bubbles.

Summer + Toddler = Bubbles! Grandma Joy brought over bubbles the girls had a great time blowing them at Isaac. He just wanted to pop them all!

related?

Do you see it? I SO see the resemblance! Eric just laughs at me and doesn't see it, but sitting on the floor today, looking up at my two boys - it was so remarkable.

Happy Birthday Carly!

To our beautiful niece Carly ~

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY!!

We celebrated with family dinner at Ferraro's in Ventura and will party at the local pizza/arcade this week.

Love you!
Aunt Jen, Uncle Eric, & Cousin Isaac

snuggle time.

We love snuggling with Daddy. So precious.

precious.

How can you not love this face?!

Mommy & Me.

Isaac & I had our first Toddler/Mommy & Me class.

Since Day 1 he has always been clingy - nothing changed when we entered the class. He was unsure for the first 15 minutes, got much better once he was able to play on the playground. Hung out with our friend Kira.

Around snack time, the sleepy eyes set in. Yet, he was a champ, hung in for another hour and passed out in the car.

I am looking forward to a fun semester and hopefully meeting some cool new friends.

bath time.

naked time.

This is how we like to watch tv in the evening...

He just loves naked time :)

India.

Eric had to travel to India for 7 days - commence operation single parent week for me. Thank goodness for Skype and Google Voice - free internet and video calling - we are able to chat with Daddy through the week.

This morning (Eric's evening) we had a nice chat.

Blowing Daddy kisses good-bye.

We can't wait for Eric to get home soon and safe!!

I LOVE this smile - cue belly laugh

travel town.

Isaac is totally into trains. So we headed down to Travel Town in Griffith Park by the LA Zoo. He loved all the old trains and after a few tears, was cool with the train ride.

He really loved pointing out all the trains to Daddy and picking up pine cones.

Couldn't end the day without getting a train from the gift shop. He didn't put it down for a week. That's a LONG time in toddler-hood, lol.

Till next time...

chalk.

He loved carrying around all the chalk more than coloring with it, but he liked that too.

He pretty much found anything to color on... including Kaya


Love this kid!

18 months.

Our son is 1.5 years old, 18 months. Wow.

We had our well baby visit with the Pediatrician and here are out stats:

Height - 33 inches, 71st percentile
Weight - 27 pounds, 72nd percentile

The pediatrician said she rarely sees them match up like that.

At the doctors, he cried of course, but still stayed in my lap and let the doctor do her thing. Two shots were given - I hated it more than him...then he slept for 2 hours. This was MUCH better than the 12 month check-up. Great- Grandma was with me and we had lunch with my Girlfriend Shoshana. The Doc said the "terrible two's" start about 18 months - oh lordy.

Otherwise he is doing great. She is not worried about the language thing (or lack thereof), not until 2yrs at least. Continuing with the whole milk until 2 and no need to worry about potty training until 2.

Before we know it, his birthday will be here. We love you buddy!!

Playtime.

Playtime is fun with friends. Kyla is a little older and super cute! They went to the duck park and then Underwood Farms with some other friends of the Mommies.

They are too cute with their snack cups


Playing on the playground


Running through the Underwood Tunnel (one of my favorites)


Playing on the train - with an awesome smile!

little drummer boy.

Our kid has the music gene. Daddy was a drummer and trumpet player. Mommy was a dancer. It was only a matter of time...
