I've got Disco fever

Odysseus makes for a very soft chair

All Aboard!!!

Cheese!

Ody get back here! I only put it on you for a second

I love you Ody <3>

Does this image make anyone else think of Michaelangelo?

Best Friends <3

Mom put olives on my fingers....who knew food could be so much fun!

Congratulations Anita and Harrison on your marriage!!!!
I had soooooooo much fun at your wedding reception!

My first concert! Wow! A real live band!!!
I was the first one on the dance floor and would have been the last if I had had my way...stupid parents.

Dancin' w/dad
(oh, pay no attention to my boots, I know they don't match but my other shoes were malfunctioning)

I even got to be apart of the band!!!

I'm a party animal!

Abby and I gettin' our groove on :) (And yes I ran away from dad before he could put my other boot back on...hehehe)

Noel is making me laugh hysterically, I couldn't stand anymore :)

Dancing makes me so happy!

Relaxing in my PJ's the day after the wedding :)

Happy Halloween!!!!!!

Ok.....so I had a BLAST!!!! tonight!!!!! Mom made me a costume and I got to go for a walk down the street (at night even) holding my favorite beach pail and walk up to the neighbors' doors, they would then put things in my pail!!!!! How cool is that!!!!!

Like my pumpkin? I helped dad carve the small one :) I really enjoyed pulling out the seeds.....really slimey....eeeewwwww

I like looking at the candle inside it :)

Here's the costume!!! I am a Tec Diver :) Here I am SCUBA diving!
No mask for me....no way would I keep one on!

What's this fish called???

Ooops! My reg almost fell out!!! And the kelp forest beats the tropics anyday :)

Here's a close-up of the costume for you :)

Dad is helping me with my split-fins....they are hard to put on with all this equipment on!

Don't I just look adorable?!

Wow there are a lot of steps....but I can do it

I'm a kid on a mission

Are they gonna put something in my pail too?

This lady let me pick out my own thing from the bowl.

I decided to plop myself down on the porch of this neighbor's house and find out what everyone keps putting in my pail.....still can't figure out what it is...oh well

C'mon dad! Keep up!!!

Well...we're done diving for the day....time to drive the boat home!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Growing Up Fast!

Since my last post; I was ill, I learned to play the harmonica, I can sometimes alert mom as to when I'm about to go potty, I am recognizing the letters of the alphabet, and my vocabulary is growing and improving on a daily basis. Enjoy my pics!

Dad caters to me when I'm sick...he's such a good dad!

The overalls I'm wearing were my mom's when she was a baby

Mom made me this foam alphabet...it's fun!

I literally took my dad's hat off his head and put it on mine then ran to my slide and scurried up it, with dad close on my heels to retrieve his hat....which ultimately changed to protecting me from falling off my slide :)

I'm gonna have to be extra stubborn in my teen years for this one!!!

Mom calls this game "Alphabet Hopscotch"

Odysseus and I have become best friends <3
And you wouldn't believe how protective he is of me!

I am very into my studies....just like my dad!

I do my best experimenting during play...
I also get hurt the most during that time :(

So, my legs started to spread further apart from each other, I went with it...
found out I need to do more baby yoga!

I think I have officially entered the mimic stage.
Actually, I'm just trying to make dad feel bad for sitting in my reading chair :)

My harmonica playing is getting good...I'll have mom video me playing once I'm a little better.
And yes the shirt says "my daddy's an Arrogant Bastard" as in the beer.

Check out the back of it!
And look how long my hair is getting!

Yummy!!!! Post nasal drip!!!

CIAO!

Over 1 Months worth of pics/vids....Yikes!!!

Well...over the past month and a half alot has happened. We witnessed a natural disaster....The Station Fire, it came within 1/4 mi of our home. Nanna and Grandpa Brian came to visit (and got to be here for the fire) and I am getting into everything I can get my little hands on....someone has to keep mom and dad on their toes.

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of hearing me talk...

Pretty in Pink :)

Mommy and me

Wall of fun!

So glad they didn't actually buy this headband for me!
The things parents dress us kids up in...geez!

The turtle is as interested in me as I am in him....I think he wants me to feed him though

Family stroll on the Olive Walk of Caltech

We just met....can't you tell?

I love my Nanna

Happy me :) Dad's blowing bubbles in the air

Nanna, Grandpa and I on their last day here :(
I can't wait to see them at X-mas!

All smiles :)

But not always :(

My first tastes of spaghetti sauce...holy hella mmmmmmmm
Mom didn't get any after shots for fear of the mess the camera would encounter :)

I also learned how to take a sip and hold the juice in my mouth, then let it flow out slowly.
Exemplified here by my carrot juice!

Check out this cool slide I got!

It only took a few moments before I was climbing up it and mom had to put crash pads around it

Ah! Dad! I'm in my towel!!!

Normally I wouldn't post a picture like this....but (no punn intended) I thought it was too cute not to.

Mom gave me frozen blueberries for my teething....I ended up looking like someone beat me up...

What'd I tell ya?!

I can even eat like a somewhat civilized individual....
no really I've got the hang of this fork thing

I'm even trying to teach Odysseus to eat with utensils

Ciao!!!
Bella

My 1st Birthday!!!!

This was just a snack I had...mom got fancy :)

I had a FANTASTIC! day with my parents, grandpa Mike and grandma Shari :) I got to play in the garden, open boxes, rip paper, stick bows to my head.....we went to Kidspace Childrens Museum....and I ate my first cake....actually, I got to taste sugar for the first time....my mom is strict with my diet :)

Wow a box inside a box....Grandma and Grandpa you shouldn't have :)

I don't care what was inside the box...Grandpa and Dad can have it...

I just want this cool box!!

Ok, now that you're done with it, maybe I do want what was inside the box...

Yup! This thing is a keeper!!!

I'm getting the hang of this!

My teeth seem to get the job done much faster

Dad is showing me how to use one of my gifts...

Dad...you broke it!

Odysseus made himself comfortable and watched me open my gifts :)

I love playing in the little stream at Kidspace!

This is my favorite room at Kidspace...and I had the whole thing to myself!!! That has never happened before!

Yay for climbing!

This thing is way too cool!

Here it is!!!! Nothing too fancy, mom and grandma Shari made me a vanilla layer cake with chocolate pudding in the middle and cream cheese frosting :-P From scratch too!
