Zelma

Mommy loves her "El Monte Grandma" and we always visit her grave. This time I helped Mommy decorate it with rocks and pine cones. We have trouble getting flowers to grow, so rocks may be a good idea. This was the first visit for Lily!

Horses with Levi

Here's my cousin Levi again. He has very cool horses! And those are his parents--Ali and Seth. 

Trip to Pasadena

We went down to Pasadena to visit Mimi and for Mommy to go to her 25th high school reunion! It was fun. These pics are from Kidspace with Mimi (thanks, Leslie!).

Tulips!!

Mom loves tulips and taking pics. Here's some of her faves.

Baby eyes

Big baby eyes (and tiny teeth)!

Mommy and Baby

Mommy and Baby are pretty cute. Sometimes I get jealous when Mommy holds the baby, but we talk about it and I usually end up feeling better. Lily likes kisses and snuggles!

Brother and Sister

Bath time!

I love to take baths with my little sis. I am a gentle big brother. We even play with my soccer ball int he bath sometimes and push it back and forth between us! Sometimes we are in the baths together and sometimes the baby goes in my old, pink bath duck!

Milestones for the littlest one

I have a little sister now. She's pretty cool most of the time. Now Mommy is pretty busy and hasn't been posting near enough. Here is an update on the milestones of my baby:

1. Rolling over: 4 months
2. Eating solid food: 5.5 months
3. Sitting up: 7 months
4. First tooth: 7 monts
5. Commando crawling: 8.5 months
6. Getting from crawling to sitting: 9 months
7. Putting small pieces of food in her mouth: 9 months

She's currently 9 months!

Looking cute!

My little sister is pretty funny!

Sitting up!

Here is my little sister in the park. She is pretty awesome at sitting up!

Bestest buddy

I LOVE hanging out with Aidan. We usually have lunch together on Saturdays and then go to FROG park to scooter and generally clown around.

Levi!

This is my cousin Levi and his mom Ali! He is very cool. He's 2.5 years old and lives on a cool farm in Vermont.

Lily's Baby Group

Lily has a baby group that gets together some Fridays. It is always a blast. We meet with Ryan and Ben, Nina and Felix, Meredith and Vivi, Simone and Greta and sometimes Sarah and Edith. Yay babies! One time we went to the Greek festival and another time to the Kaiser garden near Lake Merritt. We are a wild and crazy bunch.

Trip to Murphys with Aidan!

We visited Zelma's grave in Murphys and Niko and Aidan help provide decorations. We always try to keep up with growing wild flowers, but are rarely successful. The decorative rocks look like a better option.

Lily slept through many of the long car rides. Phew!

Ice cream right before we left Copperopolis for Oakland. Yum!

Lily got a diaper change after the fun train ride.

Niko and Aidan loved the train ride in Jamestown. Niko said that was his second favorite part of the trip (after the early birthday transformers Keri got him).

Silly boys on the train!

Ice cream was a fun part of the trip (this time frozen yogurt in waffle cones in Murphys).

Mommy and Lily on the train.

Our whole family along with Keri and Aidan took off for Memorial Day weekend to Murphys. We had a fantastic time! Niko and Aidan played in the Murphys play ground, Keri and Anne went shopping and squeezed in a little wine tasting. Stoycho got some time with the iPad. Niko and Aidan even went swimming in the cold pool. Lily worked on her crawling/commando skills and succeeded in getting to a seated position from a lying one. You go girl! We tried to go on a hike in Big Trees, but got thwarted by some rain. Fun was had by all.
