Big boy

Mama and Daddy have been noticing that I am really turning into a toddler! Not only can I sort of run, but I am getting fat. My belly is fat, and my face is getting rounder and I'm getting some chunky in my legs. I am overdue for a "growth spurt". But I'm so cute! I have crazy hair when I wake up just like Daddy's.

I have been learning a little bit about the color "yellow", which I say very well, and also about airplanes. Please read me my "Planes" book over and over. And over.

I also can say "Coen" now, and "Henry" (enny), and "Flower" (not very well; sometimes sounds like "yellow" or even "ball") but my favorite words are "bike", "car", "cat" "Bottle" and "water". Some things never change, I guess.

Sick tummy

Mom picked me up and we went to Whole Foods to get some swordfish kabobs to grill. When we came home, I was eating dinner, but all of a sudden I threw up everywhere! Lots and lots of food. It made me cry so hard. We took a bath and I felt better, but then I had some milk and let's just say I had to have another bath. It really made me feel crappy and my tummy was real firm and yucky.

Here's a picture of me and mom and dad yesterday at the Temescal street fair.

walking is fun

I feel so powerful and strong! I love to walk around on the new sandals that Mom and Dad got for me, and sometimes I put socks on with them too. My aunt and uncle are visiting. My uncle Erik does funny dancing and it makes me laugh! A lot!

My mom got me off my first bottle. I'm not napping too much these days.

Best, Silas McKenney Farhang
