Hi Family and friends! Did I ever tell you how much I love bananas? Or watching people through windows?

Or eating teething buscuits and drinking yogart juice, while watching Daddy 'baby-proof'?
Or going on afternoon strolls, while playing with toys?

Let's do another comparison...of 10 months...me sleeping









Have a phenomenal week! xo Baby El

Happy 39th Birthday Mommy!


I woke at 6:20, and here I am eating my cherry puffs, before I go play!

Yesterday, when Mommy got home from work, we played I played a little piano I remember when rock was young... Me and Suzie had so much fun... OK, next...
On a sad note...
My Great Grandma went to emergency yesterday - has congestive heart failure. Mommy and I are going to go visit her today, so we'll catchya later! Here I am with Grandma (Great Grandma's Daughter)... I got my very own visitor's badge!

Hey everyone! I'm 10 months old today! I know...it's hard for ME to believe too. Well we had a major thunder storm this morning! Yes, in Southern California, in July!! It was LOUD! Mommy let me watch out the window. It was very very early...Daddy wasn't even up yet...we thought the 'booms' might wake him....then our electricity went out!! YIKES!

These gams were made for walkin'... WOW this wall is high!

I wonder if I can climb into my stroller this way? (don't worry, the wheels are locked) My Daddy has put all sorts of soft, bitable, stuff around our furniture...and I love it...especially pulling it off! Once in a while, I multi-task, by pulling and playing piano or, I pull and bite at the same time! This is about the time Mommy took me away and told me that this was for my protection... I throw temper tantrums now too! My Grandparents came to visit me today! They are so nice...they love on me and make me laugh. Uncle Jay gave me a cool outfit and Grandma & Grandpa gave me two cool summer outfits and a cool new toy! Here I am wearing one of the outfits and holding part of the toy walking from the sofa to the ottoman...I held this part of the toy all afternoon! Then the spoon got pretty interesting too!There is something I love about playing with shoes! Mommy and Daddy tell me how gross and dirty they are, but I don't care...Daddy's slippers are soft! Mommy asked me to please stop playing with them...hahaha, yeah right... well, she took them away anyway...Mommy doesn't photograph the temper tantrums, but they are pretty humorous. People tell me I am quite dramatic. Daddy says, "hmmmm, I wonder who you got that from?"

I love Frisco...he lets me jump on him, squeeze him and even lay on him! He eventually runs away...come back Frisco!!! Now and again, I like to read a good book, however the pictures must be cool...I read a few from my Baby Disney series today... Hey kids, the weekend is over... Catchya later!

Today is a milestone day! At 8:50 am, I walked the whole length of my bedroom!! I started at my changing table shelves and walked all the way to the door when I wrapped my arms around my Mommy's neck and we both screamed with happiness. The day before I turned 10 months! Not what the doctor predicted, since I am so big. Anyway, I'm off to go walk some more! Catchya later!

Here I am this morning, playing with my beach ball...(before the 'big event')

Happy Birthday Uncle Jay!! (This photo was taken March, 2002)
