Gordon Family

I was so tired from my parents waking me up so early in the morning I was a little bit grumpy but I still managed to have fun at Umi's and Grandpa Gordon's.


Here is my Uncle D. We have a special thing because Uncle D stayed up with me the first night I came home from the hospital. He is so cool, you know sometimes when Mommy and Daddy aren't looking I check him out on that big t.v. my dad has.
Here is Daddy and I in our Dodger Blue and Cousin Malia. I can't hardly wait until I get to ride on Daddy's back like that.

Here is my big Gordon Family.. In the back row we have Uncle D, Umi, Aunt Tee Tee, Cousin Cheryl, Aunt Maiya, Grandpa. Then in the front row we have Mommy holding cousin Malia, T.J., J.T. me and Daddy. The Gordon's have a pool! Cousin Malia is so lucky, I hope I get one soon.
Here is Umi and Grandpa, and by now you know who they are holding, right?

Here is cousin Malia. She was so much fun, I can't wait until I can run around with her. She helped Mommy change my diaper and she helped Umi feed me. She told me that she loves me and she can't wait to teach me how to do neat things like color and write my name.

1st Trip on an Airplane

So the big day was here! I was going on an airplane ride to Los Angeles to see my grandparents and other family members. It was so exciting. My parents actually woke me up at 3:30 in the morning so we could catch our flight at 6:00am. I was so excited that I was awake in the car all the way to the airport and all the way through the security screening. I kept wondering what it would be like to go that fast!

Here are Daddy and I, waiting at the airport for our plane to come and take us away.

Here is the whole family!
And here is what I did throughout the entire flight! I SLEPT! I missed the whole thing. What a bummer! I was so excited that I wasted all my energy getting to the airport and didn't save enough to be up for the flight itself. I heard my parents say that they were glad because if I was sleeping that meant I couldn't be crying!

My New Tricks

So this week I've learned some fun new things. On Thursday morning I played a good trick on Daddy. I flipped over in my crib so when he went pick me up he was looking at my backside. I think it took him a minute to realize what happened. You know it takes Daddy a moment to process the information when he has only had 4 hours of sleep. Then my mom said that I turned into a human clock.. watch....

This picture was taken when she first put me down on the floor. Notice the teddy bear in the bottom left corner, it doesn't move in any of these frames but I DO!

15 minutes later I was over in the corner...

15 minutes after that....

15 minutes after that.....

It took me a whole hour and I only went in a circle but I am moving. My parents are done! Their lives just got even more complicated. Wait until I get really going.. they are not going to be able to keep up with me.

Now this is a Birthday

You remember how I've been complaining about my birthdays?? Well I recently went to a birthday party that was worth having. I guess I'll have to wait until my first year birthday before I get some cake! It was a lot of fun meeting all of these new people. Did you know they come in all sizes? So far I've seen really big people (like my parents and their friends and my grandparents) and medium sized people (Michael and Marley) but until Monday, I hadn't met someone my size.
Michael hitting a pinata. Apparently you get to hit this thing until it explodes and candy comes out. Unfortunately my parents told me that I was to young to have any of the candy. I think they just wanted to keep it for themselves!

Daddy being goofy like me and sticking out his tongue.

Happy Mothers' Day

To all of the ladies in my family who are mothers... my aunt, grandmothers, great aunts, and cousins, and of course my mom..... Happy Mother's Day! You want to know what I am doing for my mom on Mother's Day? I told her that I would be on my best behavior! I am going to take my naps like I am supposed to and I am not going to spit up my entire meal on her! I told her I would give her a day of rest. I've been been kinda off this week but it is all because of this incredible pain I'm having in my mouth. I've heard Mommy and Daddy talking about "teeth." Could this mean that I am almost ready for that steak dinner they had a while back that smelled so good???

When can I do this???

Last weekend was mommy's friend's birthday. Her name is Lori. Lori and Jerry live in Arizona but it looks a lot different than my back yard. It is huge! And green! It has a pool, basketball hoop, barn, and big enough grass area to have a really big slip and slide. I was told that I was too young to go on it but it sure looked like my dad, Mike and Jerry had fun! I want to go on it now!!! When I get big enough I am coming back here...

Me and Dad just chillin'

Lots of people wanted to hold me and you know, I just love being held when I sleep! Did you see what is in my mouth?? My pacifier went away for a while but it is back! I don't know for how long but I am going to enjoy it while it lasts!
