Hi, everyone!

My school sent some great photos. Here we are working on sticker art. 

This is a kinesthetic activity- what was once known as crawling through a tunnel. 

This is a free play puzzle, i.e., a Folgers tin with a hole.

This is interactive parallel play- meaning that I am bigger than Jacob so I get to use the slide. Don't feel too bad for Jacob. A few kids crawled right over me at the playground this week. 

Ender has been getting lessons too. His spelling is impeccable. 

But mostly, he is up to his old tricks. I believe this pic is from Auntie Lis.

Mom and dad took me to the playground.    You need a stick to play those bells. Who thought that was a good idea!

We also fed the ducks- but I ate most of the bread!

I'm really drooly this week cause I have new teeth coming in. 

Love you all!

Hi, everyone!

Aunt Lis came to see us!!

She even came to daycare. I was so excited to see her at school! Mom took this creeper shot through the two way mirror. I am watching Miss Sarah here. 

After we left school, we went to the aquarium. 

Auntie Lis was able to spot tons of fish and whale sharks. 

Mom too!

I got to eat snacks in front of the tanks. So fun!

I also got up to zip around the tanks for a minute. 

This is a shot of Aunt Lis inside the aquarium tunnel. 

Mom kind of panicked and almost bought me two toys cause of a sale they had going on. 

Today we walked the beltline. 

Mom let me try fries. I don't like them. 

But I do like dipping things! This week my new word is "walrus," and I can answer questions about animal sounds and point to some body parts. 

Daddy is visiting cousin John in NYC. Can we say cross blogging potential!!

We went to the playground with Auntie Lis. 

She had to go home to LA today. We really miss her!

Love you all!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love you all very much! Guess what- my A-gong came to visit me. 

He's very strong. 

We have the same nose, can you tell?

We ate lots of yoghurt together. 

We practiced putting on shoes. A-gong is getting really good at that skill!

We had some good chats. My new words this week are "octopus," "jacket," and "teacher."

I can follow two step instructions now!

We went to feed the ducks. Mom says the ducks are really scary when you give them bread. 

Reading in my awesome chair. 

Dad calls this extreme handsome. 

Oh and here are some throwback pics. Look at mom's haircut!

Here's another throwback!

Finally, here are some pics from San Diego last week. This is Auntie Lis, Uncle Burt, and Uncle Matt's hotel slide. 

Look at these baby seals- or are these sea lions?

Goodnight everyone! I've been under the weather so I'm off to bed!

Hi, everybody!

Mom went to San Diego this week for work, so mom put Ender and me in charge of taking care of dad and getting him to work on time. 

Unfortunately, Ender isn't much help. 

So dad took Friday off of work, and I took him to the park to entertain him. I'm filling the truck with mulch here to give dad ideas he could take back to R&D at work. Very proud of dad- he just got his second promotion at work!

I'm taking this time to teach dad life skills like how to use a scale. 

Dads been a little sad that mom is away, so I've tried to entertain him with physical comedy. 

That only kept dad entertained for a little while. So, here I am modeling good coping mechanisms - when you feel sad, take a bath! Also, make sure to cover your bikini zone in pics. 

Lucky mom is hanging out with Uncle Matt, Aunt Lis and Uncle Burt. She is having a blast, and they taught her how to play a new game, Codebreaker. But she misses us terribly and will be home tonight. 

Love you all mucho!

Hello, everyone!

It's been a big week for catching up with old friends. 

I got to hang out with my friend Alice today. We've missed her!

We played bumper cars in the park. 

My buddy Jacob turned 1.  He brought cupcakes for the big kids (pictured here in my green bowl). Jacob had already finished his, so he snagged my banana bread. It made me sad, but it was ok since it was his birthday. 

Dad calls this "lord of the flies."

We were all goofing around in the park. 

This was my first uphill run. 

I had to stop for a snack. 

I've figured out how to stand on furniture. And my new favorite word this week is "ok."

I'm rounding out my palette- I am now a fan of almost all fruits, especially berries. 

Mom thought people might want to see what it looks like when I wake up in my sleep sack. 

Much love to you all!
