I love you little Bailey!!

I love my little brother. He makes me laugh and is so cute and we have fun together even though he won't always jump into my arms when I ask him to. We've started hugging a lot lately and I always say, "Look, mom! Look! We're hugging!" She loves that.

I've got Bauer in my sights...

I'm playing 'CTU Operative' with daddy.
I'm undercover.
My mom and dad are watching the TV show '24' now on Netflix. They're watching season 2, only like, 6 years behind the rest of the world. Old people.

Lunch...

What's in this?

Mommy made it...it tastes okay, I guess, but I don't know...I can't wait to make my own food. I like doing things myself. I say, 'I'll do it.' And mom will say, 'You're just like Jaffe, have to do everything by yourself, it takes so much longer, let me help you.' I usually just put up a bit of a fight then she's stomps away irritated.
I'm putting on my own pants now. It's easy, one leg at a time, then stand up and pull up the front...but then I usually yell, 'help!' and mom comes and pulls up the back of the pants over my bum.

My Mommy Needed a Time Out

This is me in my snow white dress that Jaffe and daddy put on me. I'm going to check at the door to see if mommy is home yet.
I love mommy.
My mommy needed a time out the other day. Me and Jaffe were both crying, because we both love her so much and want her to pick us up and carry us around all day, or at least half of the day. I was yelling, "Mommy! Mommy! S'cuse me! Mommy!" Anyway, she said, "I need a time out!" and went and locked herself in the bathroom for a while. Seemed like hours and hours to me. She was in a better mood when she came out though.

Happy Canada Day!!

This is my cousin Lola! She's super Canadian!

Please & Thank-you.

I will give you a kiss if you ask me nicely.
I always say please, and thank-you now, so I expect the same manners from you, please and thank-you.

Yo Yo Yo!

It's B boy here, shout out to my little honey's in LA, I'm heading to New Mexico to hang with my Tucson crew, don't be missin' me, babies, I'll be home soon.

Happy Father's Day Daddy

Vivre ma Soeur

I like to say, "noise" when I hear things and I swear to god the other day my mom told her friend I was a genius. It's so embarrassing. I'm not a genius I just heard a noise, mom. It's a pretty simple thing. Anyway, I say a whole lot of words now, like bubbles and Jaffe, and I'm talking in three word sentences and it's pretty fun.
In other news, my dad taught me how to say "fart." Thanks dad.
What else. I'm pretty much just mimicking Jaffe now, and yesterday I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I was carrying a fabulous handbag, wearing a few bangles and some bright purple beads. I was also enjoying my first jean dress. Wonderful. Airy. And pushing a stroller with my dog in it. Now, some might judge this picture. Me? "Vivre ma soeur!' That's what I say.

Hiking in Griffith Park with Daddy

At the Big Table

I'm a human boy with feelings and needs. I deserve to eat at the big table along with everyone else. I need to feed myself and at the big table. Finally my daddy complied this morning and I ate my eggs on a proper plate at the big table. Next time let's lose the yellow plastic fork people!

Shopping carts...

I like to push this shopping cart fast to the top of the stairs and teeter it over the edge and then pause, just long enough for my mom to see me and yell, "Bailey! Get away from the stairs!" Hah! I could do that a thousand times!

Fountains & Girls

Moi? Je suis un artiste.

I love you mommy!

Duet

Jaffe and I are wearing the same clothes now.
Shirts, shorts, dresses.
Kidding, just kidding. I'm not wearing her shorts.

My sister. Shades, Sachel, Ready to Rock!

JOY RIDE WITH JAFFE

Sounds like...

The words I say that sound like cock.
Truck.
Trash truck.
Sock.

Who sleeps?

Does Bailey look like Jaffe or does Jaffe look like Bailey?

Can you tell?

These are my parents...

...and I feel, in a lot of ways, I don't stand a chance...

Three boys!

Three boys.
Three generations of Antzis men.
Me now.
Me at 40.
And me at 70.
I look pretty damn good!

My daddy's Droid phone.

My daddy took this picture today on his Droid phone. (Daddy loves his Droid phone very much.) I love my daddy very much, I like to run into his arms and say Daddy! Daddy! I also like to say, "I want up," "I want down" and "All done." But my biggest passion right now is climbing. I like to climb onto the top of the couch and hang over the back and let go. I started to skooch along the top yesterday on my knees and I'm thinking I'll start walking up there soon. We'll see how it goes, basically how open my mom is to that idea. ..

