Dog Days of Summer

Boy, this summer has been jam-packed full of activities that I haven't even had time to post any new blog entries! I've been busy making new friends, traveling to Connecticut to visit with the Rivera side of my family, having fun with Grandma Dar and Aunt Sandy while they are in Baltimore visiting me, going to concerts in the park with my buddies, attending birthday parties, and getting ready for my big summer vacation! As you can tell, I'm quite the socialiate for an 11 month old. I take after my Uncle Elliot in that department :)

Here I am with my Uncle Richie and Lynne and Uncle Johnny and Desirae at Grammy and Grandpa Rivera's house in Connecticut. I love my uncles, but honestly, that crazy dog Elvis is my personal favorite! We like to take turns licking each other's faces! Elvis also likes to sit right next to my high chair when I eat...for some reason he's extra friendly during those feeding times.

Even with all this activity, I have still managed to perfect my crawling and mobility skills. I can get around pretty darn quickly these days...sometimes my mommy can't even keep up with me! I have found that I can get into mischief pretty easily, so my mommy and daddy started putting up these darn gates. I'm not a happy camper when those things come out--they get in the way of my "Search and Destroy" mode that my Daddy affectionately calls my mischievious activity. Jacob and I like to check out small places together, and occassionally we get stuck!

Here I am with my friends, Lily and Lucy at the concert in Patterson Park. I enjoyed eating all of Lucy's watermelon and pita bread for dinner, and I didn't care for any of the crap my mommy packed for me. Lucy's was much better!

Stay tuned for more pictures and stories from my vacation in Rhode Island!!! (By the way-my mommy finally got on the bandwagon and learned how to do this blog thing, so she's helping me out now) Later moons...
