First Easter

I had a terrific first Easter.  Noni and Papa took me to the Round Hill Easter carnival.  There was a great deal of activities for little tykes like me; an Easter Egg hunt, a petting zoo, pony ride, games and even the Easter Bunny himself showed up.

Mommy kept saying I looked so handsome.  I think she is my biggest fan.

Noni and Papa loved showing us off to all their friends at the club.

Mom, why the heck are you making me stand next to this large, furry creature.  You have got to be kidding me if you think I am going to take my eyes off him and smile for your picture.

Papa, I don't think I like this pony ride.

Now this is more my scene. Little animals running around and I am able to stand and shake the cage. Good times.

Zio came too!

I was excited to wake up to find an Easter basket.  Then Uncle Gee brought me one with even BIGGER eggs.  I love big objects and held on tight to all my eggs.  Later in the morning I went to church with my GodFather, Uncle Gee.  Mommy was impressed by my behavior.  I am not sure why she was concerned, I loved all the singing and even danced along!

Thanks Noni, Papa, Nana, Poppy, Aunt Nadine & Uncle Gee for all my Easter goodies!

We had Easter dinner at cousin Stephanie & Jon's house.  I got to hang out with the newest member of the family, Brynn. She is sweet but not into crawling around with me.. YET!

I still have an egg in hand!

Hope you all had a fun Easter too!!

seven, eight, NINE months old!!!

Where has the time gone?! How can I possibly be NINE months old already?!  I am learning more and growing each day.  I went to visit Dr. Dana for my 9 month check-up and here are my stats: 95th percentile in height (30.75") & 75th percentile for both weight (22lb 5oz) and head (46cm) Big BOY!!!

SEVEN MONTHS OLD!!!

I got my first haircut. It was about time, I mean my hair was in my eyes!

Mommy loves taking pictures of me.  Sometimes I decide to cooperate!

I just keep getting cuter (at least that is what my folks say!!)

I am pretty lucky to have a January like this one pictured below.  Only in San Francisco!!!  I sure love being outside.

If you know me, then you know Mr. Monkey is part of our family.

Uncle Dom, Cousin Jacob, Daddy & I

Noni and Papa were excited to take us on the MerriGoRound.

I also love playing with Jackson.  Although sometimes I wonder, "Can we really be just 10 days apart?!"

EIGHT Months Old --
The biggest news this month is that I learned to crawl! Well, it is not quite the traditional crawl, more of the free-style worm.  To be perfectly honest I would much rather STAND UP.  But I love my new skills.  I also love eating! Dr. Dana says I can eat everything but honey and I am so excited about this!

I am a comedian! I just love to eat.

It was awesome to see the 49ers in the Super Bowl-- too bad they did't win. Next year?

One, Two, Three say cheese!!! -- Mommy, are you nuts?! You can't get us all to smile.

I love playing with my girlfriends.  Lucy and I have lots of play dates at the park.

I had fun swinging next to Abby.  She is a cute little lady.

I was excited to meet my new buddy Vinny but I do not think he was quite ready for all my energy!

NINE MONTHS OLD!!! 

My nine month birthday happened to fall in the month of March.  Daddy tells me this is mommy's month of celebration.  Daddy threw mommy a great birthday party up in Sonoma and then we went down to Palm Springs for a few days.  Daddy had to work a bit so Noni came too.  I had so much fun playing in the pool.  I have no fear. Watch out!!!

I love my Noni. We had a lot of fun watching the ducks!

Fun times in Palm Springs.

Family. We are blessed.

This face! I know just how to melt my mommy's heart.  

2012 Holiday Fun

December sure was a busy month for me and I just loved all the holiday festivities.  Season started off with my mom hosting a cookie exchange for her girlfriends.  I even had a few friends join the party!

My buddy Jackson and I.

Jen and Charlotte - Mommy and me - Auntie Lauren and Jackson

My girlfriend Lucy and I.  We all had so much fun playing together.  Can you believe we were all 6 months old in December?!  Only 13 days between the 4 of us babes.


You might be wondering what else happens at 6 months.  Well at 6 months 10 days I popped my two bottom teeth.  What a rough road those couple weeks were-- I was back to being up all night and overall just had a rough time with them.  But now look at me! Happy dude.  Now all I want for Christmas are my two front teeth (and maybe a haircut?!)

What else happens at 6 months old?! Well, according to Papa, it is never to early to learn how to golf!

All tired out.  Love my monkey hat, specially made just for me from Cora.

I had such a terrific Christmas with all my family.  

Zio, you are so funny!!

I got to spend my very first Christmas morning with my cousin Jacob.

Thanks Noni for making my stocking!

Hanging with Uncle Mike

Merry Christmas
