Apples and Prunes

I am a big boy now, and bigger by the day. I saw Sophia eating bananas and convinced my mother that I am ready for real food too. Baby can't live on booby juice alone!

We tried peas, not a big fan. Then we tried apples and prunes and those aren't half bad. The more I eat, the more I like them. What other yummy stuff is out there?

35th Annual Clambake

Finally, my first clambake. We travelled to Cleveland with my girlfriend Sophia, Mike, Thu, Tony and Molly to party like movie stars with Meme, Grandpo, Cousin Talan, Aunt Linille, Uncle Todd and a host of other regulars. The picture shows me with Meme and Talan with Grampo.

I think Dad had a bit too much of the clear stuff because he took a nap right after breakfast and didn't have much to say on the ride home. So we obviously had a great time!

Thanks Grampo and Meme for a fantastic first Clambake!

Ali Baby

My mother just can't help herself. And it isn't even Halloween yet.

Rub my belly and I will give you three wishes!

Fishing at Clear Lake

Dad and I went fishing when we weren't out on the boat or playing Uno. Xavier won the fishing tournament and caught a fish that Nate, his dad, prepared for his dinner. As it may be apparent from the picture, we weren't the most successful fishing duo and as a result ate mexican for dinner.

Clear Lake, Iowa

Clear Lake? Here is the secret, it isn't really clear. We went to Tawnya's family lake house over labor day weekend and had a great time. They gave me a vest that matched my hat and let me be captain for a while. All in all, a pretty slimming outfit, don't you think?

Solids?

Nope. Not yet, but man I cannot wait until I get to eat potato chips like Dad and Grampo. For now the shiny, colorful and noisy bag will have to suffice.
