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!
