The Elephant Whisperer

If I grow up to be a zookeeper like Mommy, I'm going to learn to speak Elephant first. I think elephants are pretty funny, and I'd like to be in on their jokes.

Hop on Papi

Daddy went out of town for the weekend, but Mimi and Papi came to visit me. They did a good job taking care of me all day while Mommy was at work. Papi gave me rides to the park just like Daddy does!

Tummy Time Pals

Today I visited my friends Katie and Noah. They have lots of cool new toys at their house, and we spent some quality time on our tummies together!

Half Birthday

On Tuesday, I turned six months old, or half a "year," whatever that is. I had a lot of trouble picking which rattles I liked best at the store. Shopping is hard!

I still love books

I'm almost six months old now, and I still love books. I guess it wasn't just a passing fad after all...

Gramalicia's visit

I took Gramalicia to my favorite waterfall while she was visiting from Florida. Mommy and Daddy were nice enough to let me spend some quality time with her while they went out. I hope they weren't too bored without me around.

What's up Doc?

Last weekend I went to Disneyland with a whole bunch of Nickels. Nonie & Doc took me on "It's a Small World" and it blew my little mind. Who knew there could be so many pretty lights in one place! And that great song- I love the repetition deal. Anyway, I had a great time and hope to see my cousins again soon.

Bath time is MY time

It doesn't matter how many washcloths you try to distract me with, I will steal them all and put them in my mouth! Ha ha ha!

One more from Hawaii

OK, so this picture isn't new. Let's face it, Mommy went back to work full time and Daddy has his hands full just keeping up with me. I'll get them to take some new pictures soon!

Pooh bear

Now that Mommy is working at the Zoo again, she dresses me in outfits with ears. I sure get rumbly in my tumbly- I hope she's bringing home some honey!

Five Months Old

I turned five months old today. I also tried oatmeal for the first time - yum! I don't know why Mommy insists on holding the spoon, because I'm sure I could do it by myself.

Found my feet

I've recently discovered something very interesting. Until we went to Hawaii, I thought my legs had socks on the end, but it turns out that there are feet under there, too! It is now my mission to remove any socks and continue to investigate this issue.

Aloha from Hawaii

Hi everyone, I got to dip my feet in the ocean for the first time here on the big island. At first it was scary, but then I thought it was fun. It's very warm here and I never have to wear socks. Sometimes I don't even wear pants!

new toy

I got this great new toy that has a million activities. I can't wait to use it, if only Daddy would stop hogging it and give me a turn!

Beat Cal!

Yesterday was Daddy's birthday. It wasn't nearly as messy as my birthday, and instead of going to the hospital, we went to a Stanford basketball game. That was much more fun.
