In My Daddy's Coat

Look at me in my daddy's jacket


Am I adorable or what?


Ok, now I'm done with it

A Fun Family Morning

This morning was so much fun! After I was awake from 10 pm till 1 am last night (yes, my mommy & daddy had lots of fun with that! NOT!) I actually slept till 6:45 am which is way later than usual. So here I am eating my organic, whole grain waffles (the only kind my mommy will let me eat!)





And of course exercise is very important so here I am taking a break from eating to exercise





And like all good things, the family morning came to and end and daddy had to get me dressed and ready to go to day care

Riding my Train

Daddy came home from work a little earlier than usual today. He was about to take me upstairs for my bath and we got sidetracked by my fun train. Here I am riding my train naked

I Make my Mama Proud!

My mommy is always proud of me, but today she was extra proud! For a while now she's been trying to show me how to take bites out of certain foods. She is getting lazy you see - she doesn't want to have to cut everything into tiny little pieces. But for the longest time I just wasn't ready to take bites out of things yet. But a couple of weeks ago I figured out that taking bites out of a stick of cheese is much more fun than eating cut-up little pieces. And the other day, my mommy was eating a plum and it seemed kind of interesting the way she was eating it and all, so I nagged and nagged her and she let me try it out. She thought I couldn't do it. Well, I love a challenge! So I did it. She didn't really get to finish her plum after my first bite of that yummy fruit; I finished it for her. The thing is that she wasn't able to get it on video. But she got me on video today eating my yummy rice cracker, so here you go

Nothing Important

I have been teething for quite some time now (or for forever according to my mommy!). My first molars are finally showing a bit, and there are some white dots in my gums about where the top cuspids are supposed to be coming in. So this is what I do when I'm teething to feel better video



And here I am just having a chat with my mommy telling her all about my day in day-care

Vaccines & Conversations with Mommy

Ok, so today was not a great day, but we did have some good moments as you can tell by the following pictures










So in the morning mommy & daddy took me to the doctor to make sure I'm not sick before giving me the MMR & Prevnar vaccines. Well, I do have a cold, but apparently I wasn't sick enough to avoid the shots (bummer!) So mommy went into hiding when it was time for the actual shots. She is such a chicken! And daddy held me for my shots and I cried but not too much.

I was kind of whiny all day long though because I have this nasty cough and congestion and I have just been feeling kind of poopy all day. But after my nap and before I got tired and cranky again, mommy & me managed to have some good conversations

Daddy came home in time to give me my bath. I like it when daddy gives me my bath. He lets me play for longer because he forgets that we are on a schedule. And then I didn't want to eat my daisa and then daddy had to go to a work dinner. So mommy helped me fall asleep tonight. Mommy is hoping I will sleep well because her and daddy are very tired.

See you again soon...

Look at all that Love

Look how much I love my daddy... giving daddy nose licks

The Last Day of the Visit

Today was the last day of the family visit. All good things must come to an end... who on earth came up with that one?

In the morning, my mommy went to an Israeli get-together at the JCC and met some wonderful people.

She came home shortly after I got up from my nap and everyone was already here and Colin and I were deep into playing



Here I am rolling my big, new ball and if I could actually speak well, I would be saying mine! mine! mine!.





Aunt Debbi, uncle Kevin, and my cousin Colin had to leave shortly after I started eating my dinner. Grandpa Phil stayed on for a bit longer. Now, you would think that since grandpa was there, he would help me out and get me out of having to be cleaned after dinner. But no! my mama always insists on that one...enough with that already!





And then grandpa also had to leave so I said bye-bye and went to take my bath.

All in all, this was the best weekend EVER! I hope they come back to visit soon.

The Haircut, The Fun...

Ah, today was a magnificent day. It didn't start out that way, but it sure ended as one! This morning, after I ate my breakfast, my daddy took me to get my 2nd professional haircut. Mommy has been nagging him to take me for quite some time now, but with him being gone most of February, there just wasn't any time. So off we went.

Here I am pre-haircut (look at all that hair)






During the haircut I was a brave little boy. I didn't care much for the lady with the scissors getting so close to my face and ears and all, but I didn't cry either. I didn't want all those other kids there thinking I was a baby! So I took it all like a big kid. And here is the end result (am I handsome or what?)




And then, when I woke up from my afternoon nap, my uncle Kevin and my cousin Colin were already downstairs waiting for me



Come on in and watch all the fun we had:
Here we are eating dinner "together" after which I was rudely taken away for my bath.



And here is the chase part 1 and the chase part 2.



And here I am trying to figure out how to climb my new slide that grandma Phyllis sent me




And look at Colin and my silly uncle Kevin and see what a great climber my cousin Colin is and just see how cute we are together





And then I went to sleep and then they left, but not without promising to return the next day for some more fun!

My Cousin Colin & Me

Today was the beginning of a wonderful and busy weekend. My grandpa Phil, my aunt Debbi & uncle Kevin and my cousin Colin came to visit early this afternoon on on their way to Williambsurg, VA for their annual Colonial Dance. Colin and I got to have lots of fun together.

Here we are, not really knowing what to make of each other who is this kid anyway?

I'm sure we'll do better during tomorrow's visit
