Hi! So I'm sorry that I haven't been able to update recently....mom's computer is still on the brink :( Here are some of the pics over the past two weeks:

Standing Strong


I Love Eating!

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!!!

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

What's Been Going on in My World?....

A lot has happened in the past week. I'm teething ever so fiercely, and I was introduced to solid foods!

Learning to play the piano...

Trying to keep proper form....how am I doing Grandma Shari?

Playing with my musical instruments


Smiling away as always :)


Mom put on Happy Feet for us to watch too....it's a good movie!


Mom and me :)


Playing ball with Odyssius....I love him sooooo much!!!


I'm drinking out of cups now too, we'll have to get this on video for you...I don't even make that big of a mess


Wow dad...how did you get upside down?


And here it comes......Ready?.....I can't wait.....

Yeah for carrots!!!
(homemade & mixed with breast milk of course)


Thanks dad...but I think I've got the hang of this....


See... I told you!


What? I'm eating


That was good!!!!!

Watch me in action!


That's all!

Ciao!

My First Day at the Beach!

Last weekend my mom, dad and I went to Malibu so my mom could teach Rescue diving. Dad and I enjoyed the beautiful day at the beach while mom went diving. I love the Ocean!

Wow what is this stuff? Sand you say....


It didn't take me long to figure out how to bury myself....I really like this sand stuff :)

Posing for the parentals


Enough posing...back to this sand stuff


Playing takes a lot out of you, so I decided to relax in my travel tent and just listen to the sound of the ocean...


Which promptly put me to sleep


Mom please put me down so I can play in the sand! Besides, one of your buckles is jabbing me in the back!


Dad explaining the wonders of the Pacific


Seriously a great day!

Ciao for now!
