Skiing Videos

2008-05-04T21:21:00.001-07:00

I can ski now! We went to Donner Ski Ranch in April, and I skied all over the place - all by myself.

Check out these videos of my skiing!
Here's my jumping:

And here I am skiing fast:

And then I did some more tree skiing:

Halloween Fun

2007-11-01T21:41:00.000-07:00

This year I was Curious George for halloween. I love Curious George and watch him on t.v. every day.
N was a ladybug and I was a bumble bee, but N wouldn't wear her hat.
I got lots of candy from all the houses. Mama doesn't let me eat very much though.
I went with all of my friends...
Check out N&I blog for their pics :)
Oh, and check out our Mr. Pumpkin Heads! N was the princess, I was the pirate and I was the clown.

Construction Working Lucas

2007-10-20T21:31:00.000-07:00

An older (August) video of me doing construction work.

Long time no see

2007-09-14T08:52:00.000-07:00

So...here are a few recent pictures...Mom's been very busy starting a photography business (check out ). I have been super busy with my CARS the movie collection of cars...Grandma sent me a TON! I LOVE them, and so does Isaac...we have to work really hard at sharing them.
I am back in preschool too, so that keeps me busy! I go on tuesday and thursday mornings...its always a lot of fun. Norah and Isaac love it too, they want to stay, but its only for big boys.
I'm also really into riding my bike...I can't wait to take those training wheels off!
Well...gotta run we are going to the park now!

Here's my train

2007-07-05T06:03:00.000-07:00

I love playing with my trains. Here's my latest creation:

Playing trombone

2007-07-02T14:30:00.000-07:00

Daddy is showing me how to play his trombone!

Going down the big jumpy slide

2007-07-02T14:29:00.000-07:00

My new bike

2007-06-21T20:18:00.000-07:00

Here I am, with my new bike!

I have a big boy bike just like my mommy and daddy.

I'm jumping in

2007-06-17T08:19:00.000-07:00

Watch me junp into the pool at my friend's house.

Party Time

2007-02-24T07:58:00.000-08:00

Just a few more pics of my birthday bash.

Off to Preschool

2007-02-22T07:14:00.000-08:00

Here I am with my turtle backpack on my way out the door to Preschool! Thats right I'm going to school. We have lots of fun with playdough and songs and my favorite...snack time!

I'm THREE!!

2007-02-21T18:22:00.000-08:00

I had a great birthday party at Kidspot Imagination Center. ALL my friends came, and we had so much fun playing! The cake was actually cupcakes, and the blue frosting made EVERYTHING very blue! There were TONS of balloons, and LOTS of PRESENTS!!!

2007-01-16T07:13:00.000-08:00

Tomten came to Farmor's house and brought me presents! It was really neat! I even saw him walking outside behind the house going to other houses!

Farmor and I made a gingerbread house (Pepparkakehus) The best part was the chocolate candies I'm putting on in this picture. They were yummy.

I had a great time playing with Auntie Becky, Nana and Papa too. We often went to breakfast and then to the Thomas store, and a park inside the mall. They even had a TRAIN RIDE! I can't wait to go back!

2007-01-16T06:59:00.000-08:00

Even though I was tired after a long flight, I still had a great time at the Swedish Christmas Party. Here I'm dressed up as a star boy for the Santa Lucia parade. I liked the "candle". I also really liked the museum. It had a boat and a house.

Merry Christmas!

2006-12-15T13:04:00.000-08:00

Mom took these the other day...like my hat? I am super excited, I get to fly on an airplane on sunday and have new toys to play with on the plane. I told mom I want to fly on the plane NOW, but she said the plane is not ready yet...bummer.
See you next year! I'll have lots to post after my trip to Chicago!

Patch Pics

2006-10-27T21:34:00.000-07:00

Here's Mom's favorite pics of me with the pumpkins...Mom's getting pretty good at working her new camera, eh! But she's gonna drive me crazy with that thing in my face all the time!!

Oluf's pumpkin patch

2006-10-27T21:31:00.000-07:00

Here's my WHOLE family...Isaac makes a pretty cool frog! And Norah is a pretty flower!

