This past weekend was filled with lots of family! My Aunt Shana and Uncle Brian were down in Hollywood for Auntie Shana's 10-year high school reunion. So, I got to see them and my doggie cousins - Harley and Bailey! I also got to spend some time with Bubby and Zaide and Grandma and Poppa!
But, before spending time with family, it's always important to maintain a balanced diet.
As you can see, I balanced my spinach and veggies all over my face. That's what everyone means by balanced diet, right?
But in all seriousness, I love eating my meals. I think the only food I spit out every time I try it would be cucumbers (just like my Mommy)! I seem to enjoy everything else, especially bananas!
I don't normally eat an entire banana, but that's mostly because Mommy and Daddy won't let me do it in one sitting.
Of course, a balanced diet does nothing for you, if you don't exercise! Here I am taking a stroll:
This past Friday night I went to my first-ever Tot Shabbat. It was great! I got to see two of my classmates from summer Mommy and Me, but I didn't get a picture taken of me. My tie was laying out and Mom thought it was only appropriate to have Dad try it on for a photo-op!
My parents are so entertaining, they're like my own, personal clowns!
On Saturday, we spent the day down in Hollywood. We spent the day playing with the doggies, swimming, and really had a great time!
Here I am with Uncle Brian playing.
He knows just how to entertain us "kids."
But, I can entertain, too! Here I am playing peek-a-boo. Every time I'd poke my head out, the dogs would get scared and run away. I had a great time!
But, once I got rid of the bowl, Bailey was brave enough to come venture towards me.
Look at me cruising around on everything. It was a challenge walking on the tile in those socks, though!
On Sunday, we got to spend a bit more time with Aunt Shana and Uncle Brian and the pups before they headed back home.
These guys are hilarious! They're the only ones that will spend the entire day with me on the floor!
HAHAHA, and their tails are so ticklish!
Harley, I see the lizard you're looking at, but I don't get why it's so entertaining.
I used Harley to help myself stand-up. Let's just say that didn't fare well for any of us!
Oh Aunt Shana, you're too sweet.
We "strolled" through the kitchen together!
And when I couldn't walk any further, Bailey came over for a visit.
What a silly guy!
I love riding on Mommy's desk chair.
Smiles all around. When you're with family, what's not to love?!
Uncle Brian, you missed the memo --- funny faces!
I guess I missed the memo on this one -- look at the camera and smile.
Daddy is convinced I'm going to love riding the tea-cups when we go to Disney in November. In this video, you'll see why:
Finally, I ended my weekend with Mommy, Daddy, and dinner with Grandma and Poppa!
Quality football watching time with Daddy.
Who says we don't look alike?
I'm not sure why...but my folks LOVE taking close up shots of me!
Ain't we cute?
Tell it again, why did the chicken cross the road?!
I LOVE POPPA!!!!
Wait, let me get this right...we're supposed to all look at the camera and smile...at the same time?!
Finally, each night, I listen to a bed time story. In this case, I was cracking up every single time my Mommy would say, "oops." Unfortunately, by the time we got the camera, it wasn't nearly as funny, but it's still cute:
Well, I may not be two, but I definitely got tooth number two this past week! I now have my two lower teeth and do all I can to eat everything I can manage using these sharp new additions!
Rummaging through the kitchen, looking for something good to eat!
Can you see me under here?
Peek-a-boo...I'm under here!
I tried my first "dip" and it was delicious. Hummus, Yummy!
This shot reminds my Mom of my cousin Laila. Squinty smile, entertaining everyone.
Read me this book, Aunt Susie...please!
Aunt Susie and Grandma Candy help me bathe.
In other news, my two theme continues as my Daddy decided to weigh me at Publix (our local grocery store). Any guesses?! Hint: think two. Okay, Bubby, I know numbers aren't your thing, but I don't weigh two pounds. I weigh TWO TWO pounds (my Mommy says it's really twenty-two, but what does she know?).
Finally, two of Daddy's and Mommy's friends got married this past weekend. I didn't go to the wedding, but I got to enjoy afternoon snacks at Dave's parent's house. AND, I got to spend some time with Taylor (she was born exactly 3 weeks after me) -- aren't we cute?!
Grandma babysat for me while Mom and Dad were at the wedding.
When Daddy graduated from UF, he went to Europe with Marco and Dave for 6 weeks...and they survived!
Wow, Taylor, you've grown so big! The last time I saw you, I was 8 days old and you weren't even born yet. Does that count?
This past week I saw LOTS of people! My parents' friends, Shlomit and Seth, came over late one night. In fact, I got to wake up in the middle of the night to play with them! Once I started rubbing my eyes, Mommy and Daddy made me go back to sleep, though.
I really like Shlomit, she holds me and plays with me.
Seth played "if you're happy and you know it..." with me for a long time...
...and because I was happy, I clapped my hands!
This was Mom's first week back with students, so Cherry and Daddy watched me throughout the week! Both of them brought me to 'Mommy and Me' and to my swim lessons!
It's parachute time at Mommy and Me!
Guess what's back! Back again? FOOOOOOTBALL!!!!!! I started my Friday night with Mommy and Daddy at North Broward's (that's where Mom works) first home game of the season. We started the festivities with a nice BBQ. I ate an entire hot dog allllllllll by myself!
My Mom works with Alex and Jenny, who both had Sophia back on the 4th of June. We finally got to meet her...she's so cute (just don't tell her I said so)!
The next generation of NB students?!
I also played with lots of Mommy's work friends:
Me and Dana....she's awesome! I can't wait until her nephew comes to visit!
Lara and I were able to get a quick shot while her son played!
Karen and I really hit it off. I spent most of the night with her! Hope we can have another "date" soon! :)
Finally, Bubby and Zaide returned from Israel and I was able to spend some time with them this weekend! Here Zaide is playing "Mr. Bones" with me...that always puts a smile on my face!
Getting ready to be tickled by "Mr. Bones!"
Recently, I've been trying to get the camera into my crib. Usually I'm pretty slick, but I think I may have gotten caught this time:
Uhhhhhhhhh, it wasn't me!
Am I the son of a dentist, or what?!
So happy to have my tooth!
My Daddy always tells me to, "Brush the ones you want to keep!"
Of course, with Labor Day Weekend, comes lots of good quality family time...and BBQing of course!
I loved playing with the Holzman's doggies!
Getting a close up!
Just us guys...
Bubby says the bones are the best part...I'm still not sure.
"Eye" see you!
Hi Bubby!
It's soooo funny! I'm up here, and you're down there!
This is some serious hot dog eating going on!
But, nothing tops a good bottle at the end of a hard day.
Lastly, Auntie Shana and Uncle Brian came down this weekend. I haven't seen them for a couple of months, so it was really fun to show them how I crawl everywhere, stand myself up, and go "Up" and "Down" while holding on to things.
