me & my shadow - my shadow & me

i found it! my mom wasn't fast enough to catch me touching my shadow's hand ...but there was a moment when it became clear to me that i could make that gray-guy move just like me. mama is not sure if i'll remember this little secret (the next time i come-up to a large concrete wall as the sun goes down)...but at least i got it this time!

BOAT!

there were so many boats that passed under the bridge while we were in duluth, i liked to watch them from grandma&grandpa's living room. this picture is one of two ships that i got to see close-up in the span of about 10 minutes, one evening when we were at the pier. (see G&G in the background?)

cousin sofia marie

i love my new cousin sofia. right now i just call her "fia" because that's all i can make my mouth say.

eventful week

you're all probably wondering what has happened to me -- but i've been spending the week up in duluth (while my mama works in grandpa's office) - i'm getting used to grandma & grandpa salmela's house and have so much fun watching marathons and boats come in&out of the harbor, eating good food, visiting with my buddies, playing with my cousin lussi and even meeting my new cousin, SOFIA MARIE, (lussi's baby sister) who decided she wanted to come early! my mom has been trying to get some pictures off her phone to share, but has been unsuccessful.... hopefully later today it will happen. anyway, i'm having so much fun in duluth!

a GREAT sunday morning!

"kai!"

watering the garden

mama updated my blog - and lost some links...could you please resend them to me?

my latest...

about 2 weeks ago, my mom found me sitting in my stocke-chair, all buckled-in with my bib on, ready to eat. ever since then, she has been trying to catch me in the action of climbing-up and buckling myself in. this is the best documentation she's been able to get.....

swim trunks

i have new swim-trunks because i started my first swimming lessons this morning (in a heated pool!) ... it was so much fun! my mama (who has never been a very good swimmer) thinks that i am a natural...i was comfortable on my belly kicking my legs and reaching with my arms - i even enjoyed putting my face in the water to blow bubbles! i can't wait til the next time i can go swimming!
