A Bouncing Baby Ping Pong!

Because I could never grow tired of watching Ping Pong jump in his exersaucer, I've decided to treat you guys to 3 whole minutes of adorable (albeit, probably nauseating) video footage of him in action. If you listen carefully, you can hear that he's actually out of breath.

Happy Halloween!

What a Halloween! Decorations, Jack-o-lanterns, Boo at the Zoo with Scarlett, Trick-or-treating... Whew! There is too much to discuss! We'll just let you see for yourself:

An Accent Only A Babushka Would Love

Scene: Poki was playing with his matryoshka dolls the other morning when Daddy asked what he was doing.

Poki: "I'm playing with my mumuffin dolls."

Daddy: "Your what?"

Poki: "My um...my mumtufta dolls."

Daddy: "Do you mean your matryoshka dolls? Matryoshka."

Poki: "Sigh...no, Daddy. It's mumkufka. I know my Russian."

Hey! That Looks Like Something!

A few weeks ago (I know, I know...shame on my Mom for waiting to tell you until now), I was drawing on my kid's menu at the Ruby Restaurant (aka: Ruby Tuesdays), when suddenly, my mom realized what I was drawing looked like something. Like...a real something. And not my usual 100 swirls I claim is a tornado. No, this looked like a person! She couldn't believe her eyes!

She asked me what I was drawing and I said, "This way it's a guy with legs..."



"And this way, it's a guy with antennas!"

On The Move!

As some of you might remember, my Mom predicted that I would be crawling by my 7 month birthday. Surprisingly, I didn't. I mean, I've been scooting around in circles for a while now, but only in circles. Recently though, I started doing this:





Which made my Mom think I was just days away. Then I started moving backwards, like this:



But not really forward...until now.



I believe this is what they call the army crawl? I'm putting those elbow patches on my outfit to good use!

Pathetic Attempt at a Pumpkin Patch Picture

Mom and Dad: "Poki! Ping Pong! Look here guys! Ping Pong!"



Mom and Dad: "Ping Pong! Poki! Up here!"

Ping Pong: "What's that cool thing? It's awesome!"

Poki: "Dad's shoe..."



Mom and Dad: "Poooookiiii! Piiiiing Poooong!"

Poki: "Oh look--a tractor!"

Ping Pong: "Where??? Wait...what's a tractor?"



Mom and Dad: "Guys! Look at the camera!"

Ping Pong: "Whoa..."



Mom and Dad: "Oh--that's good Poki! Hold it! Ping Pong! Look here!"

Ping Pong: "Hey look--grass!"



Poki: "Bam Bam Bam! I'm playing a punkim drum, yeah yeah! Ba da da! Ba da dum!"

Ping Pong: "Where did all these big orange things come from?..."

Mom and Dad: "Ah hell...forget it."
