 DAILY DAVID - DAY 311
 Isn't he so so handsome? I know, I am biased. DAILY DAVID - DAY 310
 While I wasn't looking David decided to self-potty-train. I am so proud of him. Bad photos, I know but I like this one of him on the potty, and then I picked him up from school and he hadn't napped so a few minutes after getting home he was snacking and next thing I knew, he was snoring. My little boy.  DAILY DAVID - DAY 309

 Bribing with candy seems to work :) DAILY DAVID - DAY 306
 He really really didn't want his photo taken today. DAILY DAVID - DAY 305
 Despite the rainy weather David had a blast going trick or treating in the neighborhood. Funny enough, his favorite part was actually sitting at home and greeting people who came to our door. He'd hold up the bucket of candy and tell people to take "just one." He was so talkative, so friendly and so happy.  DAILY DAVID - DAY 304
 Today was the Google Halloween party for families. Another chance for David to wear his costume and eat candy. This is my favorite photo because it's clear that he can't see anything. But I couldn't resist taking a closeup too of course.  DAILY DAVID - DAY 303
 David's been saying he wants a Spiderman costume for Halloween despite the fact that I got a dinosaur one weeks ago so when I finally let him try it on last night, I was thrilled to find out what he loved it and immediately decided to tackle Daddy. DAILY DAVID - DAY 302
 Getting in the car to go to school with Daddy. DAILY DAVID - DAY 301

 DAILY DAVID - DAY 299
 DAILY DAVID - DAY 298
 At the dentist. DAILY DAVID - DAY 297
 DAILY DAVID - DAY 296

 DAILY DAVID - DAY 294

 Another one of his precious smiles. DAILY DAVID - DAY 224
 My boy has a thousand smiles. And I love every one of them. DAILY DAVID - DAY 223

 David's been going to school all day every day for the summer and during the designated nap time, he just plays. So today when we came home, as he was eating a snack on his chair, he started snoring. I didn't have the heart to wake him up. When he woke up 40 minutes later, he started wailing. I am guessing it's a headache. Poor boy. DAILY DAVID - DAY 197
 Playing in the backyard together. DAILY DAVID - DAY 196

 I started taking David to school in the mornings. We got there a bit early today so we played outside until we could go in. DAILY DAVID - DAY 188
 A black and white one today. Just for fun. DAILY DAVID - DAY 187
 David goes from sad to happy to sad in seconds. But he doesn't tend to put his hands on his face so this was a rare moment to catch. DAILY DAVID - DAY 186
 Blowing Bubbles. DAILY DAVID - DAY 185

