma Dunham is cooking some gameday specialties - ham and lentil soup and cornbread - one of Dad's favorites. 
Plus Dad and Grandpa have some Don Julio Tequila to enjoy that Dad said blows his mind. Then there's my bath and lotion massage. Mom got me nice and clean (which I hated at the time but rather enjoy after the fact) and then moisturized my skin with a lotion massage (which I actually really enjoyed at the time a
nd after the fact). Dad included some pictures of me in my warm and comfy robe/towel after my bath. I was in a pretty awesome mood, which is a great way to start the third exciting part of the day: OSU football! Once again, we got to watch the 
Cowboys in HiDef as they battle 
Houston today. If you notice in the 
picture of me with Grandma Dunham, I have my OSU orange on today - go Pokes! Oh - I just woke up and have been informed that Houston actually won the game. I don't know how this is possible, and I still think it might be a bad dream. I mean, look at my OSU orange! It is adorable! How could we lose? Well - at least I'm clean and get the spend the day with Mom, Dad, and Grandma and Grandpa Dunham. That's still awesome. Just too bad we can't celebrate tonight. I guess this is a good night to play the game Mom and Dad picked up recently - Sorry!
Well, that's all I have for you right now. I have to go console Dad. He is very sad about the game, and he is trying to console friends who are sad about Michigan State beating Notre Dame. I think I might be a sadder OSU fan than him, but I won't tell him that.
