Commentary on the Democratic debates

11 months and 100%....

We must have the same stylist.

Dig my shirt? Uncle Johnny had a Kawasaki -and a Yamaha. Mom says she has some crazy stories to tell me when I'm older about that. Something about that poor guy who came over to buy his YZ80 and when Uncle Johnny asked for "one more ride," well let's just say that guy went home without a YZ80.

Yo Xzibit - Check out this ride

Phat yellow wheels. Fuzzy pooh bear steering. Purple plastic bumper - all around. Tricked-out sound system in pooh's ear. This baby goes 0-2 with a 3.5 push. Ladies love when the hydraulics kick in and I just bounce -n- cruise across the playroom.
Bounce with me Bounce with me

couldn't resist

Super win for Daddy!

In a bitter sweet victory, the Giants winning TD landed daddy smack in the winning grid box! Here's to your Giants Uncle Dub!!
Of course we rooted for the Giants.. come on they were playing the Pats! J-e-t-s in '09 baby!

I did not want to go to bed that night.. all the babies went to their respective cribs - but not T! I was the last baby standing! Noa's parents had a great party!

If mommy and daddy had a baby...

If you are a research fanatic like my mommy..

Then you'll really like this website: www.safemama.com

Here's a blurb from the About page:
I found it completely overwhelming spending so much time researching safety issues for my child. I spent hours looking up Bisphenol-A or looking for the latest toy recalls. I had an “a-ha” moment and thought that I must not be the only parent scouring the Internet for information about things that affect our children. So I started this website to keep it all in one place.

Thank you safe mama, now my mama doesn't have to pretend I'm still napping so she can keep on reading her computer!

Look at me here.. Just petting Blue Dog's ears waiting for mommy to realize I'm not napping anymore.

McLovin here!

Thanks for coming over to see me cousin Missy! We had so much fun. Mom says I'm such a flirt. I don't know what she means, but she always says it when I'm around pretty girls. Dad says "that's my boy."

Say it like you mean it.

Well folks, 10 months old and mom and dad agree my first word has surfaced. I've always known the cute funny guy is my dad, but I liked saying 'da da" so much I said it to everyone and everything: the doorman, the checkout person at target, my bear, Brian Williams (mom swears she never met him).
But today I looked him square in the eye, the theme from Chariots of Fire playing, and I said it with conviction - "Daddy!"
Mom and Dad looked at each other and declared it official - Daddy is my first word. primogeniture is next.

Clean up in isle 5

I turned 10 months today and I sat in the shopping cart for the first time! I have a whole new perspective of the supermarket. It's a wonderland - the lights, the people, the balloons by the check-out (and mommy and daddy really like the freebie snacks). I think we'll come back to this fun house soon!!

Happy Birthday Maddy!

The first of our gang turned one! Maddy had a rockin' party this past weekend.

That's me and my boys deep in playoffs talk.

I loved the pink and purple boxing bags strategically placed throughout the room. Check out at my left hook.

Never too young to practice good hygiene folks

Happy Birthday Dada!

Daddy's birthday was 12/28 - and we had so much fun! We stayed in the city - right near mommy and daddy's old apartment. I went to see the tree at Rockefeller Center. It's big. Mommy and daddy had dinner w/ the Dello-Iaconos at La Esquina. They keep talking about the corn.

I really like people watching in NYC.
Happy Birthday to the BEST daddy in the world!!

Happy 2008!!!!

That's Maddy's mommy,
Mikey's mommy,
my mommy
and Manny's mommy celebrating New Years Eve last night!

I don't know why, but mommy was holding her head and saying ouch all day today.


White Plains was like a mini-Times Square. That's the view from our living room!

Happy New Year everyone!

Happy Christmakkah!!

I took my first airplane ride to Florida to see SOOO much family for the holidays: The Manns, Nonna, the Antin's, Aunt Marie, Aunt Ginny, Aunt Josie and Cousin Lee!



I'm so lucky because I celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah - Christmakkah! It rocks. I got so many presents!



Oh and I met Santa! He was just sitting there at the mall. I couldn't believe how relaxed he was. You'd think his stress level would be through the roof with all those toys to make.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmakkah too!

Look What I can do!!

A few days shy of 9 months and check me out! I'm pulling myself up on anything I can get my hands on.

And the environmentalist in me discovered a great way to reuse a diaper box. Look at me walking with it!!
Check out this video - and notice how I listen to mommy's command when she asks to see my cute face.



Some other NEW things I'm doing:
- eating finger food!
- saying mama! (not really to her, but I do make the 'm' sound now and you should've seen the floodgates open when mommy first heard it)
- drinking from my sippy cup! (the straw thing was tough to nail, but I'm getting it)
- and finishing the New York Times crossword puzzle

Feeling Strong Now!

I think my mom is confused about my crawling technique. I hear her telling people that I'm definitely crawling because I'm all over the place, but it's not so much the standard on-your-knees crawl, it's more of a military-style crawl. She knows I can do that knee thing because I sometimes fake her and daddy out and do three or four knee crawls. There's just something about pulling all my weight with my arms while sliding on my belly that just really appeals to me. I've been doing it for months now and before you know it I'll be walking - so why bother switching it up now? Check me out (and turn your volume up.)

Happy Birthday G-man!

We just celebrated my cousin Grady's 1st birthday! It was so much fun.
Aunt JJ's birthday is the day after Grady's (Nov. 28th and 29th). Aunt JJ is in China so we celebrated early.

Then we all celebrated Thanksgiving the next day at Aunt JJ's and Uncle Peter's house. My Grandma Helen and Ed and my Nonna were all there!! Mom is still thinking about the sweet potato pie. She says it was delish, but still not as good as Grandmas.

Did you know the average American consumes 5000 calories on Thanksgiving?

yo yo yo baby pop yeah you come here give me a kiss

Kissing Bandit, Play-a, 2-timer, Loverboy - call me what you want - that's OK. There's so many cute ladies all around and only one T-man. I'm just not afraid to spread the love.That's me kissing Maddy (left) just a few hours after Noa (right). Mommy says I'm so sweet, but she's wondering how long it's cool for me to kiss all the girls. I don't think dad is too worried though. When he read Baby Noa's blog about my kiss he said.."that's my boy!"
