The return of Aristotle

Wow...I've been gone awhile. Busy baby I am. Well, that and lazy ;P

So what have I been up to...I've been playing, crawling everywhere I shouldn't be, climbing over things, pulling up on whatever I can get my hands on, trying more table foods, saying "dada" to go with the "mama" I've had down for some time now (mommy finally believes they're real words now since I use them differently depending on where I am and who I want) and I've mastered getting on and off mommy & daddy's bed.

About a week or so ago I started on my stage 3 foods, and they have all kinds of new flavors, like broccoli and carrots and cheese (which smells like death but after a few bites I found to be very yummy) and Lasagna. I'm not always a fan at first, but in the end I gobble them down!

So after mommy saw that I could eat those little chunks without choking she stopped being so paranoid about table foods. (I've eaten my Gerber puffs for months and never choked on those, but she's been weird about other stuff). Well I got a little on Thanksgiving as I said in my last post, and I've had little bits of rice or beans or cheese, but last night I got all kinds of food at the buffet we went to. Oh yeah, btw, buffets rock! I kept eating and eating and eating until mommy and daddy made me leave! I had kidney beans and carrots and corn and green beans and ham and roast beef and mashed potatoes and candied yams and spinach marie and red jello and yellow cake with pink frosting and chocolate cake and carrot cake and hot fudge cake and lemon bar and vanilla froyo. (I was only allowed one bite of each cake though, which sucked because they were sooo good!) It was so awesome. Never ending food...it's like it's Xmas already! Weird though, I've been thinning out even though I've been eating more. I guess it's all that crawling!

And oh yeah, I stayed with a babysitter for the first time! Grandma couldn't watch me at the last minute the night of daddy's company's holiday party at Social Hollywood so I went to his friend Shaun's house and stayed with Shaun and Keelie for a few hours. We had fun. We looked at Graffiti books and ate Spaghetti. And Keelie has a little baby in her belly so we also looked at a book about that. And they have kitties too so I had new little critters to pet. Their kitties are a lot bigger than ours though, but just as nice! Mommy looked very sad when she left and attacked me with hugs and kisses when she got back. She's strange. I did miss her too though, I started getting anxious right before they got back but I held out like a big boy most of the night!

So I think that's it for now. Here are some random pics of me from the last week. Enjoy!

My square hands look weird in this one, but my face looks cute!
(They call me Spongebob "squarehands" because my little mitts are square.)

Isn't my foot just freakin' adorable?

They're delicious too, in case you were wondering.

Meat buzz
(I get this from daddy!)

See ya later!

The long awaited crawling video

I'm very sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days again. The router has been messed up and daddy's been working late so mommy and I only had the internet here and there.

So here is the video of me crawling, as promised. Now keep in mind this is literally about 1 minute after my first successful attempt, so my technique is a little odd, but I assure you it has improved immensely over the last few days. Practice makes perfect right? The angle is a little off so it's hard to see my belly lifted, but it is.

*Fair Warning: TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME. Mommy is on the phone with Daddy in the background as she is recording this and she is screaming like a crazy lady. (She does that a lot).

Also, here are some of the pics I promised of me being super cute in my new walker:

Well, I've come down with a nasty little cold (no fever, so the nurse at Dr. Connolly's says not to worry) so I need to drink an extra bottle to keep my fluids up and get some more rest.

Bye!

Fires! UPDATE 3

It looks like its not coming any closer for the time being. Its standing a few blocks away, the winds have switched directions for now. Hopefully they won't change again. I'd like to take my bath and go to bed soon, but things are a little hectic here now. It's a few blocks away. Here's some video Daddy took earlier.










A whole bunch of stuff by the high school mommy and daddy went to burned too.

If there's any more more major developments we'll add them, otherwise we'll let you know the outcome tomorrow.

Friday Fun Day

Mommy and I had a fun Friday today. We played and tried to nap but the telephone kept ringing! :(

I tried real bananas at lunchtime and had some cottage cheese for a snack. I like trying big boy food.

So have you seen that movie Happy Feet? Below is my interpretation, Happier Feet. *please ignore the messy room, babies mean messes.



I'm perpetually in motion if you couldn't tell already.

Well since I missed my nap today I should be heading off to bed.

Long Play Sess Today

Hello there!

So mommy and I had a looong play session today:

It was so fun though. I love to roll around and kick my brains out. They've gotta get me into soccer and swimming as soon as I'm old enough.


At one point I got so tired I gave up:

But I'm fairly easy going. Once I get what I want I'm satisfied pretty quickly:

See the jammies I'm wearing? Those are size 18 MONTHS! Mommy bought them a month or so ago because they were so cute and on sale, and was waiting for me to grow into them. Well last night it got a little warm so she decided to try them on me instead of a footsie sleeper, even if they were gonna be a little big. Lo and behold....they were snug! I'm only 6 months old! I also get a new car seat pretty soon because I'm growing out of mine. I think we'll get one next week. I have less then two pounds left to grow on the one I have.

Oh yeah...We registered littlearistotle.com, lilari.com and aristotlevega.com awhile ago and finally set them up to point here this weekend, so you can use the easier domains, whichever you wish, in the future. Things take forever around here these days but it's finally done.

Well, anyway, it's time for me to go now. I've got baby things things to do!

BLECK!

I tried chicken noodle dinner last night :(

At least mommy gave me Banana Yogurt for dessert.
