Half a world away

Mommy and I are in Kiev. I'm a little confused about why it is so dark outside, when I want to play. I talk to daddy on the phone and on mommy's computer. He tells me he misses us very much!

A day at Stanford

We took the bikes to Stanford University campus and had a family picnic.

We went to the Rodin garden and posed with the sculptures.

I had a lot of fun crawling in the grass.

Busy Week

I've begun climbing stairs and I'm getting really good at it!



















Mommy gave daddy a heart-shaped balloon for Valentine's day. I'm not sure why, but it scared me at first and I hid my face from it for days. Then, I decided it was OK and now we're best of friends.

Daddy took the boat out of storage and got it ready for the season. I can't wait to ride on the water! I even wore my sailor's outfit and pretended to be captain on the high seas... Well, parked in the street, anyway.











Have I mentioned, I like to bounce? B is for Bounce. Oh, Auntie Kari... B is also for Bob!

Bathtime & Milestones

I have an absolute blast at bath time. Mommy and daddy are excited, because I'm sitting on my own, graduating from creeping, to crawling and as you can see... I've got my first two teeth!

6 Months Old

Mommy and daddy finally took my 6 months pictures (only 2 weeks late). They tortured me for two hours, but I was a trooper and here's how they came out.

Getting Around

I'm getting ready to crawl any day now! My newest move is to roll onto my belly, get my hands under myself and then push back, until my knees are also under my body. Not sure where to go from here... "Mommy! Pick me up!"

All buckled in and ready to go to the park!

Santa got me a bicycle trailer for Christmas. Now, daddy can tow me around the park. Safety first, as daddy secures my helmet and explains the safety rules. Then, when the ride was over, we went down by the lake and said "Hello" to some very friendly Canada Geese.

My First Christmas

Mommy, Daddy and I drove to Salt Lake City to visit Grandma, Grandpa, my aunties and uncles and cousins.
