Holidays 2007 Part 4

I also met Tio Cito and Auntie Katie on this trip. I didn't get any pictures with Katie, but I did get some nice ones with Tio Cito. You can tell that I already adore himas do Sofia
and Sebastian
I also spent a lot of time with the Boysens. Isabelle and I spent a lot of time together, especially with her holding me. She is a good cousin
Here we are in our matching princess shirts (Thanks Abby Zaida)I also spent time with Oncle Gunnar.

It was a good first christmas season for me!

Holidays 2007 Part 3

The best part about the holidays was that I got to spend time with all my cousins..Sebastian & Isabelle Boysen and Sofia & Lucas Justo.

Nona had all her grandkids together. We tried documenting the event, but some of the cousins did not want to cooperate

Isabelle, just hold my hand, it will be ok
I lost Isabelle and now Sofia is crying. I don't know what to do
Nona, I tried the best I could to keep Isabelle and Sofia in the picture. Looks like I am the only cooperative granddaughter....am I your favorite?

I spent time with the Justo Lopez family for the first time. My cousins are so cute and so small. My mom started calling me Giant Baby because I was so big relative to them.

Here is cutie Sofia
and handsome Lucas
I also spent time with Uncle Albert. He had teh magic touch and put me to sleep


Tia Claudia spent a lot of time nursing so I wasn't able to take any photos with her, but here she is with Sofia
Sofia and I also dressed alike one day (thanks tia maria). You can really see my giant-ness here





I showed Lucas how to play on the play gym. He just needs to get off his belly. I tried showing him how to roll, but I don't think he is ready yet

Holidays 2007 Part 2

We went to the beach when in Miami. It was my first time to the beach because mom says that it is way too cold in California to go to the beach.

I spent most of the time at South Beach playing with Nona


I then spent some time with Mom, cousin Isabelle and Nona again

Lastly, I put my feet in the ocean for the first time. I was unimpressed but my parents were very excited

Holidays 2007 Part 1

Hi everyone

happy holidays!

I had a great holiday season. I met new family, made many friends and got tons of gifts.

Here I am surrounded by gifts given to me by Gran and Grandpa. My favorite was the green gift bag...not the gift inside, but the gift bag. It had ribbon and everything. It was fun. I still play with it.
I then flew to Miami. i got a gift on the flight over. Look at the cool gate-check tag for my stroller. I played with that all vacation
While in Miami, we did a very "winter-y" thing and went to the beach where I practiced standing on dad's chest
Mom, why am I wearing a garter belt on my head?

I will update with pictures of family and friends soon

I am 5 months old today

Hi mom. What's up?
You say I am 5 months old today? I don't want to get older either. I want to remain your baby. it is a pretty easy job...I am sad about getting older
Wait, don't worry I have an idea
I can eat the evidence. Let me grab it first:
Now I eat it
Darn it, it is not working. If I kick it off the couch, maybe I won't turn 5 months old:

ok, I couldn't kick it off the couch, so I got far away from the sign. all is good. I am still a baby.

Hey mom, I am not a vegetarian. I like moose drumstickI see you mom

Beginning of December 2007

Hi everyone
Mom has lost count of the weeks and now that she is back to work full time, she has less time to update the blog. But since the last update, lots has happened.

I went to the doctor for my 4-month appointment. All looks good. I had shots but my mom had the decency not to take photos.

We also went to Tio Renan's 60th birthday party in Livermore. I stayed up very late and refused to sleep. Who can sleep with a party going on? I might miss something.
Here I am with Tia Hannah (Daniela's mom)

and with Tia Vivi and Praveen:
The next day I went to Jen and Adrian's home for lunch. I had never met them before. But I really like them. That Adrian talks funny and for some reason it was always about Australia...did you know that Australia has a new Prime Minister? and he signed the Kyoto Protocol? And that the singer of Midnight Oil is in the Australian Senate. Adrian was very excited about all of this.
Here I am with Jen and Adrian

I also had a great time playing with my rattle while thereHey it the Mom-erazzi again
Mom, do you have to dress me like this? It is embarrassing
I also spent a week with Gran while Mom worked. Grandpa stuck around for a few days. Gran and I had such a good time that we didn't have time to take pictures. I'll be spending this week with her as well. Hopefully it will be documented in photographs....unless we get too busy.

That weekend, we then went up to Gran's and Grandpa's place. The Great Grandma, and the Great Aunts and Uncles came up as well.

Here I am with Great Aunt Lynn. We are opening my Christmas gift as I won't be with her for Christmas.
Here I am with Great Grandma. I really love her
And here is Great Aunt Sandy
After my bath:
This last week I spent it at the AGU Fall Meeting (American Geophysical Union) in San Francisco with my mom. I charmed everyone there. Mom took me to the poster sessions where there was lots to see. I almost didn't sleep at all, except for in this photo with Gannet (whom I met when I was 1 week old) and Shelley (who sent me my super-cool WB-57 onesie).
My mom also had to put me in the AGU daycare so that she could go to some talks. It was my first time in Day Care or being watched by someone who isn't family. I did really well. I behaved and didn't cry at all...same can't be said for my mother. I'll be starting Daycare full time next month so she better toughen up.

I will try to do one more update before the holidays. Until then
