Uncle Bob took us sailing this weekend to take advantage of Indian summer! We sailed from Santa Cruz to Capitola, and then we were shuttled to the beach so we could hit the wine bar. I wasn’t scared at all, and didn’t cry once… I guess wine has a sedative effect.

Mom and I are still spending a lot of time walking around the marina on weekends because it’s still so nice out! This really is the best time of year in California. Daddy says the harbor is like the Serengeti with all the spotted seals and exotic birds. Here we are walking… look closely and you’ll see our boat across the harbor!

We strolled around the Live Oak Farmers’ Market on Sunday. I’ve never seen so many vibrant and colorful fruits, veggies, and flowers. Mommy was scoping out the carrots, peas, apples, green beans, and sweet potatos because she’s getting antsy to feed me solids. She’s dusting off the Magic Bullet with me in mind. Organic baby food… how very Santa Cruz!

Although mom’s excited to introduce me to a variety of foods, so far I’ve only eaten rice cereal. Chewing is such a novel sensation! Daddy bought me 6 spoons of my very own, all different colors to catch my attention. Notice the girly bib though… not sure what he was thinking.

During the week, Daddy and I are spending a lot of time renovating the house. We’re planning to move in this winter, and then rent it out during the summers. I’m very patient with Daddy as he shovels loads in and out of our truck at the dump (called Buena Vista Landfill)! Here I am helping him pick out materials at Home Depot (tiny picture of a wee little baby!).
