Music Men :)


Ah, daddy's guitar playing brings me back to being into the womb when daddy would play and mommy would sing. I had to study this instrument for a few minutes since it has been a while since daddy played.
I quickly got the hang of it and wanted to play, too!
Oh, yeah! I am going to play one of these one day!
I went over to back daddy up on the piano. Man, we sound good!

I am a standing man!

I love standing at my learn and groove that my mimi and popi gave me for Christmas! I can make all kinds of music with it!
I also love to stand by the bathtub and watch the water run for my bath. Look at beamer, that crazy cat. I am going to catch those cats one day, but for now they stay well clear of me.


Oink Oink!



After being at or below the 5th percentile for weight for almost 8 months, I am finally above the the 5th and out of the red. I actually gained 4 pounds in 6 weeks! I am now 17 pounds 3.5 ounces. I have finally gotten this whole eating thing and the only thing I really don't care for is the green peas. So far, I am eating baby applesauce, green beans, sweet potatoes, peaches, green peas (yuck), squash, bananas, rice cereal and oatmeal. When we went for the weight check our MD said that I could start having baby crackers and cheerios. Hey, Dave.....I can have cheerios now! Can you believe it? My mommy hasn't ventured into that territory yet, but I am sure that there will be pictures galore when we go down that road.

Big boy high chair

For Christmas, Mimi and Popi took all of us (my mom and dad, uncle paddy and aunt liz and uncle kyle) to the castle in Tarrytown. It was such a nice vacation. We got to be there through New Year's. When we went to afternoon tea, I got to do something I had never done before...I got to sit in the big boy high chair. I read my book while everyone else drank tea and ate little mini- sandwiches, but I didn't care because I was sitting with the big folks. Is this table really high....or am I really this short???
Mmmmmm....this book tastes good!

Christmas in Irvington

Wow, Santa even came to see me at our house in Irvington, too! I must have been a really good boy this year! :)
I got a lot of books and a few toys, but my favorite thing to do was just to get to stand up by the couch. I love to stand.
I also liked my new talking puppy dog. She sings and teaches my colors and body parts.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!

Christmas in Connecticut at the Inigo's

Yummy Christmas breakfast....french toast, egg casserole and grits. Mmmmm...too bad I only got to have my baby sweet potatoes!
Me and Mommy and Daddy Christmas morning in CT.
I loved the presents under the tree....what?....are they not all for me?
Merry Christmas to me....I loved all of my new toys, especially my new set of keys (my daddy said too bad they don't go to a brand new car).
The whole gang....Dave and Annie (our next door neighbors), The Metcalfe's (Dave's Parents from Maine) and The Inigo's (Annie's parents whose house we stayed at in CT). I also loved my new baseball. Go Yankee's! .... Well, I am a New Yorker you know!

My Christmas Long John's

These are the baby long john's that my great aunt Karen and Uncle Donald sent to me. They are are perfect fit! My mommy loves how my feet show through at the bottom.
Hahaha, mommy! Thanks for showing my bottom to friends and family. What is up with these pajamas anyway?! I still don't get it! Is there a draft in here?
(No potty accidents occured while taking these pictures :)
