Uncle Gary

This is me with my Uncle Gary. Don't we look cute? When I first got to California I went to Uncle Gary's house and saw Cousin Julianne. She is bigger than me and she already likes to read books!



But we had to go back to Irvine to meet Daddy, too. I saw my aunties Mary, Belle and Nina. They are like my Grandma - they like to spoil me!

Dada Dada

Mommy and Mom-mom think it is funny that I say Dada all day long. They think I miss my Daddy. Mommy says he is coming soon, now that he is done with his big interview! That will be fun. I have been having fun playing with cousin Julianne and her parents, though, too. Julianne always comes to check on my when I cry. She thinks it is mean when my parents put me in my crib and I don't feel like sleeping!

We are going back to Irvine to wait for Daddy tomorrow. I will miss San Francisco and the big bridge. I don't even need a night light here, because there are lots of lights on the bridge!

California Adventures!

I guess you have been wondering where I have been lately. Last Thursday Mommy took me on a big plane and we got to see clouds and mountains from way up high, and then we arrived in California, where we saw Mom-mom, Pop-pop, Uncle Gary, Aunt Michelle, and cousin Julianne, and even Everett and Griffin, who are big boys. The big kids like to run around and make lots of noise. I wish I was bigger so I could play with them.

I have been having a good time, though Mommy was complaining because it took me a while to learn to sleep here. I have teeth growing in too, which means I will be able to eat real food soon. Though I am not sure I am ready for that. Last night Mommy ran off and Mom-mom tried to give me formula, and I said no, no, no!

I can almost sit up on my own, and I roll over when I need to reach my toys. But my favorite thing is still jumping up and down!

Noé says hello

Mommy is having too much fun playing with the video feature on Daddy's camera...

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

I had a fun weekend. Papé and Mabé came to visit me again. We went for a long walk in the sunshine, and then we went to a museum to see modern art. The grown-ups weren't very impressed by the art but I hope we get to go back there again. It was a great place to take a nap!

I also got to play cards. I played belotte with Daddy and I was very good at choosing which cards he should play.

I went to the pediatrician's office on Friday and had more vaccines. That wasn't fun. But I liked being weighed. I weigh over 8 kilos now, or about 18 lbs. I can almost sit up by myself, and the doctor says my teeth are starting to come in. She says it's almost time for me to eat apple sauce! Yum!

Today it is raining again so I have to stay inside. I have been busy though, taking care of my pets...



And practicing my speech for my Daddy's job interviews. I am going to introduce him! That way he is sure to get whatever job he wants.

Rando!

We went on a walk with my friend Titouan. My parents and some friends of theirs came along too. Here I am with Titouan's daddy.


We visited the ruins of a castle, plus we saw the Pyrenees. One day I am going to play in the snow up there!

In other news, I graduated from my baby sign language class last week. I learned a lot of new songs and signs to go with them. Most of the songs were about fish. I have never seen a fish, but my parents like to sing songs about fish when I am taking my bath. (I have started taking my baths in the big bathtub, with my big rubber duckie and my little rubber duckie.) Anyway, I liked the new songs, but my favorite songs are still "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "The Hokey Pokey" because I get to jump around when Mommy sings them.
