One night in paradise

2008-11-29T21:01:00.000-08:00

When the sun is too bright, first you try the lowrider hat trick.

Then you give in and buy some cool shades.

After dinner, I like to cut the rug with Mommy.

And freestyle a little.

And finally, relax at the hotel.

Reggae dance party

Greetings from Paradise

2008-11-23T17:50:00.001-08:00

We're off on another adventure!!

I was SO excited to get up in the middle of the night and go in Jimmy's car to the airport. I did a lot of "Woo hoo!"s early in the morning.

Here I am in the airport with Daddy making an airport face.

This was pretty much how I spent the entire flight. Mom and Dad were happy about that.

I had an audience, too.

This is what I did when I wasn't watching Scooby Doo or Ratatouille.

Which is why I did this about 10 minutes after we got our rental car.

We went out to lunch and I loved the OJ.

Then Daddy and I decided to check out the pool.

The water was FREEZING!

After that, we decided to try the beach.

After dinner, I heard a great song on the radio and Mommy found it online when we got back to the hotel - so we had a reggae dance party!

A naptime conversation with Mommy

2008-11-03T10:16:00.000-08:00

Mama?
Yes, honey?
Are you happy?
Of course, honey, I'm always happy when I'm with you.
Sam?
Yes, Mama?
Are you happy?
Yes.
Why?
Because I would love you.

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-31T18:52:00.001-07:00

Robin and I started the day out at music class.

This is my "Time to feed me more cupcakes" face.

Time for trick-or-treating!

Mommy calls this picture "2 pumpkins".

Enjoying my favorite treat of the night - gummy teeth.

Another cupcake from Grandma. I love a 2 cupcake day.

Sam the Baker

2008-10-31T18:50:00.000-07:00

I don't do a whole lot of decorating when I "decorate" cupcakes. I do a lot of munching.

Remedies

2008-10-29T19:40:00.000-07:00

When I get sick, I like to relax after my bath with a light snack and some TV.

And sometimes I let it all hang out.

Halloween is Coming!

2008-10-29T19:29:00.000-07:00

I can't wait!

I had a great time at the Little Gym part on Sunday. Before we went, I needed to have a batlunch.

And a batsnack.

Sometimes I like to spontaneously bust a batmove.

That night, we carved our pumpkin. I wasn't so sure about this gook removal business.

Though I really like to get into my work.

Team pumpkin!

We're going to get you, gook!

Mommy's pumpkin and Sam's pumpkin.

Things I Like to Do

2008-10-29T19:26:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I like to bake cookies.

And sometimes I like to take a shower.

A pumpkin-picking we shall go!

2008-10-29T19:16:00.001-07:00

And we did!

I had a great time with Grandma and Baba even though it was FREEEEZING.

The farm had a lot of great climbing toys.

We went on what Mommy calls a hayless ride. That was fun!

I fed the goats, but I didn't like it.

Baba, meet my friend, Pooh.

Grandma bought me my very first cotton candy.

I'm a-gonna eat you.

Some random shots of recent cuteness.

2008-10-26T20:38:00.000-07:00

Okay, okay, okay

2008-10-26T20:15:00.001-07:00

Mommy feels really guilty that she's had so much to update here and has been procrastinating. Get off the stick, I say! So here goes a blitz of catchup - stay tuned - hopefully her motivation won't wear off.

I went to FLORIDA 2 weeks ago with my cousins and Michael and Grandma and Julie (and Mommy and Daddy). Yup, FLORIDA. I woke up in the middle of the night and Jimmy took us to the airport in the DARK and we took 2 different planes to get there! I loved it.

Mommy and I on the plane at 6 in the morning:

Me and my Fireman Sam DVD:

Me and my cousins on the way to the pool:

Evan is a great swimmer:

Daddy and I taking a dip:

Everyone had fun in the pool:

Mommy and I LOVED the carousel:

Daddy and I like to kill time while waiting for the Dumbo ride:

Mommy and I saying "HOORAY!":

Getting my face painted (can you believe I sat still for this?):

Scary snake face!:

It looks like I'm about to belt Mickey, but I really liked him:

I love to play with my cousins:

Max, Mickey and me, flying crazy:

Evan eating his dinner at 11am:

Popsicle Party!

2008-09-22T18:31:00.001-07:00

This is what happens at my house when you have a cough and your tongue hurts.

