Good times in January

I have a really good feeling that 2012 is going to be my best year yet. It was a big month for me. Mom started back at work three days a week. I get to hang out with my good friends Gabriela and Molly while she's at school.

Molly has been a really good role model for me -- she has lots of worldly experience since she's a whole five months older than me! We have a really good time together. She shares her toys and holds my hand when we go for walks and pats me on the back when I'm sad. I'll make sure to share some pictures of us next time around.

In the meantime, here are some more photos:

Uncle Rico!!

The only thing that can make this video better is that is was filmed at the Ranch.  I've asked Rico to help me with my workout to build my lats.

My First Time at the Pool!

The JCC near our house is really fun.  I got to see lots of other kids playing in the water.  And there's a really fun water slide that Mom says I can't go on yet (Dad told her not to worry, but you know...).  All that matters is that I had the cutest bathing suit out there.  And some day, when I'm a little more modest, I will be none too pleased with my parents for posting these photos on the internet.  Oh wait, I'm posting them on the internet...

The cutest Grand Wizard ever

Uh, we're not going to keep this one...

Happy New Year!

After an amazing time with my family in OC, we traveled east to Maryland, mostly so that I could wear this outfit:

I know that I haven't been "blogging" so much as posting a bunch of photos.  But I figure that's what you'd all rather read anyway.  At some point I'll write a bunch about what life has been like.  The bottom line is that I'm doing great and learning new things every day.  These days I've started smiling a lot throughout the day ('cause life is good), reaching for things (because most things belong in my mouth anyhow), and starting to roll over (look out!).

A big highlight of this trip was the "Sip and See" party with my new friend Keegan.  Keegan's dad, Patrick, has been best friends with my dad since they were four years old.  You can check out some photos from the party and the rest of the trip here:
