This is me and Kristen.
Kristen is good to know because she makes a fabulous peach cobbler.

Everyday I have some sweet nudie time. It's good for the soul. Plus it keeps my bum soft.

Well, I slept in my own crib last night. I slept all night. 11 1/2 hours. My mom is extremely happy today. She's calling everyone and telling them how long I slept. Jeez, I coulda done that way earlier if I knew how happy it'd make her.


This is a picture of me in my playground. I love my playground, there's lots of things hanging from the bars to play with and I can just lie here and hit the things or grab them and put them in my mouth. I am enjoying putting everything in my mouth right now to taste it and feel it. I can also shriek with joy and babble a lot using my outside voice. Then I also started rolling over quite a bit which is really fun. I go both ways. I'm a bi-roller. I roll from my back to my front and look around and then I bend my one leg up and lay my head back and just let it roll from my front to my back again. Yeah, it's pretty easy I guess. I mean, once you know how to do something it's easy and fun. Am I right?

Mother has stroller envy. She cannot pass a woman pushing her child in a stroller without looking at it and thinking her life would somehow be better if she could have THAT stroller. There are so many strollers out there too. My God! Bugaboo Strollers, for example, there's the Bugaboo Gecko. The functional minimalism keeps your child comfortable in the woods, back in the city and even on the beach. A unique 3-in-1 design adapts for car seats, reversible bassinet and reversible seat. How can you not want one! While your child slumbers in her bassinet, you tuck her in the corner of the tapas bar allowing you to comfortably sip cocktails in the late afternoon with the other moms. And for only $759.00 - it's a "must-have!"
And there are so many more, The Joovy caboose, The Maclaren Twin Triumph, The Peg Perego, the list goes on.
Then there's The Jogger. We have one of those. We use it when we take Maggie and Finlay to Elysian Park. I'm not sure why they call it a Jogger though 'cause mommy just walks and pants the whole way.

This is my ride.
Mommy calls it my taxi.
It's a Graco.
Graco was rated the safest infant car seat in an article in the LA Times in January 2007. So mommy ran out and bought one right away. Actually her friend Pat bought it for her. What a nice guy. Anyway, I was sitting in my taxi today and thinking about my feet. I noticed my feet last week for the first time and they are great. I held one in my hand and I'm thinking right now that later tonight when I get home I'm gonna put one of my feet in my mouth.

I went to see Dr. Sweeny today and had more shots. I like Dr. Sweeny, he has a good sense of humor. A good sense of humor is the most important thing when you pick a doctor. I know this because when my mommy and daddy changed insurance companies after daddy got his new job at Funny or Die they were worried about getting to stay with Dr. Sweeny and they said it was because he had a good sense of humor.
Today they weighed me and checked how tall I am. I guess right now I'm not really tall but rather just long. 24 inches long. I am 12 and a half pounds and they said I was in the 30 percentile.
Then me and mommy went for breakfast with Gram and Grampa. They took us to The Coffee Table. Mommy ordered bacon and Grampa wanted to eat some of it but then he decided it wasn't crunchie enough and so mommy got to eat all three pieces.

This is me with my cousin Sloan and her new boyfriend. Sloan is a wonderful journalist and also beautiful like royalty. Her boyfriend is so nice and also takes a fabulous picture. At least that's what my daddy said, and then my mommy said, "Have you always been so gay?"




This is me with my cousin Cody. Isn't she so pretty! When I grow up I hope she'll show me how short to keep my skirt.

Today I am 4 months old. I had a great week this week. I rolled over again (after Roll-over Monday) on Thursday from my front to my back. I did it three times in a row and I had a witness. I mean besides my mommy. One of mommy's clients, Jenny B, saw it too. Anyway, I also started babbling quite a bit. I like babbling and shrieking with joy too.

Today we are going to a surprise birthday party for my great aunt Randee. This is the card daddy made for her.

Roll Over Mondays
Today I rolled over for the first time! I tried on the floor in the morning many times but just couldn't get all the way over. However, as you can see, I was not alone and this pussy, Lottie, was slightly intimidating.
Then later, mommy took me to the bedroom and took off my diaper and then I rolled over. It's easier when you're naked.
Mommy yelled, "Rachel! Come! Hurry! Jaffe just rolled over!" I think she was shocked. I was a bit shocked too, I have to admit. My head is bloody heavy. Rachel came running in, she was on the phone. She saw me on my belly and said, "Oh my God, Jaffe just rolled over!" into her cell phone.
That's when I learned that good news travels fast.

Rachel and Alex have the most beautiful apartment in Greenwich Village. I have my own bedroom and bathroom while I'm visiting. And their apartment has so many cupboards. It makes me want to open them all and see what's in there. They must have so many important things to need so many cupboards. At our house in Silverlake we don't have enough cupboard space for mommy to put all her important things. She needs to complain about that a lot.

I'm making a mug for my daddy for Father's Day.

June 1st, 2007

This is my new hat.
RayRay gave it to me. What a nice lady!
I have lots of feelings today.
It's confusing.
I'm excited and happy to visit Rachel and Alex and stay at their fabulous, huge loft apartment in the big city.
But I miss my daddy.
So I can feel both happy and sad at the same time. Imagine!
