It's been a great two weeks, part of which I spent with my buddy Akiva.  We had a ball together with his mommy Michelle and, of course, with my mommy who's always caring and lots of fun.  When they would take a break from backgammon and XBox, Bentzy (Akiva's daddy) and my dad would join in, like when we went into the pool and splashed around.  Now that was lots of ... ? ... I'll just say fun again, because my vocabulary isn't that developed yet.  You'll just have to look at the pictures below to see for yourself how much ... ? .. uh ... fun it was!  Now where was I?  My attention span is in development too, just like my vocabulary.  Oh, yes, vocabulary, that's what I wanted to tell you about - I'm expanding it from ga-ga-ga-ing and goo-goo-go-ing to more sophisticated stuff like ew-ew-ing and uh-uh-ing and there are a few movies with yours truly to prove it, but my dad still hasn't figured out how to put them on my site so that you could download them real time over your connection.

We also took a ride to Palm Beach together and it was fun because we got lost for a while.  Then we went to Flagler's Museum, but they wouldn't let us in because of my vechicle and Akiva's (our strollers) and even without them they wouldn't let us in with our bottles of food (which we always have to have with us).  Another day we had a lot of fun at the pottery place, where they put paint on my feet and made an imprint on the vase my mom painted (Akiva did one with his hand prints).  All would be fun, fun, fun, if it weren't for this pain I had the last few days (and nights - mommy's comment).  I can feel the two bottom teeth in the front with my tongue and I can even see them when they bring me in front of a mirror...

I'll have to take a break now - I need to concentrate on the top teeth which haven't shown up yet, but I can tell they're coming out, because IT HURTS!  Anyway, take a look at the pics and have... fun.
