Happy & Healthy

After surviving a rough week, Mommy treated me with a trip to the zoo this morning. Not only did I feed the animals their food, I also happened to feed it to myself, much to Mommy's dismay. Here I am on the spider web again looking mighty healthy.

Getting Back to Normal

Today was my first day out and about since I got sick earlier this week. It was so nice to get some fresh air. Here I am this morning contemplating a tennis match with Mommy.

Mommy thought tennis would be a little too much activity for me, so we compromised on a mid-morning snack.

Thanks so much to all my friends who got in touch to check in on me. It was so nice of you guys to think of me. I missed playing with everyone this week and can't wait to see you all soon!

Missing Rainboots on a Rainy Day

Here's a clip of the T-Man and I stomping in a rain puddle before I was house bound. Today, I slept all day today and am finally starting to feel better. At this point I would happily do without snuggles in the big bed just to get back to normal.

Bad Ear, Good Spirits

Its been a rough couple of days for me so far. Yesterday morning I woke up feeling all out of sorts. I feel asleep in the middle of the living room, so Mommy took me to the doctor's office. This is the look I gave her when I found out that I have my first ear infection.

Elmo and my trusty pacifier have been helping me get through the tough moments. According to Mommy, we need all the help that we can get....

Aside from refusing all medicines and boycotting all foods, I have been in pretty good spirits. Since I have been such a trooper, Mommy has let some of the rules slide. My favorite indulgence has been taking all my naps snuggling with her in the big bed...its the best part of being sick.

Brooklyn....Again

On Saturday we took a field trip to Coney Island for some hot dogs and a visit to the aquarium. After an unexpected two hour subway ride, the first thing we did was have lunch. I was very excited to have my first Nathan's hot dog.

One of my favorite books is Pigeon Wants a Hot Dog, and Pigeon always gets my mouth watering with all his talk about hot dogs. I was not disappointed, it was everything I thought it would be. Daddy was not nearly as impressed as I was and is planning a trip to Chicago just to visit Weiner Circle.

After lunch we visited the aquarium. I had a great time looking at all the animals and fish in their tanks. I did get a little scared by a walrus, but really enjoyed watching the stingrays.

Here I am watching the sea otter do all his tricks in the water.

Flashback Sundays

You would never know it now, but last year at this time I couldn't get around on my own. I was pretty stuck most of the time. Tummy time was always a tortuous event for me and Mommy always made me practice for at least ten minutes. Here I am probably in the first five minutes because I haven't shown my displeasure yet.

I did like to practice standing up like a big boy though. It was a whole new perspective and I loved it. Here I am with Daddy showing off for the camera.

Around this time last year I started Gymboree twice a week, once with Mommy and once with Daddy. Here I am at my first class with a nervous Daddy. Mommy came along for moral support.

Before I was born and still in Mommy's belly, Na Tab had Mysterio predict what my future profession would be....According to him I will become a dog show judge, Miss Yai was hoping for doctor.

Taking Care of Business....All Week

Although I had a wonderful time in Greece, it is always nice to come home. I had a little trouble with jet lag on the first night, but I adjusted pretty quickly. It felt good to sleep in my own crib, play with my toys and see all my buds.

Here we are having a mini-reunion at the playground.

Mommy was very busy this week taking care of business, so we really didn't do much but go to the playground and catch up with our friends. It got so much cooler it got back home while I was away, I was shocked that I needed to pull out my sweaters!
