Aunt Megan's good friend got married in Leavenworth. It's located on the eastern side of the Cascades, so there's lots of snow. This was our hotel. It was spread out in the forest.
Aunt Megan & Patrick at the wedding. This is Bear, she is the bride's dog.
I got cranky, so Mom, Aunt Megan, and another brides maids danced with me at the reception until I fell asleep.
Hanging out with Uncle Shanth...he makes me nervous.
I LOVE Aunt Kelly. She speaks baby.
This Christmas thing is strange. I am all about the paper!
Spending time with Tha tha.
Grandma Judy has a special drawer for me in her kitchen. Fascinating!
I'm excited, I feel like something is going on tonight!
Oh, we are back here at the pool. That's interesting. I remember leaving here last Thursday in tears.... Are my parents trying to punish me?
I wasn't very happy in the pool, but this rubber torpedo and a squishy ball kept my attention for the entire time! I made it! I am the youngest one in the class (and we all happen to be boys...?). All the other kids can walk unassisted. I understand that I will be doing this every Tuesday night...I will keep my progress posted.
I love spending time with my Dad. He takes great care of me even though his methods are different from Mommy's. I really like it when he comes home from work and spends some one on one time with me on weekend mornings. I am working hard to get his Swiss glasses.....one of these days!
I took my first swimming lesson last night at the local pool. This is my gorilla swimsuit that Aunt Megan bought me ages ago. It's hiding the "Dora the Explorer" diaper. But I am a modern boy, I can wear pink.... How did the lesson go? Well, the first 5 minutes were interesting, then I whined for over 10 minutes, and by the time Dad showed up from work to see how things were going, I was screaming my head off. The swim staff said that I did better than most 3 year olds. I go back on Tuesday. 
This is me after after the lesson. I was so tired. Mom and Dad were able to have a quiet dinner.
This is me this very morning. Mom found this shirt in my closet (also from Aunt M). We e-mailed the picture to Dad.
I love this carrot (also from Aunt M!) Check out my leg warmers. They are good for the Seattle Climate of cold & damp. I'll write more soon. Stay in touch.
We celebrated Sunday, December 9th, because my parents and I will be in Utah on Christmas. I loved the crinkling of the paper. It was fun!
I got this great hat from Aunt Megan and Patrick. I plan on sporting it in Park City next week. It also came with matching mitties. 
I got a little cranky, so Grandpa tried to settle me down.
Grandma Jeanie got a GREAT gift-the book of me, my first 6 months. Oops. I hope Grandma Judy doesn't look at this blog before Christmas. She loved it! 
This is Patrick. You've seen Aunt Megan. You'll probably see more of him at Blacksher events. He's nice, but not a big "baby" holder. That's ok, I LOVE it when my Aunt M holds me.
I recently went to California in early December. A quick trip to meet some cousins. My Cousin Zach (that's him in the black/grey shirt)turned 5, and he had a big party. Xander is my other cousin.
This is uncle Chris. He doesn't look very happy holding me. Aunt Jill was a lot more into it-the holding of me...that is.
Tha tha and Grandma Judy were at this event. It was a big party...
Aunt Sheila, Uncle Pete, and cousins Surina and Maya made it. So did Second cousin Johanna - that's her on the right.
She lulled me to sleep that siren.
