Me: “Hey mom, why do they sometimes call Curious George, ‘Jorge?’”
Mom: “Well, when you pronounce names in different langauges, they sound different. Because, remember, the letters in Spanish sound different than the letters in English.”
Me: “Like the A is called ‘Ah’!
Mom: “Right! So Annabel is sometimes called Ah-nah-BELL. And you know what my name is in Spanish? I’m called SAAAW-DAAH.”
Me: “You know what I’m sometimes called? BAAAT MAAN.”
Annabel is 9 months old now (16lbs and 27.5 inches) and starting to move around on her own. She wiggles, throws things, lunges, and can do a kinda backwards crawl thing.
She was playing before bed and I think she’d had too much dinner. I like to watch the end of this video again and again and again.
We went this weekend to Vancouver to check out the excitement of having the Olympics in town. We didn’t see any events, just enjoyed walking around a great city in the midst of the fanfare. I won a couple medals of my own and Annabel and I entertained the masses with our usual antics. Our friends Megan and Zubin joined us and Viviana came too!
It was pretty packed – long lines everywhere.

I am so helpful! I was asked to entertain Annabel and get her a few toys so mom and dad could get ready to take us to watch the Super Bowl at my friend’s house.
I got her some toys, and offered myself up as a toy as well:
Annabel makes a new funny face (and we’re so proud that she has enough hair for a clip now!):
I switched out of my LSU jersey so I could wear a BLACK one to root for the Saints.
My buddy Will and I spent the day at Safeco Field – everyone’s getting excited for the season to start on April 12th. They told us they needed help making sure all the equipment was in working order, we were just the right guys for the job.
We fielded questions and debated strategies.
We tested the microphones to make sure they could handle cheering:
We tested the turf and the bases to make sure they were up to snuff for the players. Will and I can run pretty fast.
I slid into 3rd base, but was tagged OUT.
We even warmed the bench for a bit.
GOOOOO Mariners!