Sneak preview

2006-10-27T21:25:00.000-07:00

Here I am in my Halloween costume...I'm JAMES the red engine, one of Thomas's friends.

"I Honey, Mom"

2006-10-11T22:37:00.000-07:00

Mom always laughs when I tell her I want to eat...I just don't get it, doesn't she know I'm a growing boy and I need to eat? What's so funny about me being "Honey" ?

I guess I should catch up a bit, things are good here. My sister and brother are growing...check them out at their blog (). I help mom out alot. We bake cookies and take care of the babies.
I can also count to 11 now. Mom says I used to just say "one, two, six, seven" but now I've slowed down so she hears all the numbers.
We'll, better run, mom needs a burp cloth.

Swing!

2006-10-11T22:28:00.000-07:00

I like to swing now! When Granpa visited he put a swing in the back yard for me, and now I'm a "big boy" and I swing "higher, higher, higher!"

Mommy's Fault

2006-08-07T16:22:00.000-07:00

Mommy has been a real computer hog recently...always "surfing the web" and ordering stuff like strollers...so she hasn't given me time to post on my blog! I told her we needed to chat about sharing...so I took my turn and caught up a bit...so be sure to look back I post dated things so they would reflect when they happened and not be all on the same day!...well gotta run Mommy says its her turn now...

Sonoma County Fair

2006-08-07T15:48:00.000-07:00

Yesterday afternoon we went to the fair with Farbror Niclas and Farbror Marcus. It was GREAT. I even got to ride on the "fast train" (mom keeps calling it a rollercoaster??) but it sure looks like train tracks to me!

Then I fed the goats in the petting zoo, watched a puppet show, and bet (with daddy's help) on a horse race!!

Aunt Char's wedding

2006-07-23T15:09:00.000-07:00

This is me all duded up for Aunt Char's wedding. I was the ring bearer! (that means I carried a special pillow). It was fun. There was a pond with fish and frogs too! I really liked my special suit, shoes and coat...just like daddy and the other boys.

Pat your head & rub your stomache

2006-07-09T19:40:00.000-07:00

Here's a video where Daddy is showing me how to pat my head and rub my stomache, at the same time:

Happy 4th!

2006-07-05T15:05:00.000-07:00

Here I am hanging out with the kiddos. Aren't they cute? I love to "eat" their little hands. They think its funny too.

Pizza anyone?

2006-05-30T13:50:00.000-07:00

Mommy and I had a great time making pizza, she let me pick all the toppings so it was perfect! Yummy! Maybe I'll be a chef someday!

Big Helper to EYE-ZAK and Rah Rah

2006-05-15T15:30:00.000-07:00

Here I am feeding Eye-Zak (Isaac), he is so hungry all the time that Mama needed me to help out. I also fold and get burp cloths, give him his binky, rock him in his bouncy seat and "shh" him until he calms down. Eye-Zak is a lot of work...Rah Rah (Norah) doesn't complain much, so I don't have to help with her as much, I do like to make her smile though!

Splash!

2006-05-15T15:19:00.000-07:00

Yeah! The pool is open! Contrary to what you might think from this picture, I actually dunked Daddy WAY MORE than he got me! We had so much fun. Daddy even taught me to blow bubbles in the water!

Twinmobile with Toddler lookout

2006-04-27T15:47:00.000-07:00

Check out my new ride. I LOVE sitting upfront lookout...gotta make sure those babies are safe you know!

PS. Since Farmor took this pic its smaller, just click on it to get a close up view.

The ropes

2006-04-27T15:03:00.000-07:00

I had to get in there and show Norah the ropes...how to play with these toys. She was just lying there LOOKING at them...so I showed her how to make them sing songs and move around. I'm not sure she gets it yet...I'll have to show Isaac next.

Geen Eggs (and ham?)

2006-04-17T19:01:00.000-07:00

Mom: What color do you want to dye this egg?
Lucas: geen! (no I didn't forget the "r" thats how I say it)
Mom: Ok, now we made a green, what color do you want to do now?
Lucas: geen!
Mom: how about pink?
Lucas: No, geen!
Mom: how about purple?
Lucas: No, geen!
Mom: How about blue?
Lucas: No, geen!
Mom: ok, here's green...
Lucas: Blue!

