Hanging Out with Grandpa John and Grandma Barb

Grandpa John had to leave this morning. We had a little QT before he left. It was great to have you here for a visit, Grandpa John!

Hanging out with Grandpa John


Hey, I got a smile outta him!


Grandma Barb reads Mother Goose to me. She is a good reader.

Lots to do

I had a great day today. We visited Elliott Bay Bookstore and had lunch with Carm and Todd. Shoot, no photos from lunch!

Breakfast, my favorite!


At Lighthouse, looking at the roaster with my dad. Always a highlight of my day.

Heading to lunch. Carm gave this white bear to my dad, and he gave it to me. I really like it!

At the Zoo

My mama, Grandma Barb, Grandpa John and I went to the zoo. It was a nice day for it! We saw lots of animals and had a good time together.

After awhile, I needed a nap

Things Grandma Barb teaches me

Now that I feel comfortable with Grandma Barb, she is teaching me many things.

Today she taught me Ride a Cock Horse
Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross
To see a fine lady upon a white horse.
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.


And she taught me High Five!

My dad took another photo of me with my scepter.

Hangin' with my Dad

I like hanging out with my dad! He likes carrying me this way. Grandma Barb likes it when he does that, so she had my mama take a picture.

New toys!

Grandma Barb and Grandpa John are here for a visit! We had a photographer come to our house and take pictures-we'll post those later.

Check out the new Exersaucer that mom and Grandma Barb got for me-it's really cool!


My favorite toy is still a paper cup from Lighthouse!

Easter Present from Diana

We got a present from Mama's friend, Diana. It was fun to open it up and play with the new toys. Thanks so much, Diana! I love it!

Cool! A present for me!



So far, it tastes good.


Cute bunnies!


I like the colors.


Mama says they make candy like these-I think these toys taste just fine!

With a wave of my scepter, I rule over my domain.

I command you to bring me applesauce!

On the phone with GranTom and GranGlo

My dad and I called GranTom and GranGlo. It was good to talk to them.

Hey GranGlo! Hey GranTom!

New PJ's

Sunday night is bath night around here. Even Turtle got a bath! After my bath, my mama put me in my new PJ's.

Saint Patrick's Day Parade!

Oh, okay, so that's what a parade is! I get it now!

My mom and dad took me to see Seattle's Saint Patrick's Day Parade. It was my first parade ever. My dad was afraid that the noise and crowds might scare me. Heck no! I loved it.

Here is one of the photo's that Carm took. My dad swiped it off her blog. Thanks Carm!


Apparently it rains at parades. A lot. It wasn't raining before the parade, and it stopped raining after. So somehow they make it rain just for the parade!

There were people carrying flags, playing instruments, waving, and giving out candy. There were funny people too. Dad said they were clowns. People were walking, riding in cars, and riding on motorcycles. There was even dogs in the parade - a lot of them!

My folks took pictures but they don't have them ready yet. Luckily, our friend Carmelita is ready with hers. To see her photos, visit her blog at Cozzie's Corner.

Just hanging out

I'm feeling a lot better-I think I'm back to normal. It was a nice day here in Seattle, so mama loaded me up in the baby rolling cart to take me and turtle on some errands.

I can sit up really well now!


I had sweet potatoes for lunch. As you can see, eating is a multi-sensory experience!


No more baby bucket means I ride in the cart facing forward. It's a whole new world. Mama says she misses looking down at me, though.


I took my hat off all by myself; well, Turtle helped.


I was really sleepy after a big day. Turtle also naps sometimes.

Me and My Mama at Lunch

I'm not feeling well today. It started yesterday. I woke up with a fever and I was all stuffy. My folks call that snorky. My mama took me to the doc (again!), but this time the doc said its a plain old cold. As much as I've been to the doctor, I've never had a cold before! Anyway, I'm okay, just a little under the weather.

I stayed home from daycare today, since I was still snorky, and my dad stayed home from work to watch me. We visited my mama at lunchtime at a restaurant near her work.

Sitting in GranGlo's Rocker

GranGlo gave me this fancy rocking chair at Christmastime. It was in my room for awhile, but then my dad thought it would fit better in the living room. Sure enough, I sit in it a lot more now. Course, it helps that I can sit up now.

Thanks for the rocker, GranGlo, I love it!

New Truck from Aunt Barb

On Saturday, when Aunt Barb and Uncle Bob visited, they brought me this shiny new truck! Boy! It's really cool, and I play with it all the time.

Thank you Aunt Barb and Uncle Bob!

Visit from Aunt Barb and Uncle Bob

We had a nice visit from Aunt Barb and Uncle Bob this afternoon. It was very good to see you!

Saturday stuff

Uncle David's friend Trine visited. I really like her. Good to meet you, Trine!

Bring on the breakfast!

Sitting up in my playpen

Breakfast, my favorite!

My dad took a picture of me before breakfast. I had oatmeal and applesauce, yum!

PEPS babies

We had a PEPS meeting Thursday night. It was really fun! The music lady came and led us in song.

My parents didn't take any pictures, but Harry's mom sent this one. Thank you!

Eight Month Birthday!

Hey everybody! Today is my eight month birthday! Like every birthday, my mama sits me down in Big Red Chair and takes my picture with Samuel. Enjoy!

le seau de bébé est fini

My old baby bucket is gone. Done. Outta here. My parents are wistful about it, since it's the one in which I came home from the hospital.

My new car seat is installed now. My folks say it's for big boys, but I feel kind of small in there.

Turtle and I take one last ride in the old baby bucket


New car seat, here I come!


Uh, excuse me, comin' through


My mama asks Hows that?
