Yesterday was my 2nd birthday celebration! Grandma, Grandpa, Nana and Papa all came out to visit. And Uncle Mike, Auntie Sarah, and of course, Mom, Dad and Chubs were there, too.
First, we had brunch at Marie Callender’s, my favorite restaurant to happily scream in. Then we went home to open presents and eat sandwiches and cake! (Well, everyone else ate sandwiches and cake. I ate prunes!)
Thank you, everyone, for the gifts and for celebrating with me!
This is what we look like on the very first day of 2015! And this is what we looked like on the very first day of 2014.
Here we are waiting for mom to set up the camera.
Yesterday, we went to Griffith Park to search for a tree that people call The Giving Tree. And we found it! Unlike the Shel Silverstein book, it’s still a whole tree and not just a stump.
Yesterday morning, I got to open a whole bunch of presents! I’ll be showing more of them to you in the days to come, but here you see the puzzles that my cousins, The Isabel’s, got me. Also the colored pencils and train set mom and dad got me, as well as the chalkboard Nana and Papa got me. Thanks, everyone!
Yesterday I had physical therapy in the morning, so when I got home to see Nana and Papa, I just wanted to eat! So we hung in while I ate up my fruit and yogurt, then I helped Papa watch videos on his computer.
Nana and Papa are here to visit for a couple of days, so I’m showing them everything Los Angeles has to offer. Mom and I took Nana to the park, then I showed Papa the street we live on from the balcony.
We wandered around the Venice Canals yesterday. Someone tell the people who live here to go out on their boats more often because it seems really nice!
Uncle Mike came with us to the beach over the weekend and I touched the ocean for the first time! I loved it. In fact, I was pretty angry when we left.
Like mother, like son!

Sometimes mom takes pictures with her iPhone and posts them to Instagram. Since some of my loyal followers don’t use Instagram, I figured I’d post a few here from our east coast trip:

Asleep on Uncle Mike’s childhood bed / Sitting by the deck in Rockland
The beach at Eastman Lake / Hiding behind the curtains in my bedroom in New Hampshire
