Sitting with Grandma

Grandma Lai has come all the way from California just to visit me! She says that I look very big in this picture. We are going to have a lot of fun together the next couple of weeks!

5 Years Old?

Mommy says that I look much older in this picture, like I'm five years old or so. Do you think so?

My First Christmas

Yesterday I had my first Christmas. It was fun to be with Grandma and Grandpa Meyers and Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Mark. Grandpa set up the toy train set so I could watch the train go around the Christmas tree. The train is like a real passenger train that people rode in earlier this century, only in miniature. It even has genuine lights and makes train sounds!

I like getting presents! I received the most presents. :)

It looks like I have even more presents when they were unwrapped. Daddy says he's not sure I deserve so many presents. That's mean, Daddy!

Have a 'Barry Mary' Christmas!

My friends Barry and Mary Christmas and I wish everyone a 'Barry Mary' Christmas and happy holiday season!

Reading is Fundameal

Mommy says that eating my books will not increase literacy in America.

I'm already eating at the kindergarten level.

Practice Makes Perfect

I've been practicing sitting up on my own. Actually, it's something that Mommy and Daddy make me do. It's kind of hard, though. But sometimes I like sitting up, since that's what I see big people doing all the time and I can see more.

Eating the Peacock

I like my new friend Jacque the Peacock. I'm not sure he likes me, though, because I like to eat him! His tail 'feathers' are very tasty. He is also very colorful and his high-contrast patterns make him a feast for the eyes and make him easy to spot!

After I'm done with chewing on him, I just drop him over the side of my high chair. I don't think he likes that either, but it's funny!

Five Months Old!....

...but I still haven't lost the "Dude, where's my car?" look. For some reason, this Exerciser Jumper flummoxes me.

First Game Night

Mommy and Daddy took me to game night yesterday with friends who coincidentally have the same last name as Daddy and me! In the picture below, it almost looks like I could be their kid, too, doesn't it? :) I got to play a little with Rob and Sonya's little one, Theo, but he's 14 months old, so that makes him a lot older than me. Someday I will be just as mobile, and then we can play together more.

Elite 'Baby SEAL' Ops

Mommy says I could be part of the elite baby armed forces, armed with a killer smile and chubby cheeks. :) I already know how to sky-dive.... this is almost exactly the same pose that Mommy's instructor taught her to take after jumping out of a plane!

When I'm on the ground, I can raise my head high and use my advanced reconnaissance skills to gain tactical advantage! :)

Tummy Time Superbaby

Mommy says I'm a super tummy timer. I can now push my chest off of the floor and look all around!

I can even do the superbaby flying pose with my arms in the air, all by myself! Note that my arms and hands are not blurry in the picture, because I can hold them in the air completely steadily!

Not even Daddy can do the same thing. Mommy says it looks like I've killed Daddy!

Puppets

I like watching the puppet shows that Daddy puts on. The stories that he makes up must sure be funny, because Mommy always laughs at them. I don't understand them yet, but soon I will find out what's so funny! Mommy is going to get more puppets for me for Christmas so Daddy can make up more stories to entertain me with.

The Pianist

Mommy started music time with me today. She played on the piano while I watched from my high chair. Mommy sat me on her lap so I could play, too.

Bonnet

Mommy and Daddy thought I should get exposed to new environments once in a while and see other people, so they took me on a quick trip to Kohl's and Best Buy on Sunday. Because it was cold, they bundled me up before taking me outside. They put me in a jacket with a hood to keep my head warm. Mommy thought I was dressed like babies in the 18th or 19th century, with a frilly bonnet.

Kai's Baby Shower

Mommy hosted a baby shower for her friends Kai and Tze on Saturday. I liked meeting their friends and getting lots of attention. Some of their guests had little kids too and I liked playing with them. I will also have a new playmate soon when Kai and Tze's baby boy arrives. It won't be long now before I will get to meet him!

In this picture, Kai looks like the movie star Angelina Jolie! :)

Superbaby II

Mommy took this photo on Tuesday right before shooting the Superbaby video. I'm getting ready to take my first recorded flight!

Nap-time In My Swing

I was so tired this afternoon, I fell alseep with Eeyore right in my swing. Daddy snuck a picture of me when I wasn't looking.
