6 months...6th sense?

Kidding...I only have 5, like the rest of the world.  But, I have been working on my sense of taste!  I have moved on to Veggies!  So far, I've had Green Beans, Peas, and just yesterday I started on Carrots!  My Mommy and Daddy make all of these new options themselves.  With the green stuff, I make faces...but I would still finish them all!  Mommy wasn't there for my carrot feast, but Daddy told her that I didn't really react; I just ate it like I do my oatmeal.  So, instead of pictures on this post, I'm going to share with you allllllll videos!  I have a couple of me eating new foods, and a couple of me playing.  I hope you enjoy!!!  (If you only have time to watch one video...I'd go for the last one...it's 2 minutes well worth it -- If I do say so myself).
Watch as I try my first vegetable...Green Beans!


I like to swing with my Daddy in Grandma's and Poppa's back yard.
(I also like to fall asleep on my Mommy there, too).
Sorry about the sideways video....still working on flipping this one!

Here's my first taste of peas.

Here I am "blowing raspberries" with Zaidy...we're both great at it, if you ask me!

More family has come and gone and are on their way!  Uncle Keith was visiting for Israel.  Bauby M and Zaidy Shelly are in from Chicago.  And, just yesterday, my Great Grandma Mildred, Uncle Alex, and Auntie Janet allllll came in from DC and Chicago!  Next up: Auntie Rachel, Uncle Rabbi, and Cousin L-A-I-L-A Laila!  We'll have photos overflowing...so check back (as soon as I have a chance to post, of course).

To those that celebrate...Chag Sameach.  Hope you and yours have a very enjoyable Pesach!!!

This post is brought to you by the color GREEN

You may ask, "Why GREEN?"  Well, for a few reasons...for one, I haven't posted since my very first St. Patrick's Day, and for another....I had my very first GREEN vegetable today!  So, I do realize it's been a while (this post is for weeks 23, 24 and 25), but I've been a busy boy.  I roll from back to tummy and back again, over and over, until I get to the toy I like.  I bounce around in my bouncy chair (Daddy calls it my office) - thanks Bauby M and Zaidy Shelly, it's awesome!

In other news...my Uncle Alex came for a quick visit.  And, as you can see, he wasn't afraid to feed me some oatmeal.  Delicious!



 

I think Uncle Alex was trying to feed the bear on my bib.












I still love storytime!  Here I am trying to read one to myself:

I'm as curious as Curious George.
Here I am on St. Patty's Day!
If Mom and Dad would stop combing my hair, they'd be able to tell if it's curly or not!

Nowadays I tend to sleep on my belly or side...but, on the rare occassion, I stay on my back.



It is March Madness, and although the Gators didn't fare to well, I got to hang out with Mom's work friend, Downtown Julie Brown!
Robert (my Dad's friend since Middle School)
was as tense about the gator game as I!





I was SO happy to be able to congratulate
Lauren on her engagement to Robert!

 


 

Even Robert's Cousin Tanya, came to cheer on the Gators!


After a game like that, I need a drink!


I also am quite entertained by my toes:

    



And my Bubby:
She is SOOOO funny!
Zaide too:

Silly Faces with Zaide!

I also continue to see friends, again and again.

Nothing like a little brunch with Dean.



My Mom's college roomie, Courtney visited FL for her Wedding Shower...and woke me up in the middle of the night.  She said, "I didn't mean to."  But we all know she couldn't keep her hands off of me!



Snuggling with my Nanny Ginger.  Oh, how I love her.



At work, I got to dance with "Safta Orlene!"  Congrats to her, she just had twin great-granddaughters!





 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
One morning I got to go to work with Mom.  Yeah, that's right...I did some Calculus.  Jealous?
Sometime, I can even enjoy my bottle allll by myself:


 Mommy and I went to a walk-a-thon at her school, and I got to meet the Miami Heat Dancers!!!

The High School boys thought I was awesome because I grabbed onto one of the girls' boobies!

 I love sitting next to my Daddy.  He's such a cool guy.


 And, I still love my bath time.  The water tickles and I love to splash in it.


Snuggle time...no, I'm not tired.  Really I'm not.

Morning cuddle time with Daddy!
Comfort thumb.  I think my Daddy is mocking me.


Reading or eating my favorite book with Grandma?

 Still reading?  Here are a few random shots of me:



Dreaming of a Cubbies Championship Season!!!

 
Can't stop watching TeeeeVeeeee





Want to go for a swing?



Love eating and playing...what else could I ask for?
 Finally, some REAL food.  None of this milk or oatmeal stuff.  Give me the goods!!!
Here come the Green Beans.

This is the good stuff?!
Keep checking back.  Next post will be all videos!  Check back soon!
