This morning, I ate finger foods for the first time ALL by myself....banana....yummy.

This week, Nanny G introduced me to carrots. She made them for me and then let me feed myself. Here's a video of the fun we had!
We are still celebrating Daddy's birthday. Last night, Julie and Steven took us out to Giovanni's. I had some bread and everyone else had some version of pasta.
Here I am hanging out with Julie. Thanks, Steven and Julie for a very fun evening!
Can you believe how big I am? I am 27 inches and 16 lbs 15 oz !! Still 70th percentile for weight and 85th percentile for height. And, I think Dr. H said that I was 90th something percentile for head circumference. Mommy always tells me I am smart, but now it is a fact. Below are some of my other weigh-ins for comparison. I am a BIG girl!
Today is Grandma and Grandpa's 45th anniversary. I'm not sure what that means exactly, but Mommy says it is a very LONG time. I know when I was in Mommy's tummy, Mema and Pepa had their 50th anniversary, but I couldn't make it because Mommy was nervous about flying at that time. Little did everyone know that I would take forever to come out and I was in no way going to make an appearance in July!
Back to Grandma and Grandpa....I really admire that they have been married for so long. When I called this morning, Grandpa was out getting carrots so that Grandma could make carrot cake waffles for breakfast. Sounds yummy. I hope someone will make some for me some day! I hope Grandma and Grandpa have a wonderful day celebrating each other.
I LOVE my Daddy. He takes care of me, takes me for walks, makes me delicious food (see me eating my squash prepared by Daddy below), sings to me, giggles with me....basically, I have the coolest Dad ever. Today is his birthday and we had a great day. First, we went to breakfast with Grandma before taking her to the airport. Then, I took Mommy for a drive in my car (see my slideshow for the photo). After I took an almost THREE hour nap, we went to the beach for sunset and Mommy and Daddy had tea afterward. Overall, it was a great day (except that Grandma had to go home). I think Mommy said that Grandma and Grandpa and Mema and Pepa are going to come visit again soon. I can't wait!
I spent today with Daddy and Grandma. First, Daddy had to get his haircut, so Grandma walked me around Santa Monica and when Daddy was done (and looking quite handsome), we went to lunch at Marcel's. In the afternoon, we took a long walk and just as we were walking down Abbot Kinney, Mommy called. She was coming home a little early so we met her for a coffee (Grandma and me at the coffee shop below).
For dinner, we had a pre-birthday celebration for Daddy at La Botte. In between counting sheep, I heard a lot of chatter in some language (I think it was English, but it could have been Italian....or maybe English with an Italian accent?).
I have TWO teeth!! I got them when we were in Florida....just in time to start eating solids! Maybe you can see in this picture that I am a drooling maniac. Today, we went to the Duck Park and I went on both the slide and the swing. We also went to Spanish storytime and Grandma learned a few Spanish words. Daddy came home tonight! I was wearing a t-shirt that said "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" all day but he didn't see me in it because I was asleep by the time he arrived.
P.S. Irene -- sorry it took me so long to put up a picture of Grandma and me, but my photographers weren't cooperating!
My friends, Julie and Steven, came by to visit late this afternoon. I'm not sure what Julie was doing while I was a busy girl on my exersaucer (see my slide show because I can't seem to upload it here), but I am really glad they came by.
Today, Grandma, Mommy and I went to a really fun class (called "Outside the Box") at someone's home in Santa Monica. There were 3 other babies there and 2 of them were 5 and 8 days older than me! We sang itsy bitsy spider, played with maracas, flew in a parachute, got massages and more. It was really fun. Grandma took these pictures of me. I fell asleep right away when we got in the car.
Today was the last day of my visit to Mema and Pepa in Boca. Here is a picture of everyone (except Mommy) at breakfast at Mema's and Pepa's place.
Mommy and Daddy took me for a long stroll before breakfast and took more pictures of me in front of flowers (check out my slideshow). We ate lunch at our favorite seafood place, went to the flea market and then off to the airport. I was sad to have to leave Mema and Pepa behind.
Today was another fun day here in Boca. First, Mommy, Daddy and Pepa took me to the swing in the morning. Then, we went to visit one of Mema and Pepa's friends briefly (that was where Mommy took a picture of me upside down)....then, we took a nice long walk around the lakes and golf course.
This afternoon, we went to the pool. I am really not supposed to go in because only kiddos who are toilet trained are allowed. Daddy put me in anyway. You know how he doesn't play by the rules.
At 4 1/2 months old, I was sitting up unassisted.....and today, Daddy had me take a walk and got me on video. Okay, so he is helping me along a little, but I think I am going to walk VERY soon. Watch out!
We went the Sprout website tonight and much to our surprise, I am featured 4 times !! Here's the link! See if you can find me.

Mommy just received the photo they want to use from the Sprout photo shoot. Funny, no one has told me that my back side is my best part (yet)....I am usually known for my smile. Maybe it's good because in LA, you always want to operate undercover. Now, no one will know who I am but I can still collect my royalties!
After breakfast, Mommy and Daddy took me to Loehmann's and then to H&M in the Beverly Center. Mommy tells me that H&M is supposed to be hip and cool, but honestly, if you look at my outfit on the right, you would think that I am getting ready for Century Village when we go to Boca to visit Mema and Pepa next weekend. Century Village, here I come!
Thank god it's Friday.
I had a great week but this is a 3 day weekend and we have lots of fun stuff planned.
Tonight my BFF Peri is coming over for dinner and she is bringing me a new brand of baby food that she wants me to test for the company that makes it. I hope it is as good as the food my dad makes me.
I asked Mom and Dad to take me shopping for a new car seat this weekend since I will soon be too big for my infant seat. I think I want it soon so I can put the new car seat in Nanny G's car. That way she can take me to the library during the week any time I want to go.
Also my friend Kent is coming into town again this weekend. He is taking Tango lessons to prepare for an upcoming trip to Buenos Aires. It would be fun to go with him but I cannot go away for that long - Mom and Dad need me to help out here at home.
I think Dad will cook some stuff on the BBQ this weekend and maybe other friends will drop by because the weather here at the beach will be fantastic.
If I don't get a chance to talk to you over the weekend - Enjoy the Holiday
UPDATE from today....First, I need to thank my agent, Julie, for getting me this awesome gig. They LOVED me. I modeled two onesies and I think they got some great photos. We will post them once we receive them (in a week or so). We were told that they will probably invite me back for another shoot....maybe when their Fall line comes out? Can't wait!
Today, I am going to get my picture taken in clothing from http://www.sproutkidsclothing.com/. I have never modeled before, so I guess this is my debut. They will let me have the clothing I wear and the pictures! I guess if they come out well, I may appear on their website or maybe in print materials.
Here I am in a picture this week with Mystic. I am wearing my cool flamingo bib from my Aunt Donna, Uncle Tom and cousins.
Also, my Nanny G started a "Nanny Times" about the time we spend together. If you click on the link under my Slide Show, you will be able to see a picture of me, Nanny G, Camille and Mystic....
