highchair moments

nanu cass & grammie lee lee sent along these pictures of us as babies. thank you :-)

hey dadda...day 6

so momma has me playing with this sad invention of toy...but it makes me smile & wave for the camera. today has been a short nap day at daycare, less than one hour. can you tell?

monte & boogaboo

monte was quite entertained with his new book, a gift from Rollie/Teri Jo...friends from baby class.

day 5...dear dadda

this daylight savings has me all confused; getting up at 4am is tough on me I tell ya! momma fell asleep in the rocking chair again, hehehe. me, just catching up on some sleep with my third nap of the day totaling FIVE big hours. this teething thing, being in baby class, rocking back & forth on my knees... very busy, busy day indeed.

Music Class

Monte loves class, his teacher Ted & the big pumpkins to lick. We (I) am learning loads about music & how much fun singing to babies can be!!

day 4... dadda rescue me

momma was cooking up something weird in the kitchen tonight...yukko!

playdate with Zach

hanging over at zach's crib & playing with their choc lab Molly. boy does she lick babies a lot but that's ok...monte screeched a lot & it ended up being zach's nap time.

dear dadda...day 3

hi dadda. this is from our peak park, where you planted two trees....of course with momma's help. i know you'll bring me here a lot.

dear dadda...day 2

hi dadda...momma is now making me take out the recycling while you are away. not fair. luckily i know where to hide my paper-toys so she doesn't toss them.

rabbit teeth coming

Can you see the new tooth? On his left side, it just popped through. The right side is not too far behind. And a happy & healthy gap between these new pearly whites...our little rabbit. One up & one down, both on the left side, ouch for Momma :-[

dear dadda....day 1

today was OK, but i like it when you read me stories. me sleepy, good night.

open season

Monte sporting his new hat just in time for the colder weather.

happy halloween

Strolling around Cap. Hill during Halloween rush hour with our little devil. Between my brother-in-laws killer cocktails & the camera flash, I could hardly keep my eyes open.

Of course Grammie Lee Lee was quite impressive as a red head; who would of thought it wasn't her real hair color!

Giggle Attack

Couldn't resist his tummy & capturing his cute giggles on camera. He is our happy little fella.

Enjoying the Japanese Tea Garden

Our first time at the Garden after how many years of living in Seattle?!? It is just beautiful there, very inspiring for my upcoming landscape design work. Lief is sporting our hand-me-down backpack from the LA cousins (thanking you). Monte is sporting Momma's bright orange hat from Seattle sister (thanking you).

Camera...good

Monte is no stranger to the camera & indulges his Dadda every time with a happy face or eager curiosity to eat the machine itself.

Out at the Pumpking Patch

Enjoying the unusually sunny stretch of Pacific Northwest fall weather & went out for our first pumpkin patch farm adventure.

Fun in the Swing

Fun in the Swing from liefowitz on Vimeo.

Fun to swing along with Aunt Mishy, cousins Ruby & Gus at the Zoo playground. Monte is a bit of a novice & has not figured out what to do with his arms or hands quite yet. Fall weather is creeping up quickly; making the most of it before daylight savings steals away our afternoon playground time.

Enjoying Fall

So we have geared up for the colder weather with our little routines for walks, playground time & enjoying Monte's new giggles.
