Merry Christmas 2009

Grandma and Grandpa from Washington are visiting. They found out something funny that I laugh at









I'm had lots of fun shopping at the mall

Here's me with grandpa and great grandma

So, for Christmas Eve, mom, dad, me, grandma and grandpa Yahn, grandma and grandpa Romero, and aunty Teri and uncle Scott went to Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's house in San Jose to celebrate Christmas with the Romeros









Here's the real picture

The next day, we celebrated Christmas morning at grandma and grandpa's house in Tracy. Bowser was totally enthused

I got lots of neat toys from everybody. Thanks to all of my friends and family :o)

So, my first full year is ending-- I'm not quite walking yet, though Grandma Yahn just tonight said that I took a couple or a few steps from the doggy door to my new toy box in the living room. My eyes are officially no longer blue, they've changed to a hazel. And I'm living and laughing and scooting and moving.

Happy New Year to you all! Cheers to 2010!

While I'm on a blog posting role, here's me and my brother playing

The Big Boy

Creepy Crawly

Gramma and Grampa

For Thanksgiving, Gramma and Grampa from the Great Wet North visited. B'sides eating turkey and junk, this is what else we did.

Thanksgiving and Stuff

Not my first Thanksgiving, but the first one that I enjoyed turkey at. Here are some choice shots from Turkey Day from Dad's cell phone.

Dad thinks mommy and me look so much alike

Here's some progress on my talking

That's all for now, see you guys around

And here's a picture of me at exactly 10:35 a.m. today (my exact birth minute):

Mom had the Pacifica Mothers Club (and their babies) over for Rice Krispies Treats and balloon fun time. Dad had to work, but he Skyped in to see the party and wish me happy birthday at my exact minute (the Skype video is what this picture is from).

We're having a small celebration on the 21st, when grandma and grandpa Yahn are in Pacifica for Thanksgiving.

I been eating "outside" food pretty regularly. Mom and dad mix some baby rice cereal with formula and organic baby food and I eat two meals of that a day.

This weekend was Memorial Day. Mom, dad, Bowser and I went to their friend's Chip's house in Merced to chillax in the heat.











I also met my uncky Brandon there. He took some snapshots of me like this one:

Mother's Day and 6 Months Old

Mother's Day was Sunday. I gave mommy something special

This is her opening it

And this is after she opened it.


It was a locket with my picture in it.

Monday I turned six months-old. And Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment. Everything's still looking good. I weigh 18 1/2 pounds now and I'm in the upper 75th percentile of baby size.

Rolling over pretty good now,












and trying to eat a couple meals of solid food a day.

Giggle Monster

MILESTONE!



I have rolled over from my back to my stomach. Now I can roll all over the mat when I'm laying down :o)

Also, my eyes are turning brown, I think they are pretty obviously changing colors.

. . . Like a weed

Everything's starting to happen now.

MILESTONE

This week, I ate my first solid food.







I still haven't got the hang of swallowing yet. Dad's not worried though.
