Supervising the lamb

Next year I expect him to rotate it.

Musical

We lost the mallet for the xylophone but this toy rake apparently works just a's well

Nick finds hole in ground fascinating

A hole in the ground is so much more interesting than the dog. Poor dog. She just wanted to play soccer ball.

Nick on a bike ride

Not quite Tour of California, but we are getting close.

Always check tire pressure before you go. Must be 120 psi.

All our stuff.

Checking the brakes

Is this securely attached?

Bored now. Let's go.

Good hydration is important.

Ready. Get this thing moving, dad!

Amgen Tour of California

Nick and Thomas went to see the fourth stage of the Amgen Tour of California bike race. As far as they are concerned, they got to sit on the ground, then it got really loud for a little while, and then they went to the park. Their moms, for some reason, were very fascinated by a bunch of guys on bikes.

Lots of kid pictures are here. Bike rider pictures, for those who care, are here.

Nick: Dude, your Sophie is upside down.
Thomas: No, dude, yours is upside down.

Lemon. Good for teething. Or not.

Nick playing in the sandbox

It's amazing how long he can entertain himself in there. At least he's not trying to eat the sand any more...

Look similar?

The Nick on a log

A long time ago:

The mom on a rock.

More Nick pictures on logs and in dirt are here, courtesy of Tatiana.

Nick at the Grand Cafe

Chinatown

Nick at the bench in San Francisco Chinatown

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, eat bread. Wait, what?

Nick finds woofing amusing

I have no comment on this.

Silicon Valley lifestyle

Georges riding at Rancho San Antonio while talking on her cellphone. And not using a hards-free headset either! Tsk! Tsk!

Eating the good stuff

Normally eating is a very distracted affair. It involves trying to do anything but eat.

But when it comes to Greek goat stew we have complete focus, dedication and interest.

Today for dinner

The dogs got pasta, cheese, and blueberries, served by Nick from his high chair.

Let's go Giants! Again!

Nick got to go to another Giants game. First time he got to sit behind the home plate. Today he got to go to the Zynga suite. Spoiled much?

Nice view from up here, guys! What's that? Some people sit in the
bleachers? No thanks, I like this much better!

What is he teaching him?

Because it starts like this, and ends up like this: Pasok Rally

Nick and Polly playing

Why you shouldn't let your child spend too much time around labradors: they end up playing with tennis balls and shredding newspapers.

Spaghetti fail

Spiral left

Nick at Rally class. I walked him almost through the whole spiral exercise, but then he decided to sit. That's points off, you know.
