My First International Trip (Part 1)

I had my passport, a suitcase full of diapers, and a great attitude ready to go. Yes, my crazy parents decided to start my traveling early. They thought 4 months would be old enough to head to Argentina and Uruguay... and they were right. We had a ball! The plane ride down was really fun. There were plenty of people to meet and sensations to experience. I decided it would be best not to make any noises, so that I could best take in all that I could. Here are 2 pictures and a video before and after the flight. The first 2 we are at SFO and in the third, mom and I are waiting for our bags in Buenos Aires.

Mom and Dad thought Buenos Aires had many European influences in the architecture, people and food. We spent many many hours walking the city and exploring. I got to ride in the baby carrier the whole time, which was fun. I just leaned my head out and stared at all of the lights and faces passing by. Here are some of the sights of Buenos Aires:

Then, when I was tired, I just tucked my head in and slept. Here we are, on an ice cream break... The first night, I was very tired from all of the travel and walking around. I decided to sleep through mom and dad's first dinner. If you can believe it, I am on my mom's lap below! She is enjoying some Argentinian tenderloin and wine in peace.

The next day was beautiful and sunny. Can't forget the sun protection no matter what season it is...

During the trip, I started teething. Good thing mom went to the store and got me Sofie the Giraffe. We were at the gorgeous Recoleta Cemetery and all I could think about was chewing on poor Sofie's head!

Stay tuned for more...

Travels

Sorry, I haven´t checked in for the last couple of weeks. I am in ARGENTINA! Mom and dad took me down here on July 15th and we will all be returning on August 1st. We are having a great time. The argentinians are very friendly and like to coo over me everywhere we go. I hope to update the blog with pictures and more stories when I return. Ciao!

4th of July

Happy Anniversary to Grandma and Grandpa!

Quite Verbal

I have decided that there are many things to say. There is just too much going on in the world to not speak up! Here I am with daddy, telling him about my latest discovery.

Grandma Kathy's Birthday

On June 28th, the family celebrated Grandma Kathy's birthday in Healdsburg. Aunt Sheila made yummy bison burgers and a cobbler, which I couldn't have, but everyone else seemed to enjoy. It was a hot night, so I spent most of the time in my diaper. Nobody seemed to mind.

I DID IT!

Last Saturday, June 27th, I rolled over for the first time. Mom and Dad knew I would do it soon, because I had gotten close on many occasions. However, I waited until I got up to the grandparents' house in Middletown to do it. Mom was holding baby Keller in the other room and came to check on me. When she got to the play pen, she saw me laying on my back! (I am normally a belly sleeper) You can tell from my picture, that I was a little surprised... I kept trying to repeat my triumphant performance throughout the day, but I was unable to do so.

Here are some pictures of my trying to roll again...

And, a shot with Aunt April after a tiring day...

Lovin' my play mat

For awhile now, I have loved laying on my play mat. A couple of weeks ago though, the attachment that lights up and sings to me broke! For over a week, I did not want to be on the mat without it. However, after a small break, I can barely remember what that piece sounded or looked like. I am having way more fun grabbing and batting at the toys above my head. Who needs all that technology to keep me entertained.
