Super Bowl Sunday

49er Faithful

Scott didn’t really care if the Saints or the Colts won this last Sunday, he showed what kind of fan he is with his outfit…a NINER fan!! I wonder if he’ll be ready for his first tailgate next season…

It has to be said that my (Valerie) beloved Grandma Canfield, one of the all-time biggest 49er fans, bought me a very similar 49er sweatsuit when I was about Scott’s size. My mom bought this outfit for Scott on behalf of my Grandma as she knew that it is something she would have loved to see him in. I miss my grandma everyday and know she’s looking down from heaven smiling at our little niner fan!!

Bath Time!

happy and clean

Our little Scotty used to be pretty unsure of bath time, but recently has shown us he is a water baby. He kicks and splashes around during his nightly bath, he really loves being in the water. This is also a special time for Scott and his daddy, as Seth typically gives the baths and puts Scott down for the the night. Maybe he’ll take after his talented grandma Cindy when it comes to swimming!

I can sleep through the night!

Sleepy Scott

I slept from 7pm to 6am last night…mommy and daddy were VERY proud of me.

I Like Owls

Scott wore his owl tee for the first time this week. It was pretty special since it was his very first onesie, given to him by Auntie Beanie when he was probably about the size of a walnut. He says, “I like owls and I love Auntie Beanie!”

Sailors Take Warning

Seth: The old saying “Pink skies at night sailors delight, pink skies in morning sailors take warning,” rings true.

Beautiful sunrise just before the storms, from our front lawn.

All this rain and hearing reports of massive amounts of snow in the mountains have made me a little stir crazy. So the fam went to Montona DeOro to look at the massive waves.

Spooners cove is where big wave surfers come when the swell is too big for any other spot. The seas were angry and despite the big waves, no brave surfers.

Brave Mom and son.

Scott and Val

With the wind, rain and fussy baby (yeah thats right Scott does fuss, we should post more pictures of him fussing) we headed back. We were graced with a beautiful rainbow on our drive home. Does that mean its going to stop raining before the moat (sprinkler trenches filled with water) around our house spill over?

A little hope for us Californians who freak out when it rains more than an inch in a week.

My Bear

"Heyyy, you hang out here too?"

Valerie: I had to take a picture of Scott smiling at his bear thing that hangs on his swing. He is really becoming more aware/fascinated with toys and just the world in general.

Reading with Daddy

We try to read to Scott every day, he usually only makes it through a short book or a few pages of a longer story. Last night, however, Scott listened and looked on in fascination as Seth read one of the Babar books (from Grandma Neuschwander). He loved reading with his daddy!

Scott’s First “Sleepover”

Hanging out with Grandpa

Valerie: Scott had such a great time with Grandma and Grandpa this past weekend! The LEVEL company party was taking place at San Jose’s Hayes Mansion on Saturday night; for the past few years LEVEL pays for everyone to have a hotel room as part of the fun. Grandma and Grandpa Neuschwander volunteered to watch Scott for the entire night so Seth and I could enjoy the party and stay over. Everyone got along great, Scott went down to sleep with a smile and slept for 6 hours (ie. “through the night,” for a baby). Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for letting us have a great time at the party!

Scott’s New Friend Trajan

Trajan Coalwell

Scott and I went to visit the Coalwell Family today, just recently made a family of three. Trajan was born on January 4th, what a cutie! His most striking feature is certainly his thick head of hair, check that out!

Scott was so excited to meet his new friend, he peed himself. Okay, he always pees himself, but this one leaked out of his diaper. Congratulations, Lauri and Garon!

Trajan, 1 week and Scott, 9 weeks

Scott’s First Time at Church

We decided Scott was old enough to attend church, so off we went to Grace, Scott looking spiffy in his overalls. We stayed out in the pews during worship, Scott sitting with dad and listening quietly. After Pastor Ken finished making a few announcements, he sat down next to us for the service. Scott decided that would be a good time for a blast, and proceeded to take a large and very audible dump. We were all chuckling, especially Pastor Ken. Maybe that’s just Scott’s way of telling us he likes going to Grace Church.
