Shaughan and Eirann got to spend the night. That was super duper fun. Mark and Claire came too... I always enjoy my snuggles with Uncle Mark. It must be something about his great hair?
One of our families favorite places in Lambsterdam. Just north of the Golden Gate bridge you can find this big, beautiful house with an amazing view of Mt. Tam. Mommy and Daddy enjoy hanging out in the back yard with Rob and KO. The real treat though is that Mommy and Daddy let me hang out with Bo and James and play big boy games. How fun is that!
Its been a very busy seventh month of life. Mommy and Daddy had me on the go. We had a fun BBQ at Lambsterdam, an amazing trip to LA and we had a sleepover with the Dowds for Claire's birthday (she told me not to reveal her age, but she looks close to 25 if you ask me). Check out the pics in the next few blog posts, but for now I'll give you a sneak peak at one of bath time favorite pics that Daddy snunk in. Pretty cute, eh?
After the holidays I decided that it was time for me to move out of bed with Mommy and Daddy and into my own bed, in my own room. I was a little scared at first - I mean, it was the first time in my life that I was going to sleep on my own and in my own room. I'm sure you can understand why I would be so scared. But then I tried it, and I'll admit, the first few nights were not great. By the forth night or so I realized that it was so much more comfortable and just relaxed into it. Mommy and Daddy are just in the other room so I really didn't have to be scared after all. I know that Mommy misses sleeping with me, and I miss sleeping with her too, so we'll just have to spend extra time cuddling during the day. BTW, do you like my bed? I think it's pretty darn cool.
Mommy and I decided that it was time that I expand my diet of pure breast milk and start tasting some other food. I started with carrots, which were okay. A few days later I ate some pear, which was delicious, and then apple which was yummy too. Now I'm back on the veggies and will be enjoying some squash for the new few days. This food thing is pretty darn fun!
One of my favorite friends is Even. Mommy and Daddy work or, more importantly, play when I'm with Even a few hours a week. Even takes me to the beach, on amazing walks through the park, we read and laugh and do all sorts of fun stuff. Sometimes when Even leaves I feel so sad I want to cry... then I remember that I get to see her again soon :)
I finally had the opportunity to meet the other babies that were in Mommy & Daddy's birth class at Sage Femme. Blake and Jessica, brought their lovely Grace. Hocklee and Blakely and little Wei-on showed up stylin after celebrating Blakely's birthday the night before. Johnathon and Lindsey showed us how beautiful and alert Eowyn shines. Tabi and John were naturals with little Juniper. And, Juni and Alec brought delightful Lola. We all had an amazing time getting to know one another. We took loads of pictures, but the ones to share are the hot baby mamas and the ever-so-excited dads. Looking forward to seeing Grace, Wei-on, Eowyn, Juniper and Lola again soon.
The first week in Australia Mommy and Daddy took me to the Hunter Valley which is apparently a top wine region. You'll see a pick of me and a glass of chardonnay. They have some great chard in that region! We stayed in a cabin on 100 acres of forest. There were kangaroos with their joey's in our yard. We saw lizards (dragon snakes are actually the real name). And, we lounged in the sunshine from our amazing deck.
Can you believe it? Four months already. At the doctor I weighed almost 15 pounds and am getting quite tall. I thought I would pose for this picture but when I'm not posing I am pretty much tasting everything in sight. Getting back to the pose, what do you think? Like the basket? Mommy was doing my laundry and I thought I'd just jump into the basket - what a perfect shot!
