October 15, 2005 | I'm on my best behavior when Grandma feeds me...no raspberries when there's food in my mouth.

October 9, 2005 | It was a "play day" for Shaelyn and I. We shared toys, played games, and even drooled on the carpet <<>>

October 8, 2005 | We celebrated my 9-month birthday with a recap of my favorite past-time: being held. I offer you the following photographic evidence!

October 1, 2005 | Mommy took the day off work so we could all hang out at GLC's play area. Yay FUN! Can't wait to get on top of that hot dog, slide past that spilt cup of coke, and stomp, stomp on those pancakes!

October 1, 2005 | After more than an hour of monkeying around, we all take a break on the lady bug.

October 1, 2005 | Standing up on all fours on a cola-covered ice cube.

October 1, 2005 | Coming through. I see it, I see it...a light at the end of the tunnel .

September 18, 2005 | Look ma, just learned a new trick.

September 18, 2005 | Giddy up horsey. We're on our way to my favorite watering hole, the Ole Corral.

August 29, 2005 | We met up with Uncle Toby and Aunt Debbie for some Japanese cuisine before driving back home. This nice couple got me an awesome fleece jacket. Just a question...the jacket says Monterrey, California on it. Why would you need a jacket in sunny Cali? Hmm...not as intriguing as the driving on a parkway and parking on a driveway mess, but a most close second.

August 29, 2005 | Sharing a few smiles with my mommy.

August 29, 2005 | After a couple of hours on the Body by Jake machine, I sure could use that green towel. Thanks mommy...you're the bestest in the whole wide world.

August 29, 2005 | Day 3 in T.O. Finally, Winston shares his toy with me. Lookie here, it's a fabulous soap box. I think our parents are training us for "The Price Is Right." Can't wait to meet the Barker Beauties. My bid for this all-exciting empty soap box is $0.99 (oh...er...Bob, no thanks on reaching into your pocket for the $100 bonus cash for bidding right on the mark).

August 27, 2005 | So we packed up and went to Toronto for the weekend. The first thing cousin Winston shows me is his cool sofa sleeper. Yes this thing folds right out into a bed, complete with a soft, fluffy blanky. And then, he shows me his Pooh music box. I don't know about you, but I think my folks need to spend a little more on their little precious.

August 25, 2005 | A little horseplay with mommy and daddy before we head off to school.

August 19, 2005 | My favorite activity...crawling around the house. Here I am exploring the finer details of our kitchen. Hmmm...there's a crumb just ahead. I think I'll go and eat it.

August 9, 2005 | When the sun comes up and the rooster crows, I get out of my bed and put on my clothes (aka diapers). So c'mon my friends, come along. Hop aboard on my little yellow bus.

July 31, 2005 | No question, I'm a bottle kind of guy and it looks like I've developed a taste for the bubblies too.

July 24, 2005 | Hail the Little Emperor of Novi in his new throne. "You may rise now, my subjects."

July 23, 2005 | There I am with the Miss Julie and Cristin, who dropped by to hang out with me after my nap. We flipped (see next pic), crawled, and wa-wa-wa'd (talked).

July 23, 2005 | Round and round and round I go....got my first gymnastics lesson from Miss Cristin. It was quite a swirl!

July 21, 2005 | Cruising the water with Moby for hot chicas!

July 21, 2005 | They told us it was a "luau"...I think we're just shark bait! From the top left: Ekaterina (almost naked), Ethan, ME!, Shaelyn, Bradley, Ryan, Lauren, Natalie, Shayna, and Wyatt (middle).

July 17, 2005 | Decisions, decisions...what's a 6-month old to do when you're presented with two such tempting choices!!!

July 13, 2005 | Striking a pose after the feeding frenzy. My menu now consists of rice cereal, oatmeal, chicken (boneless, of course), carrots, green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, applesauce, and peaches. Next up: STEAKS...mmmhhhmmm...beef.

July 13, 2005 | Making a run for it. With the help of my brand new walker, I'm finally discovering the rest of the house (cya family room and kitchen...hello foyer!).

July 9, 2005 | After all those laps, I'm just chillin' by the lounge chair...don't I kinda look like Yoda, the Jedi Master, in my robe?

July 9, 2005 | Here I am, splish and splash with mommy and daddy.

July 9, 2005 | I went to the pool with auntie Fonch and cousins Cindy & Wendy.

July 7, 2005 | Final last set of push ups in preparation of my 6-month wellness checkup (that's right, I'll be celebrating my 1/2 birthday tomorrow!).

weight: 17lbs 13oz., height: 26.5", head circumference: 17" -- this all puts me in the 75th percentile

July 5, 2005 | My very first day at daycare. Daddy, grandma, and grandpa dropped me off this morning and mommy picked me up at 5:30. During that time, Ms. Cindy and Ms. Sue took great care of me. Rest easy guys, I'm in good hands and look, I'm having fun with my new toys.

July 1, 2005 | Just woke up and realized it's the 1st of July, my very first Canada Day....Happy birthday Canada!

June 27, 2005 | Hi y'all. Quick update....I'm almost 6 months old, eating real colourful foods (carrots, green beans, and cereal), and starting to sleep better during the night. I'll post all my vital stats in a couple of weeks when I go in for my next wellness checkup. Until then, check out how cute I am ;-)

June 27, 2005 | Oh, I forgot to mention, I can sit up on my own now. And I am a non-abiding member of the "Finger-free sucking World" club.

June 27, 2005 | I can't get enough of looking at mommy [well, that's because daddy works too much...don't know what he looks like...who's my daddy?...have you seen him?]

June 27, 2005 | Striking a pose at the photo studio. Please contact my agent if you want to book me for your event.

June 26, 2005 | Standing tall with grandpa watching over my shoulders.

June 19, 2005 | My first underwater excursion...one...two...three...big breath!

June 19, 2005 | It's Father's Day and I spent it in the pool with daddy. We made splashes, big, big splashes!!!

June 18, 2005 | Group shot! The Chungs, the Wangs, and the Changs. An Asian invasion of Novi on a beautiful Saturday in June.

June 16, 2005 | Auntie Marelyne and Saera from Colorado spent a few days with us. We hung out and ate bbq...well, I ate my smushy food.

June 13, 2005 | My first commercial spot...posing with the master chef and the maitre d' of Eat in Thailand in Windsor, ON ( 992 University Ave. West, 519-252-0159). Simply the best Thai food on this continent...trust me, I tried it. The pad thai's a killer.

June 5, 2005 | Everyone wants to touch my shiny noggin, including Cousin Winston.
