Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a Healthy and Happy New Year!

See you in 2007!

Recording studio

On weekends I like to relax in my recording studio. I'm a very good singer, although not very good with lyrics. Also, I really like my iPod. I've liked it since I was a baby.

One day I'll get some headphones that fit!

When I grow up..

When I grow up I'm going to be a fireman. Or maybe a train conductor. Or perhaps a school bus driver. But for now, I'm having too much fun just being a kid!

Reading to Mommy

Mommy likes when I read her stories. Her favourite books are from 'Thomas & Friends' (because of all the 'Thomas the tank engine' pictures). I hope Mommy doesn't have a train fetish.

Ch,Ch,Choo..

P.S. I read by myself too

Fixing Thomas

I'm trying to fix my Thomas train 'cause he's got a few screws loose. Just like my Daddy.

"Do not make eye contact"

Here I am riding with a loonie. When I got on the ride, the sign said "2 loonies per ride". Oh oh, that makes me the other loonie!

Maybe if I ignore him he'll go away

Merry Christmas!

To all my fans, I hope you got what you wanted for Christmas and Hanukkah. I know I did!


[Here's another VIDEO CLIP of me opening my gifts]

Baby Mozart

At this time of the year I like to serenade Mommy & Daddy with Christmas & Hanukkah songs. I find it's most effective when they're trying to take a nap.

Any more requests?

Spinning the Dreidel

This is me taking my dreidel for a spin (it must use really small batteries). Personally, I prefer taking 'Thomas the tank engine' for a spin.

Going for a spin

OOOOooooooooo..

As you can tell from my expression, I'm very excited with my Hanukkah present (tracks for my 'Thomas collection'). I can spend all day playing with Thomas (although I don't like when he crashes).


[Here's a short clip of me opening my present]

Climbing onto Jason's lap

Whenever Jason does his homework, I like to sit on his lap (it helps him concentrate). Sometimes he makes me climb there myself!

Below are my 5 simple lap-mounting steps*

*[Do not try this at home. I am a professional]

Bath time antics

As you can see, I really like by bath time.. almost as much as my post bath bundling!

Look, I'm making bubbles!

I love yogurt!

At dinnertime, no food brings me more joy than yogurt. In fact, simply carrying it makes me happy.

Food fight!

My Favourite Chair (21st month)

Today I'm 21, just like Andy (although he uses a different calendar based on 'years'). To celebrate, I took my monthly picture in my favourite chair. Again.

As you can see below, I'm listening to posing instructions from my official photographer. He wants me to do the usual boring things like smile and laugh. Personally, I'd rather just relax.

Ok, I'm sitting, now what?

Thomas!

For Hanukkah, I got a Thomas train that goes all by itself! This is the happiest day of my life.

Happy Hanukkah!

Today is the first day of Hanukkah. Or is it spelled 'Hannukah', or maybe 'Chanukah'? Whatever, I'm just a kid (what's Daddy's excuse?). Oh well, to everyone I know.. "Happy Hanukkah!" (Festival of Lights).

Giddyup!

Piggyback riding is my favourite mode of transportation. Mommy & Daddy both give good rides. Just not together!

Smart Car

Here I am driving around the neighborhood in my smart car. Now if I can just convince Daddy to get me this tractor..

C'mon, I'm waiting!

Hello?

"Hello. Sorry I can't talk right now. Call back in a few months when my vocabulary's better."

Still waiting patiently

It seems I spend half my life waiting for Mommy & Daddy to get ready. Mommy won't leave 'til the place is spotless, while Daddy spends the whole time looking for his keys (which Mommy put away to make the place spotless).

"SIGH"

I did it!

I'm very excited here 'cause I just just completed my new puzzle all by myself! (with a little help).

Going for a spin

Bbrrrrrrrr.. That's the last time I drive a convertible in the winter!

Wooden exercises

Every day I exercise on my banister. On the left I'm working my leg muscles and on the right my arms. One day I'll go to the gym like my Daddy.

Hangin' out with my Bro's

There's nothing better than hanging out with my really big brothers. Being with Mommy and Daddy is ok, but Andy and Jason are a lot cooler.

