Bobby goes to Hawaii. (Lucky baby!)

The view from Waipio on the northern coast.

This water is WAY too cold!

Umauma Falls.

Relaxing by the pool.

Our Golden Pig.

A walk in the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park.

A visit from Dr. Kristin!

What a fun day! Thanks so much for making the trip, Kristin!

A beautiful day at Baby Boot Camp.

Don't let the name fool you! Bobby doesn't have to do exercises. Baby Boot Camp is for for moms.... The babies watch (and laugh!), sleep, or, on bad days, spit up on our instructor (who picks up whoever's crying so that mom can do another set of crunches, dips, squats, etc.). I love maternity leave!

Pensive.

Back home in SF.

We thought we were suckers to buy an "activity mat," but he loves it!

This is cosy!

Bobby loves snuggling with Great-Grandma Gretch.

The three amigos at Thanksgiving...

Jaxon read a book....

While Bobby took a nap.
Elliott was definitely the boss.

Meeting Great-Grandma Aba at Thanksgiving.

How do I let go of this thing?

Good thing there aren't any racoon traps around here.

How's the water?

Poolside with Gma in San Diego.

Bobby meets Sarah and Scott!

Bobby and Great-Grandma Gretchen.

Family picture at Grandpa Gale's Memorial.

Outside the Harbor Club at the San Diego Submarine Base. Gma gave a beautiful toast to Grandpa Gale.

More tummy time, almost 12 weeks old.

Wearing a warm hat from Mrs. Krauser!

A cold night in SF. (As opposed to...?)

Helping Dad work.

Bobby doesn't think he should have to nap all by himself. In fact, he's pretty sure that this whole nap business is overrated.

Monkey business.

Fun evening at the Albersteins! Laughing it up with Sean, Uncle Joakim, and Auntie Rosalind.

Halloween party in Pete and Cassia's new garage!

Clockwise from left: Patricia, Cassia, Isabelle, and the Belly (32 weeks!).

Funny monkey.

Bobby tolerated the monkey get-up all evening at Pete and Cassia's garage-warming Halloween party! The costume was a little big on him but he wore it well.

There's a smile!

Sleeping, 10 weeks old.

Somehow Bobby sneaks into our bed for most of his naps and in the wee hours of the morning. Not sure how he does it.

Will the fist fit?

Notice how much hair Bobby is growing! No longer a bald baby.

Relaxing in the bouncy chair.

Jammin' with Jerry.

The cool outfit is from Ashlin. We don't know where he got the dance fever.

Caught mid-smile!

Bobby loves playing on his jungle blanket from Carol. Lots of smiling these days!

After dinner nap.

8 weeks old!

For his birthday, Grandpa gave Bobby an ever-popular gift for the 2-month-old: a scooter! He loves it! We have a rule about wearing a helmet and kneepads at all times, at least until Bobby can steer a little better. We're pretty strict.

Dinner at Grandpa Tom's with Aunt Susan and Uncle Chris.

Stretching after a nap.

Future gymnast?

Still asleep.

Not for long! There's a diaper change in this guy's future.

Dancing to the mobile.

Big boy clothes!

This was the fourth outfit of the day and has since met the same fate as the first three...the laundry!

Sound asleep.

Bobby meets Spencer!

Warning: The following post contains flagrant parental bragging.

Bobby's first "tummy time" last weekend.... Look how strong that neck is! At his 5-week pediatrician appointment, the doctor said that Bobby had the strength of a 2-month old. We were so proud. :) The octopus's name is Oscar. He's a big favorite around here.

Not quite sure what to do with my arms and legs yet....

Squirmy baby!

Arms finally longer than head...YES!!!