Fun with G.G.

2008-09-22T18:26:00.000-07:00

I love to visit G.G. I like to tell her that I like her house and I love to play at the playground with her.

Oceanside Cove shufflboard doubles champions 2008.

But after a long day on the courts, you can get REALLY tired.

I'm forever picking apples.

2008-09-22T18:17:00.000-07:00

I like to start off the day wearing my new shoes. Doesn't matter if I'm still in my pajamas - when you have the right shoes, the outfit just follows.

Anyway, on Saturday, Mommy, Daddy, Janeth, Logie and I went apple picking. It was SO MUCH FUN. I ate at least 5 apples right off of the tree - Logie and I looked at ants eating an apple on the ground - we played in the pumpkin patch - we ate raspberries right off of the vine - and we played and played and played. I had a great time!

Vegetables

2008-09-18T11:01:00.000-07:00

This is what was left of the carrot I asked for with lunch today. I presented it to Mommy in her office.

She was very happy and said "Wow - where did the rest of this carrot go?" I said "I ate it." She said "Oh, it's in your tummy?" And I said "No. In the mouth."

Mommy is silly.

I went to the dentist!

2008-09-15T16:23:00.000-07:00

Mommy was SO PROUD of me today. I was a real trouper and Dr. Dawn loved me!!

Here I am pressing the buttons on the chair that goes up and down.

And here I am getting my checkup!

I was SO GOOD that Dr. Dawn gave me lots of stickers and toys.

I really loved the train set in her office and didn't want to leave.

The best thing you can do after seeing the dentist is make brownies!

I really like to get into my cooking. I got brownies all over my feet.

Lollipops are also great post-dental-cleaning aids.

I can't wait to go back in March.

Sunday Fun

2008-09-15T16:14:00.000-07:00

First, I like to play with my castle and just practice general cuteness.

Then a romp through the sprinkle pool is nice (until it breaks!!).

Then I like to dig. I do not like to take phone calls.

I like to say "CHEEEESE" after Mommy asks me 89 times.

Then I like to put out the pumpkin heads for decoration.

And design a new garage floor.

Mommy thinks Photobucket is retarded.

2008-09-15T16:12:00.000-07:00

I guess the last video was deleted because of their child pornography clause. Mommy wants to write them a strongly-worded email, but since my Nude Dude on the Loose video wasn't removed, she doesn't want to raise any flags.

What a bunch of maroons.

Splish Splash

2008-09-11T19:11:00.000-07:00

Which way to Carnegie Hall?

2008-09-07T11:13:00.000-07:00

Mommy's uploading this one just because she loves my face at the very end.

Saturday Night Torture

2008-09-07T11:12:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday, Kailey!

2008-09-07T11:06:00.001-07:00

I had a great time at Kailey's 2nd birthday party yesterday! She is so much fun.

First, she had a clown come to do magic tricks and make balloon animals. I liked to help with the magic.

And then - if you can believe it - Elmo came!! We sang Happy Birthday to Kailey and then I got to hang out with him a little.

After we drove home in the pouring rain, I ate a ring pop from my goodie bag. I love ring pops.

Do I have anything in my teeth?

2008-08-29T18:40:00.000-07:00

Feeding Daddy breakfast

2008-08-24T19:00:00.001-07:00

This 'n that

2008-08-24T18:58:00.001-07:00

Some things I like to do:

Have a little snack:

Take a walk through the clean laundry:

Party Time!

2008-08-23T19:41:00.000-07:00

My 2nd birthday party was SO MUCH FUN!!! It was a beautiful day and everyone came to my house to celebrate with me.

My playhouse was a big hit.

And then the Fun Bus pulled up in front of my house!!

Look how great it is inside!

Michael is so silly.

All of the working out made me thirsty, so I had to drink about 30 juice boxes.

I had a Caillou cake!

After cake, I really got into opening my presents.

I wish I could have a birthday party every day.

I turned 2!

2008-08-23T19:30:00.000-07:00

Mommy feels badly that it's taken her 10 whole days to post about my birthday, but it was such a great day that this is a big job!! It all started when I woke up and went into Mommy and Daddy's room and there were a ton of presents - all for me!

Then Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and I went into the backyard for more! I had a new playhouse and slide!

I took a couple of calls on my new house phone.

And had some breakfast al fresco.