I did eventually let mom make some other colors (she can get sort of whiny when she doesn't get her way!)I made them by spinning them in dye in that cool spinner thing, but they didn't dry very well, and were "dirty" the next day (sticky). Besides, the plastic ones are way cooler (they have M&M's in them!)

Harvard Law Here I come

2006-04-17T18:46:00.000-07:00

Do you like my Easter Jacket? Mommy says I look like a little professor. I really liked it and wore it all day! Easter was so much fun. I decorated a bunny cookie in Sunday school, and we had an egg hunt after church. Boy is that crazy...all these kids running around. It was hard to keep up...and just when I'd find an egg (what I was suppose to do, I thought) then dad whould say put it in the basket and rush me on to find another egg. He never even gave me a chance to find out what was in the FIRST egg...geesh. Turned out there were M&M's in the eggs...I KNEW I should have stopped and opened the eggs right then and there!

Gotta love easter!

2006-04-11T18:31:00.000-07:00

Farmor hid eggs for me in the front pots! They had yummy yogurt covered raisins and m&m's in them! YUM! I am really good at finding them too. I just can't figure out how to get the m&m's out of the hard plain white eggs...hmmm

2006-04-11T18:16:00.000-07:00

Here I am at the lake by our house, we took the dog for a swim on one of the only non-rainey days we've had all month! That song is NOT following the rules! I said come again some OTHER day not EVERY day.

ATTN: Check this out!

2006-04-10T21:49:00.000-07:00

Guess what! Norah and Isaac have started their own blog! I'm excited for them, and told them I'd give them a plug over here on my blog to let my fan club know about it.

Its: www.norahandisaac.blogspot.com

But don't forget to check in on me too...my blog is MUCH more exciting...trust me, I live with them and all they do is eat and sleep...BO..RING! snooze.

Farmor and I dancing

2006-04-01T20:01:00.000-08:00

I really like to dance. Here's a video of Farmor and me dancing.

Farfar and I singing a song -video

2006-03-31T20:31:00.000-08:00

Giving my sister a kiss

2006-03-14T11:12:00.000-08:00

Here's a picture of me giving Norah a kiss. I love my new brother and sister.

My new brother and sister

2006-03-14T10:59:00.000-08:00

I have a new brother and sister!

Here a picture of them

Isaac is on the left and Norah is on the right.

Birthday fun

2006-02-05T11:19:00.000-08:00

Sorry I don't post often. But here's an update! I turned 2 years old! I had a really cool party. Farmor came to visit and it we had lots of Thomas the train stuff, conductor hats and train whistles. Almost all of my friends came and we had lots of fun playing and eating cake. I also opened a TON of cool presents. Mommy had to lay on the couch the whole time though...she's taking it very easy so the babies don't come early. Poor Mama. Just a few more weeks and I'll have a brother and a sister!

Farmor and Farfar visit

2006-01-02T11:27:00.000-08:00

Here I am reading with Farfar...it was fun to have them visit.

Little Linus

2005-12-27T20:33:00.000-08:00

Here is a picture of me with my two most favorite things! My "water" (milk)cup and my blanket. This is my very favorite blanket that I sleep with every night, sometimes I carry it around the house too, but Mommy says it has to stay in the house so it doesn't get dirty or lost.

New Bike!

2005-12-26T20:41:00.000-08:00

Uncle Niclas and Uncle Marcus gave me this great tricycle for Christmas, I didn't get to try it out until today because it rained Christmas morning, and Mommy slipped and fell in the afternoon and had to get checked by the doctor to make sure the babies were ok (and they are just fine!)
So today we took it out, and I got to lead the way to the park. It sure is hard to steer and keep your feet on the pedals at the same time!

"LUCAS" choo choo

2005-12-25T20:29:00.000-08:00

Mayes gave me this really cool choo choo for Christmas, I LOVE it, it is really long and works on the tracks I already had. It gets annoying though when Mommy and Daddy try to take over and play with it, by putting all the cars in the order THEY want...something about it saying "LUCAS" but I think my order is better.

