Cora's Room

San Francisco: Cora & friends on the merry-go-round at Golden Gate Park

Make sure you turn your sound down low - or off. There is an annoying mother talking through this video of these three adorable little girls riding the merry-go-round in Golden Gate Park. The carousel is located at Koret's Children's Quarter, the oldest children's playground in the nation.

Dan, Jen & Allegra

Bob & Audrey

Oscar, Mary & Cip

Molly, Philip & Ella

...all came out for our toddler playdate in the park. It was a real treat to spend time with long time friends as parents. I think Dan even commented about us having kids while we were on the merry-go-round. I've known Dan since we were in 7th grade. Molly too. Oscar since college at USC and even though I've known Bob (and his wife Jenn) the least amount of time - it's still almost ten years.

Life is good. Sunny weekends in the park are important - make time for more of them.

Cora likes to jiggle.

This video of Cora is a few months old, but still a fun one to watch.

Cora's 2010 New Year's Resolutions

Mommy said I have to make a New Year's Resolution. I thought she said Elmo Solution - a way for me to skip ahead to Elmo's World when watching Sesame Street, but she told me to try again.

So, for my New Year's Resolution I'm going to eat more ice cream. This was only the third time I'd ever had it, but I already know this is the best food EVER.

Cora sings Old McDonald Had a Farm

E-I-E-I-ooooooh how cute! Mommy was singing to Cora and Cora immediately wanted to help. We nabbed her on video while she still wanted to sing Old McDonald Had a Farm. 11 months.

Mangoes are Great!!

Hi Everyone - Here's a short video of me eating something called a mango. That is some strong stuff, I tell you what. Check out Mommy and Uncle Jason laughing at my reaction. I will have my vengeance someday - oh yes.

Here's a Video of Mommy and I Having a Brief Conversation

Daddy challenges any of you to find something cuter than this. Here is Mommy and I discussing Obama's stimulus plan, which - while I have high hopes for it, could crash and burn under the weight of the underlying assets not supporting the monies allocated to them, or something like that.

Trust me, that's what were discussing. I'm also working on a coo-l translator for my cooing. Check it out, and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it. Bye.

Can Someone Please Give me a Hand...

Any old hand will do. You see, I've discovered my hand. I love sucking on it. It has replaced my beloved Binky as my favorite thing to put in my mouth, at least for now. Daddy tried to get me to show off my mad skills in this video, but in my opinion he only partially succeeded. Bye.

Nana Susan is the Bomb

Here I am playing with my Nana Susan on her recent trip. She has really been great to me. Her and Papa Jeff came to visit Mommy and Daddy, and gave them a night off recently so they could go see Johnny play the art rock.

Susan has done this before. She knows how to treat a baby, let me tell you what. She makes me feel very comfortable. Here she is slinging me around. Don't I look big? Come back soon Susan!

No Cameras, Please!

Some mornings, I'm just not ready for cameras. Apparently, in show business people call this being 'camera ready'. This morning, despite being in my uber cool 'Small Paul' Frank Hoodie, I just wasn't ready. This stuff cracks Daddy up.....I'm not amused. Bye.

I sleep like Bella the dog

Mommy's friends came down to visit at the end of the year. They're kinda silly. Uncle Scott took a video of us just hanging out. Daddy was out at a football game so Uncle Oscar held me a lot. I liked Bella, Scott and Julia's doggie. I liked her so much I took a little nap with her. Don't worry, I was mostly just showing off for the camera in case I have a future in Hollyweird.
