My new friends

To celebrate the 4th of July holiday we spent the weekend at my new friends´place in Cape Cod.



This is my friend Law. He is a big boy, and we have fun together.


This is Law´s dad, James. He is very cool, and can sail anything, boats, surfboards... He washed the salt off me after my first sea bath.


This is Law´s mom, Natalie. She´s very sweet, I like when she holds me. She is expecting a baby girl to be Law's little sister.

Ode to Uncle Ben

Last night we had a wonderful visit by our friends Jim and Mich who were here from the Netherlands. Jim is a friend of Uncle Ben's from his college days at Harvard.


Clearly, my uncle was on my mind when I stole the pork chop off of my father's plate in a tribute to the stories of Ben gumming lamb chops when he was my age!

Full House (minus one)

Some of my California family are here visiting this week. Grandma Judy, Grandpa Don, Uncle Ben and Cousin Naomi all came to see me and to keep us company while Dad is in Vienna. We had lots of fun but missed him. Especially since it was Father's Day yesterday! Luckily we had two wonderful fathers available to celebrate with.

My Second Trip to Los Angeles

Last weekend I took my second trip to LA. This time I went for my cousin Naomi's Bat Mitzvah. She was a total glamor girl!!!


After the party I stayed at Grandma and Granpa's house where I played with Ben, Owen, and Josh.


Ryan read to me.

Doctor says, "So far so good!"

Yesterday we went for my 4 month pediatrician visit. Apparently I am a happy, healthy baby, weighing 12 lbs 12 oz (5.7 kg). I am 24" (70 cm) long and my head is 17 1/4" (44 cm) in circumference. I received a few vaccines - 2 shots and a sweet drink, and I barely cried at all. Dad forced Mom not to look, which was a good idea. Yesterday I felt a little sickish in the afternoon, but still managed to crack some smiles and play a little bit. I also started napping in my crib instead of in the swing. It works out well because when I wake up I am not stiff AND I have toys to play with. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the BEST news from the pediatrician. . . . I get to start eating solid food!!!! Stay tuned for THAT adventure. . .

What a Face!
