my second week

First stroll around the neighborhood.

Ohne Worte!

Ein kleiner Burrito.

Ich glaube ich hab' gerade einen fliegen lassen...

lots of little turkeys

Happy Thanksgiving!

getting to know my sister

I know she means well but sometimes it feels like she wants to suffocate me.

nur mit Alkohol zu ertragen

Apparently Papa needs a glass of wine in order to deal with us...

my first bath at home

As you can tell, this bathing thing is for the birds. Even the duck theme isn't fooling me.

hanging out

This is where they put me when they are getting ready in the bathroom in the morning and don't have time for me.  I usually play along for a while.

warm-up for the Christmas photo shoot

This year, Mom and Dad took matters into their own hands and created their own Christmas photo shoot at home. If you are on their mailing list you will soon see the outcome of the photo session and that's why I don't want to spoil things with pictures from that shoot. However, Dad took the following pictures to test the light and the background and I was just placed randomly on the bed.

Also today, we received a great big basket of chocolate covered fruit (plus a teddy bear for Betsy) from my Auntie Sue and Uncle Jim. Unfortunately, none of the chocolate made it my way.

my first doctor visit

I dropped below 8 pounds and now I am slowly making my way back up to my birth weight.


My first doctor visit was combined with my sister Betsy's 2-year check-up. Unlike me, Betsy actually had to endure a shot (in the finger!) but she didn't even flinch. I hope I will be as brave as her when I grow up!

Coming home
