Feeding the Birds

I had a lot of fun the other morning down at the beach in Corona Del Mar. I really liked running in my stroller in the rain, and I also liked getting to feed the birds.

18 months old!

Well, I am officially 18 months old now and life is really starting to get interesting! I am enjoying all of the new fun stuff that I get to do - like ride my tricycle and go to music class with Auntie. I really love going to the park too everyday.

This is a picture from Dadi's birthday. Can you believe they made me wear this tie and vest?!?!

Out and about in Tustin.The funny hat that Mommy made for her party at school on the 100th day of school!

Bath Time

One of my favorite times of the day is bath time!! I love that time in the evening where I unwind and get clean and just play around in the water. Here are a few of my many faces from bath time!

All smiles!

Catching my breath!

My serious look.

My annoyed look!

Road Trip 2009

2009 started off with a bang, and then we headed off on a road trip. It was Me, Mommy, and Auntie Anahit. Even though I am smiling in this picture, I didn't really enjoy all the time being strapped into my car seat. It was okay when I was asleep. But as soon as I was awake, I either wanted to eat, or watch my DVDs. And once I got tired of those things, I wanted to get out of my seat.

Our first night we visited our cousins in Fresno. It was really fun cause I got to sit at the kids table for the first time in my life. I got my own plate and fork and got to pretend like I know how to eat by myself and stuff. I made a huge mess, but nobody really cared, so that was cool! Then I followed my cousins around all night and played with them. It was a blast at their house.

(they hadn't taken down their Christmas tree cause they were preparing to celebrate Armenian Christmas on January 6th).

Next we went to Berkeley and saw Auntie Lo-Lo. Here we are in San Fransisco climbing Mt. Davidson where the Armenians have a 103 ft. cross in remembrance of the Armenian genocide. It was a pretty rough trail.

It was a nice view but you can see the sun is in my eyes.

I liked it once we made it to the top though.

Then we stopped in Oakland and saw more of Mommy's good friends from college. This is baby Lucia. She is only 4 months old. I thought she was really beautiful and sweet.

Wild Animal Park

Well I finally made it to my first trip to the zoo...it only took them a year and half to finally bring me here! It was fun having them push me all over this huge park. I liked looking at all the animals.

Me looking at the animals through the binoculars!

I guess it's pretty obvious who's behind me here...

I really enjoyed the "Snow Hill" they had. I like walking, and slipping, and trying to eat it!

The Fun Continues....

The day after Christmas the fun continued! I got to go see my cousins (that don't look too much like me) - Jaeden and Hunter!! We opened more presents and got to play.

I'm still not sure who was having more fun, me and Jaeden, or Daddy and Uncle David?!?

I love Aunt Smudge, and I REALLY love the remote control car she gave me. It is so cool. I can control it with only 1 button!!

This is baby Hunter. He can't really do too much yet, but I didn't want to leave him off the blog. I'm sure he'll be fun to play with soon.

Christmas Day with the BIG FAM

The Christmas fun continued when we went to Uncle Mark's and I got to see all my Aunts and Uncles and cousins and open more presents and play for the rest of the afternoon. It was so much fun being with the big family. I am still the youngest of the clan, and I enjoy all the attention of the older 37 people!!

This is my cousin Tyler helping me to open up one of my presents (with Mommy and Auntie Heather).

A cute picture of Me and Mommy. What do you think of my button-down shirt?!?

This is my Auntie Gina feeding me a cupcake. Mommy didn't say anything about the first one, but then she tried to feed me three more. I was down (but Mommy wasn't....guess who won?)

Me and Great-Grandma Anita

I love Aunt Lana (though I am giving her the Loser sign).

Please excuse Hopar for his shirt.

Auntie Margo and Uncle Darrel. I was already fading here but I still tried to be polite by folding my hands.

Christmas Morning

Christmas Morning was an interesting time. I had all my favorite people there. Great and Grandpa came over, and so did Dadi, Hopar, and Auntie. Of course Mommy and Daddy were there too. Then they let me open all these boxes covered in colored paper and inside were lots of special, fun toys. I really liked Christmas morning and I hope we get to do it again tomorrow.

In the beginning we had to take a bunch of pictures (like always). This is one of them.

Then I got to start opening the colorful boxes. I really liked this one. It had fun stuff from my favorite Mickey Mouse cartoon.

Hopar helped me set it up later so I could start playing with the race cars.This is my "miner while I vacuum" look.

My Great really thought the book I gave her was funny! I'm glad she liked it so much!

Dadi really liked the album I made her of all the pictures of her and I together since I was born (well not ALL of them...if you know her then you know how much she loves to take pictures). Anyhow, she loved it so much that she started crying. I love her so much. Thanks Dadi for taking such good care of me!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was so much fun. First my Uncle Don brought over this huge dinosaur. It roars and moves its horns and stuff. I kinda like it, but I am not really sure if I totally do. I mean it is practically bigger than I am. And now out of nowhere it lives in my house as if it is my brother or something.After our family party in the afternoon at our house we went over and had a friends party at night at my best friend's house. Isabella and I got to play and open presents. We ate pizza and had ice cream sandwiches. We even got to stay up way, way past our bedtimes!!! It was a fun night!!

This is Isabella and I with Auntie Jill.

I am wearing my new leather jacket from Bellas that completes my "Bruiser" look.

Isabella kept wanting to sit right in my lap. All the adults thought it was SO funny! But I wouldn't have it, and would just push her away.

So much fun opening up all our new toys and presents! Thanks everyone!

Santa's Chair

We hijacked Santa's chair for this family pic. Only in So Cal would Santa have a surf board!?!?

Disneyland Magic

It was really special to get to go to Disneyland at Christmas time. I enjoyed getting to meet Mickey Mouse after seeing him so many times on TV on my favorite cartoon (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse of course, isn't that your favorite, too?).
It was cold the morning we were here, but I was still annoyed by the hat they made me wear, can you tell?

Hi Minnie. You're cute.

Oops, belly again.
