The Big Reveal....

Boy Oh Boy, ANOTHER BOY!

I am excited to announce I am getting a BROTHER this June.  (Mommy is due June 11, 2014).  There is no doubt about it from the pictures below we are adding another boy to this family.  Mommy is definitely outnumbered now and she needs to gear up for the extra craziness coming her way.  I can't wait to have a little brother to rough house with and did I tell you I love jumping off things and building forts?  Who better to do that with than a little brother!?   This is all the more reason to get our house built and move out to the suburbs.  We are going to love living outside and getting into all sorts of trouble together.

 

 

 I celebrated this evening's big news with a See's Sucker. YUM, YUM, YUM!!!

Oh and let me tell you -- stay away from the big guy in red. Jacob and I decided we are definitely NOT fans.

Holiday Festivities

I had a terrific Thanksgiving up in Sonoma.  Aunt Carol cooked a delicious feast and I especially liked her stuffing and turkey.  I loved walking around saying 'gobble, gobble, gobble' whenever the word turkey was said.  Noni, Papa and Zio also came and we all enjoyed the beautiful California weather.  Before dinner I had fun out 'riding' the tractor.

After our big Turkey day, I went with Mommy and Daddy to pick out our Christmas tree.  Mommy thought I would be excited by all the trees but what I was most excited about was the bouncy house they had for me!  I even had Daddy bouncing in there with me.

To keep up with the Christmas spirit we went to Round Hill's holiday event where Santa came.  I was less than excited to meet the big guy in red.

Ya, I don't think I want to sit next to you Mr. Santa.

While I was not excited to meet Santa, Jacob was terrified of the big man in red. 

After the meet and greet with Santa I was all smiles.  Have you ever seen tap dancing Christmas trees?!  If you haven't you don't know what you are missing!  At first I was mesmerized and happy to sit with Noni and Jacob but then I was ready to get in on all the action!

And to think the tap dancing trees were not the end of all the fun.  There was a magician with a real bunny and I was so excited to pet him.

I am so happy to be with my family!!

A blessed family.

I love my daddy!

I hope you are enjoying this Christmas season as much as me! Hope to see you soon!!!

Halloween and Fall Fun

I have been too busy living up all the terrific fall festivities to write a post these last couple of months but I was just thinking I wanted to share some of my fun adventures before the holiday season really begins.

In late September Noni, Papa, Nana, Poppy, Auntie, Jacob, Mommy, Daddy and I took a trip to Lemos Farm in Half Moon Bay.  This place was awesome; decked out with pumpkins, rides and even a haunted house.  I am not sure why everyone was surprised I came out of the haunted house saying and signing 'MORE'.  Daddy and Noni took me through at least 3x.

I loved picking up all the pumpkins. I am pretty strong.

Yes, this is me. A CRAZY monkey. Who would have thought this would also be my favorite animal!?

Who said haunted houses were scary?!

Mommy and Daddy were also able to celebrate their anniversary and left me with Noni and Papa after Lemos Farm.

After Lemos Farm I was ready for more Halloween fun.  Grandma, Daddy, Mommy and I headed to the Discovery Center for a Halloween festival. My buddy Lucy met us there too.  We wore our costumes and had lots of fun.

I even learned how to say 'Grrr' like a tiger!

The friendly Tiger and Lady Bug

On Halloween we trick-or-treated in Alamo. Cousin Brynn came to see her two tiger cousins.

While I was trick-or-treating mommy and daddy flew to Savannah to celebrate Manish & Lisa's wedding.  They told me it was a terrific celebration with two great big parties.

Mom thinks this is a great picture of me-- her wild child.

The most exciting news over these last two months is our house construction in Alamo is finally underway.  I am probably the most excited about the project. I start screaming with delight before we even turn on our street.  There are so many big trucks and tractors I can hardly contain my excitement.

Construction begins.

Old house is gone.

New foreman in town. 

Happy Jack

 'Big Truck, Whoa" -- my favorite new words

I am such a lucky little guy and have so much to be Thankful for.  I wish you a wonderful Turkey Day.  

Love, 'Action Jack'

Summer Time Fun

It is hard to believe summer has come and gone but boy do I love summer time  (even if it means cloudy days in SF)!!!  We have been busy these last couple of months. 

Afternoon park fun with mommy. Typical windy day.

 Mommy's friends came to visit and we explored the America's Cup Pavilion.

Daddy, I like this corn hole game.  Why bother watching the race when there is plenty of other fun stuff to do?!

I love spending  time with my daddy!

 Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito --  In July Grandma and mommy took me to check this place out and I sure loved it.  We now go once a week.  It is the perfect place for me as I can run wild and not get into much trouble!  Grandma keeps telling mommy that she should build me a play room like 'tot spot'.

A big object - I will go for it!

Tahoe Donner --  In early August we went up to Tahoe Donner.  I had an absolute blast at Aunt Lori and Uncle Mike's house.  I LOVED  the lake and we would splash around for hours.  

 Grandma and Aunt Janet were headed on a hiking trip but met us at the lake one afternoon.  I had fun throwing rocks and showing them how I splashed around.

Auntie Adriana and Cousin Jacob.  Good times at the lake.

Craw dad fishing was a hit

Park fun

Uncle Dom, Mommy and Auntie Adriana took us on a bike ride along the Truckee River.  This was not exactly the type of fun Jacob and I were looking for.  We prefer to run around, splash in the lake, play at the park -- basically anything but be cooped up in a trailer.  

I loved Tahoe so much and can't wait to go back next summer!

I have also been up to visit Grandma in Sonoma a few times this summer.  Daddy says I am becoming a country bumpkin as I love working in the garden and collecting the eggs.  I now know the routine and love feeding the chickens.  But most of all I love Gator rides.

Let's get some eggs

Today is September 5, 2013 and I am 15 months old.  I can hardly believe it.  In the last few months I am becoming more and more independent, talking more and more, running instead of walking and generally just am a happy little big dude.  Life is good!

Another kiss, really mom?!

Love

Now that it is September our summer in SF has arrived!

Mommy loves this photo she took of me today as she says this captures me in a nutshell (I am hamming it up while getting into mischief. Very typical)  Let the good times keep rolling!!
