A Pumpkin, A Black Cat and a Giraffe?

Dad and Mom say it's time for Halloween, so I guess this is a new holiday for me. I was a Giraffe for halloween as Mom found me this great costume. You can see I have a tale, ears, and I even have a thing on me that makes a snoring sound. Of course Dad wanted to take pictures, then Dingo the cat wanted to come up and play with me in some of the pictures. Then we headed down to the Infant ICU Halloween Party where I saw hundreds of other kids in costumes. They took a picture of all three of us although it did not turn out great. They took a more professional picture that should be better. To top if off, since it was a beautiful day, Mom and Dad took me to the beach in the afternoon as it was 75 degrees with no wind. I got to play in the water for awhile until I was cold, then finally I came home and now I am taking a big nap!

Stinson Beach

The final day of the weekend we went out to visit Grandma's friends the Pirelli's at their place on Stinson Beach. Remember earlier Grandma and Mom took me here but forgot the camera, but since Dad was around there are plenty of pictures. We all played on the beach, and I even went in the cold water again. We even met Mr. Phil on the beach, who is in charge of making the Jean's Dad buys me.

Lagunitas

Next we went out to Grandma Julie's place in Lagunitas and I played with Mom, Dad, Grandma, Miles the Cat, Sandler, Liza and Dina the dogs. You can see by the photo's I had a great time and I took a picture in uncle Walt's old chair.

Visiting Great Grandma and Grandpa

This weekend I went out to Marin, and on the way we stopped off and saw great grandma Claire and Granpa Preben. We even took a family photo of three generations of us. Grandpa Preben likes to play with my hands, and he gets very excited when I come and visit.

Pumkpin Patch

Big Day

Today was a great day, it started out when both Mom and Dad were home and then they took me to see the Duckies, Grandma and Grandad and then the Pumpkin Patch. Grandma and Grandad went to Italy which is farther away than I can go in my little Elmo walker. Grandma bought these great blocks that I could have played with for hours, they were the perfect size and they had lots of colors and shapes. Grandad took lots of super pictures of me once I realized where I was and started laughing and playing. It was a fun visit for me and I showed off some of my crawling stunts in the end as the grand finale. Then after I took my nap we went to the Pumpkin Patch which is a block away from the house..When I was only 3 weeks old I went there when it was a christmas tree lot, but I don't really remember that (although you can see it on this site). Above are some of the best pictures from the pumpkin patch, although they are all really nice.

A big day!

I know you all love pictures but I thought you would like to hear the news! I can put my pacifier in my mouth all by myself! Yep, finally figured that out! Also I'm getting closer to crawling. Today I actually pulled myself out of the sitting position and into the crawling position and moved a few inches! That was grand fun! I also put myself to sleep for my nap today. This is a first and a huge relief to mommy. That means all those nights of letting me cry it out actually worked!
So the A's play tonight and mom's going so I have our baby sitter Dawn. That should be lots of fun!
Go A's!

Playoffs

One of the reasons its been a little quiet lately is that Mom and Dad have been very excited about Dad's team in the Baseball Playoffs. They made it all the way to the American League Championship Series for the first time since Mom was 16 years old! Mom went to see the big game Friday where they won the first series. It's been nice because Dad sure is excited about going to work and help the team win the playoffs! He says thats all he wants for me someday is to be able to do whatever I want and go work someplace where you love it all the time!

(H)Andyman

One of Mom and Dad's favorite outfits for me now is "Handyman". Dad likes it because its basically Andyman when you cover up the H.

Tub Time

One of the best times of the day is tub time. After playing for hours in the park, I tend to be pretty dirty. They say that what little boys do, they get dirty! Unlike Dad who HATED the water, I love it. Mom has always encouraged me to play in the water by taking swim lessons, playing in Great Grandma's pool and taking lots of baths. I have lots of little floating buddies that help me out, and the best part of course is kicking all the water out of the tub!

Static Electricity

So one day for some reason I had funny hair because of some static electricity in the air. It just stood up on end for hours and hours so Dad took some funny pictures of that. There is also one picture of me hanging out in front of the fan on one of those hot days. I really like it with all the wind blowing in my face. It is that time of year in San Francisco when we get some really hot days!
