Halloween Friday was a BIG and fun day. During the day, Nanny G took me for a play date with Baby Grace. I climbed and went down the slide many times. For the first time, Nanny G let me slide by myself, but what she didn't know is that I have been doing that for awhile with Mommy and Daddy. I shared a cookie with Grace and played very hard.

Before going out trick or treating, I had some dinner in my bumbo. Sometimes when I try to sit in it, I land like this. I didn't eat much because there was so much excitement about going out and I was worried about my girlish figure with all the candy I knew I was going to collect.

So, with all my worry about my figure, I started doing push-ups.

Auntie Peri arrived and we were just about ready to go out. She took a few pictures of me and Mommy while Daddy was cooking.

Taking a walk to my first house on Ocean Avenue...

First stop was at Don and Geri-Ann's house...

Problem was that I didn't recognize them and wanted to run away.

I wanted to go to Mama while Geri-Ann tried to compare wing size.

Next stop was Richard and Betty's house. Will (the dog) was dressed as a bunny.

and Gracie was dressed as a hotdog!

Then, we went to Dan's house!

Here is Mommy, me and Amy Winehouse (I mean Auntie Peri). Unfortunately, this is the only picture we got of all 3 of us. I think Auntie Peri might have some better pictures.

After 4 houses, we were tired, so we went to Mary's house for a little Trick or Treating, dinner and playing in the front yard.

Here I am with Mary, the Witch.

And, I loved greeting Trick or Treaters. If you can't tell, my feet are off the ground on the fence so I can give a proper greeting.

I even tried to pick up a little boy. I think he thought I was cute.

What a fun night!

Happy Halloween!

More pictures later :)

Happy Thursday!!

Beach at Dawn

This morning, Mommy took me to the beach early. Since we brought Camille, we decided not to go on the Venice Pier, but walked up the boardwalk. I brought my baby with me, too. It was a gorgeous morning.

Climbing

Earlier in the week, I was climbing at the park at Mother's Beach. Nanny G took me to play with a bunch of other kids who were there with their nannies.

This morning, I stopped by our new house after going with Mommy to the beach and started climbing ladders. Trouble!

Just Another Tuesday

Today, Daddy made me and Mommy a Caterpillar Omelette (takes after the concept of a Caterpillar Sushi Roll). Can you see his antennae? It was delicious!

Nanny G took me to the library today for Spanish storytime. We always have so much fun together.

Tonight, I was drinking my milk and lied down on the floor with my buddy, Mystic

My Twin

The first time I saw my twin in Hilton Head in November 2007

Dancing and Dinner with Saya

Tonight, I went to Saya's for dinner. On my way, we stopped to buy ice cream and I heard some music coming from Hinano's. I did a little sidewalk dance (see above video).

At Saya's, we had yummy chicken, homemade corn bread, beans and ice cream, strawberries and raspberries for dessert. I had fun playing with Saya and her toys (tricycle, scooter).

Farmers Market Sunday - Pony Rides and More...

This morning, Mommy and I went for what has become our weekend morning ritual...walking on the pier on Venice Beach. This morning, I brought my bubbles. If you listen VERY carefully to the video, you will hear me say "Bubbles".



I tried to chase the birds, just like Mystic and Camille, but they always fly away before I can touch them
After we got home, Daddy joined us and we went on our way to the Farmer's Market. We walked there (well, I strolled and was let out occasionally). Here is one occasion. I was walking near this beautiful mural and Mom got a few shots.

Then, I decided I needed to sit on every parking curb. I tried them all and it seems that they are all the same in terms of comfort.

We finally arrived at the Farmers Market and Daddy took me to wait in line for my very first pony ride. When I was first put on the pony, I didn't like it. I was scared, but once the ride started.....well, you can see my reaction for yourself in the video.

Here's another curb. They are perfectly sized for people with short legs. We also listened to some great music.

I got a very cool doggie on a balloon. I kept trying to bite it but luckily, it didn't pop!

This afternoon while Mommy was giving herself a pedicure, I stole the Q-tips...

One of my new tricks is to take Mystic and Camille's dog treats out of the pantry and to give them some. Here Camille has her whole head in the bag.

Before we went to Saya's for dinner (those photos to come at another time), we went to the Marina Waterside and did a lot of walking. I should sleep long tonight!

We stopped at the fountain and Mommy let me put my hand in....

....and my feet in.....aaaahhhh

Tile Shopping; Seaweed Salad; New Word

This morning, I was in the bathroom and was saying "Bubbles", while pointing to the bubbles Mommy uses so much (in tomorrow's entry, Mommy actually got the word on video). So, I might be up to 15 words? Starting to lose track.

Today, we went to the tile store to pick out the last few tiles we need for Mommy and Daddy's bathroom. While I was there, there were 2 boys (maybe age 6 and 10). I walked over to one boy and said "Hi" and then gave him a hug. A little while later, I did the same with the other boy. Mommy thinks I am going to be big trouble with the boys.

Tonight, for dinner, I tried a new food....seaweed salad. Yum!
