more beach photos

hi everybody!

ema tells me that we're off on another adventure today -- we're driving up to mama and papo's house tonight, and then we'll be in philly for a couple of days, where ema and daddy will be going to a big, geeky conference. on friday night, ema and i are going to meet dodo karen in newark and we're going all the way to israel! i'm very excited!

but, before i head off, here are some more pictures from our beach week, just like i promised.

i wanted this little boy's wagon so badly that i was willing to take him as part of the package:


this is baby ryno (ryan) and his mommy, sally.

for some reason, baby ryno really liked the taste of the sand (what a beach rookie!)

and finally, one of me after we got back home. i don't like to do anything without my "choo choo hat" or my "seth shoes"

the beach!

hi everybody! i just got back from spending a week at the beach with ema, daddy, mama (grandmom), papo (grandpa), matmo (uncle matt), enshell (aunt michelle), sarah (daddy's cousin), and tooer (daddy's cousin stuart, aka: not matmo, what that).

we had a great time! ema will post some more photos soon, but here are a couple that grandmom sent us:

running commentary

the latest trend with our little guy is his non-stop running commentary. for example, when i'm trying to read him a book, i have to squeeze the narrative into the short breaks between his comments, such as, "devon turn page now," and "ema reading book." during lunch today, he was careful to account for everybody's whereabouts in the house: "chachi downstairs now. ema downstairs, devon downstairs, daddy upstairs now, chachi downstairs, ema-devon downstairs."

sometimes i prod him into one of his many narratives, such as "chachi sick carpet. papo (grandpa) clean up. papo-mama (grandpa and grandma) bye-bye blue car." other times, i ask him to tell me about people's eyes. he knows that "devon has blue eyes," and, "daddy eyes blue," but that "ema eyes basil (hazel)." he can tell you the color of anybody in the family's eyes: "dodo karen have brown eyes. saba eyes brown. fasa (safta) eyes brown. papo eyes blue. mama eyes blue. kiva eyes brown. doda tali eyes brown. lee have brown eyes. matmo eyes blue."

most of the time, his running commentary is fun and amusing. occasionally it gets embarrasing, like when he talks about "people" (his term for any person whose name he doesn't know). for instance, the other day when we were in a public restroom, i'm sure the lady in the stall next to us was surprised to hear him say, "people making pee pee!"