After breakfast, Mommy, Grandma and I went for a pony ride. I got a nice pony named Speckles.

Then I had a pizza party that night! Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, G.G., Grandma and Ba Ba all came. And I got more presents! Here I am with my new Batmobilette.

Then cake - yum!! I love being 2.

I love it when Grandma comes to visit.

2008-08-23T19:23:00.001-07:00

She travels with such glamorous accessories.

I'm Batsam.

2008-08-07T20:01:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday, dear Daddy

2008-08-07T19:30:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday to you!

Thanks, Uncle!

2008-08-05T19:06:00.000-07:00

But who needs a pool when you have a pot?

SURPRISE!

2008-08-05T19:02:00.000-07:00

That's what I said to Daddy when he walked into his party. He loved it.

I like to dress up for gym class.

2008-08-02T08:07:00.001-07:00

Mommy says I have a great sense of style.

2008-07-19T19:08:00.000-07:00

I like to help Daddy put the sprinkler out. And by "help", I mean get SOAKAWET and move it around a lot.

Nude Dude on the Loose

2008-07-14T17:38:00.000-07:00

This is what happens in my house when Mommy and Daddy ask if you want to go to the playground.

Club Gleit!

2008-07-13T19:24:00.000-07:00

I love visiting my cousins in Dix Hills. Today we went with GG and had a fun time in the pool and running around!

Here's where I'm showing Steven that I'm cleaning the floor.

It's funny stuff.

I think Steven is great.

A Grand Night Out

2008-07-13T19:05:00.000-07:00

The annual RVC fireworks! One of my favorite traditions.

Here's Daddy and I walking to meet Sydney and her family.

Colby Colby Colby!!!!

I LOVED the show this year. Here's me and Mommy watching the fireworks.

Sydney preferred to watch the show from her Mommy's armpit.

The party on Mary's lap looked fun, so I tried that out for a while.

Fireworks!

First we "OOOOOOO!"

Then we "AAAAAAH!"

Just relaxing.

And watching with Daddy.

I went to bed at almost 11 o'clock!!!

A Flock of Rubber Duckies

Train Kept A-Rollin'

2008-07-06T18:28:00.000-07:00

All night long!
With a heave and a HO
And I just couldn't tell her so.

Cookie Puss!

2008-07-04T10:45:00.000-07:00

I love to bake cookies!

Rock and Bowl

2008-06-30T19:13:00.000-07:00

I should really take my show on the road.

Little Gym, Big Fun

2008-06-24T18:41:00.001-07:00

Tonight was my last night at The Little Gym. We had a big show so that everyone could see how much we all learned in gym class. Grandma came to watch and I think she loved it!

Here I am during my warmup.

Jumping with Daddy.

Parachute action.

I can swing on the bars all by myself!

The balance beam is my favorite.

Hiding in the donut.

Charles spotting my excellent flip.

Dismount.

Running down the cheese.

Another flip with Charles.

Bubbles!

Balls!

Here I am getting my award.

Some of the kids in my class.

I love gym.

I scream for ice cream

2008-06-23T18:27:00.000-07:00

These pictures don't do it justice, but MMMMM does a chocolate Carvel cone taste better when you share it with your face, hands, arms, shirt, pants, shoes and buggy, or what??

Oh, and PS - these are the faces I make when Mommy says "Give me an ice cream smile":

She thinks that I look like my cousin Max in the last one.

Pee Elmo!

2008-06-18T19:09:00.000-07:00

So at the end of dinner tonight, I tell Mommy "Poop". She says "Do you have to poop?" and I say "Pee". She says "Pee? Do you want to pee on Elmo?" So I say "Pee Elmo." She says "Really?" and I say "Really!" She says "Right now?" and I say "Right now!" So she took me out of my highchair and I yelled "Nude Dude!" and we went into the bathroom and put Elmo on the toilet. I sat there and we looked at my penis and Mommy asked if the pee were going to come out and I said "Psssss!" She laughed and asked again and I peed!! She was SO EXCITED, so I got excited and I stopped peeing. Then I said "More!" So I peed more. Then Mommy was SO excited again, so I stopped. Then I said "More!" and I peed more. I did this a couple of times, then I got off the toilet for a minute and Mommy saw 3 drops of POOP in there, too!! I told her that I wanted to pee again, so she put me back on, but then she saw the poop I made on the floor (a big one), so I had to say "Ew." And "Cookie". Up I went again, and peed 2 more times.