Christmas lights

2005-12-23T20:15:00.000-08:00

Mayes and his Mommy and Daddy came with us in our car to go see the best lit houses in Santa Rosa...This one was awesome! We really enjoyed all the lights and moving displays.

Christmas Traditions

2005-12-22T21:37:00.000-08:00

This is one of Daddy's favorite Christmas traditions, lighting the angel candles. Its sooo neat...Daddy explained that the heat from the candles make the angels swing around and tinkle the bells!

Riding the choo choo

2005-12-22T21:26:00.000-08:00

I really liked the choo choo train at the photo studio!

Helping decorate the Christmas tree

2005-12-05T21:15:00.000-08:00

Can't you tell I'm helping? Who else was there to be cute? Its an important job, and somebody has to do it! I really like the Christmas tree, the lights are so pretty and I have the coolest choochoo ornament with MY name on it!

Catching up

2005-11-27T20:47:00.000-08:00

Ok I've been bad, but its been really hard work taking care of Mommy, she's doing fine, but needs lots of help. Here I am ice skating for the first time! We did this when we went to grandma's house to visit them for Thanksgiving! BTW I post date things so Mommy can remember when things happened instead of just when I got around to blogging.

My new friend Kevin

2005-11-23T21:04:00.000-08:00

Kevin came to visit me just before we went to Grandma's for Thanksgiving...he was lots of fun!

Real Cowboys don't wear hats!

2005-11-01T18:18:00.000-08:00

I was a cowboy for Halloween. We had lots of fun at the Harvest Party at church where I won lots of games and prizes! I didn't like putting on this gettup very much, but once it was on it wasn't so bad...the things a cowpoke has to do in a days work!

pumpkin patch

2005-10-26T19:31:00.000-07:00

I know its been a while but I've been very busy taking care of Mommy, she's been feeling sick with the new babies. She has been feeling better now though and she and Daddy took me to this cool pumpkin patch. While this isn't the one I picked out, it was the biggest one I could pick up myself!

"it's a good thing I'm cute"

2005-10-12T19:43:00.000-07:00

Mommy says this to me when I do something bad, I'm not sure what she means...but I think she's right :)

Brothers or Sisters or both, oh my!

2005-08-29T20:29:00.000-07:00

That's right! Mommy has 2 babies! Here are the first portraits.

These pictures were taken a week and a half ago and show 2 baby sacs.

Then today, Mommy and Daddy went and had more pictures taken.

They even have names! The one on the top is "Baby B" and the one on the bottom is "Baby A"! Mommy is in her 10th week which means these babies are 7 weeks old.

Back from Sweden

2005-08-20T13:40:00.000-07:00

We're back from Sweden, and boy is that a long flight! At least I slept a good bit on the plane.

In Örebro, I met my great-grandfather (my Dad's Dad's Dad).

Here's a picture of all of us:

Leaving on a jet plane...

2005-08-03T19:58:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow, we leave for Sweden. I'm visiting my great-grandfather (gammal farfar) and my dad's aunts, uncles, & cousins.

This will be a great chance to practice my Swedish!

Nice t-shirt

2005-07-31T10:34:00.000-07:00

I still don't know what the surprise was all about. I'm wearing a t-shirt Daddy got on his birthday. It's neat!

Daddy's Birthday Party

2005-07-29T10:45:00.000-07:00

Daddy's Birthday was today. Mommy had a big surprise for daddy.

I can't figure out what the surprise was all about...

Yeah Balloons!!

2005-07-19T16:01:00.000-07:00

You get an extra freebie picture since I'm trying out a new way to put pictures on here...Here I am congratulating a balloon on sucessful lift off (personally, I wasn't sure they were going to make it!)

Wheee!

2005-07-19T15:42:00.000-07:00

I am quite the trendsetter at playgroup...I "invented" going down tummyside down and now its all the rage!

