Standing in crib

Just now (and I mean just now!) I pulled to standing in my crib. Yeah! Why do Mommy and Daddy look so worried?


I'm on the floor now - cat food here I come!

Baby pullups (not diapers)

Daddy's song:
My froggy he am a queer bird
He ain't got no tail almost hardly
When him run when him jump
When him jump him fall down
No he ain't got no tail almost hardly.




Daddy tried to hide my froggy, but I still got him!
I've pulled myself up on the ottoman and on the dishwasher, and before I fall over someone rushes over and catches me - yay, let's do it again!

P.S. I crawl on my hands and knees really well now and faster everyday.

It's true

Dec 5: screaming boy

Hi all, I'm writing this post for Finn today.

He has learned how to make a mirror-breaking, tooth-aching, high-pitched scream! Geoff is convinced that this was going to happen as he himself was capable of such blood-curdling shrieks. Until further notice, we are wearing earplugs :)

Nov 27: Grand Prix

This was taken at Kine's going away party at Malibu Grand Prix.

We played mini-golf (Daddy won!!) and raced cars around (not me :(


Tante Mikki went fast (Daddy went faster!) Mommy went so fast she lost control and hit the curb. Daddy says she "got some air" and thinks it was cool. Mommy says it's not nice to drive so recklessly. I want to drive like Daddy when I get older - he says that it's more fun... Uh-oh, here comes mommy - bye!

Dec 1: face fall

After swim class on Saturday, I jumped out of Daddy's arms and landed flat on the parking lot of Marshall's. :(

What a surprise! After coming to believe the world is a safe and loving place, I learned it can be unexpectedly and unpredictably painful and cruel. What a betrayal!

I busted up my mouth and chin and cried like bloody hell for an hour. I finally nursed myself into a fitful sleep. When I woke later the swelling was almost gone and within 24 hours I had healed nicely. It's like a super-power =) Now all I have is a little scrape on my chin as a reminder of my "face fall" as Daddy calls it. He says he'll have to teach me to put my face to one side next time.


All better.

Dec 1: 4th swim class

I love the pool. I think I am really swimming... what do you think?


Daddy and I have really been enjoying these times together. We swim after rubber duckies, play circle games, swim on my tummy and back.

More swimming from Finn! Hy-Finn: Can't hold me down...

Nov 29: Well baby

Mommy and Daddy and I went to the doctor for my well-baby visit last Thursday.
Here's the update:

28" long (85%)
19 lb 1 oz (73%)
a big head (75%)

At least my head is not disproportionate to the rest of me. I'm healthy and still growing at breakneck speed! When will I slow down??
