Happy Birthday Mia!

My new friend Mia celebrated one trip around the Sun today.















Posing for pictures can be draining, but I suppose it's my lot in life...

SJFD Fire Station 33

The new firehouse in our neighborhood is finished, so they held a dedication ceremony this weekend. I got to see a vintage firetruck, several new firetrucks, the brass pole and there was even a bagpiper! The best part is, it's only a few blocks from our house!





I was a little tired, but Fire Chief Darryl Von Raesfeld was very pleased to meet me. He said I might be a fireman one day!

I got my very own fireman's helmet and had a ball, playing fireman in the dining area.

The firehouse is going to be my favorite stop on walks around the neighborhood!

A World of New Discoveries

Nothing captivates me like new things to do and see!

In My Room

Daddy wanted to make sure I included an update on the progress of the mural he's painting. From L-R: Marvin the Martian & Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, Pluto & Mickey, Cheburashka & Gena, Wolk & Zaiets, Vinnie Pukh & Pyatachok, Umka and his Innuit friend.

It's My Party

Mommy and Daddy had friends over and they brought a cute girl Katie (who happens to be my age... Hubba Hubba).












I got to show off my walking skills.


Pose for pictures (yawn).















And Mommy made a yummy meal, including pirogi. Too bad I don't have teeth...

On Pappa's Knee

Daddy's home from work and it's time for the men to relax with a bottle and enjoy the view...

Happy as a Clam!

Week 8 and my personality is bursting through. I love to giggle, mug for the camera and steal hearts.

Getting Around

Daddy took mommy and me to University Avenue in Palo Alto, to celebrate mommy's birthday.












We also went to the beach in Capitola and I got sand between my toes.

Do I look like my daddy?

Daddy in 1967...

















And me, in 2007.

Around the block

Mommy and daddy took me for a walk around the neighborhood. I saw grapes growing in the little vinyard, fountains and even a fire truck at the new station.

When you're smilin'...

I'm starting to show more and more of my personality. Tickle my nose, or giggle and I'll giggle back!
