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.

I'm Four Months Old

Here I am on my 4 month birthday getting all clean and groomed for my special day!

Today was also Mother's Day, so me and my mom took our picture together.

Then my Dad had a great idea to take us all swimming at the pool. I had never gone swimming before so I wasn't sure what to think when my mom started putting white cream all over my face. I didn't know getting ready for the pool could be so much fun!

My first dip in the water. I didn't get a very good nap that day, so I was kind of cranky after the first lap or so.

I'm sure glad my parents introduced me to such a wonderful recreation. Next time we go swimming i'll have to bring my rubber ducky and my floaty. I had a super 4 month birthday and I think my mom had a fun mother's day!

My Basin

I like to sit in my basin and watch mommy wash clothes...

I was all ready for the outdoors with my sunhat on.

I even sit in my basin and watch mommy cook dinner. Boy, i'm sure glad I have this handy tool.

Sometimes I even like to sit in my bathtub with my clothes on. I laugh and laugh because it's so funny.

One day, my mom took this picture of me sleeping with my bum in the air. How embarrassing!

The Pilgrim Way

The beginning of our trip to Plymouth started off kind of bad because my parents were feeling a little crabby...ha ha. Get it?

The exciting part was gettting to see the Mayflower up close and personal. We took the full tour and got to meet Myles Standish and the pilgrims themselves! They all told me I was about the same age as my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather would have been this time of year in 1620.

A great picture with my mom and dad and great Aunt Chris and Great Uncle Steve. What a great family I have!

The Mayflower II (A replica of course)

It's tradition at the end of a long day to throw in the towel and take a nap...whewww. I sure am having a great time here visiting the place of my heritage though!

"Bean Town"

Here I was, ready to explore what they call "Freedom Trail" in Boston. Come with me and i'll take you on a little tour of the sites..but of course i'm the only one who gets to ride in the stroller.

Here I got my picture taken with a real minute man. I looked real close though and I could tell his long hair was fake. hmmmm....



Along the trail we saw the graves of lots of famous people. My parents told me that Paul Revere was famous for riding his horse around the city and shouting that the British were coming. What a great history lesson!



This guy William was one of my ancestors. His wife had the first baby born on the Mayflower who happens to be my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Tomorrow we get to go to Plymouth and see the Mayflower in person. I'm so excited!





Here's just a cool shot of the city.

On the way home, my dad and I took a little nap in the car. Like father like son I guess.



When we got home my dad and I played "look who's in the mirror". It was so much fun. I sure am a handsome little kid!
