Sunday in the Park

My lazy parents finally got me out of the stuffy house. We went to the park near our house. The leaves were a crunchy delight, a delicassy my folks do not appreciate. I wanted to play inside of a trashcan. They said 'no' to that, too. I like to swing because the wind feels good in my face. We took our first family self-portrait. If I'm lucky, and if school ever ends, I will get to go back. Wish me luck.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I could get used to birthdays! There were a lot of people who wanted to hold and kiss me. It was a little scary, but at least I got wrapping paper to play with. I like cake.

Hats: Mom loves 'em: I hate 'em. Somebody save me!

Bizzy Buzzy Baby

Okay, what's the deal with Halloween? It's cold, I look like a dork, and I don't even get any candy! Mommy and Daddy have some 'splainin' to do!

p.s. Thank you Auntie Sea for the yellow socks - Who knew!

Pumpkin Patch

We visited a pumpkin patch today. I got to roll in the hay and play with pumpkins bigger than my head! Daddy held me while we petted a very big sheep. It felt soft. Mommy takes lots of pictures.
Pumpkins make good drums. We listened to a band called Hillbilly Noise. They rocked. I danced in my stroller and clapped my hands.

My first First Birthday Party

Grandma Kelly & Grandpa Richard made me my very first First Birthday party! I was fun. I played in the grass and with my Auntie Almaz. All the plates were orange and the napkins had Nemo on them. I saw my very first birthday cake. Mommy and Daddy helped me blow aout the candle. Then Mommy let me have some of the icing. It was yummy. I have a brand new toy, a zebra that I can ride! I have to have mommy and daddy help me 'cause I'm too little to ride it by myself. I had a good time. I like cake.

Heads and Tails...

This weekend Mommy and Daddy took me for a walk at Miramar Lake. Mommy dressed me for a snowstorm and I was very hot. It was pretty and I got to see lots of puppies out on their walks.

Singin', dancin', and playin' the kazoo...

Me and my evil twin plotting....

I'm learning to stand on my own two feet.
Sometimes I fall down.

It dosn't hurt too much.

Eggs are tasty good!

My Daddy taught me how to play the kazoo!

Doctor's Office and Hooters

Today was a looong day. I had to have a bath at 8am because Mom couldn't manage to change my diaper without getting poop all over me. Amateur. She was mean to me and made me take a nap when I didn't want to.

I visited Dr. Kabongo today. He is my doctor and has taken care of me since I was born. He is very nice. I got to play with the ear-looker-at-er while we waited. The nurse weighed me and said I was 17 lbs and 11 oz. Mommy says that I don't eat enough and should weigh more. I'll try to weigh more, I guess.


When Daddy came home, we went to Hooters for dinner with Auntie Katie and Uncle Jason. Daddy said I would like it because it would be a buffet for me. What's a buffet? It was loud and busy. Everybody was drinking and eating and not sharing with me. I did get to have a french fry and a cookie.

On the ride home Mommy and Daddy were arguing with Uncle Jason. It was a little bit scary. They were talking about Bob Dylan. I don't know about those things but Auntie Katie was nice and played with me while everyone was talking so loud. Uncle Jason thinks Bob Dylan is a sexy man. I don't know much, but that old guy on the Victoria's Secret commercials that Daddy is always watching seems a little creepy to me. Here's a link for Uncle Jason: http://www.slate.com/id/2098635/ (How's that for creepy! =)




p.s. Uncle Jason thinks Mommy is a freak for blogging for me. I think he's a weirdo. Don't mess with my mamma!

A-R-T is G-U-D

Mommy took me to have lunch at Balboa Park. We ate at Waters named for the reflecting pool that mirrors the California Towers. We shared a Chicken Salad and I had Green Tea for the first time. Mommy said, "I'm gonna culture you good today!" We cruised by several museums but opted for a roll in the grass rather than visit inside. I like leaves. Mommy won't let me eat them. Bummer.

Daddy called from Louisiana to say he was safe and that he loves me and Mommy. He sent us a picture of where he slept last night, on an oil platform! Mommy said, "Big Oil and war profiteers are buying your diapers son." I heard her say something about Shell and Haliburton to Daddy. I'm not sure what that means but it dosn't sound good to me.

Did I mention I like leaves?

My first Boo-Boo

My friend Harry from Day Care bit me. I was playing with a wooden block when he came up and tried to take it from me. Then hit bit down. It hurt. I cried. Then Ms. Cindy held me and I felt better.

Daddy is Louisiana and Mommy had class tonight. Ms. Katie picked me up and we hung out for two hours before Mommy came to get me. It was pretty cool to be out late with an older woman. I think she digs me.

My favorite TV show is Diego, Animal Adventurer. I watch it after breakfast, right before my nap. I like the songs and learning Spanish. Mommy sings the songs to me. Today, Diego rescued una rana de arbol. I'm learning to pull myself up to the TV and press the buttons. Mommy does not seem pleased.
