Rubber Duckie, you're the one.

Here's me in the tub. It's tasteful though - because my big belly is hiding my privates. I'm too big for the kitchen sink now, so I am in the grown up tub.

We had a good weekend. I got to see my cousin Micky again! I'll get those photos up soon, I promise.

Busy week - Mommy has her Tech Offsite and we're staying in the city. Maybe I'll get to meet my Dallas fan base....Laine and Lindsay - hope to see you at the Westin!

Naomi Matisse

That's right, my first masterpiece. We already got a $10k offer for it from Melissa Fletcher. But mama said no way - and it's hanging on our fridge.

So here I am eating - again. I've got some chicken and cheese. I'm sort of a human garbage can...at daycare they give me what the other kids cant finish.

Also - I know how to clap now. I just havent figured out WHEN to clap. Like this morning, I was hysterical crying and clapping my hands. Mom told me I was doing it all wrong.

Can You Believe This?

There's a new baby in town. This is my cutie cousin Micky with his Mommy, Aunt Beth-Anne. I am no longer the COA (center of attention). But that's okay...when nobody is looking, I'll just eat him.

So yea - I love to eat. Really. I tried more stuff this weekend. I do NOT like grapefruit. That's for shit sure. But I was sort of digging the cheesecake at Marisa's house. We went to visit Mommy's friend from elementary school. They havent seen each other in like 15 years. Marisa has a pretty baby named Adriana. She is a bit older than me and she showed me her books and her toys. She ate my food too. They have a big dog named Max who licked my face.

My new trick of the week...I can get into sitting position from my tummy. I am very proud of that move. I look around to seek out approval.

I Am What I Am.

I have off from school for Columbus Day - but Mom & Dad have to work. I will be going to Grandma & Grandpa's tonight for a sleepover! My parents are going to go to Plum Bush tonight without me :(

Speaking of restaurants - I have been eating like crazy. Anything you put in front of me. I ate fistfuls of spinach yesterday. Just like Popeye - I'm going to be big and strong so I can run marathons with Mommy. Of course my spinach was saturated with garlic and olive oil (check it out another Popeye reference). I also had plums, cheese, pizza crust, french fries, corn, asparagus, and a bagel.

Keep on Moving, Don't Stop.

I am mobile!! And wow is it exciting. Do not even try to pick me up - I want to move around on my own now. Imagine Mom's suprise when she left the basement door open on Saturday morning. When she came back upstairs, my little head was peering down the stairs. Um, Mom, want to be more careful please?

I got to see my boyfriend Caden on Saturday. He was showing off on his slide. But I was too busy eating the pretty orange leaves.

And I saw Tara & Jason last night. I havent seen them since we went on vacation and that was a whole month ago. They didnt have Milo with them though. I miss Milo.

Okay - I am trying to get video of me scooching around the floor (we cant call it crawling just yet). But I need Mommy or Daddy to get off their lazy asses and download it from camera to computer. I havent mastered the software yet.

Box Blockers Ruin Everything

Oh PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Mr. Bloomberg - Implement the fee to drive into the city I'll go into my piggy bank to pay for it myself!

I guess everyone is back from summer vacation because our commute has been HELL this week. It took Mommy and me three hours to get home from work on Wednesday! I cried my eyes out for the last hour. It was awesome.

We are trying to get a short term sublet in the city...who knew it would be sofa king hard. We lost the first one because Mommy told the lady about me. The lady didnt want any babies in her apartment. My first run-in with discrimination! We didnt get the second apartment because it turned into a bidding war. Who knows how long this is going to take.

So I went to the doctor's yesterday. No shots this time! I am a whopping 20 pounds, 10 ounces. Dont mess with me.

The Candy Man Can...

This is Mommy & Me at Dockside Pub in Mahopac. We went on Sunday afternoon during our quest for a playground. We could not find one with swings for me. But we were the only ones at the restaurant and the piano man played songs for me - which was a great break from the Jimmy Buffett set he had going on.

We also went to Alex's birthday party. He's five now. There was a clown at the party. I've had enough clowns this year.

Saturday is Yom Kippur. I wonder if Mommy's going to make me fast. I dont know how much sinnin' I've done. Not sure what I am repenting for. I've got to figure this religion out.
