some things daddy loves...

taking naps with me, even though he tells mom he is just "resting"...

silly ways to use diapers...

going on walks with me, especially if he gets to use the carrier and not the stroller...

giving me mohawks...(obviously you can tell i am not a fan of them!)

where's wald-joe?

since i can fold myself in half, mommy thinks it's funny that i can make myself as small as i was when i was born!

look ma, some feet!

nothing clever, just some pictures...

mom got a little camera-happy in the last few days...

a little hat-happy, too:

dad, on the other hand, got a little nap-happy (who am i kidding, he's always up for a good nap):

mom tried to put this hat on me when i left the hospital, just days old. it finally fits me!

and she can't get enough of it. while i can't get enough of my fingers!

dad took the next picture of me to show how i turn in my crib 360 degrees during the night. and i am really nosy now and had to turn my head to see what he was doing. boy, is my neck flexible!

mom's new favorite pic of me:

more crazy hat/hand pics:

commenting on how cute i am :)

mom accidentally disabled the ability for readers to leave comments...she just changed the settings again so let's see if this works...

my first, first cousin!

mom has a snow day today, so we figured what better way to use it than to update you on some FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!! my baby cousin nina was born a week ago today...isn't she beautiful?


i love her so much already, i couldn't WAIT to hold her hand. we are gonna be best buds. and before you say it, yes i know, i look huge next to her, especially my head:

some other fun we've been having...i am LOVING bathtime, especially now that i can hold my bath toys (and eat my towels):

and the best part, dad can't get enough of me:

and mom can't get enough of taking ridiculous pictures of me:

some new pals...

while i am waiting anxiously for my cousin to get here, i made myself some new friends in the meantime. and though it may look like my new friend is my shirt in the picture below (or anything else i can manage to grab and stick in my mouth), i am really talking about the guy and gal in the pictures at the bottom of this post...meet Ry Guy and Sammy Sweetheart. First though are some pics of me getting ready for the big meet and greet:

"mom, is this sweater the friend you were talking about? it's good!"


trying my hardest to look good, boy was i nervous:


"does the collar look okay? i want to look my best!"


and finally, my new pals:

we had so much fun! i hope to see them again soon :) maybe i'll be crawling by then...and more interested in them than in my sweater!!!