Hot Air Balloons

2005-07-16T15:23:00.000-07:00

What a difference a year makes! That was me at last yeat's balloon classic...what was I thinking, sleeping through it all??? Well, at least this year I wised up! Sorry its been so long since a post mom and dad have been really keeping me busy!

chipped!

2005-07-06T15:36:00.000-07:00

Take a close look at this picture and you'll see that I'm sporting a new grin...with a chipped top right front tooth! Boy did I give Mommy a scare when I tripped in the bathroom and the toilet bit me! I cut the inside of my top lip too, but a yummy popsicle made it feel much better..no stitches luckily!

Handsome Boy!

2005-06-04T19:48:00.000-07:00

Here I am sporting my new stylish hairdo, Mommy said she was glad it was still so curly! I'm not sure what all the fuss is about!

My first haircut!

2005-06-04T19:42:00.000-07:00

Mom decided I was looking a bit shaggy so when dad said he was going to get his haircut, I got to go too! I'm not sure what they were doing up there, but I had a yummy lollipop and a red hotwheels car so it was ok by me!

Sarek, Where are you?

2005-06-03T19:39:00.000-07:00

I think Sarek went this way...

Look out Mozart

2005-05-18T21:12:00.000-07:00

As you can see from this picture mommy has me following a rigorous piano practicing routine...every day I play and play until my little fingers are tired to the bone! Soon she said we have to start writing down the music I create.

Rain Rain Go Away

2005-05-18T20:51:00.000-07:00

Today was a very rainy day, we had to stay inside most of the day but mom did finally let me out to play. I put on my new rain boots and off I went! Its so much fun to splash in the water! I got very wet as it was hard to walk in those stiff boots and I fell right into the water!

Da! (translation: duck)

2005-05-03T20:00:00.000-07:00

Da! Da! That is what I'm saying as I point out the Ducks to you in this picture. Not to be confused with Da! (translated: ball). It's all in the inflection (kind of like Chinese). Mommy and I went to a really neat park for playgroup called the Superpark. I can tell why they call it super...its HUGE and it has DUCKS we could feed. I liked to eat the bread too...I don't see why the Ducks get to eat it all. I liked all the baby ducks too! I was so tired after climbing up and down and all around at this park, and sleepy after eating all the bread crumbs!

Beach front property

2005-05-02T19:48:00.000-07:00

I think mommy and daddy made a great investment decision when they decided to upgrade to beachfront property. I'm loving it! It's great for entertaining. Mommy and I throw the best impromtu beach parties, all my friends love it!

Da! (translated: ball)

2005-05-02T19:38:00.000-07:00

I love Sarek's toys. They really grab his attention and he'll follow me around everywhere! Right now I use 2 words consistently. Da (ball) and Ts (kitty). I don't understand why it took mommy and daddy so long to understand me!

Riding My Trike!

2005-04-17T19:53:00.000-07:00

I know, I know, I'm cheating on the date...but I wanted the date to reflect when the picture was taken not when I put the entry up, daddy got a new computer and he didn't have it all set up for me for a while. Anyway, I had a super trip to Chicago! It was so fun to play with Uncle Kelly's hotwheels and ride the tricycle with Auntie Becky! She likes to go FAST!

Easter

2005-03-27T20:55:00.000-08:00

I had a lot of fun celebrating Easter this year. Grandma sent me a cool hot rod easter basket with lots of yummy goodies inside...Mom had been keeping the good stuff like raisins away from me! We also did an easter egg hunt at the park, but it was so crowded I didn't even get one egg!! But we had another egg hunt over at Stephen's house and I found lots of eggs there...all filled with yummy goodies like animal crackers and cheerios!

Nap time

2005-03-23T16:50:00.000-08:00

We went to the San Francisco Zoo with Aunt Francine while she was here, all the playing with the goats and ducks really tuckered me out! I was looking down at a duck one minute and the next thing I knew I had been sleeping for an hour!

Aunt Francine Visits!

2005-03-23T15:49:00.000-08:00

I had so fun with my Aunt Francine. She taught me all sorts of cool things, like how to give a high five, how to make indian noises with my mouth and the sign word for eat! She liked to play with me and made riding in the car a lot of fun! I wish she could stay here with us!

