First Day of School

My last day at my old daycare was last Friday. I was sad to leave my nice teachers and friends. They made me a nice bag as a going away present. Mom and Dad already planned to have me move to my new daycare way back before I was born but couldn’t get in until now. They said I’m really going to like it. I was excited to make some new friends and meet my new teachers. I’m in orientation this week so Mom took the week off work to acclimate me to my new surroundings. We had fun. I was very tired and fell asleep shortly after we got there. Oops! Maybe tomorrow I’ll be a bit more social :)

Last Call for Cape Cod!

Summer is coming to an end. I went to the Cape this weekend to visit my Mimi. We had fun but Labor Day means I probably won’t be back down until next season. This makes me sad ;) I did have fun hanging out with my cousins, my Nana and my good friend Will.

Milestone Moment!!

I’m crawling!!! Last Wednesday when Mom was home with me I was not crawling by Thursday I was all over the place. I’m getting pretty fast too. So much so that Mom already went out and bought baby gates and outlet plugs. I LOVE any type of cords and wires. I crawl as fast as I can over to play with them. This usually upsets Mom and Dad but I continue to do it. Crawling is fun. Sometimes I practice my downward dog yoga pose too…that’s another favorite of mine these days!!

AJ -my friend!!!

I want to give a quick shout out to my big sister Ashley Joan. She is REAL under the radar. So much so in fact that I did not even know of her until months after I arrived. Marley is quite a force and demands much attention but Ashley Joan is a very sweet girl and she doesn't steal my binky! Here we are having some one on one time. Where is Marley....school(doggie daycare!)

Fu Manchu!!!

Do you like mine???

Ready Set...Sleep!!

I went to the cape this past weekend to visit Mimi and watch Dad run the Falmouth Road Race. We had lots of fun. Uncle John, Chrissie, Aunt Kel and Uncle Scott, my cousins and Nana came too! I was so excited to see everyone run that I went down for an early nap. I must have been tired from all the excitement b/c I slept for 2 hours (unheard of for me) and missed the whole race (oops! Sorry Dad...maybe next year I can watch)

I still had fun hanging out with "the people" and catching some rays!!

Sitting Pretty for the Camera

Here I am…one of the first known pictures…sitting all on my own!! After weeks of making Mom and Dad believe I may go off to college still unable to sit on my own, I surprised them all.

I do however, still prefer to lay on my belly and play….less chance of tipping over 

New Addition!!!

Don’t worry…we weren’t ignorant enough to get another dog BUT Marley and Ashley Joan now have a little cousin Parker (yet to be middle named) Minerella. It’s he a doll!!! Ashley was pretty much all set with him and just looked at me like “you have got to be kidding. If this one stays around TOO, I’m leaving!” Marley on the other hand couldn’t have been happier to have a new friend. Marley has never met a dog (or person) he doesn’t like. Parker is such a good boy. Welcome to the family!!!

Summer Fun!!

I went to a BBQ at my good friend Jackson’s house last weekend. Brought Mom and Dad along…ya know b/c I needed a driver. Jackson is only 8 days older than me but can sit on his own and has 2 teeth. Mom and Dad had to explain why I’m still toothless and laying on my belly. Yikes...I'm already behind :)

Checking in -

My summer has been so busy I haven’t had a lot of time to write my updates. Things are going well. I’m happy to report that I’m now able to sit on my own…I’m getting to be such a big boy! I’m also showing signs of crawling although I think I’m a while from actually getting anywhere. No teeth yet but I drool like crazy. Mom and Dad think they will come soon. Me too, I’m tired of them sticking their fingers in my mouth!!

I’ve become quite the pool boy this month (although Mom puts this 50+ sun block on me so you wouldn’t know it – I’m still a good pasty white color). Love the water!! Mom wants to get me in some baby swim lessons this fall. Me too! I’ll be diving in the deep end in no time 