Sexy Bailey Boy

How do you spell see saw?

A couple weeks ago daddy took us to the park and we played on the see saw.
How do you spell see saw? See Saw? Sea Saw? Sesaw? Sesau?

Seizures & Temper Tantrums

I am very happy almost all the time.

Except the other day I had my first febrile seizure and that was not fun. I was hot and tired and my body hurt and I just wanted to cry a lot.
I threw a lot of fits, over a 3-4 day period, which my mom finally decided were temper tantrums.
But now, that my fever is gone and I’m feeling better I’m not throwing them anymore. I think I grew a whole bunch in a short time and I’m also teething which is super painful, in case you don’t remember.

Anyway, things are better now and I’m happy again, most of the time.

I like to run!

I like to run! I run and then look behind me and if my mommy is running after me then I laugh and turn and run faster!

Gram & Me

Mine!

I am about 15 months old. I finally weigh 20 pounds.
Mommy and Daddy have taught me a bunch of words.
Car, ball, dog, hat, more, banana, hi, bye bye, hat, mama, dada, and a whole bunch more.
I can even say, “I want up.”
But Jaffe finally taught me a word too. “Mine!”

Whenever I see something that’s Jaffe’s, which is almost everything you can see, I run towards it and yell, "Mine!" Most of the time she gets there first and hits me and yells, "Mine! That’s mine, Bailey! Mine! Do not touch this. This is mine."

Mommy has been talking a lot lately about sharing. Either that or she'll just take it all away. 'Give our stuff away to our friends,' that's what she keeps saying.

BATH SERIES

#1. GETTIN' CLEAN

Just me and the girls, takin' a bath.
Gettin' clean.
That's all.

"Roar!"

I'm almost 15 months now. I love to run especially when I'm being chased. I'm also signing a little bit- probably would sign more if my mom would teach me a few more signs - and I've also started talking too. I say more, roar, nana (for banana), no, oh oh, mama and dada and sometimes (according to gram) I say book.

A Little Duet

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

It's good to have an older sister.
Sure, they're bossy, and take whatever they want whenever they want it, but they also take care of you when you need it most. Like at the playground. Jaffe puts me between her legs and we go down the slide together. I love her.

Bailey Talks

Sometimes after dinner, I put up my feet (or at least one foot) and chill, and just chat with my mama.

Bottles

Is it easier to take a bottle from a little baby or from a grown man baby?

My First Christmas in the Snow!!

My first real Christmas, where I met Santa and went on a sleigh ride and opened Christmas presents from under a tree, was at my mamie Cathou and bubba Dawson's house in Canada.
Bubba and mamie got us a bouncy house to play in and it was so much fun going down the slide.
I also hung out with my Uncle Brant who pretends to be very aloof but was always whispering how much he loved me in my ear. He'll deny it if you ask him, but I'm telling you for real.

Balaclava what?

Okay, is my mom getting ready to rob a bank?
I'm embarrassed to be with her right now...can you tell?

Spot the Dawson

Can you spot him? ...keep looking...

Bailey Walks Like a Man

I Can Walk!

This is video of me pushing my car but today I walked without holding onto anything. I was at the end of year Giggles & Grassstains party for Jaffe and I took a few steps and my mom hit my dad and said, "Bailey just walked! Those are his first steps!" She was ridiculously happy, it's amazing to me what makes her happy these days. I think it's because she figures she'll have to do a lot less laundry when I'm not crawling around on the floor all the time. She's always talking about strapping rags onto my legs so I can dust the floor. I say, clean your own floor, woman. Anyway, everyone gathered around and I did a bunch more walking, a few steps at a time. I think walking is okay, but perhaps a bit overrated.

Bailey at Breakfast

I'm hangin' here waitin' for some food.
Enough pictures, more food!

Me & Ma

I'm one year old!

I'm in Tucson and my gram and bubba threw an awesome birthday party for me!
I am one year old!
I can do two signs, "more" and "thank-you." I can blow my nose which delights my mommy EVERY single time! I will also kiss you if you ask me to. I'm still not walking yet but I'm very close.
Gotta go now and take a poo.
