When the weather is kinda yucky, mama takes me to this place full of stuff and people. I get a little excited and fall all over myself just to get in the gym and play!

danger?

Papa and I have a secret club. It's just for boys. And seeing how we're the only members and also both boys we do stuff only boys would do. Mama, if you get scared while watching close your eyes and when the music is over you can look again.

When It's Nice Out

When it's sunny here in Seattle we like to go to different playgrounds and play. This playground has lots of really different and fun playground "equipment" including a bronze statue of the kids' book character, Good Dog Carl. On this particular nice day I'm exploring and checking out all the stuff at the playground, but I'm not totally sure of Carl.

Mama bought me a colander and a big spoon for sifting & digging in the wood chips and sand. I guess with those tools I could also play "kitchen" or "restaurant", huh?

Here I am checking out the cool texture on the playground equipment.

Big Boy Kieran

Here are some pictures of me playing at the playroom at the Mosaic Coffee Shop a week or so ago.
Mama thought it was unusual that I was crouched down behind the train table.

But then I started chewing on it, and it all started to make sense to her. (She also found a surprise in my diaper later and that made sense too!)

Here I am concentrating on the cars and trucks on the table.

Mama thinks I look like such a big boy in my new (2nd hand) sneakers that she bought me. Especially when I'm climbing up on the shelves to find the toys I'm looking for. What do you think?

Zoo Date - Mama, Mia & Me

So Miss Mia took a good long nap in the stroller while we were at the zoo, but I was really happy to see her when she woke up. I just wanted to shower her with attention, oh and play with the buckly on the stroller a bit too.




After Mia woke up, Papa took this really cute video of Mama, Mia, & me. This was St. Patrick's Day...I was the little Leprechaun at the Zoo!

Zoo Date - Me & Papa

In this picture Papa & I were watching the silly River Otters.

The silly River Otters were playing on this log and in the water below it.

Here Papa & I are posing for Mama in front of some cool Mountain Goat terrain.

We saw some Elk...

and black bears (they were resting)...

and 2 really cool looking wolves, but Mama was only able to catch one in a picture.

Here's some video of Papa & I, right after I got down from the back pack and was stretching my legs. Papa was showing me the wild strawberries growing on the side of the path.

Zoo Date - In the Car

Yesterday, Papa, Mama & I picked up my girlfriend Mia and we went to the zoo together. We made a "pit stop" on the way there to get Mama & Papa some "fuel". Here you'll see Mia and I in all our cuteness. Oh, and you'll get to see me and my favorite new word - "No, No, No." (Mama & Papa don't find this so cute all the time.)

We were holding hands and let Mama catch it in a photo!

Berry, Berry Silly

On Friday Papa took some frozen berries and put them in the blender with some yogurt and juice and made a very yummy thing. It was so yummy that it made us all berry, berry silly!

Here are some still photos of my silly face:

another bath

Here's a bath i took back in December.

bath time again

Mama says she's a loves the water and is a fish and so am I! I usually bath until mama says I am a prune though.
I don't bath as often as I like which would be every time we go into the bathroom.

The Jack & Bongo Show - Episode 2

So you saw Bongo's episode, where he thinks he's a european soccer star. Well, this video shows off Jack, who is much more of a star outfielder. He's had better days at ball practice, but alas, we didn't catch those days on video. But you'll get the idea. I, of course, have my choice cameo appearances, as usual.

The Jack & Bongo Show

So, I know I usually am the star in these blogs, but recently, when the weather has cooperated, I've been hanging out with Mama & Papa in the dog pen with my "brothers" Bongo & Jack. Papa put together a mini-series, starring them, with me having lots of prime co-starring time!

This first one is mainly about Bongo, who sometimes thinks he's a european soccer star. Mama started calling him Bongo Minetti, as if he were from Italy. He's a silly dog that Bongo is!

At the Beach - I See Water

After "helping" Papa tend to the fire and the grill, I realized something...across the beach, there was water (the Puget Sound). I saw water! I LOVE WATER! I must get to the water...I will just walk right in and start playing.

hmmm....Mama didn't agree with me. Thought maybe I should wait til the weather got warmer. Darn! It didn't stop me from going as close to the water as Mama would let me...and listen carefully, because I'm chattering in excitement the whole time.

At the Beach - Papa Builds a Fire

So, to add to the excitement of being at the beach in February, Papa brought along our camping grill and also built a fire on the beach! We had hamburgers from the grill and warmed ourselves around the fire. I was playing in the sand with Zayden and Costello when I realized that Papa was up to something fun without me. It took me a couple tries to get out of the sand hole we were playing in, but with a little help from Kelly I headed over to be Papa's "assistant".

At the Beach...in February!

So back in the middle of February we had a few really amazingly sunny days. On this particular day, it was really sunny and dry, but later in the day so getting a little chilly again, but we decided to go to the beach and play in the sand with our friends Kelli and her 2 kids, Zayden & Costello. Mama forgot my hat, so she put hers on my head with the earflaps down and kind of looking like wings. Zayden is like a big sister to me and has a great laugh that I love. Costello also has a great laugh and is quite silly, which I love.

crazy legs

Here's some video of Papa and I dancing...I mean getting ready for bed...ummm....well, having fun.

Me & Costello

Me & Gus

About 7 months ago our neighbors Josh & Shelley had a baby named Gus (short for Gustav). Shelley & Gus stopped by the other day for a little visit and he & I were having fun together on Papa's lap. I kinda look like the big brother in this video. AND...if you think I'm adorable, wait til you see Little Gus! (Oh, and you can also check out the new titles and credits that Papa created! Totally fun, huh?)
