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
Another shot from SLO.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 184
Riding the horse at the toy store in San Luis Obispo.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 183
Playing in the backyard.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 182
This is David scaring us. He hee.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 181
Just for me. So I can drink in the blue eyes.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 180
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
A boy and his bubbles.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 146
In the car ride back. He's only eating the fruit from McDonalds, not
anything else! And here's a shot from the flea market earlier in the day:
DAILY DAVID - DAY 145
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
At school.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 133
Yes, we still have the Halloween pumpkins out.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 132
One more:
DAILY DAVID - DAY 131
Special moments with Daddy.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 130
DAILY DAVID - DAY 129
I love how he puts his arm around me. Sweetest boy ever.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 128
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
This is David's sweet face for when he's asking for a favor.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 113
And here's another cute one from the forest.
DAILY DAVID - DAY 112
DAILY DAVID - DAY 111
Apologies for falling behind. We have some guests in town. Catching up
right now
DAILY DAVID - DAY 110
DD - DAY 109
I love this little boy, even when he's angry at me.
DD - DAY 108
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
Don't let the innocence fool you, he likes to throw things down that
yellow basketball stand. Sandwiches, toys, chalk, whatever he can find.
DD - DAY 104
Drawing.
DD - DAY 103
David hears a sound.
DD - DAY 102
Just woke up.
DD - DAY 101
Playing in the backyard today.
DD - DAY 100
And here we are: day 100. I can't believe it.
DD - DAY 99
Another shot from school. He loves school. I love that.
DD - DAY 98
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
We took a walk on Shoreline Park today and David had a ton of fun that
the little playground in the shape of a ship.
DD - DAY 89
At the library. And here's another one from the Gyro place we were at.
DD - DAY 88
Love this little boy.
DD - DAY 87
David and I had some fun this morning while he was inside the house and
I was photographing my ATCs outside.
DD - DAY 86
Here's a shot from our walk today. And in the middle of our walk, David
decided to call his dad.
DD - DAY 85
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
Apologies for the delays. Catching up right now.
DD - DAY 72
David's really into hide and seek lately so he loves hiding behind the
tree and just popping out and saying "boo!!."
DD - DAY 71
Little boy with funny face.
DD - DAY 70
My parents bought this blackboard for David months ago but he's just
started using it.
DD - DAY 69
Jake's mom was here for the weekend so we did an early Easter this year.
David didn't complain.
DD - DAY 68
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.
