Baby's first boat ride

The boat, the boat!

Today Peanut, mom, dad and friends went out on the boat. We buzzed 520 on Lake Washington and came home again. Peanut was very excited to wear the new Go Diego! life jacket and his crabby sunglasses.

That is right ladies- this boat will be all mine in a few decades. You know you want it!

So cute!

Um, dad, are we using this correctly?

Baby's first rock concert

Today Uncle Kevin and his good friends - the rest of The Moondoggies- played at the UW. Peanut and mom went for a few songs. We also checked out Red Square. Getting into college is tough these days, so we tried to do some early admissions registration. Apparently arriving in a stroller is a give away that he may not be ready for school.

Here is Peanut and Uncle Kevin. Good times!

Happy Belated Easter

"He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny."

Poor Peanut; he did not escape humiliation on Easter morning. He did get his first little Easter basket, although mom and dad did take all the chocolate. Maybe next year, big guy!

The zoo- day two!

So because we had so much fun with Dort, Freddie and Cece, we went to meet Sarah and Grace the next day! This is Peanut sleeping while a peacock walks by to check him out.

We were equally unimpressed by the zebras.

Grace has been waiting to feed Peanut a bottle, and here was her chance.

Peanut is a total flirt, and here he is putting the moves on an older lady!

The Zoo!

Hey there!

So we were just hanging out and decided that it was so nice we should go to the zoo.

Before we left Peanut practiced fighting off wild elephants- because you never know when you may need to protect yourself.

Peanut got up close and personal with a gorilla, and was not intimidated by the fellow great ape.

He was much more excited by the poster of the gorillas on the wall behind me while I took this picture at the zoomazium.




Here are Cece and Freddie- they were showing Peanut how to do the zoo walk.

March madness

We're going to need a bigger bed.

This is my new friend, the lovey known as froggy. I was playing with it in front of him and didn't notice until later that he had grabbed it and held it under his arm. When we went downstairs, he cuddled up to it, and fell asleep.

What's your sign?



This is the new swing, which is also standing in as a bed, since it is the only place he'll sleep deeply in, unless he is being held.

Who are you calling Peanut?

So we had the big 2 month pediatrician's visit today. We learned that Peanut has gained 4 lbs since last time, that he may have a touch of the reflux (all the cool kids have it these days) and he needs to lay with the left side of his head down more often to prevent a weird lumpy head, speaking of which grew in circumference by 3 cm. Also the little guy had 5 vaccinations. And did very well!

So right now Peanut is 12 lbs 6 oz., 22.75 inches long, is tracking things well, has a cooing "conversation" with you, smiles a lot, likes to bat at his toys on his activity mat, loves to spit his pacifier out as soon as you put it in his mouth, has good head strength, but doesn't like to sleep laying down (or by himself!), likes to "ooh" along while being sung to, and loves his new swing.

He is also supremely spoiled by his family who love him very much.
