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.

Saturdays With The Buczaczers

Hi Everyone -

Recently, I went over to the Buczaczers house to hang out with my friends.  You might remember Allegra Buczaczer from my post My Friend Allegra back when I was a little baby.  Allegra has been schoolin' me on the baby game for a while now, and she's been really helpful.

Now, I got a chance to get some wisdom from Allegra's grandpa, Mike.  Here he is droppin' some knowledge on me.  Check out my focus.

So, after Mike was done breaking it down for me, I took a meeting with Allegra to compare notes.  I think she was a little surprised at how far I'd come.  Check it.

We were just chatting away, when all of a sudden, Mommy ambushed us with the camera!   Hi Mommy!!

All in all, it was a very enlightening day with the Buczaczers.  Thanks to Allegra, her mommy and daddy, and Grandpa Mike for all the knowledge (and to Grandma Pat for the watermelon!).  See you guys soon!!

My Friend Aly

Me and my friend Aly get to play a lot.  My Mommy & Daddy met her Mommy & Daddy at a Mommy & Daddy class, and it turns out she was born about a week after me.  I'm looking forward to hanging out with her as we both are the same age.  Aly's Mommy is from some place called South Africa, and she talks funny just like the people I just met on my recent trip to England.

Aly says babies are supposed to sleep through the night, and she has two whole toothies...I only have one!  I'm going to bed now, and push reeeealy hard so can get at least two toothies...Not that it's a competition, cause its not.  bye.

Uncle Jonny Came to Town

My Uncle Jonny plays the pop rock music, and he was on tour playing at some place called the 'Belly Up' with his band.  Daddy used to be Jonny's manager when Daddy was managing the intelligent art rock rock.

Mommy and Daddy left me with Susan and Jeff for the night.  This is the first time we have been apart.  Mommy's milk tasted funny when she got back, but boy did I sleep well.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but Daddy has been busy quitting his job, and talking to people on the phone.  Here's a picture of Jonny and me.  I promise more updates soon.  Bye.

Somewhere in the AfterGlo

This is my friend Glo.  Daddy says she's called Glo cause she would Glo in the dark.

I pretty much wanted to show off my uber hip Paul Frank hoodie.  This was given to me by my friend Allegra's mommy and daddy.  As you can see in this pic, I'm wearing the hoodie, and I'm in LA, so I felt it was my right to cop a little attitude.

Glo works with Daddy talking into a camera.  People seem to be pointing a lot of cameras at me lately.  It doesn't really bother me, but I wonder where all those pictures go?  I have to go to the bathroom now.  No Cameras, please.

Bye.

More LA Trip - My Next Crush

A long time ago (ok, so it was only a few days, but when you're only five weeks old, that's a looooong time) I told you about my crush on Xander Gordon.

Now, I have a new muse.  His name is Rider.  He's an older man, but he's never been married.  He has dreamy blond hair.  Plus, I'm starting to think practically, like my Daddy does.  Xander is going to be like 9 feet tall, cause his Daddy is 6' 8", and his Mommy is 6 foot.  Rider's mommy and daddy are normal sized, and since I'm in the 50th percentile for height, it might be a better match.  Here's a picture of Rider when we were hanging out at Manhattan Beach recently.

Bye.

What does the OC mean?

Mommy took me on my first trip out of San Diego today. We went to Fashion Island in the OC. We went to go visit with some friends she went to college with. Mommy says I will have to go to college too someday but Daddy says we'll see.

I'll want to go to USC like Mommy did if I make friends as nice as the Welsh girls. That's me with Reilly (left), Dana (Mommy's college roommate) and Berklee (right). They got a Wii for Christmas. Mommy says someday we'll all play Guitar Hero together.

About the OC - I think it's a place where you have to take your dog shopping. We saw so many dogs at Fashion Island the humans were tripping over them.

Bye.

One More Doctor

Today. some friends came over to see me.

This is Dr Pauly.  He seems different than my other Doctors, Dr. Shipp and Dr. Clementino, but he knows an awful lot about the pills mommy is taking for her surgery, so I guess he must be a Doctor.

Pauly and his girlfriend, Change100, came over and we apparently went out to lunch.  I was sacked out the whole time, as Mommy gave me my lunch right before we left.

Aunt Michelle is coming over tomorrow, as well as Uncle Jason.  Mommy has lots of family.  I like them all.....so far.  :)

Bye.

My New Best Friend

The other day, I posted about my new friends.  Let me introduce you now to my new bestest friend in the whole world.

This is my binky.  Mommy and Daddy waited to introduce me for a couple weeks, but I don't know why - I love my binky.  When I am fussy, Mommy or Daddy sticks this in my mouth, and I am off to blissful binkdom.  Here we are living in happy unison.

Thanks for being my friend, Binky.

I Think I Need a Facebook Page

For most of my life, Mommy and Daddy have been my only friends.  But, now I suddenly have all kinds of friends.  Yesterday, Mommy and I went to the coffeehouse to meet my new friend Jessica and her mommy.  Jessica is only a month older than me, so we related to each other's problems. 

Today, Peter, Gwyn and Stephen came over.  Their mommy is a friend of my mommy's since 2nd grade.  They live in England, which I learned today means they talk funny.  Here we are in a 'photo op'.

They are very nice and funny.  Gwyn is very nice, and also acted like a substitute mommy for me.

All my friends are pooping me out.  I might need one of those Facebook pages all the kids have so I can keep track of all my friends.  I'm going to sleep now.  Bye.