The Three Musketeers

All clean

Here I am after my daily shower. My favourite part is when Mommy makes my hair all bubbly (I don't like when it's rinsed off). I must be the cleanest kid around!

I hope that camera's waterproof!

Another dumb joke

This is my usual reaction to Daddy's jokes (although I sometimes laugh, I usually try to escape).

That was funny. NOT!

Let loose

Despite her best instincts, Mommy decided to let me loose in a clothing store. She eventually found me.

Stroller snack

Daddy caught me eating the crumbs out of my stroller. I've had better snacks.

Not bad!

Table hopping

Mommy specifically told me not to climb onto the kitchen table. So of course, as soon as she left the room, I climbed onto the kitchen table. I hope she doesn't see this picture.

look, I'm a placemat!

Rain rain go away

Since it's raining outside, I decided to grab an umbrella. I hope the wind doesn't blow me away.

Do you have anything smaller?

Blue dog

I never get tired of my little blue dog. It's too bad he's shrinking! (Here he is last year)

Escaping

Here I am trying to escape my brother. He usually catches me by grabbing my foot. I hope it doesn't come off!

You can't catch me!

Blogging with Jason

Sometimes my brother Jason helps me with my blog. Not with his ideas, but with his lap. It's much easier to reach the keyboard from there.

Thanks for the lift Jason

Stomach Burbles!

Sometimes, after Mommy's changed my diaper, she gives me stomach burbles. She's been doing this ever since I was a baby. When I get older, I'm going to give her stomach burbles right back!

aaaaaaaaa.. ..stop!!

"Wheels on the Bus"

One of my favourite songs is called "wheels on the bus". I can't sing it yet, but I can act out the words. In the pictures below, I'm at the part that goes "the doors on the bus go open and shut".

* To see a SHORT CLIP of the wheels going "round & round", CLICK HERE.*

Sharon's slippers

Here I am escaping with Sharon's slippers. I didn't get far because of the paparazzi.

Good hair days and bad

Mommy has beautiful black hair. Unfortunately I inherited Daddy's.

Hair today.. gone tomorrow

I've been put on a pedestal

Mommy put me on a pedestal! Maybe, one day, she'll put Daddy on a pedestal too. (Don't count on it).

I'm being monitored

This is my 'baby monitor'. I don't want to sound paranoid, but I think I've been under surveillance since I was a baby. I guess they heard of my escape plans.

Hello? Here, it's for you!

Taking a nap

Here I am napping after a busy day. I don't need a pillow though, I just use my cheeks.

Having fun with Mommy

Here I am showing Mommy a good time. She especially likes when I take her up and down the big slide. We do other things too, but the slide's her favourite. Even after we go a few hundred times.

"one more time"

Can't get comfortable

No matter how hard I try, I can never get comfortable on this couch (otherwise I like it).

I've got this sinking feeling..

A quick pose

I finally got rid of the paparazzi with this fake smile. I guess they were on a deadline.

Thomas train catalogue

Sometimes, when I want to relax, I peruse my 'Thomas the Tank Engine' catalogue. There's nothing more exciting to a kid with a one track mind!

Wow, look at all those trains!

My Favourite Chair (20th month)

Tomorrow I'll be 20 months old! That means another monthly picture in my favourite chair. Since last month's picture was late, I thought I'd post this one early. Things have a way of working out.

Markville's Moat

This is me in Markville Shopping Centre. I couldn't really shop though, 'cause they built a moat through the entire mall!


"How do I get across?"

Choosing pictures

Here I am choosing pictures for my blog. This task comes with great responsibility. I must make sure that some photos never appear. For instance, Sharon told me to never show her face on my blog. That's why I chose this picture, and not this one.

Morning pushups

"..ninety-eight, ninety-nine.."



Every morning I do one hundred pushups. I've been doing this since I was a baby.

It's cold outside!

I just came in from outside. As you can tell from my red cheeks, it was cold! Maybe next time I'll wear a jacket.

Counter productive

After dinner, I like to watch Mommy do the dishes from the counter. I'm not just productive, I'm counter productive!
