April news

grandpa got me a wagon and it's not even my birthday!
Dolly and i love going for wagon rides.
i make daddy take us round and round the block. he needs the excercise.

Evie and John came to see me. They are on my A-list because they brought me a puppy dog. They talk funny.
i hate these dinky little things...
i can get so much more in my mouth with these spoons!


meet Dolly. she's my best doll

check out these chompers. that's four of them!

ripping paper is one of my favorite past times.

march update

look at this - standing all on my own!

i'm getting in a lot of trouble these days. the key is to not get caught

you know how i like to put everything in my mouth? i found out that mom and dad will eat anything i try to give them too!

grandpa and i went to the wild animal park. i really liked the ducks.

at the park

Mommy and Daddy took me house-shopping last weekend. One of the things they'd look for is a park nearby. When we found a good one i got to give it a test-play.

Daddy's friend David made me this onesie. Everyone thinks it's cool.

This park was fun even though Daddy and I are in jail. Mommy let me try my first strawberry shake!

daddy is tickley-prickley

this is mom with a mouth full of In and Out Burger



Daddy took me on my first slide ride. It was scary but i liked it!

like uncle higgins

until i master the art of walking, i'll do what i can to get my things around.

lesson learned

i'm going to try my hardest to remember what happens when i try to crawl off the side of the bed. falling head first on my nose doesn't feel very nice. i guess i forgot the first time.

Parker is 1

Getting nice and clean for Parker's birthday party. I don't do this for just anyone, but he is the first friend i made when i first moved to the neighborhood. yeah, i hang with the older kids.

sharing a coke with daddy

not sharing my cup with Parker. actually, it was his cup, and i know it's his party, but i wanted it.

This photo is from Parker.
I hope this is how he recalls it at the end of the day.

I got to have my first piece of birthday cake. Parker's mom made it from scratch. it was carrot and it was delicious! thanks for the photo, Parker!

He got some pretty cool presents. i have to remember to ask for one of these on my birthday!

apple

an apple a day keeps the doctor away? give me ten!

mum's the word


I'm saying: "Mom, yell at that mother horse!" (in Chinese, of course)

chunkamonk

apparently, i gained like 4 pounds in the last 2 months. gotta get walking soon or i'll be one chunky monkey!
I'm actually getting around fairly well. I think i'm just going to skip the whole crawling thing and get to it.
i mean, why not? there are so many new things to see and stuff to grab at this level!!

year of the rat

grandma jane and grandpa peter gave me my first lucky money ever! Chinese new year is great!
no need for mom and dad to bring the toys to me, i can move around like a pro!

crawling, sitting up on my own and climbing things within a week! can you see how proud i am?

i can even stand up, one handed!

look closely, those are two solid teeth. makes eating my cheerios much easier

talking is a bit trickier. i have to twist my whole face up just to say mum mum. i'll get it soon enough. i think i've accomplished quite a bit these past few weeks!

upping the skills

can you tell i'm very excited about being able to climb things?

look closely - yup, that is tooth number 2!
(and yes, grandpa tom, that is the UCONN shirt)

this is my new favorite face to make. what do you think?

hanging out with daddy

mobile

of course i'm happy. i'm about to eat!!

if i could just figure out how to get over this rail...

daddy's not so sure he likes the fact that i can pull myself up on things.

since i've become so mobile, they want to cover the entire house in these alphabet pads.
