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!!!