Eating my Cheerios

2005-03-18T16:45:00.000-08:00

I like Cheerios. So when Mom turned her back for a few moments, I just went and helped myself.

Look Ma, No Hands!

2005-03-17T19:57:00.000-08:00

I'm walking! I can make it abou 10 steps now...but I'm improving more and more each day. Before Mommy knows it I'll be running all over the house! I can't wait to be able to go where I want to go not just where Mommy or Daddy will take me!

I'm sick!

2005-02-27T17:03:00.000-08:00

Some days are like this, I have a 101 degree fever and its dark and rainy outside. Mommy and Daddy are doing what they can to make me feel better.

Like getting me to drink my fluids...

Portrait

2005-02-25T17:14:00.000-08:00

Mommy took me to get this portrait taken today.

Favorite outfits

2005-02-21T17:45:00.000-08:00

This is just one of my favorite outfits to wear, I get lots of compliments...Grandpa likes to tease that I sat on a bug...silly grandpa!

It's My Party!

2005-02-06T21:29:00.000-08:00

I had a bunch of my friends over to celebrate my first birthday. It was a lot of fun, we all played with all my toys, and then Mommy made these yummy cupcakes for me to eat. All the babies liked them too! I liked all the doggy stuff, pawprints on the cupcakes, doggy music and balloons too! I can't wait to go to Grandma's house and party some more!!

A Sign of Higher Intelligence

2005-01-26T19:56:00.000-08:00

Mom says I'm already showing signs of higher intelligence! I must be a child prodidgy! She said just ask Auntie Becky and she'll tell me all about how sticking your tongue out when you are concentrating is directly correlated with an IQ thats off the chart! I do it quite a bit so I must be a genius!

Reaching new heights

2005-01-25T20:56:00.000-08:00

I've broadened my skills of locomotion. I can now climb all the way up the stairs. Mommy keeps trying to make me crawl down the stairs, but I know a faster way... :)

Now we have a big metal gate at the bottom of the stairs. But, mommy still let's me climb sometimes with her help.

Horse Riding

2005-01-15T20:51:00.000-08:00

I got this fancy picture taken at the studio for my 11th month birthday.

Giddy-up!

Curls Curls Curls

The Front

The back

My hair has recently had a growth spurt...and Mom won't leave my curls alone! She keeps playing with them, and taking pictures, and pointing them out to EVERYONE. Its frankly getting a little old...people will think I'm a girl the way she's fussing with my hair!

Grandma & Grandpa visit

2004-12-11T21:17:00.000-08:00

Grandma really spoiled me, and her other "grandchildren", Kajsa, Kalle, and Sarek (the cats and dog). It sure was hard to get lap time, but it was worth the wait.

Thanksgiving snow

2004-11-25T20:54:00.000-08:00

I saw my first snow in Chicago on Thanskgiving day. Daddy took me out in the freezing cold, sat me on his lap and we zoomed down a steep hill on a little piece of plastic. CRAZY! I was really worried daddy was going to hurt himself! We survived to eat a big dinner with Farmor and Farfar and I also got to visit my Great Nana and Great Papa, they really enjoyed my mealtime shows. It was fun to see so many people and play with all sorts of new toys I don't have at home!

Favorite Passtimes

2004-11-19T11:50:00.000-08:00

I'm 9 months old now! On Tuesday I got my shots...they went pretty well. I am now 26lbs 15oz (mom says 27lbs since its sooo close). And I'm 31.5 inches long. I'm still very big for my age, but my weight is only 97th percentile, while my height is still 99th percentile. I've been working out. I like to walk everywhere with mommy and daddy, and now I can pull myself up on stuff. Mommy thinks I am allergic to eggs and milk now...so that is limiting what she'll let me eat...boy do those hives itch!
No chocolate milkshakes for me just yet! Tomorrow I fly to Chicago for Thanksgiving. I'll get to see lots of family I haven't seen in a long time and show them all my new tricks...I can't wait!

Halloween

2004-11-07T21:16:00.000-08:00

Grandpa picked out my stunt driver costume for Halloween. We went to a fun carnival at church, where I got to ride down a big slide and jump in a jump-house!

