Oma Goes to Costa Rica

Well, I hear Oma is leaving for Costa Rica to see Aunt Sarah. I'm getting this post out especially for her, so she'll have some new photos to take with her.

First, I've got to give props to the new woman in my life, Laura, who comes to hang out with me a few times each week.

She has been working with me on my standing. I don't have the hang of it on my own, but I can do it with a little help.

If I'm not on my feet, then I'm on my tummy. Mom just can't seem to wait until I can roll over.

Here are a few more of me laughing at Mom because she's being so silly.

Here are some photos from last Sunday afternoon. I briefly caught a few z's while Mom and Dad took me to the museum and then to the library. This was my only "nap" of the day. I was a little Energizer bunny. Dad took me on two walks, totaling 90 minutes, but I wasn't tired. After our busy day, we got home around 5, and I just looked him in the eye and thought, "What else are you going to throw at me today, Dad?"

Splish, Splash . . .

I decided it was time for a little post. I am continuing to enjoy my baths. Dad says I look like a little Viking with my hooded towel. Yeah, a pretty harmless Viking.

Note that Mom always has the tape measure handy because I'm growing so fast.

I am also starting to use the chair that Oma made for me. As you can see, it snowed, and Mom and I had to stay inside. She showed me my first snow. It was pretty cool.

Supersize Me / Global Warming

I've decided to give my posts a new look. I've gotten bigger and so have the photos!

I'm now 24 inches and a little over 14 pounds. (Earlier reports of my reaching 15 pounds were exaggerated.) As I close in on 3 months, this puts me at about 50 percentile in length and 60 percentile in weight.

I've been starting to eat solid foods. I make a mess, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Of course, I'll never pass up the bottle.

Mom and I discovered that I like to fly.

I am becoming more vocal. Here Mom and I are having a little talk.

Mom has been on Dad to make sure my outfits match. In this case, I could have done without the hat to match my pants, but Mom insisted that it was cold out (68) and that I needed it for our walk.

This is how I roll.

Here are a few more outtakes. Enjoy...
