I've been busy since my birthday. I've been trying to do so many new things. I've been rolling over and over and over and over again. Mommy tires to put my on blankets on the floor but I want to move around. I don't stay on them for very long. My daddy has been working with me on my sitting. It is a new way to look at things. I can't do it for very long and I can't do to many things while I am trying to sit up because I end up falling over! As long as my parents are close by I don't mind falling over once and a while.




You've all seen me do this before...I talk for minutes on end. I keep trying to make the same sounds my parents make but no matter how hard I try they don't come out quite right. Except towards the end of this tape...Mommy says "all done" and my sounds came out like hers! It surprised her as much as it surprised me!

5 Months Old

So I am 5 months old today (for you Chapelle lovers that's, "one, two, three, four, fiiiif."). I've been pretty busy the last couple of months, you know all of those jet setting trips to LA and all. I am now back home and loving exploring my home again. I've been noticing new things now that I can hold my head up and move it from side to side. There is so many things to look at!
I've also been working on sitting up. I am trying to do it without all of these pillows but they are so comfie.
Um um um mmmmm, rice cereal finger licking good. Not really. I am getting the hang of it though. At first I didn't understand what Mommy and Daddy where putting in my mouth but now I am getting more used to it.
That is Mommy and I stiting on our new porch swing. Daddy took the picture and it makes it look like we are sitting in a jungle, don't be fooled. That is as green as it gets! The rest of this town is BROWN.....

My New Sounds....

I think I've almost got this speaking thing down. You put your lips together and see what kinds of noises you can make. My parents seem to get more excited when I do this than when I am just making squealing and squeaking noises. For all of you who've commented on my hair, you'll know why it stands up the way it does after you watch this. I love running my fingers through it! I've also recently found those two things at the end of my legs. My parents call them "feet" every time I touch them. Now if I could figure out how to get them in my mouth, hmmmmm.

4th of July weekend

Happy 4th of July! My parents and I drove to California to celebrate the 4th with our family in Los Angeles. What could be more American than celebrating the 4th by wearing red, white and blue and a Dodger hat?

Who needs the park when your parents are willing to make their own kind of swing? It was fun because when I rolled one way there was Mommy and then I would roll the other way and there was Daddy!

Grandpa Moss got a new toy but I don't know what the big deal is. What good is a car if my car seat won't fit into it? Everyone got to go for a ride except for me! Grandpa told me that when I get old enough I can learn how to drive stick shifts on his car.

Mommy snapped this picture when I was being goofy with Grandma Moss. Grandma Moss likes to sing all sorts of crazy songs. This last trip she kept singing a song that went something like: "pop goes the weasel," and then she would "pop" me up in the air. I guess in that song I'm the weasel. Should I be offended she is calling me a weasel? What is a weasel anyway?

Fun with Fish

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach when we went back to Los Angeles last weekend. I can't wait until I can actually learn how to surf. I guess first things first though, I need to learn how to stand up on my own on land before I try and stand up on a surfboard on the water, huh? Doesn't Malia make the cutest seal ever?


This is something I don't ever want to run into when I am out surfing! Well actually this shark seemed kind of harmless because my parents let me get close enough to it to take a picture with it.

Here I am with Umi and Grandpa Moss. We were just looking at these interesting things that live in the water like sting rays, and sharks.


Here we all are (Malia, Auntie Maiya, Me, Daddy and Mommy) outside. It was sooo nice this weekend. We were actually outside and it wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold! It was just right!
Uncle DeOnte was at the aquarium too! Nobody can tell from the pictures at the aquarium because I am not smiling but I had a great time. Sometimes when I am investigating new stuff around me I forget to smile!
Whew! By the end of the day I was just pooped. I can't stand that much excitement in one day!

Myles the Godfather

"But, now you come to me and you say "Don Corleone, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my home on the day my daughter's to be married and you ask me to do murder for money." Bet you didn't know that I already have the ability to quote movies like my Uncle MJ and Great Uncle Patrick, must run in the family.
