Dad loaded up the camera with a host of different trips over the past few weeks. So, here is one posting that includes all of them.
First, we went to Merrymead Farms in Lansdale to eat some ice cream and look at the animals. Second, dad brought the camera to my weekly Gymboree class where I had a lot of fun. Lastly, mom and dad took the day off of work and took me to the Please Touch Museum. That was the highlight of my month so far, as you can tell by the pictures.
Mom and Dad hired a professional photographer they met at a friends wedding. The photographer is named Mike and his website is located here –> http://www.ashimagery.com/
The photos were taken at the Morris Arboretum. There are a lot of photos, I hope you enjoy them!
Let me first apologize for my dad and the lack of updates. He recently upgraded digital cameras and he has had a devil of a time getting all of the settings correct. This technology stuff is not his strong suit.
Anyway, the first couple of photos were taken at the local Community Center, where I am taking a toddler swimming class. I am enjoying the class very much. The second batch of photos is of my parents most recent find, a local park that has all kinds of climbing apparatus and slides that are geared towards my age group. I really enjoy going down the slide and running around the park.
Lastly, a few videos of me. The first is my mom and I playing. I just can’t get enough of her leg going over my head. The second video is me realizing I’m on camera. I stop whatever I might be doing and become fixated on that wonderful lens! Lastly, a video of me getting the hang of feeding myself. Those spoons are mighty tricky!
Mom, Dad and I went to the Conshohocken St Patrick’s Day Parade. It was pretty chilly out, but I still managed to wear my sunglasses and Irish hat. So there! Back at the house after the parade, Dad kept shooting pictures and got some good ones while the sun was coming in the windows.
OK, I have an update of three videos that should bring a nice chuckle to your day. I’m always in the mood to entertain and there is not a day that goes by that I do not put a smile on my parents face with some new antic. Here are some of my latest accomplishments…
1. When I was very young, maybe 4-6 months old, my dad’s good friend Dr Paul Ufberg came by with his wife Jordy and their three children Jack, Ella and Charley. When Dr Paul was down here, I observed his habit of walking around while talking on his phone. This is my best impression of him, using my Mom’s phone.
2. Recently, I have tried to move away from these childish sippy cups. I’m still learning, but Mom is giving me tiny sips of water from a glass. Yes, I know I knock my teeth against the glass. Yes, I know I stick my tongue into the water. Yes, I know most of it dribbles down my shirt. Deal with it!
3. Lastly, my walking has really improved. Gone are the days of Frankenstein arms to balance. That was so last week. Now, I’ve moved on to climbing stairs. I’m well aware that each stair reach’s my waist, but that has not stopped me from walking up the stairs one step at a time, with a little help from Dad.
I had my 1st Birthday Party on Sunday February 14th, just 2 days before my actual birthday. I had a great group of friends and family to help me celebrate. The gift giving was very generous as was the icing on the cake. Note the great job my Aunt Beth, Aunt Trish and Mom did on those Sesame Street cupcakes! Jealous?
It is a new year so I wanted to add some new videos of some accomplishments…
A video of my first tentative steps. Not running the Boston Marathon yet, but soon.
Here I am using a kitchen chair to act as my “walker”. Why my parents by these toys and gadgets to aid in my walking is beyond me, this works fine!
Last, but not least, the newest thing I learned is to avoid getting all that nasty soapy water in my face when Mom washes my hair. Here is a video of my lean-back technique.
I am starting to get the feeling that I am going to like this holiday. We went out for and put this great smelling tree in the house, hung a bunch of things on it and then a few days later, all these toys appeared underneath. I don’t know what magical powers this tree has, but I like it.
My first Christmas went off well. I got lots of great gifts from family and friends. Here are the pictures to show you…
Also, great pictures at the end of this post of my new favorite thing, Dad’s iPhone! I love to suck on it and bite it. But, my favorite thing is to help him use it. I have already figured out how to call Aunt Trish (several times) and I have mastered the art of putting my head in front of Dad’s when he is using it…again…pictures below.
