viva san antonio!

hello from san antonio! mom and dad and i had a great time on our first mini-vacation as a little family. we have loads of pictures to share, but first an update on my spots...

as you can see, they got even worse and so mommy took lots of pictures. they itched a little bit and looked funny, but i survived and am now back to normal - yahoo! here's a picture of my bohiny that mommy couldn't help but take and include here. before long this kind of stuff will be inappropriate on the internet (eek!) but i'm still young enough that it's okay. :) plus who can resist that round little tooshy?!

okay, now for a recap on our san antonio fun! at first we went to the alamo...

the alamo itself was cool and all, but you have to be quiet inside and aren't allowed to touch anything, so i didn't go in. that was fine with me though, because i just wanted to play outside and explore!

how cool is this tree? the branches are so big and heavy that wire cables are actually used to support them. weird...

here i am eating a rock in front of a really big cactus (note: i did not try to eat the cactus)...

this is one of about 700 shots of me chasing this bird. his name was pedro. he wasn't scared of me and so i followed him all over! it was cute. but eventually i got a little too close and he did fly away. adios pedro!

more pictures...

this was at a mexican restaurant where we ate on saturday. i was amazed by the giant mural of famous hispanics...

then the waiter spilled salsa all over mommy! it got all over her shirts and jeans. i couldn't believe it!

it turned out okay, though, because the manager gave her this killer t-shirt for free, to replace her gap sweater. score! just what she wanted. when i hit puberty, i think i will grow a mustache like the nice muchacho on mommy's shirt... ole.

here i am "bonking" a giant bear (don't worry - it was stuffed!). i "bonk" something with my forehead like this when i like it and want to show affection. usually i do this to people, but i also do it to stuffed animals now, and even hard plastic toys sometimes. anyway, i really liked this bear and i think he liked me too...

okay, that's all for now. there are lots more pictures from our weekend. you can check them out at www.picasaweb.google.com/rachel.lehman. mommy hasn't uploaded them quite yet, but she will soon. so check there when you want to see more of me! and a special note to mimsie and grandpa - can't wait to see you on friday!!!!!!!!!!!! :) bye, everyone!