I love to pee on Elmo!

Mommy and I danced to celebrate. You might notice that we have the same haircut.

Cupcake face

2008-06-13T18:47:00.000-07:00

I have no idea what Mommy's after when she says "Show me a cupcake face," but I figure this works out well enough.

The Name of the Game

2008-06-12T18:48:00.000-07:00

Some people play Chicken. Some people play Horse. I like to play Crayon. I just made this one up tonight.

The Greatest Show on Earth

2008-06-08T19:05:00.000-07:00

Well, not really. We went to the Big Apple Circus today and Mommy thought it was way better than Ringling, but I was feeling kind of WILD. Mommy didn't take any pictures because all I did was thrash around for 2 hours. But Sydney is hilarious.

Sydney and her Mommy and Daddy came over for dinner later. I learned that I don't like beer and I do like gyros.

Brand new Sauconys, $45 plus tax, day 8.

2008-06-01T18:04:00.001-07:00

I can eat fucking ladybugs if I want to!

2008-05-27T18:51:00.000-07:00

So here's my family's dirty little secret: I say "fuck you". Mommy and Daddy don't like it very much and it's not really their fault because I only heard it from them ONCE a long time ago. It's just that I'm so smart. I really can't help that.

Anyway, today Mommy pulled a ladybug out of my mouth and told me not to eat it. So I said "Fuck you, Mommy," and walked out of the room. Colleen thought it was crazy and Mommy wasn't happy, but there it is.

Hopefully G.G. won't feel too bad that it's just her.

Anyway, I'm at least hitting my developmental milestone of using multiple-word sentences. See? Genius.

Life's a Beach

2008-05-27T18:43:00.001-07:00

Happy Memorial Day! I spent yesterday at the beach with Mommy, Daddy, Sydney and her Mommy and Daddy.

There's a playground right near the beach - I love playgrounds - so I had to get a quick slide in before we hit the sand.

Then it was time to DIG!

Mommy and I went to the edge of the water to dip our tootses in...that water was FREEZING! I don't get how the Polar Bears do it.

Then I tried to bury Mommy in the sand.

I took Daddy down to the water and I didn't want to leave!

Sydney and her Daddy came, too.

Here's where Sydney and I tried to get a rollicking game of beach tennis going.

More digging.

And beach boobs.

I love Memorial Day.

My big pony

2008-05-25T18:34:00.000-07:00

I went horseback riding yesterday! I was supposed to have a pony ride, but the ponies were all busy. So I got to ride an enormous horse named Pie.

Here's Daddy and I roaming around the stables waiting for my turn. It sort of took forever.

Here's me petting Pie. I'm thinking "You mean I'm really going to ride on top of this thing??"

I guess I am!

And it was SO fun.

I had to stop the ride early because I just wanted to pet Pie. Horses are nice.

I got a basketball jooooones

2008-05-25T18:27:00.000-07:00

I got a basketball jones
I got a basketball jones oh baby ooooooh...

Fla-vor-ice and a bath - so nice!

2008-05-19T18:33:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day!

2008-05-19T18:26:00.001-07:00

Just want you wanted, right, Mommy? An evening in Urgent Care for a 104.5 fever that wouldn't break for 5 whole days??

Things were much cuter that same morning, huh?

I tried to have a nice day with everybody here for brunch; I just didn't feel so good.

'ello, my name is Sam

2008-05-04T17:43:00.000-07:00

And I like to do draWINGS!

Moms Just Want To Have Fun

2008-05-03T18:16:00.000-07:00

My Mommy LOVES the 80s and so does her friend Mary (Sydney's Mommy), so we all got to go to a New Wave 80s dance party today! OMG, it was like so totally fun. Fer sure.

Sydney, fashionable as always.

I took a few minutes to adjust to the flashback, but got into the spirit by carrying around these OJ letters for a while.

Mommy wearing delicious jewels.

I think it was a different tunnel that was big in the 80s, but Sydney's a good sport.

A little freaked out by the parachute (why do grownups think we think these things are so cool?).

No kissing on the dance floor, Mom!

My family.

Should I try it? Hmmmm.

Cutting up the rug with my best girl.

Sydney.

I love to spiiiiiiiiiiin!

Daddy is crafty.

