A new trick

Watch this Dad! I start out chilling on my back.

A little twist and before you know it I'm half way over.

Oops. Didn't quite make it. Back to square one.

Let's try this again. Start with a little twist...

And before you know it...

Success!

A work-around

Mom doesn't like me watching TV. She says it's bad for babies because it makes their brains mushy or something. So whenever she puts me down she always faces me away from the TV.

Here I am sitting in my little seat, facing toward the couch as usual. Doesn't she know today is the final round of the U.S. Open and the first day of the College World Series?

But I'm finding ways to quickly check the scores without anybody knowing. Pretty smart, no?

Rockstar

Since I have 2 uncles that play guitar and one uncle that plays drums, I'm thinking about starting a band. I'd like to be the lead singer so I need to practice. Here are a couple of takes:

Catchin' up

Hey Mooks! There's another floor dweller around here. Her name is Daisy and I like to chase her around. I have to be careful though, because she's sneeky and gives me goober kisses!


Do you like music, Mooks? I do and like to dance! My Daddy thinks that I'm practicing for playing the bass drum!





scooby doo bop bop! Isn't it fun making all of these sounds? I totally understand what you're saying and I agree with what you scolded your parents about. My Mommy and Daddy have to be told the same thing...someone has to keep them in line!

It was really nice to see all of your Grandparents together. It's pretty special when that happens. Looks like you're having lots of fun!

Disciplining My Parents

Overall, my parents are doing a good job. But every once in a while, I need to discipline them. I'm not too hard on them and try to boost the morale with an occasional smile, but sometimes they just need to be taught a lesson.

Memorial Day

Well, I had a very exciting Memorial Day. I convinced my Michigan grandparents to make a trip down to Southern California so I could hang out with all four of my grandparents at the same time.

I got to see Baba again and we had some very interesting conversations.

Here are my grandmothers together. They're so beautiful!

Here's all the grandparents and my mom. I was napping when they took this picture. I can't believe they didn't wait for me!

While we were down there, my dad took us to a Dodgers game which is kind of weird since we're Giants fans, but we had a good time anyway.

I entertained myself by sticking my tongue out most of the night.

Now I'm home where I'm back to goofing off with my dad.

And taking nice naps with my mom.

Getting into Shape

Summer is coming soon so I'm trying my best to get into shape. I've been very busy doing my exercises every day.



I have to admit, the more I do them, the better I get.

I'm even starting to enjoy tummy time.

Michigan Grandparents

Dad's parents are here visiting. I've been so lucky to have so much quality time with all four of my grandparents lately.

Grandpa Tom keeps me busy with exercises.

Grandma Carolyn lets me snuggle and nap as much as I want. I get tired after all of those sit-ups!

More Awesome Videos

I just want you guys to see what I've been up to. Lots of smiling and hanging out. I've even found my feet. I love playing with them!

So Cal comes to SF

It was kind of tough with Mom going back to work last week, but there was definitely a bright side. My grandparents from So Cal came up to visit me. What a blast!
First, it was just Battah for a couple of days but then Baba came up to join the party.

Do you see the resemblance?

We went on all sorts of adventures together. Here I am showing Baba how to ride the Muni. He showed me his appreciation in the form of smooches.

I went on my first boat ride ever and I was so lucky to have my grandparents come along.

Look at me, I'm on a boat!

Then we walked around Sausalito and had some gelato.
I had such a nice time with those guys. I hope they come back again soon!

Happy Mother's Day!

I'd like to wish a happy Mother's Day to all the lovely ladies out there.




A special shout out to my own Mom and of course Battah and Grandma Carolyn. I love you guys!

In other news, I got this awesome new chair today- my first step toward independence!

Finally I don't have to depend on someone else to keep me sitting upright.

I have lots of great plans for this thing....

Mom

My Mom went back to work this week. I have this cool new babysitter, so at first I hardly noticed. But then when she got back home I feel asleep on her shoulder so deeply I drooled.

Dad told her to put me to bed but she wouldn't put me down. I guess she missed me. Ya know, I missed her too.

Another hat

I don't know what it is but I'm really in to hats lately.


Check out this one.


P.S. Happy Birthday Dad!

Crazy Arms Refined

I'm learning how to put these crazy arms to good use.



I'll be playing catch in no time.

Hey Dad...

Wanna go fishing?


Maybe a trip to the beach?
