Move over William Shatner - my daughter wants your job! Cora loves playing with iPhone and iPad apps. This week she ventured away from her usual toddler apps to try something new.

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.
