Stills and Motion :)

I went swimming for my very first time yesterday.......I really liked it! Mom found me a long sleeve rash guard (great sun protection!) w/matching swim shorts...the things they make for kids these days!!! Mom also brought the underwater camera and took some video....Hope you enjoy!

Here I am in the first few moments....




Here I am a few moments later....it didn't take me that long to adjust ;)


Story time is one of my favorite times of the day....I even participate by turning the pages for mom and dad...



I make mom and dad read at least 5 books to me at story time, or re-read my favorite ones :)

Now for some stills:

Chillin' w/Odysseus


I prefer drinking out of cups


Got the position down....now how do I go forward???


Maybe if I start off in the runner's pose.....


Nope....I just end up in downward dog pose....I'll get this crawling thing eventually!

Odysseus waiting patiently for me to finish my teething cookie :)


Dad simulating a rocking boat....I don't get seasick :)


Just being cute :)


Happy St. Patty's Day!


For those of you who have had the privilege of hearing my wonderful new favorite sound....me screeching....this is one of the faces that accompanies it!


Here is another one :)


Grandpa Henry this is for you.....how do you like my upward dog pose?


And here is my attempt at downward dog :)


I made it all the way over here from my mat.....going backwards....but that is a direction


Then mom takes and puts me back on my mat :( well, at least she let me stand up this time :)

I enjoy listening to dad play his saxophone!


I love this pic!



There! We're updated!!!


Ciao!

Long Time No Update!!!

Hi All!!! Sorry it has taken me sooooo long to update my blog....my mom's computer is on the brink and she finally got to use my dad's. For a brief update of what has been going on in my world....I got to go to Catalina Island with my parents (mom was teaching SCUBA) and we had a blast! I now have two teeth that have poked through....and they're sharp! Oh and I'm just getting cuter every day :)

Valentine's Day snapshot


Slip sliding away


Nanna got me this pink lion that giggles and vibrates....that's just not normal


Ody is training me to play ball with him


He's a pretty good teacher.....very patient with me


But he gives up on me after a while


I'm starting to hold my bottles too!


And I still think Odysseus is the funniest thing going


Mom enticing me to crawl.....what's she thinking.....she's not ready for mobile baby!


I am a contortionist now too


The power of a sneeze

Too Cute!


I'm flying!


Getting even better at the manual dexterity!


Here I am on the Catalina Express....my 1st boat ride!


Here I am with dad getting off the ferry.....yup that's the dive box we're hauling.


Putting on my war paint (aka sunblock)


Watching mom and her students gear up for their dive....that's me under the hat in the stroller


Taking control of the sippy cup


C'mon dad put the camera away...I'm eating


Mom please ask him to put it away....he's getting as bad as you


You asked for it!


Holding myself up!

Now if only I could pull myself up here...


I'm adorable aren't I


Alright that's enough!


Ciao'

Sorry my mom couldn't get any pics of my teeth....I'm not cooperating in that department
