Sushi Servers

To top off our busy day of going to Chicago and seeing Santa, we went to get some sushi for dinner. All those pretty little ladies were totally digging me! Oh yeah. Check me out. I'm a ladies man, yes I am!

Lying Santa

This guy tells great stories. He told me something about flying reindeer and some such thing. Who ever heard of reindeer?

We Caught Him!

We did it! We caught the elusive Santa at Macy's in Chicago. It took two of us but once we had him we weren't going to let go. He isn't as big as we thought he would be but feisty all the same. Even though it took two of us to take him down, we each had a chance to hang out with him.

Waiting for Santa

It took us two hours of waiting in line to get a chance to see the big guy. Oooh, what is that? A toy? A cup? Can we have it?

Indecent Proposal

The names have been removed to protect the innocent. And the personal bits have been covered as well! Who gave the chaperones a camera?

What about me?

Hey! I'm back here! Look at me! Sophia is stealing all the shots!

Dada

OK, OK, I finally said it. I said Dada. Mom was able to get a picture of me actually saying it so now I can't deny it. At the time of this posting I have also said Mama, but you can't prove it with any pictures!

Fun with the Elder Vladika's

Meme and Grampo had me laughing until I squealed! That Grampo guy sure is funny. And even funnier wearing my hat!

Tryptophan

Following dinner we had to do a little resting. Dad was helping me understand the benefits of naps.

Thanksgiving

Meme and Grampo came up to celebrate Thanksgiving with us in Milwuakee. I like this holiday, it has all you can eat mashed potatoes.

Froggy Mommy

This was my Halloween costume that mom is getting some serious mileage out of.

Isn't my mom great?

Two Teeth

I guess I got my Christmas present early this year. I now have two teeth and they are fantastic. It was a little painful getting them but they are worth it. I can chew on mom's hand and make her squeal. I never knew teeth would be so great.

Rock Out!

I rock! Even in my sleep I rock.

Julia's Birthday

I visited my cousin Julia to help her celebrate her Birthday on November 10th. (that date sounds familiar, hmmm, oh yeah, that's because it is cousin Talan's birthday too) We had a great time partying together. I can't wait to have one of these Birthday things, they are a blast.

Mr. Nastymind

My Aunt Linille gave me some cool new onesies. Check this one out. I think she is trying to get back at my dad for the onesies he made for my cousin Talan. Either way it is pretty funny.

Kitchen Sink Bath

What are you looking at?! This crazy lady keeps trying to get pictures of me naked. Take your paparrazi tendencies and get out of here. Can't a guy take a bath in peace?

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.