 Today we took David to the movies for the first time ever. We saw Wall-e. He was amazing. Behaved like a perfect little boy and the movie was also fantastic. This might become a regular event. DAILY DAVID - DAY 179
 Me watching a movie and drinking coffee, he, watching his own movie and eating cereal. We call that keyif. DAILY DAVID - DAY 178
 Tonight we went out to dinner and David decided he was going to sit on the steps of this house. While I snapped the photos, two little boys wanted to come sit next to David, too. His personality inviting like that. DAILY DAVID - DAY 177
 I just love this kid so much. My heart aches just looking at him. DAILY DAVID - DAY 176
 This is what I got for a photo today. He's such a cutie, I can not get enough of this little boy. DAILY DAVID - DAY 175
 I don't know why I love this photo so much but there's something about it I love. DAILY DAVID - DAY 174
 That's Daddy's chair. No! That's David's chair! DAILY DAVID - DAY 173
 I love seeing them spend time together. So does David cause moments after this, he did this: 
DAILY DAVID - DAY 172
 Not many words for today's photo. DAILY DAVID - DAY 171
 You wouldn't know it but he was crying literally 4 seconds before this shot! DAILY DAVID - DAY 170
 I just love these sneaky looks he gives me. He has such a wonderful sense of humor. DAILY DAVID - DAY 169
 I look at this photo and I realize he's getting so old. He so doesn't look like a baby anymore. DAILY DAVID - DAY 168
 I love these faces. This is David's sweet face. And then the angry look and then the one where he can't help but laugh.   DAILY DAVID - DAY 167
 Father's day. This year David said "Happy Father's Day." He's growing up so quickly. DAILY DAVID - DAY 166
 I hate the way I look but I love the love in this photo. DAILY DAVID - DAY 165
 I almost missed taking a photo of David on Friday. By the time we made it to Boston, it was almost dark. DAILY DAVID - DAY 164
 Today he learned to sign "two." He loves saying it at the same time. DAILY DAVID - DAY 163
 I asked David to give me a smile. This is what he did. Cutie boy. DAILY DAVID - DAY 162
 Today David and I wanted to hang out in the backyard but it was too hot so we sat on the one corner where there was shade. He had his sandwich and bubbles (and played with the kettle we'd left outside) and I sat on my computer, working. It was truly wonderful. DAILY DAVID - DAY 161
 This one's just for me. David learned to blow bubbles today. I mean really blow them. Now he's practicing nonstop. I want to remember this moment forever. DAILY DAVID - DAY 160
 I look at this boy who now asks "What's this?" or "What's inside?" 1000 times a minute and I realize he's really growing up. Not a baby anymore. I love him so much. DAILY DAVID - DAY 159
 Maybe you can, but I really really cannot resist this face. DAILY DAVID - DAY 158
 Curious little boy wants to know what ever single sound is. DAILY DAVID - DAY 157
 I haven't worn heels in such a long time so I felt like wearing a skirt and heels today. I think David enjoyed my shoes even more than I did. DAILY DAVID - DAY 156
 My very creative son put the diaper box on his head and made robot noises while running around the house. These are the moments I don't want to miss. I know it's crazy. But I love this. I really do. Especially this:  DAILY DAVID - DAY 155
 David watches this TV show called "Word World." It's one of his favorite shows. In this show they create things by spelling out the words for them. So yesterday as he played with these magnets on the fridge, he said "Let's build a word!" Soon, my little boy, soon. DAILY DAVID - DAY 154
 So for the month of June, I want to try something a bit different. I want to make sure that each day I write a bit more about these photos and tell you my thoughts. Let's see if I can manage to do it. Little David's learned to be very resourceful. He is very curious and interested in discovering everything. Having something out of his reach isn't much of an obstacle for him. He's found a way to "be tall." He takes his little chair and stands on top of it and voila! Too clever for all of us. DAILY DAVID - DAY 153
 I checked out Rosie O'Donnell's new book "Crafty U." David loves it and calls it the "Rosie Book." I have no idea how he knows it's her. I must have told him once without realizing it. DAILY DAVID - DAY 152
 DAILY DAVID - DAY 151
 Tickling me with gloves. DAILY DAVID - DAY 150
 DAILY DAVID - DAY 149
 DAILY DAVID - DAY 148
 DAILY DAVID - DAY 147

 David and the zillion balloons he got on Venice Beach. DAILY DAVID - DAY 144
 Eating cake and watching TV. Aren't I the best mom ever? DAILY DAVID - DAY 143
 My two favorite people laughing, what more can I ask for in life? DAILY DAVID - DAY 142
 I am so sorry. I've been taking these but haven't had any time to process anything. So I am going to catch up right now. DAILY DAVID - DAY 141
 A shot from school. DAILY DAVID - DAY 140
 I love this photo. DAILY DAVID - DAY 139
 We went to watch Bay to Breakers in the city. David got to hang out with our friend Steve and I snapped this fun photo.  DAILY DAVID - DAY 138
 We were at my friend Zev's place on Saturday and David played with this hat. I have no idea how but he knew it said "Happy Birthday." DAILY DAVID - DAY 137
 DAILY DAVID - DAY 136
 Love this boy so much.  DAILY DAVID - DAY 135
 I love these expressions.  DAILY DAVID - DAY 134

