Cracker Cute

Myron was eating a cracker last night and was just too cute -  we had to post them.

New Shoes

Myron's feet and ankles are growing faster than mommy and daddy can shop.  He grew out of 3 pairs of shoes last month (one we bought, 1 pair of Ivan's shoes, and a pair from auntie Kim).  At this rate we'll be buying him shoes every other week.  Hopefully these will last a while. So cute!

The Day History was Made

Mommy is a little behind on the blog, but here is what I did the day history was made (Obama became president).  I raised my left hand in honor of him and shared my pretzel, a big gesture on my part considering pretzels are one of my favorites these days.  I tried strawberries for the first time. New president, new food - that's my moto.

And ate green beans striate from the tub.  What a day!

Yogurt & Tomato Soup

Myron loves to feed himself.  And the messier the better. 

Do I look like Santa?

Is this paint or food?

Okay I've put on my war paint and I'm ready for battle - the clean up battle that is.  The lines on his forehead are from him dipping his head in the bowl (so cute),  which is better than him picking up the bowl to drink because that would make a mess, hah!

Myron's First Art Project

Myron did his first art project this week.

Art is fun!

and it tastes good too!

Mommy is so proud of my first picture.

Martin Luther King Day with Mommy

Mommy didn't have to work on Martin Luther King Day, yeaheee!  We spent the whole day together.

In the morning I was super sweet and cute.

In the afternoon, I climbed the stairs (all by myself),

Went for a walk in the park and

crawled in the wood chips... what a day!

Walking Part III

Now Myron is not only walking on flat land but also takes on small steps and obstacles (as this supper cute video shows).

Walking Part II

After Christmas Myron quickly picked up the pace on his walking. Not just one step here or one step there he started using it as means of tranporting himself. It's crazy how strong his drive to walk is, he'll fall down 75 times in a day and still wants to walk.

What's a pull toy?

What's a pull toy?  Oh.... I get it...

pull it up to your mouth.

Myron is not only walking now he is walking with toys in hand (and sometime in mouth). He hasn't figured out how to pull the toys behind him but he sure likes the feel of Mr. Caterpillar's legs.  His front two teeth are almost here!

What Myron and Dori have in common

Hey what's this?  Broccoli?

I think I'll try it.

Eww...I don't think I like that.

Hey what's this?  Broccoli?

I think I'll try it.

Ewww... I fell for it again.

He did this about 20 times, each time to mommy's delight.  Inspect, eat and spit out. I think he got some broccoli in his tummy but only by accident.

Walking Part 1

Myron just started taking his first steps shortly before Christmas. As promised here is a video of him walking with his new christmas wagon. This was the first time he tried walking with the wagon. Clearly, he was ready.

Rebecca, Wine and Dirt!

This weekend Rebecca came to visit!  We had so much fun, we cuddled, played, walked and on Sunday I discovered dirt!

Mommy, Rebecca and Daddy tasted wine and I tasted dirt.  Somehow I think they tasted the better thing.

I walked all over the vineyard and loved it!

Little Boy Blue

After we got back from MN, I got even more presents!  This is blue outfit Catherine picked out for me... I love it!

Meet the Nybakees!

After new years we forged through a winter storm and a 494 construction closure to visit Great Grandma Stender and the Nybakees!

These are my cousins Julie and Erin.

Erin was my kind of gal, full of smiles and loved to play and share her toys.

This is my great grandma Stender, we cuddled up just a little.  I tried not to get too close as to not share my cold with her. Thanks for the hugs GG!

Sleeping in the New Year with Ivan

Our next stop in MN was Ivan's house.  Ivan and I slept in the new year and played a lot! We took baths together, played dress up together, rode a bike together and at times even ate together. I didn't make it to midnight but mommy and daddy enjoyed the hot tub while I slept.

He shared all of his wisdom with me.

  And I shared my fashion sense.

I pushed him around on his new bike. (It was so cute the two of them did about 10 laps around Amy's house, Myron would push and get excited and Ivan would ride along and get excited.)

When we were there, Amy gave me all kinds of new duds and toys, Thank you!

Visiting Sophia and Briella

While in MN, we stayed with Sophia and Briella.  It was loads of fun!  We went to Buca for Al's birthday and as you can see I ate spaghetti all by myself!

Yummy, if only I could get more in my mouth.

I hope it was good wish...because we sure got a good picture.

Briella was so tiny, she spent most of her time cuddling.

I liked looking at Briella, but daddy said I could only touch softly.... what is softly?

  Getting all three kids in one photo was difficult and getting them to look at the camera was even more difficult, here is the best shot of the bunch.

Holiday Flavors

Over Christmas I ate all kinds of things...

  fireplaces...

and ornaments with my name on them.
