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!!)

Fun with mom

Sometimes he asks for a walk in the stroller... in the apartment. This time I decided to surprise him, pull the stroller backward, and tickle his neck! My sweet boy loved it!

Family Time

Admiring the Space Needle with Dada.

Spending time with cousins.

Nice spending time with Great-Grandma, aka Gigi.

Loving the cuddles with Grandma and Pa.

August Recap

One Year On

This blog is a year and a few weeks old. I haven't posted a picture a day, but I managed to keep it up to date pretty well. Going forward I will post 1 or 2 pictures per week, on Sundays.

Blurry Cute

One day I'll learn to take good pictures!