My social calendar

2008-05-03T18:02:00.000-07:00

My cousins came to visit me last week and we had a great time! I love them so much. They're the coolest.

We all went swimming at their hotel. Mommy's camera got a little steamy.

Then I got to go to Sydney's little party! We had SO much fun riding her toys and eating (or wearing) pizza.

Whatchoo Talkin' Bout, Daddy?

2008-04-28T19:28:00.001-07:00

Hey, Hoss!

2008-04-20T18:11:00.000-07:00

Hoping things are sprightly at your ranch, too!

A Day In The Life

2008-04-19T10:08:00.001-07:00

I like to read my cereal box when I'm snacking and shopping catalogs.

Then it's nice to eat Daddy's breakfast while I read the paper.

After getting dressed and making the bed (see last post), I like to catch a ride on my private rollercoaster.

Then I hunt for wildlife.

I like to take my ATV for a spin and run over Mommy.

More wildlife hunting, but I really don't like to get my hands dirty.

Men About the House

2008-04-18T18:59:00.000-07:00

What's that, Daddy? You need help making the bed?

I would be happy to help. Luckily, I travel with my own lint brush.

Want to do the windows next?

Digga Digga Dee

2008-04-18T18:57:00.000-07:00

Just one of the things I like to say.

I am an adventerous eater

2008-04-12T10:34:00.000-07:00

Mommy wanted me to try peanut butter but I wasn't really having it.

Mommy says that Amy would kill somebody to come lick it off my face. Get me a canoli and we'll talk.

Hot Dog!

2008-04-07T18:40:00.000-07:00

Another coming of age passage for me - I got to eat my first hot dog. Mommy and Daddy don't know much as it turns out - I'm the only one who knows that hot dogs taste better when consumed sideways.

I thought it was delicious.

Saturday Night Fever

2008-04-07T18:37:00.001-07:00

Sydney came over for dinner on Saturday and I tried to impress her with my smooth moves.

Here's where I show her my tough guy face and she swoons.

By the end of the night, she had me drinking out of the palm of her hand.

Dames.

Late Night with Sam Saldarelli

2008-04-07T18:33:00.000-07:00

My new yellow table makes me look like a talk show host.

Mommy is teaching me about charisma so I can shop my reel to the majors.

Mommy forgot about Easter!

2008-04-07T18:30:00.001-07:00

Oops! We had a lot of fun, though. Take a look!

The Peep got it in the end.

I think Mommy is delicious

2008-04-07T18:21:00.000-07:00

But that makes her sad.

I love boobs

2008-03-24T19:28:00.000-07:00

Some new tricks I'm working on

2008-03-17T18:42:00.001-07:00

Not the best performances on camera here, but I'm still rehearsing.

The Greatest Show on Earth!

2008-03-17T18:26:00.001-07:00

I had such a great day on Saturday! Mommy, Daddy and I went to the circus and it was SO much fun! First, Mommy wore me through the parking lot and I LOVED that - I can't wait for my new carrier to come so we can do it all the time!

Mommy and Daddy tried to sell me to the circus. Ha ha ha.

Uncle and Rachel were there, too. I spent the whole day saying "Uncle! Uncle!" I love Dave so much.

Mommy didn't take any pictures during the circus because she was too busy crying. We had the BEST seats in the entire place! I couldn't take my eyes off of all the great stuff and I sat in Mommy's lap like a big boy. We saw elephants, acrobats, tigers, dogs, a porcupine, motorcycles, clowns - it was the best!!!

Happy Birthday, Max!

2008-03-09T18:16:00.000-07:00

I had 2 great weekends in a row with Grandma and Michael! They came to visit me last weekend and we had a great time playing. This is the only good picture I got that weekend, though; it's of Michael and I playing and I have a big smooch from Grandma on my face!

This weekend we went to Massachusetts for my big cousin Max's 8th birthday party. It was raining like CRAZY on the drive up, so when the hard rain woke me up, Daddy played the window game with me to keep me happy. It was really funny!

When we got to Max's skating party, Mommy took a video of Max because he's really good at it.

Here's Michael and I watching Max skate.

And the birthday boy!

Michael, Evan and me:

Max's party was so fun! Here are pictures of me and my cousins. And me and Michael and cake (I loved to say "more cake!").

Silly Rabbit

2008-02-25T19:25:00.000-08:00

Sledding in a winter wonderland

2008-02-25T18:45:00.000-08:00

It snowed on Friday - WOW! Everybody decided that it would be fun to go sledding on Saturday morning.

