Look who's laughing...

Playing "scary" peek-a-boo with Daddy
In the bath with Mommy (warning...he gets water in his mouth but he is fine..don't freak out lol)

In other news....
 He loves holding onto Mommy's thumb while he is eating
 He is also trying to hold his bottle!!
 Daddy found out Drake likes to sit in his bumbo seat to play with his toys
He is trying to be a big boy and balance on one foot
He can almost touch the floor but still needs  book so he can bounce

So that is the update on Drake..not much news on the rest of us.
Mommy is still looking for a job and Daddy is working hard everyday in the hot hot sun!
McLovin is still his dumb self and Toupe is skinny as ever...poor old lady kitty, but she is still doing well!!

This was our Saturday...

We decided to head to LA again and check out Griffith Observatory. On our way there we stopped at Gloria's Cafe (a little Mexican hole in the wall we saw on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives!) It was delicious...sorry we didn't take pictures there :)

Drake slept all the way there, but he was awake for the observatory. Next time we go we will be going at night, on a weeknight, and we will take Drake's carrier...no room for a stroller with all those people!!

Parking was interesting...we had to park about a mile down the mountain and walk up to the Observatory. It was a nice walk though, awesome views and a nice breeze the whole time!

At the observatory we got to see all kinds of stuff about the sun, moon, and stars. We even saw the periodic table they have there with all the elements and the Hollywood sign!! Here are a few pics from our visit :)

Look who found his tongue...

So as I am sure you guessed from the title of this entry Drake has discovered his tongue! He has been sticking it out all day long today and laughs if you stick your tongue out back at him. He is growing so quickly and seems like he figures something new out everyday :) Here are more pictures of Drake and his "new" tongue!

We decided to let Drake try some fruit and since he can't have the actual fruit we gave him some fruit juice. We would just squeeze whatever fruit we were eating onto a spoon and see what would happen. We are only doing 1 fruit a day...just in case we discover an allergy (or the poops!!)
He has tried plums (thanks to Daddy), oranges (thanks to Mommy) and as of last night watermelon (thanks to both of his parents!) He LOVED all of them :) We hope this trend continues...we hope to have a little boy that eats what his parents eat since his Daddy loves to cook (and his Mommy loves to eat!!) What fruit should he try next??
oh--sorry its sideways..I can't figure out how to change it lol
