Last big spill of 2007

Scene & result

Happy Birthday to Daddy!

My gift to daddy ... no meltdowns on the plane!

Merry Christmas

Just got back from Ohio where I had a great time w/ Grandma & Grandpa O and Aunt Renee. It was definitely fun playing with them and being silly. I even got to feel some small snowflakes. You need to check the pics since they tell a better story

I also got to play with all of the Gerhlich and Monte kids; I was pretty busy playing, but I think mommy talked with the other mommies for 4 straight hours while dada watched football then played cards.

Christmas 2007

Gifts!

Look at Adriana and me - we're exchanging gifts. We both gave each other crocs - how nutty is that?

Photos of Zeke at my house

Entering a new phase, and full of a lot more chatter. Even playing w/ Mr. Potato head.

Aunt Ellen babysat me for 24 hours this weekend. We had a lot of fun - be sure to check the pics for some of the silliness.

Here's a family photo from the cruise, and yes, I am wearing my velvet sportcoat.
After the photo, it took 2 minutes for my cousins and me to begin making a mess, spilling water, dropping food - i.e. all the stuff that makes dinner fun.


Me and mommy have been ill for several days - not fun.

Parrot time

I'm fighting a cold - boo - but here's the weekly update.

Parrot phase, in full force - I am repeating many, many words.

Three unique activities worth mentioning:
1) Penelope invited us over for a playdate. She's very cool.
2) Adriana took me to the Exploratorium. It's free on the first Wednesday of the month; I'm lucky she knows about all this stuff.
3) Adriana took me to the sports class. We'll get some photos next time.

Earlier, I confused daddy - he was rocking me while I watched a BabyBoost episode on animals. I looked at his hand and said "Mano"; it took a few seconds for him to realize I said "hand" in espanol and wanted to hold hands. Maybe Adriana should give both of us Spanish lessons!

My chair is back (in pics) and I am thrilled. In my exuberance, I stood on it ... once ... only once. My bruised noggin has served as a reminder that chairs are for sitting. Now, I love sitting and watching Plaza Sesamo (Sesame Street in Spanish) and Yo Gabba Gabba, which is my favorite show. Here's one of my favorite clips - hear it two times and it will stick in your head for days (just ask daddy.)



In the pics, there's a couple good shots -
1) a trifecta of good habits - sitting my new chair, watching the North Carolina game, and talking my bookie.
2) dancing to the aforementioned Yo Gabba Gabba clip.

Sports school!

Friday, Daddy took me ot a tumbling class where i was jumped on the trampoline, played with a parachute, and sat on a seasaw. Awesome! I am pumped that I'll be going to a class each Saturday in 2008.

Not much else to report re: the weekened - watched some football, went to a playgroup at Leo's, and had my first public temper tantrum (at the mall)