Here I am with my Uncle David.

Wheeee!

Where's the hot cocoa?

The Little Chill

2008-02-17T18:04:00.000-08:00

I spent a lot of today doing my new favorite thing: hanging out in the refrigerator.

I am the original COOL.

A Saturday Adventure

2008-02-09T20:08:00.001-08:00

I had a great day today! I spent the morning at Grandma and Baba's. Daddy, Uncle David, Baba and I went to the mall and that was SO FUN. Then I came home and Mommy changed my diaper, but look at how crazy she put my pants on.

Then the mailman came and I had a Valentine's Day package from Grandma and Michael! I loved everything - the ducks that say "quack quack quack" and the puppy that gives me a kiss (Mommy says it's called a devil, but I call it a puppy) and the book and the candy - wow!! See how cool it is to get a package in the mail?

So I decided that I wouldn't take a nap, so we all got into the car and I napped there (ha ha). When I woke up, we were in Williamsburg and we had a nice walk around for a bit. Then Mommy and I went to MAMALU and I had a great time running around playing with all of the balls and cool stuff!

It was really fun and Mommy thought I was such a big boy until my new friend Em hugged me and fell down on top of me. I started crying and just wanted boobs.

So then Daddy picked us up and we went out to eat at BONITA. I had corn and the steak from 2.5 whole tacos!! And then I had a cookie. Oh, and orange juice. Mommy and Daddy were really happy with how nicely I ate dinner. Here's Daddy and me at the table.

Then we drove home and I had a little nap in the car. Then a bath and then it took me 2 hours to go to sleep. What a great day!

Mommy hasn't had much to post lately because I'm going through phase of just not looking at the camera. She's still trying, though! Here are recent moments of cute, starring me.

Daddy thought I'd like splashing around with my feet tonight. I did!

And Mommy and I had a nice dance the other night. I have smooth moves.

We tried!

Mommy was taking photos of me tonight and look what I did out of nowhere:

I was SO EXCITED!!!!!

Mommy's a little nervous, though.

Hair. Ceasar.

2008-01-08T20:02:00.000-08:00

I had so much fun visiting Grandma and Michael this weekend! I don't have a lot of pictures, but here are a few:

Helping Mommy enjoy her delicious birthday cake!

Michael makes me laugh:

I LOVE Grandma's ceiling fan!

Micheal is silly when he reads without his glasses.

Back at the homestead, we had a delicious dinner of pizza and salad last night. I'd never had salad before, but loved to lick the serving spoon and even enjoyed a few bites of lettuce! I really get into my food and had to accessorize while dining.

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

2008-01-02T18:56:00.000-08:00

Here's what Grandma and I worked on for Mommy's birthday:

She was SO happy when she came home - she says it's the best present she's ever gotten. I also gave her a card and a fancy sleep mask, though.

I had a great time this week while Mommy was off from work. Here I am in my Ali G suit playing with my New Year's balloon:

And my cousins gave me the coolest toy for Hannukah! I loved it so much that I tried to climb back into the bath 3 times last night after I was done:

I can't wait to see them this weekend!

Nevermind Mama's drawers.

2007-12-29T20:30:00.000-08:00

It's just that I'm so cute!

Jamming.

Kissing. Cousins.

2007-12-29T11:04:00.000-08:00

So my big cousins Max and Evan came to visit me this week and it was so much FUN!! I was very sad that they didn't feel well, so we didn't get to spend a lot of time together, but I love them anyway.

Here we are with Julie. She's my aunt.

I love the Cookie Monster doll that Uncle David bought me. I brought it to Grandma and Baba's house today. Here I am in my PJs, all ready to go!

Mommy loves that I give her lots of kisses lately, so Daddy took a video of us having a nice one.

A little of this, a little of that.

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-25T19:47:00.000-08:00

Wow! What a day!

Santa came to our house and left us stockings filled with treats and lots and lots of presents!!!

My favorite things were the Puffs in my stocking and my new microphone and drum. Grandma and Baba also gave me a really cool cube with tons of beads and spinning blocks on it.

Santa didn't leave us Miss Pickles, but I just thought she was so cute under the tree.

See all the presents?!

Enjoying our stockings.

And now, presents!

The beginnings of the Saldarelli family band.

