The Duck Tub Incident

Here I was, just playing in my duck tub on mommy and daddy's bed, pretending I was sailing in my boat on Lake Victoria...just like my daddy and his yellow boat. Too bad his is always broken. Maybe I can take him in mine next time!



It was an exciting ride...full speed ahead...!




Yeah, I keep my cool even in the most dangerous waters. This is my "i've got it under control" look.




..But sometimes accidents happen and you just have to laugh at yourself!





This is how I call for help when me and my duck tub get in sticky situations. I call it, flailing the arms and legs. My mom is always sure to come to my rescue. She's a great swimmer, even in these treacherous waters.

I'm the big Eight...months that is

Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog. I just wanted to tell you all about my day at the Zoo and how fun it is to be 8 months old. And by the way, waving is the in thing these days. It can also be my way of asking for a high five, or to play patty cake. It's cool to be 8 mo.




First of all, we saw a big lion roaming around in his big cat cage. And let me tell you , when it's only a chain link fence between you and a wild beast like that, it's a little unnerving. My mom wouldn't even let me get within 5 feet of the big guy. Security in African Zoo's aren't very reassuring.




Here's the big guy pacing back and forth, looking a little bored. Didn't see any girl cats around the lair, so no one to impress I guess.

The 8 month pose. Sitting up and taking it all in!



The monkey's were my absolute favorite. My dad taught me that monkey's say, "ooh ooh ah ah" and it was so funny that I laughed and laughed. Some of them were even running free around the compound. If I had legs that were working, i'd probably "monkey around" right along with them.



Observing the chimpanzees. I saw two of them playing in the trees, and when they jumped on a branch that was too small for them they tumbled to the ground and climbed right back up the tree. Silly Monkey's.



Dashing smile, isn't it? Say cheese. (notice my two bottom pearly whites)




I didn't even notice it until I saw the picture that there was a really cool bird walking behind me. It's actually Uganda's country bird.



I had sooo much fun taking my parents to the zoo. It's good for them to remember how to be kids again.



Well, that's all for now. Peace out!

Catching Up...6 and 7 Months

Sorry that I haven't been around to catch you up on my ever changing life...but we're lacking internet access since we moved.


This is me and my mom with our new dog Shep. The previous renters moved away and let us keep him. He's an old guy, but he's a great guard dog!


My dad and I were hanging out and taking pictures when I turned 6 months old. I guess it was kind of like a mini birthday party.



This is my new house. It's really cool especially because I get my own bedroom (see below) and it the yard is like the garden of eden with fruit trees galore!


Here I am goofing around at 7 months old. I'm sitting up now and even starting to get some teeth. The Ugandans tell me I can now start eating meat. I'm so excited!


What a handsome 7 month old I am!


By the way, I love reading books. I must be a genius or something!


I love to smile and laugh and say "ma ma" and "ba ba". Trying out my new "words" is so exciting.


And here it is...my new room with giraffe tent and all. I'm working on crawling so that I can actually use my cool tent. So many things to look forward to.

My Dad's First Father's Day

Me and my dad are like two peas in a pod!




I love my dad because he's so fun.




He flies me around in the air like an airplane.




And tells me that i'm his favorite son!




Gumming mommy's chin was a good way to involve her in the father's day festivities.

The Good Stuff

My first bite of cereal. Mmmmm. I love it.





Give me more mom!




I'm using my car seat for a high chair at the moment.




I have to make the experience better by getting it all over my face.




Dad joined in the fun too!

5 Months


Look at me, I'm getting so big! With mommy's help I can even sit up.



I'm even learning how to stand, although I won't be walking for quite some time.


I'm sure a handsome little five month old.



It sure is fun living in Africa! I just love to laugh every chance I get. (Especially when mom and dad tickle me.)



I love hanging out with my dad. He's the best.