 DAILY DAVID - DAY 127
 And another one from today.  DAILY DAVID - DAY 126
 DAILY DAVID - DAY 125
 Today, I was trying to get David to cleanup and getting more and getting agitated as he ignored me. After I got more and more frustrated, he walked over to me and gave me a big hug. He said, "No angry, Mommy, I love you." It was really all I needed. I immediately felt better. This is David showing me his "big muscles." More like elbows ...  and this one is just fun  DAILY DAVID - DAY 124
 Some other moments of joy from today. I especially love this one where David's jumping up and down in the water and his feet are actually off the ground.   DAILY DAVID - DAY 123
 This was a special moment I walked into and then it got even more special:  DAILY DAVID - DAY 122
 DAILY DAVID - DAY 121
 David's figured a way to fill the water bottles in the house. DAILY DAVID - DAY 120
 Giving a sweet smile to Daddy. DAILY DAVID - DAY 119
 Mommy, I Robot! DAILY DAVID - DAY 118
 A little bit of fun with Daddy. DAILY DAVID - DAY 117
 David spent literally two hours finger painting quietly on Saturday. It was quite amazing. He's such a wonderful kid. And here's another shot from the backyard.  DAILY DAVID - DAY 116
 This is David, hiding his hands so I can't hold them. DAILY DAVID - DAY 115
 Today was take your kids to work day. David had a blast! DAILY DAVID - DAY 114

 Finally, we got to take another walk today. It was really wonderful to do one of these again. DD - DAY 107
 David picked the creativeTherapy winner today and then ran away with the paper so I had to chase him to grab the photo. He had a blast.  DD - DAY 106
 DD - DAY 105

 I can't believe I've been doing this for almost 100 days. David's still fascinated by the ants and I have a bunch more photos from today.    DD - DAY 97
 Little boy is still fascinated with ants and looks for them everywhere he goes.  DD - DAY 96
 Today we took a walk, all three of us. It was extra special. DD - DAY 95
 Love this boy. DD - DAY 94
 David and Daddy today. DD - DAY 93
 A short walk tonight before we got caught in the rain. But long enough to find some ants.  DD - DAY 92
 A photo in class. DD - DAY 91
 In today's little walk: learning about roly-polies holding ants playing basketball with the neighbor's ball scaring mommy flying like a rocket to the sun we got a lot done.  DD - DAY 90

 David found some of the chalk he's been hiding all over our yard. Here's another one.  DD - DAY 84
 We had very little time together today because I had a really late meeting at work. But here's a small capture of David peeking into the bushes. DD - DAY 83
 DD - DAY 82
 Another shot right after the afternoon nap. DD - DAY 81
 This is David when he wakes up from a nap. Bright red cheeks and you can't see but he has dreamy eyes. He's so cute. And tonight when I changed him, he said "I have big muscles!" Growing up too soon, that little boy. DD - DAY 80
 "I Batman!" "Batman? You're not Superman?" "No Superman. Batman. I block cars! 2..3...5 block!" "Ok you're Batman and I'm Supergirl." "No supergirl! You're Mommy." "Yes, I'm Mommy but I'm also Supergirl." "No supergirl! You Karen. No Supergirl!" I spent a chunk of our walk trying to explain how I could be Mommy, Karen and supergirl. But he wasn't convinced. He did keep blocking cars though. DD - DAY 79
 Look at me, all on top of things. Posting photos from today! DD - DAY 78
 Not very cooperative today. DD - DAY 77
 This is how my boy eats his cheese sandwiches. DD - DAY 76
 Checking out the sprinklers in the backyard. DD - DAY 75
 David was playing with the neighbors. They find him very amusing and fun. DD - DAY 74
 I had to go to Michael's for some spray paint. So David got to have a present. A ball that lights up. It's been his favorite toy for days now. He even goes to bed with it. DD - DAY 73

