Innate athleticism

Now that I'm getting the hang of this whole walking thing, I'm training for any possible athletic career by running everywhere I go.

And a lot of climbing reps

My Trip to Seattle

The last time I was on a plane was way back in March 2009 when I was only a few months old and I flew to Arizona to see my dad's cousin Peter marry his beautiful wife Hannah.

So this past weekend, mom and dad and me flew on an airplane all the way up to Seattle.  Mom and dad went to see the wedding of their friends Sarah Schroeder and Eric Wyttenbach.

We also got to see grandma and grandpa Yahn

And great grandma Marty

Plus, I got to see this stuff called "rain"




But mostly, I enjoyed interacting with the great outdoors in the great Northwest

Oh yeah .... I'm a Rock Star

Sam's Directorial Debut

The other day, daddy gave me the reigns and let me drive the camera.

Tattoo You

Last week, mommy moved her work shift back to days, and I started going to day care three times a week. Aunty Leslie is real nice and all the kids there are real kewl.

I like to play with my wagon.



I just started to pull it myself.



Here's me and dad and Bowser at the beach yesterday

Are You a Sucker for a Smile?

Awesome

Me and Dada went for a walk yesterday in the park.  He was carrying me on his shoulders.  While I was up there, I leaned over to his ear and said, "Dadda!  You haven't posted anything on the blog in a long time!"

So, here's one of my new favorite words



Of course, not every day is awesome

Sunny Summer Beach Days

When I go to to the beach, I always make sure to bring a hat.

On bright Pacifica days, one needs to protect one's skin when one goes wave gazing......

.......and trail strolling

iYabba

buddies

I love my dog and best friend Bowser.  We're always hanging out together.

We have the same interests (mostly laying around)

Sometimes he gets annoyed by how much I .... (ahem) bug him.

But he always loves me and I'll always love him.

A Mysterious Tube

When I went to the Daly City Party Playhouse with Mommy today, I found a mysterious tube.

Luckily, I got through it, to my vehicle.

1st Giants Game 2010 -- all washed out

Mommy and daddy took me to the Giants game on Sunday the 11th.

I was raining all day and they postponed the game.  We left early and didn't actually see the game (it started 4 hours late), but we had a hot dog and hot chocolate.

The Dude's At the Beach
