Hola!

We just got back from 5 days in Mexico. It was great! All we did was hang in the pool, lay out, eat good food, and bond as a family. Jost learned a new word while we were there "bar" (there was a swim-up bar at our place and Jost liked to order coconut slushies). Not sure if I should laugh about Jost requesting to go to a bar or if I should be embarrassed. :) Here's a couple pics from the trip!

Jost's First Halloween!

We were in Seattle for Jost's first Halloween (my sis is having a baby like NOW and she had a shower). The weather was perfect - crisp, partly sunny and not too cold. Jost was a train conductor and surprised all of us with his willingness to wear the hat part of his costume!

Baby Got Back

Jost dancing with the help of a LOT of sugar (we had cake for dessert)!

Sugar Overload

It was my birthday last week and Nick got me some great sweets from one of the best French bakeries in the bay, La Farine. We decided to let Jost have at it. Here is the photographic evidence. BEWARE - it's not pretty, but it's pretty funny!

YIKES! No posts in a month!

Here are some pictures from the last month. Baby J is getting HUGE. His new favorite words are - "Nooo", "PISSA" (translation: pizza), "Yes", "Gee" (for Boobers Magee our beagle), and "whastis?" (translation: what's this). I also had to add a picture of Jost's friend, Sefan. She is the cutest princess ever!

No Nap

This is the hilarity that was Jost at dinner tonight after having no nap (because we were celebrating Enkutatash in San Jose - Ethiopian New Year). It's pretty funny. And I am egging him on the whole time!

Boom Boom Pow

Jost and I were hanging out the other morning listening to some tunes. I played a variety of selections to see if I could entice him to break out his dance moves. He actually did dance to a Salt N Pepa song, but I was an idiot and didn't tape it because I can be technologically challenged. At any rate, he did a couple cute bootie bumps to "Boom Boom Pow" from the Black Eyed Peas. It's short, but sweet. Enjoy!