 It's really quite amazing how happy my little boy is. So many times a day, he says "Mommy, I happy." I am so blessed. DD - DAY 67
 Walking with David in the neighborhood when I come home from work has become a daily habit. The best part of my day. DD - DAY 66
 David and I played peek-a-boo this morning. It was so much fun. Here's moments before this photo:  DD - DAY 65
 I came home before the sunlight disappeared yesterday just so I could take a walk around the neighborhood with David again but it didn't go so smoothly this time. Let's see what happens today. DD - DAY 64
 My wonderful boy. DD - DAY 63
 It's finally getting warm outside but we're still not taking as much advantage of it as we should. DD - DAY 62
 Funnily, these legos have been around forever but David's finally coming around to enjoying them. DD - DAY 61
 David wouldn't come out to the garden to let me take photos so instead I captured these.  DD - DAY 60
 Cutie Pie. DD - DAY 59
 David's huge Turkish book. My favorite part is how he holds it up with his little toes.  DD - DAY 58
 David looking through the bead and saying "I see you!!" We've been making a lot of necklaces lately. DD - DAY 57
 This is David concentrating on making bead necklace. DD - DAY 56
 We have this one drawer full off goodies. It stores all of our candy. David has discovered it and has even found an amazing way to get his hands on it. He opens the cupboard below so he can get a tiny bit of lift. He gets on his tippy toes and then he can sneak a peek. Or aimlessly grab without seeing. Sneaky, little boy. DD - DAY 55
 Apologies for being behind on these but I have been taking photos daily, still. I must say that I am quite proud that I've been able to stay authentic with these and each of the photos have been taken on the actual day. This is David right after bathtime. Here's the next one:  DD - DAY 54
 A good friend of Jake's gave David this fantastic Batman car. He works for Matel and David absolutely adored this toy. He played with it all day long. Put his Batman in it, buckled him up and drove him all around the house.  This morning, David accidentally burped and it surprised him so much that he kept fake-doing it all day long. My little jokester, I love you madly. DD - DAY 53
 I've started going to bed early and getting up before David does. I paint and read in the mornings. This morning I wasn't done with my painting when David woke up so we sat side by side, me painting and he stringing beads on a necklace. It was quite wonderful. DD - DAY 52
 David and Jake went to see the Tour de California yesterday and got these and this morning David was trying to blow them up. Then he said, "it's broken, Mommy."  DD - DAY 51
 David, reading his book out loud to me. DD - DAY 50
 I think this might be why they tell you not to let your kids watch TV. DD - DAY 49
 One of the presents David received for his birthday was this little computer. He absolutely loves it and takes it with him everywhere.  DD - DAY 48
 Today was David's birthday party. Even though he whined about not getting to eat the cake all night, last night, when it was finally time to cut the cake, he threw a fit and did not want to sit down. Here he is, blowing the candle with Daddy, even though he's also crying. DD - DAY 47
 I am continually amazed by the beauty of this little boy. DD - DAY 46
 David, watching a coin turning round and round and going into a hole. One of those donation things. DD - DAY 45
 Had to rush out today so it's not the best photo. We started articulation therapy today and David cried when he left the classroom to go to the therapist and then cried cause he didn't want to go back. He's funny that way. I know some of you asked about the hearing test and I am sorry I didn't post that before. His hearing is perfect. He also got his speech assessment and doesn't qualify for any more aid. He came out smack in the middle of the normal range. They celebrated David's birthday at school today so when he walked into class, he screamed "Happy Birthday!!" It was hilarious. DD - DAY 44
 David and his best friend, Michelle. Today was his last speech therapy appointment. DD - DAY 43
 Wearing Jess' glasses and having a blast. I think he loves LA! DD - DAY 42
 David, playing with the mist on the windows. I did this a lot as a kid so it was fun to see him do it, too. DD - DAY 41
 Little boy, watching TV. I love this expression so much. DD - DAY 40
 Day One in L.A. My camera decided to have some technical difficulties so it was a bit scary but it magically fixed itself. DD - DAY 39
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY my wonderful, lovely, amazing boy! An incredible three years have passed and to 300 more.  After he blew the candles out, David grabbed one of the cupcakes and passed one to me and one to Daddy. How generous is that?  DD - DAY 38
 Today was David's 3-year doctor's appointment. He weighs 34 lbs. He's at 75% for both height and weight. Healthy, happy kid all around. Yey! DD - DAY 37
 This is David and Michelle, his speech therapist. Michelle is David's best friend. He asks us about her every day. DD - DAY 36
