A Day At The Park!

So as you know, we moved into a cool new house in October. There is a fun park just up the street that we can all walk to. OK, so Mama and Dada do all the walking. I ride in my stroller.

This park has lots of fun stuff to do and even has an area just for us little guys. So far I love the swings the best...
Hey, Mama, look at me. I'm in a swing! Push me, Dada...
Wheeeeee!
Mama and I climbed up to the top of the slide...
And we went down together. I was a little scared but Mama was there so it was OK.
Let's come back tomorrow, Dada. This park is the best!

See you all again soon...Come back next week to see video of me walking for REAL!

Walking...What's the Big Deal?

OK, so I started working on walking all by myself in February. I would take one or two little steps here and there but I decided that I wanted to take my time and get good at it before making a commitment. Like my Uncle Jon says, "Everyone walks...EVENTUALLY." That works for me.

Anyway, here is a short video of my very first attempts at walking (February 26, 2009). I was riding my dragon, Elliot (you know, he's Pete's Dragon), and decided I'd give it a shot. Please ignore the lovely jammies Mama is wearing...focus on the baby, people.

Maybe next time I'll walk further...Stay tuned!

Oh To Be 1...It's So Much Fun!

Being 1 is great!

Here's some stuff I learned how to do in January...

I started eating real food (no more of that baby food stuff for me, people). I love mac 'n cheese the best, as you can see, and I insist on feeding myself.
And I am growing soooo big! Just check me out!
I also learned a few new skills. My Aunt Nora taught me how to throw a ball. Pretty cool, huh?
But I still love peekaboo...a boy can never have enough of that.
In all, I'm a happy boy! As long as I have my lovey (AKA blanket of any receiving variety), I'm OK.
Oh and check out my new smile. Gotta show off those awesome new teeth somehow.

Maybe I should work on that walking thing people are talking about. Maybe I'll have made some progress by my next post...

Bye for now...Keep smiling!

Santa Came! Amazing...

So I was skeptical at first but Santa actually showed up on Christmas morning and brought me this present. (By the way, check out my awesome Christmas jammies...Am I gorgeous or what?!)
Cool, it's a plane! It makes sounds and the people go up and down. Gee, thanks, Santa. I do believe in Santa...I do, I do, I do!
Are you up there, Santa? Next year I want a pony and a football and a Lotus (OK, Mama made me put that...a girl can dream, right?). Oh and Dada says you LOVE chocolate chip cookies the best. See you next year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! See you soon...

Christmas, Christmas Time Is Here!

Merry Christmas, everyone! This cool thing happened...I not only got a whole bunch of really cool stuff for my birthday but then a few weeks later I got more stuff for Christmas. Bonus, huh? Here we are at Mimi and Pop's house on Christmas Eve...
Wow, is this big bag for me? What's inside?
Hurry, Mama, what is it?
Come on, Mama, open it! Open it!
No celebration with the Livingstons would be complete without a few tears...
That's better. Here Jack and I are with our pretty mamas! Dada says I have to go to sleep now so that Santa character can come and bring me presents. I think he just wants the cookies Mama and I baked. We'll see...

My First Birthday Par-ty!

Well the "BIG" day finally arrived! My Mimi and Pop were nice enough to have my party at their house. When we got there, all my friends were already there and I was so excited!
We took some family photos since everyone was there. That paparazzi is still following me. Where do they come from? Anyway, here is my Mama's family...
And here is Dada's family...
Jack and I even took pictures with Mimi and Pop...we all suck our thumbs, you know.
And all my aunties were there to celebrate with me. What can I say, I am sooooo adored! My Aunt Darlene even came all the way from Miami (she's the one on the left). And I love my crazy Aunt Nora (on the right). She makes me laugh. And guess what, they tell me my Aunt Marisa is having a baby in July (it's going to be a girl...works for me as long as she shares her toys).
Then people started singing and I got a bit confused. Not so sure what this "cake" thing is...
Oh, I'm supposed to eat it. OK, not so bad...
Here, Mama, you try some, too!
So my birthday was a total blast! I hear you get one every year. Sounds good to me! Bye-bye for now...

Wow, Now I'm 1!

Today I'm 1-year-old! I'm very excited about it, can't you tell?
Oh, no! Is 1 old? I hope I still have my boyish good looks. Oh and here I am still in my jammies, too. Can't you wait until I get dressed to take my picture? I mean, really!
I was posing for photos when I realized there was this "thing" behind me...
Wow, it's so shiny and sparkly. I wonder what it is? Birthday, shmirthday! I'm going to check this thing out. See you at my party...
