Now I'm a big 4 month old I moved on to rice cereal. This morning was the first time I tried it and it went down the hatch.

I saw the sea! My retinue and I went to Half Moon Bay, a quaint town on the Pacific Ocean with good seafood. The retinue bought fresh clams and crabs for a paella.

And next year I want a ride on a pretty colored floating thing instead of this wheeled one.

Uncle Greg helps me learn about planes. This is the Plane of Frustration. I can hold it, move it and make it crash but I cannot fit the whole plane in my mouth. [Try it when you're crying. ed]

Grandpa and I inspect my favourite mexican sage bush on the way to a trip around the park.

I think every little boy needs a grandma who peeks out the door to check that he is warm enough.

Grandparents only

You only need to watch this video of me if you're my grandparents. I'm kicking my legs, then making a gargle sound, some more leg kicking, a chirp, followed by left kick, left kick, left kick, right kick, extend and point, gargle, gargle, leg kicks, leg kicks, chirp, ahhhh, leg kick, gaaaaaa, kicks, kick, click. [once you've read the book you don't need to see the movie -ed]

I've been putting on weight and getting chubby [we've all been gaining weight at the Sheraton Schulein - ed.]

Go west, young man

Me and TOTFM^* getting ready to fly to California. I'm going to Grandparents Schu and also going see to great grandma Schu.

4.5 hours on the plane. Will I be a happy flier?


^*For those who came in late, TOTFM = The one that feeds me

I think I look better without that hat.

I'm getting out and about in style. The car is comfortable and includes a driver and photographer
