Can't sit still!

I haven't been able to go to the local library for songs and story time since I usually nap during that time. But this time I was awake and we made it! But there was so much to do and see that I couldn't sit still! I mean, come on, you're gonna wave a plush animal in front of me! What do you expect?!

Two's company

Mama was getting tired of building a brick house for my pal Snoopy, only to find me knock it down immediately and insist on her building another, over and over. So, she decided to use some old boxes and build a permanent home for him. Looks like he's got a visitor!

Top Chef

I've been watching mama a lot and she noticed that I liked "cooking". Since I didn't have a stove of my own, she quickly made one out of cardboard so that I could make my own dishes.

I like to recycle

An empty beer caddy makes a great caddy for my stuff.

What an awesome start to my day!

After mama went to see her chiropractor, I got excited and noticed something in the distance up the hill. So mama knew I had to go see it! She carried me on her back (which seems to be easier for her) and piggy-backed me up the hill to see this!

The next Pelé

I went to a trial Soccertots practice!


Obstacle course with mama. I may have cheated a little.


Water break!


Gooooooooaaalllllll!




Ended with a big parachute and a stamp!

Like mama like son

I like to help mama water her garden, which is one of my favorite things to do! Water is my favorite toy!

I'm in the band

Mama and papa got me a ukulele guitar. It's just my size! I'm working on some Johnny Cash songs.

Papa's Day!

On Father's day we took a little drive south and had an impromptu picnic.


Then fell asleep with all my toys on our drive back home.


I love my papa!

Yet again...

I'm terrible at keeping my blog updated. In a few months I'll be turning 2, and that is not acceptable for a 2 year old. I need to be more diligent with my responsibilities. I'll spare you with my constant apologies, so here's another quick mass update since the last time I posted.

Earlier this spring, Dwell had a photo shoot on kid's play houses with photographer Peter Belanger. So all us Dwell babies (and former); Cedar, Maddy, and I were able to participate in the shoot! Go pick up the current issue of Dwell! (I know, shameless plug where papa works)

Peter let me take a few photos with his camera.


Michael teaching me how to do a somersault.


Playing around with Peter and Michael.


Here's the final shoot!

Took the F-train to the playgrounds near Chinatown.


The playground had fun play structures, but my favorite was the train.




But the best part, was enjoying apples with mama.

Celebrated Stella's 1st Birthday! Stella couldn't keep her eyes off her cupcakes! (She's the one in the hat next to both her grandpa's)


Later I decided to go on my self-tour hike.

Halmoni came to visit for couple weeks, she spent some time with me and then with cousin Olivia.


I've been really diggin' "Where's Waldo" books, and I had to show halmoni that I could find Waldo.


Hung out with cousin Olivia.


(Of course those are Olivia's pink shoes!)


Went to the library near Olivia's place.


I wonder if they have that book I've been looking for.


There it is!


Just listening to a story


Uncle James loves doing this, despite what mama thinks.


Then we went to Tilden park! Of course to feed the farm animals and ride the train! But this time, I wasn't too interested in feeding the animals.




Cousin Olivia was trying to give me a hug while we waited for the train. Girls...ick!
