Sam's Birthday movies

1. Wizard of Oz - still a baby, barely attentive.  I moved the high chair into the living room and we watched while we ate dinner.

2. Dr. Doolittle - long and slow.  Sam was not very interested.  Watched with Sarah, Helen, and Steve.

3.Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope - the beginning of Sam's love affair with Star Wars

4. Jurassic Park - Mommy, daddy, and Sammy - Sam was awesomely intrigued.  Got scared at the end, and we had to finish watching the next day.  Then he made me put it on again.  And again.

1st Day of Preschool

Today was my first day of preschool.

This is me after Dada dressed me

This was me outside of our house, by the car.

This was me on the way up to the Pacifica Playschool

When Dada left, I was drenched with tears and crying.  By lunch, this was me

When Dada picked me up, I was smiling and playing with my new friend.  And then we went to Sea Bowl.

The Frogman Cometh

I walked around wearing my Frogman cape this weekend.  Ty Ty loved it.

Later, I considered using my frog-like abilities to go on the neighbor's slip n slide.  I opted to keep dry.

My buddy Rusty

Rusty had a brain freeze while we were eating cake and ice cream an dTy Ty's birthday party

A Tribute to Doggies

Doggies is my blankey.
I have loved him since I was born.
Doggies sleeps with me every night.
Doggies accompanies me on almost every car trip.
Doggies is so soft.  He is my buddy.

I yabba, Doggies.

Gigantic balls of fire freak me out

We went to the Maker Faire today,  Saw some super cool robots.

And now: R2D2

Peek A Boo with Uncky Brad

Uncky Brad's so silly

The Zoo

Today we went to the San Francisco Zoo

I was a tad concerned about what might happen when we first got there.

But the locals made us comfy

But as soon as we got on the Zoo's choo choo, I got really enthusiastic.

We saw bears and lions and penguins.  I loved the big cockaroaches in the insect zoo.

And, eventually, I hung out by the monkeys

And, at the end of the day, I got a bubble gun

I hate being sick

Today I was sick.  I woke up and when Dada said, "Good morning, how are you?"  I said, "Not good."

Then he checked my forehead.  We drove Ty Ty to Aunty Les's, and I said, "Dada, why do you check my head?"

And he said, "Because I'm looking to see if you're hot.  If you have a fever."

"Daaaadaaaa, I have a fever...  I'm sick.  I wanna stay home and watch Star Wars."

While at home, every time I stood up and walked around, I'd let out a little whimper whenever I'd pass Daddy.

I turned in early. 

I hate being sick.

The Park by Papa and Gramma's

Last night, me and Tyler stayed with Gramma and Papa in San Jose.

We went to the park...

Then, Papa took us out for ice cream,

stomp rocket

Me and Dada and Ty Ty played Stomp rocket outside with the neighbor boy that has an electric dirt bike, Austin, while the Cable Guy was putting up a satelite dish.

I'm very excited because I think satellite dishes are really cool.

Dada's going to the Radiohead concert tonight and I'm staying with granma and papa.  We're going to granpa Tom's birthday dinner.

Mommy left today for Chicago to take care of Grandpa Steve.  We'll miss her, but we'll make sure to put up a new post every day to keep her company.

Dada's home on a staycation -- and yesterday he went to the Goant Farm with me, mommy, and Ty Ty.  When we were there, we met my buddy Rusty.

It was so sunny, I had to wear shades on the way to the Farm.

Speaking of eye wear -- I have a pair of swim goggles.  Of course, I don't swim yet, so I'm using them as rolling-around-on-the-bed-while-watching-cartoons-in-the-morning goggles

The other day, mommy took me to see Great Granma Marty and Great Aunt Janet in Rohnert Park.

Yerba Buena Gardens

Yesterday was a kind of lazy day around the house.

We went to Yerba Buena Gardens in SF yesterday --They had a big fountain there that was so cool.

 

And this awesome carousel.  Me and dada rode on it together.  Mommy and Ty did too!

Play time at Sea Bowl

Aunty Les, the lady who takes care of me while mom and dad work a couple days a week, took us out to pizza at Sea Bowl last night.

I got to see what everybody looks like in real life :o)

Me with Gracie (in the middle), Hayley, and Gracie's brother

Me and Gracie played a few games.  I got lots of little rubber animal: 2 octopi, a seahorse, a Nemo fish -- also, I got a phatty gold medallian.  Dada helped me get a stuffed Scooby Doo too.

And then, Gracie and I swung around a bit.

When I got tuckered, I took in a game of air hockey.

Aunty Les takes such good care of us, and we had so much fun.  Thank you!

With Grammy and Papa

Ty Ty and me got to spend all weekend with Grammy and Papa in San Jose

I got to play with the squirt guns.  Needless to say, Grammy left the back yard before we started quirting.

Sunset Beach

Musical, artistic interlude

Here's a bonus pic -- Ty Ty is such a big girl now, she doesn't even need her baby bath anymore.  Last night, we shared a bath tub together for the first time.  I helped her wash and rinse and told her what to do.

Mommy is so excited, she's been looking forward to having this picture since Ty Ty was born.

Rolling, playing, parking, and Grandma Helen

Grandma Helen and Grandpa Steve came down to pay us a visit.

We went out to pizza.  My favorite part is the little courtyard where the sword shop is.

This last weekend, we visited Grammy and Papa in San Jose.  I got to play in a park

Look how I can climb down this ladder!

And one last one of me playing
