Christmas Gifts

Two (or three)-Faced Toddler!

Old MacDonald...

Still a Baby

Super Grover 2.0

 Hello, this is I...

 LEO / GROVER 2.0! Yes, I am a super hero.

I UNLEASH the power of observation... What is this big fluffy thing? Oh, that's Lala!

 I UNLEASH the power of investigation... Can I try to walk like Superman on walls? Nope.

I UNLEASH the power of technology. And magic. Look at this. Now you see me... now you don't!

 And then I super cuddle with mom. Every hero needs cuddles to get more super powers, don't you know?

 Then I UNLEASH the power of being cute. It usually works pretty well on my parents.

 My super work is indeed done. All in a good day's work!

In Good Hands

On Friday Joe and I went to the Leonard Cohen's concert (it was awesome!). Michael came to our place to monitor sit. Léo LOVES Michael -and Michael loves him right back. Can you tell?

Cookie?

He was Cookie Monster for halloween. Well, that's the costume we bought, but he refused to wear it. He cried and cried and so we gave up. Oh well!

The many faces of Léo

Museum with a friend

The Artist

We bought him a drawing table. He does fine with paper but he still eats crayons and markers. This table has a chalkboard top and Léo spent the majority of the day drawing with the chalk -no mess on the carpet and a happy boy... win-win!

Typical Sunday

 Trying to master eating with a spoon at breakfast.

 Little cuddle time with the dogs. Then a nap.

 Morning football time with dad. Then monorail to downtown and walk back home. Lunch. Nap. He's still on 2 naps at home but that might end soon.

 A little jam and dance session with dad's phone.

 Chill / cuddle time in the hallway after a good time at the playground.

 Same with dad.

 After dinner, play time.

 Face Time with grandma and grandpa. Yesterday morning we skyped with mamie in France!

End of day. This little boy is tired -and watching a Sesame Street song again and again and again. Then sleep time! That was one good day.

Vacation!

 Self portrait on the plane. Not bad!

 At the pool. 

 At the beach. He's not yet fond of the water or the sand.

Serious Léo.

Hamming it up for the camera!

(Obviously I know the light behind is a nuisance but I wasn't about to move and ask them to "do it again" just for the camera!!)
