11 Months and Serious About Snacks

Diego has one more month of baby-dom and can't wait to run with the big kid crowd. Well, "run" is a bit of a stretch. Although mom and dad are pretty sure he could walk if he desired, as he has that balance thing down, Diego is showing little interest in taking solo steps. But, that doesn't mean the little guy can't get around! He does plenty of walking with the aid of a couch, wall, cat, ottoman, etc.



Diego continues to rack up words in his burgeoning vocabulary. Some of his current favorites are clock, truck, trees, nose, teeth, fish, dog, Cheerios, cup, cracker, daddy, and "bap bap!" That last one is used for either a car horn, a dog's bark or the microwave timer. Notice that "Mama" is not listed. She is often referred to as "cat." Great, whatever, she's totally fine with that.

Diego has also been practicing his truffle pig imitation:

That's a spicy meatball!

Thank you for the froggie toy Auntie Courtenay!

Ravenna thanks you too.

10 Months in Boulder

Last week Diego paid a visit to his peeps in Colorado. He was very excited to see everyone especially Grandma, Pop, Uncle Josh, Aunt Ali and Aunt Nena. He also tested the baby-proofedness of Grandma's living room and discovered something called a Wii controller. Interesting.

Although direct sunshine involves mom coming at him with sunscreen and hats, Diego really enjoyed making the most of the warm weather by bearing his bits and swimming in a horse trough. Diego loves Uncle Josh because he's very good swimming company, but also because he has the same haircut.



Diego also helped Pop celebrate Father's Day by eating snow cones and a mango on a stick. Pop was so inspired by the mango treat, that he has become the new Mr. Mango Pop model.



All in all Diego had a great time in Boulder. To see the rest of the photo set, click here.
