Christmas Wrap

I started out my Xmass week with a little recital at school

I don't think anyone appreciated my singing voice





I spent the rest of the week with Grandma, shopping and doing fun things


When it came time to unwrap the presents I was super excited
Santa brought me many wonderful things, as did my Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles

Mixer trucks get me pretty excited

Mom is funny about presents

Santa brought me a cool green bike




After all the excitement of the morning it was time to fill our bellies
and reflect on all the great gifts I received

Well I guess Dad has finally seen fit to update my blog, I've been telling him for a week to stop focusing on himself and do something I want him to do.

I learned how to say Shhh, thats pretty cool.. its one of the things Dad tells the dogs all the time..and I'm close to saying Paolo, cause Dad is always yelling at Paolo to go to his bed during my dinner time.

I'm not walking yet but I'm getting into plenty of mischief.. Dad says I'm getting grabby. Anything I can reach I grab. MOm and Dad chase me around the house trying to put the place together while I pull it apart.

I don't think these guys can ever get this place Ethan proof as I am all seeing and of course all grabbing.

I had my first real paid baby sitter, I've had people watch me before but never hired hand. Lucy is my official sitter, don't try to get her contact info.. she is mine and I'm not willing to share.

Saturday we went for a family ride with some new friends from MOm's mom group. Christine and Drew came over with little Lance in tow and we rolled up Emigration Canyon.. Everyone that passed Dad and Drew comment on how tuff they were cause they were dragging us up the canyon. I can just barely fit into my new Giro Spree, cause my Dad is cool I get to rock the 2010 products..my helmet has the new One Step fit system and flashing lights on the back...and construction vehicle graphics!
I want to start a Chariot racing club so all the dads can go head to head.. it should be a category for USA cycling... Imagine Sugarhouse Crit with Chariots!

Anyway, enjoy the meager update that Dad was willing to post for me...here are some photos to make up for the thousands of word Dad should have written last week.

Looking out my back door

Mornings are really nice these day, cool and crisp, lots of birdies chirping and hunting for worms in the back yard...I would think they would have given up by now as Dad didn't water the lawn for a month so the soil is not really conducive to worm living.

Either way I like to take in the sights and sounds of the back yard.

My other favorite thing to do is check out bikes, especially the chain..bikes are like an awesome mobile with cool parts that spin and make click sounds.

where did the week go?

I can't believe it has been a week since my last post. Its been pretty rainy here.. with moments of sun. I've been doing my normal activities, going to the park, little gym, strolling around the neighborhood... On friday I went with Dad and Shaun to Sugarhouse park for some Boccie, that was pretty cool.


Today is family day and the weather looks nice, perhaps we'll go for a ride or go to the park for a swing.
Winnie thinks my chair is pretty comfortable. He likes to rest in my chair after I have my milks

9month check up

I turned 9month the other day, so we scheduled a check up with Dr. Peter. I'm progressing like a natural baby, so thats good.



Yesterday MOm took me for a drag to the park to go swinging. It was her first time dragging the Chariot, she liked it.. you know I liked it.



Who needs toys when Dad's toys are so entertaining!

Ice Cream

Yesterday we went for a walk into Sugarhouse, First to the bike shop and then to Maggie Moo's for Ice cream. Ice cream kinda confuses me, I don't like how it's so cold but it taste so good.

In the evening I helped Dad in the garage, he needed to get his bike dialed in, as you can see I'll teeth on anything..duh.

LOOK! Race bikes

Last week Dad let me help build his new race bike, since he let me help with the build, I'm letting him post pictures here today.. One bike is for racing with people over hills and around corners(pic 1) and one is for drag racing by yourself(pic 2).



Dad will be using them both today and then doing another stage tomorrow, hopefully his bikes are fast cause we want him to get some Diaper Money.


By the way, I learned to clap yesterday.. stay tuned for the video.. it's sure to make you coo.
