First Fridays on Abbott Kinney

On Friday night, we walked over to Abbott Kinney for the First Friday festivities. On my way, I was admiring a black balloon and someone cut it off and gave it to me...

At Tales and Toys, a toy store on Abbott Kinney, they had a story teller who also sang some music. Here I am holding one of the store's babies and listening to the story... I met another little girl, Quinn and her Mommy. Quinn was born on August 30th!

I LOVED strolling the baby in the stroller. A stroller is now on my wish list. I almost wouldn't leave the store without it!

And, here are Lisa, Zoe and Michael, our neighbors, who joined us for the festivities! We went to Three Square Bakery for dinner and I had so much fun playing with Zoe.

Happy Birthday to Mommy (2 days late)

My Twin was in Target

Hangin' with My Pepa (from earlier this week)

Shopping at Target...

Watching Elmo...

Eating Pasta Fagioli with a BIG spoon

I refused the teaspoon or the baby spoon, only wanting to eat my soup with the SOUP spoon. Isn't that what I am supposed to do?

In the end, I couldn't really get much of the soup in my mouth with the soup spoon. My hands were a great fall back.

And, then, well, playing with my food is always fun.

Some Thanksgiving Videos

First, a video from the Fountains in Orlando. Every time the fountains came on, I went running to Mama saying "Mama, Mama".

Then, I was showing how much I like blueberries, not willing to share even ONE with Grandpa

Swimming with Mama!

Videos from Playing with Nyla

Here are some recent videos of me playing with Nyla. The first two show that I know how to call Nyla by her name:

Then, we show our teamwork in emptying the medicine cabinet, pushing the stroller and stacking the circles:

I like shoe shopping

Today, we went shoe shopping and I noticed a really cute girl in the mirror when I was trying on my shoes. Soon, my name will be Imelda (Mommy tells me).

Beach ... again!

Riding The Carousel

On Saturday, we went to ride the carousel!! We also went sliding...

And played the chimes...

But, as much fun as I had on the carousel, when we went to Barnes and Noble on Saturday night, I had just as much fun riding up and down the escalators! If you haven't tried it, you should....and they are free!

Deerfield Beach

We went to lunch at the Whaler's Rib in Deerfield Beach with a BIG crowd. I was a bit tired so didn't eat my usual share. I perked up after lunch when we went to the beach, though.

With my cousin, Stephanie...my new BFF

And, with my Mema on the beach bench...."Life is Like A Box of Chocolates"....or even better, a set of keys and another purse!

Reaching out to Uncle Ron...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for so many things. I am not sure if I have the time or words to express them. We had a nice, quiet day. Mommy took me swimming in the pool and I was able to walk right in. As you can tell from the pictures, it was a LOT of fun!

My first Thankgiving meal with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Steven and Cousins Alex and Zack....I liked the spinach the best!

Dinner with Daddy's Business Partner

While in Orlando, we went to Daddy's business partner's house (Dean and his wife, Jennifer). They had two playmates for me and I learned how to play the piano!

Shopping...

In Orlando, we went to the outlet mall two times. I didn't do too much buying. I was too busy playing with Mommy's purse and wallet...

Mommy bought me some cool Crocs with a pink diamond :)

Elmo was at the mall and we rode in a car together.

While at Neiman's, I tried to get Mommy to buy me a new stuffed dog or two.

I Love...

Sand... Dirt...

Grandma...

and Mommy's Isabel Fiore purse. I have great taste in the things I love.

Thanksgiving in Florida!

I came to Florida to celebrate the Thanksgiving week with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Steve, my cousins (Zack, Alex and Stephanie), Mema, Pepa and Aunt Barbara and Uncle Ron. We are staying in Orlando until we go down to Mema and Pepa's house on Friday. So far, we have....

Gone to the Farmers' Market and listened to some music and danced.

Slid down a few slides

Put Mommy's sling on in various positions. It is my new binky. Makes me feel good.

Watched the fountains in Celebration....and every time they started shooting up, I ran to Mommy "Mama, Mama".