Family Christmas photo 2007!

Then I needed to relax with a book and some boobs.

Off to Grandma and Baba's to feast!

We had so much fun at Grandma's and then we went to Uncle Larry's and I was WILD. It took Mommy almost an hour and a half to get me to bed tonight - I stayed up almost until 11!

I love Christmas.

Don't Feed The Animals!

2007-12-23T18:33:00.001-08:00

Mommy made red and green Rice Krispie treats tonight for Christmas Eve tomorrow. I LOVE them, but she thinks that they look like a pack of O-Cello sponges. I love eating them, but they're so sticky!

Earlier that evening...I decided to wear my wolf hat. And make mischief of one kind. Or another.

I'm also enjoying perfecting my fish face.

My new haircut suits me, don'tcha think?

Too cute for words

Thanks, Grandma!!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

2007-12-16T11:12:00.000-08:00

I love Christmakkuh.

This weekend I showed Mommy and Daddy what a big boy I am by eating on my very own. Today I had macaroni and cheese with my very own fork. Yesterday I had applesauce. Mommy has been trying to upload a video for 3 days and gives up. I'm sure I'll post something better soon.

Anyway, I was really sad that I couldn't go to my cousin's birthday party. So Mommy, Daddy and I went to Sydney's house to have latkes and Hanukkah presents.

Isn't she pretty?

She's funny, too.

Christmas is coming, the boof is getting fat

2007-12-09T19:26:00.001-08:00

Mommy made Toll House cookies to celebrate decorating our Christmas tree! I've never had chocolate before and it was pretty good!

Do these pants make me look fat?

Cookie cuddles

I helped Mommy put our new ornament on the tree.

After dinner, I did a little running around in my HAT and PJs. Mommy wanted me to look at the camera, but I didn't!

But I got the giggles eventually.

All Good Things

2007-12-08T19:59:00.001-08:00

Well, today was a fun one! First off, I met Santa AND the Grinch! I didn't know they hung out together. I really loved the candy cane that Santa gave me and I LOVE talking to him. I wasn't that interested in sitting on his lap as you can see, but walking around him and stopping to tell him a few things was terrific. I also enjoyed waving at him and giving him a five.

Here's where I'm telling Santa that he did an excellent job decorating the tree and that I really love the lights.

Who IS this guy?

THEN we went to McDonald's and I got my very first Happy Meal!! I surprised Mommy and Daddy by eating a LOT of fries. They've tried to get me to like fries a bunch of times, but I never have. I didn't really eat much of my cheesburger, though; Mommy spent a LOOONG time tricking me into eating little bites.

Here's where I made up a new funny game where I take a BIIIIG drink of water and then let it spill out of my mouth. Mommy thought that it was funny at lunch, but when I did it with my yogurt drink after dinner, it wasn't as funny to her.

I got my hair cut again today and had a 3 hour nap. We ate out at the BBQ place and had Hanukkah. Now, THAT's a good day.

Night 2: The Return of Hanukkah

2007-12-05T18:41:00.000-08:00

Night number 2! I wore my new Santa hat for Hanukkah tonight.

My present tonight was a Jack in the Box that plays the Dreidel song!! Mommy calls it a Yiddle in the Box.

I like the guy that pops up after the song is over. He is wearing a HAT.

I didn't eat much dinner tonight, but afterward, Mommy and I took some cute pictures.

Mommy says the best part of her day today is when we were all in bed this morning and I was kissing her on the lips, saying "MMMWWWAH!" She's silly.

Chappy Chanukkah!

2007-12-04T19:05:00.000-08:00

Grandma and Michael came to visit me today!! I said one of my catchphrases "Ah ah ee" and laughed and Michael did it, too, and it was SO FUNNY! It was so great to play and play with Grandma and Michael.

Then G.G. came over and I couldn't get enough of her. When Daddy came home we lit the candles for the first night of Hanukkah.

Then we had lots and lots of presents! Mommy and Daddy gave me a Chanukah bugs book - it was GREAT. And Grandma and Michael gave me a really cool shopping cart and groceries and a toolbench and a sweater and a book and lots of great stuff!

Then we went out to dinner and I loved Daddy's meatloaf until Mommy fed me some with spicy barbeque sauce on top. That tasted hurty and I cried a little and stuffed my hands in my mouth to stop the burning. Ow.

Happy Hanukkah!