 Today was David's first dentist appointment. Let's just say it wasn't his favorite time. Hopefully we'll only go up from here. This was, by far, the funniest moment of the appointment. David had picked up one of the sample toothpaste tubes from the waiting room. When they gave him a tooth brush, he wanted to immediately brush his teeth.As soon as he put it in his mouth, he tasted the mint and hated it immediately. So he stuffed his mouth with paper to get the taste out, shouting "Yuck yuck yuck," the whole time.  DD - DAY 35
 Jake's mom got David these tubes. He loves playing with them. And I couldn't skip this face.  DD - DAY 34
 DD - DAY 33
 This is one of my favorite photos of David in the last few days. He has a scab on his chin and keeps picking at it, hence the band aid. DD - DAY 32
 Today I came home to David wearing this little backpack book my sister has gotten him when he was born. He said, "I, Diego Mommy." Then he said he was looking for Dora. He didn't take it off all night. More reason I love him so much. DD - DAY 31
 And I made it to the end of month one! I can't tell you how happy it makes me to watch David read. DD - DAY 30
 David and I got to play with crayons today. He likes them a lot. It must be in his genes.  DD - DAY 29
 Little boy, happy to have mom back. And I love the lip-bite.  DD - DAY 28
 I was out of town for Monday and Tuesday so big thanks goes to Jake for taking these photos. Except for the one taken from my computer. He was wonderful enough to setup a video chat with me so I could see David from the hotel room.   DD - DAY 27
 I love love love this photo of David. Looking out into the pouring rain. DD - DAY 26
 My beautiful son. DD - DAY 25
 David and the red umbrella. It's been pouring cats and dogs here.   DD - DAY 24
 David engrossed in TV.  DD - DAY 23
 Today was a full day. This morning David wanted to eat Jello really badly. I told him that he couldn't and then changed my mind (yes it's bad IDEA!) but then he said "Mommy, I so happy" and it totally made my day. He didn't just say "I happy," he said "I so happy." Then, we took him to get his hearing tested. Since he is speech delayed and some of his articulation is off, multiple people asked us to get him tested. The testers were wonderful with him, even though he did eventually get completely fed up with it. Today's David photo is him asking me "really nicely" whether he can have Jello. The rest are from the audiologist and more from the Jello time.      I love you so much, David. I so happy, too. DD - DAY 22
 This is the first time I've ever thought David looks like me. DD - DAY 21
 Some precious Daddy and David time from today. I don't know how I got so lucky as to have two of the best men in the universe.  DD - DAY 20
 Not much to say to this one. DD - DAY 19
 It's not that Mr. Potato Head's glasses are too small but they are also upside down. DD - DAY 18
 My very very smiley little boy. Isn't he the sweetest? Here's another cute shot from today:  DD - DAY 17
 This is David with a grape in his cheek. But what I really love is the hair... DD - DAY 16
 It's been a really hectic week. So here's all the photos I did take throughout the week. This is David sitting in Mommy's chair. It's always fun to watch him try to get up on there as the wheels move. DD - DAY 15
 I left home at 4am and I didn't get home till late so it wasn't a good day for David photos. But here's the little one, eating his meatballs, wearing my Macworld badge.  And here's a photo of him outside the Moscone center when we went to pick my badge up.  DD - DAY 14
 A little shot from bedtime. DD - DAY 13
 Cutie little boy. Lately, he likes being photographed. DD - DAY 12
 We took David to the park today and I snapped five million photos. I will post them later but here's one I love. DD - DAY 11
 And here he is, finally able to touch it. Minutes later, it was just a balloon. To be fair, it took a whole two days for him to completely destroy it. DD - DAY 10
 Sorry, I'm running a bit behind on posting them, but I am still doing them. Here's David ignoring his millions of toys and looking up at a shelf out of his reach. I would like to call your attention to the fork he placed so elegantly on the car. DD - DAY 9
 David's sharing his little frog book with me and showing me the mirror. You can never instill the love of reading too soon. DD - DAY 8
 A black and white one for today. DD - DAY 7
 You thought I was slipping, didn't you? Today we took David for his speech evaluation. As part of that, the evaluator showed him a bunch of photos and asked him to say what they are. When he saw a couch, he said "Couch, mommy couch." and then they showed a book and he said "Mommy's book." That prolly sums up my life for the last 20 days that I've been sick. Mommy on the couch with a book. DD - DAY 6
 David was playing so happily that when he saw me grab the camera, he was amused and even posed for me. DD - DAY 5
 Today was one of a lot of fun and horsing around with Daddy. Here are a bunch of others from the same fun moments.      DD - DAY 4
 Oh uh. David was not very accommodating with the photo taking today. I hope this is not a trend. DD - DAY 3
 Today's shot is of David looking out the window and watching the rain. It's a good thing I was sick and not at work. I hate rain. DD - DAY 2
 Another Christmas present shot. Jake's parents got David a bunch of toys and one of them was this hat which is David's new favorite toy. DD - DAY 1  And here is our daily David for Jan 1st. I couldn't miss this amazing little moment where, as always, David enjoyed the boxes his presents came in more than the presents themselves. |
