Winter Wonderland

Walks with Daddy

 No, no snow here in Amman yet (though mommy says that her students and co-workers are sure wishing for snow!), but I thought you might be interested in seeing a bit of what I do during the winter . . . and what that looks like.

More walks!

Another Play Date with Leila and her mommy!!

And I've discovered this cool thing
called hair: it's great to hold on to!

Firsts

OK, in my last post I promised more on all the "firsts" that Christmas brought with it. Well, here goes. Mom (and Grandma, and Uncle Dave and Aunt Bethany) went crazy with the cameras, so I figured that pictures would be the easiest way to share my firsts:

Checking in at the airport

Hanging out on daddy's
carry-on 

First time in Paris
(OK, it's just the airport, but still!)

Meeting Grandma Ruth in Chicago

First Jet-Lag
(this photo taken around 3 a.m.!)

Airplane Rides

Meeting Grandma Ginna
and Gran-Tom at the
San Francisco Airport

And more Jet Lag
(this time at the beach)

Time with Grandma Ginna

Time with Gran Tom

Time at the Beach!

No Firsts Here:
Just Bubbles

Time with Cousin Bethany

A walk on the beach
with Daddy and Cousin
Kylee

Getting to meet Cousin Ellie
(she's four months older than me) 

She can do some things
I can't do yet!

Uncle Dave and Cousin Ellie

First time in the sand!

This sand stuff is OK!

All of us at the beach in Watsonville, CA: Grandma Ginna and Gran Tom,
Daddy and me (Mommy took the picture),
Uncle Dave, Aunt Bethany, and Ellie,
Aunt Sadie, Kylee, and Bethany

And this is REALLY everybody: the Sloans, Cropseys, Snyders,
Klicks, Rounsaville, Hamilton, Leslie, VanCleaves . . .
