Toothy smiles

Here are two recent smiles with my new teeth showing

My fun activities

At 8 months, I love eating grown-up food - including aspargus.

Paula loves to play a game in which she buries me under my toys.

My sisters' library

My sisters came up with a library game which keeps them entertained for hours at a time.

I can wave bye-bye and I love being carried in a backpack.

Happy Valentines Day!

We enjoyed a cool Valentine's Day and tried to take some pictures to celebrate the day of love.

Happy 2008 to Oliver

Life is good at 6 months. Here are a few scenes from my days: playing, being carried, and having a bath.

Príncipe da Mimosa/The Prince of Tangerines

My newest discovery is that I love eating tangerines sent by great-uncle Nick and great-aunt Margie in California.

Happy New Year

We had fun at a friends' New Year's party.

Flubber slime

Sophia and Paula had a lot of fun making and playing with Flubber Slime during their winter break.

Sisters sledding

My big sisters and I went sledding this afternoon near Meacham in the Blue Mountains. It was a lot of fun for them, even though it was very cold. I stayed in the car and played with my Dad.

This is Paula taking a spill ...

and this is Sophia completing a full run ...

Round-n-round we go ...

With my favorite person in the whole world!

Snowy day in early December

My sisters made this cute little snowman!

Getting Christmas tree

I went to get a Christmas tree today.  It was a beautiful sunny day just after a nice snowfall near Jubilee Lake.  We bought a license to cut the tree for $5 and then headed up to the woods where we found a nice tree near enough to the road for me to come along and help cut it.  On the way home my sisters and I played in the snow at a look out point.

Santa photos

Even though we were disappointed that these were not the "real" Santas, we visited a couple of them last weekend to put in our Christmas wishes. Fortunately Oliver didn't pull their beard too hard...

Christmas is coming

This series is of potential photos for our yearly Christmas card. We were lucky to get a lot of snow.