But the only stunts I got to pull were in my jeep.

Cruisin'

2004-10-29T16:42:00.000-07:00

Now that I've figured out what my legs are for you're not going to see me sitting around! I want to walk walk walk!!! Mommy and Daddy say their backs are tired so they got me a jeep to walk in! Its ok, but I prefer the good old fashioned way of walking around...all by myself. Mommy and Daddy keep insisting that I hold their hand as I walk around, I've had to resort to biting to get them to let go...they really need to read a book about separation anxiety or something. They really throw me off balance when they let go, so for now I guess I'll let them hold my hand until they work things out and are ready to let go.

The future "eyes & ears" of America

2004-10-08T09:15:00.000-07:00

Grandpa sent me this cool t-shirt...So I'm now starting my 30 year life plan based on clothing, First I'll go to Virginia tech for undergrad, then georgetown for my masters, and then I'll work for the agency. They say you have to start thinking about your future when you're young! Mom wants to know if they have a t-shirt that says I'm a millionaire and I buy her lots of cool stuff like an SUV, a big house, an island in the carribean...Nah, she said that if these shirts really do predict the future then she really wants me to just have a shirt that says " I love my Mommy".

Georgetown here I come

2004-09-22T15:39:00.000-07:00

I'm finally big enough to wear the cool Georgetown t-shirt Uncle Niclas bought me...I hope mommy and daddy are saving their pennies!

P.S. See all my teeth? And I sit up really well now.

sitting up by myself!

2004-09-14T13:52:00.000-07:00

Here I am sitting like a big boy. It takes more muscles than you'd think to stay upright! And all those toys lure me to lean over...just not too far or oops over I go!

Rollover Rampage

2004-09-08T13:39:00.000-07:00

Today I mastered the art of rolling over, by demonstrating the back-to-front sequence. I showed it off for Daddy while Mommy was at work!

From here on out, everything is downhill. For next week, I'll be learning to drive a car.

Labor Day: Swimming with daddy

2004-09-06T13:37:00.000-07:00

Here I am swimming with Daddy. I love to splash.

Checking up on things

2004-08-26T12:27:00.000-07:00

Today was my 6 month check up. I'm as healthy as a horse, and nearly as big as one! I am 25lb 7 oz and 30 inches long. I am still in the 100th percentile for my age! I also had to get my next set of vaccines, the nurse I have is very quick, so it wasn't too bad. Plus mommy gave me some tylenol before we went. Can't wait to keep growing and impress them more next time!

Mommy goes back to work

2004-08-25T17:32:00.000-07:00

This week mommy left me starving for hours. Daddy tried to help, but all he has to offer is that icky bottle, I can only stomach it when I'm super hungry and half asleep, so that I don't notice that it's not the real thing. I didn't eat for 10 hours on Saturday! On Sunday mommy was only gone for 5 hours so it wasn't as bad. But then on Tuesday I gave in and ate 8 ounces...I hope this isn't going to happen too often!

A toothy grin

2004-08-19T17:04:00.000-07:00

Here you can see my big top teeth, and one of my bottom teeth. I have all four though. I like to chew on everything! Just thought you'd like to see them!

Farmor and Farfar visit

2004-08-19T16:57:00.000-07:00

I've had a great time this week, soaking up all the attention I can get from Farmor and Farfar. We went to the applefair, and wine tasting, and swimming. I was even good for them when they babysat me for a few hours! This is a picture of us swimming. I had a lot of fun splashing my hands and kicking my feet in the water. It was fun to have them visit, they would play with me, and sing funny songs to me! I hope they come again soon!

My friend Kalle

2004-08-12T16:01:00.000-07:00

Kalle keeps close watch over me. He likes to sleep with me in my bed, its okay with me except when he hogs the blankets!

Chomp! Chomp!

2004-08-11T13:58:00.000-07:00

I'm ready for some steak! I now have 4 teeth. My right top tooth came in today so now I have 2 top and 2 bottom. I like to use them, but mommy yells OUCH! when I practice chewing when eating....
