Little Drummer Boy

The kid really has a knack for this.

He insists on using the real sticks, and he immediately sensed the next break.

I'm just saying.

Signed,

G-Pa

Solly dancing to the dreidal song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5048PedPMk


Solly had a blast while we put up the tree and unpacked all the holiday decorations. He especially loved the toys that played the dreidal song ( one is a kids toy, the other is a dogs toy but who's checking). You can see he has his own special way of dancing - we're thinking of calling it the Solly Twirl!

A really nice day at Bradley's, once we managed to get there.

Here are some BlackBerry photos...

They don't look too sure about this



Wait, that is NOT milk



Not at Bradley's, but an uppie-down in the jammies that Grandma bought

Solly at FDP Convention at Disney and other random stuff

We had a great weekend in Orlando at the FDP Convention/Disney Yacht and Beach Club -- spent a lot of time with the whole Maddox campaign crew - great to be with those folks again. Solly and all the kids ( who are so much older now, I can hardly call them kids) had a blast - we spent lots of time with Chris and Raquel, got lots of fun in the sun in ( I even went down the BIG water slide - Jack wasnt taking no for an answer) and even some good quality family time, a nice dinner Saturday night and check out this walk on the pier...

John ended up going swimming with us on Sunday instead of attending the rest of the convention and I think Solly really liked playing in the pool with Daddy. All in all - a wonderful weekend!!!

Learning how to wave that campaign already!!

Daddy and Solly watching the marching band come in to "open" the FDP Convention -- he wasnt as impressed or excited as I thought he would be - maybe cause the hordes of people there was kinda overwhelming at that point. He lasted a few hours but had a meltdown before Scott's speech and I didnt want to be "THAT" person in the convention hall, you know, the one with the crying baby.




Uncle Chris insisted Solly meet our next U.S. Senator, Congressman Meek



Solly is not smiling behind those hands, he was not liking that big Goofy one bit!



Not too happy Donald Duck is sitting next to Mommy.



"Dad, There is a big Duck at our table, dont let him eat me"




"Whew, now that the big duck is gone I can enjoy my Micky Mouse Waffles"



Solly, Uncle Chris and Aunt Raquel at the Maddox Dance Party



Clapping along with the music!


Just Chillin with Jack.



Solly on the dance floor w/Monkey, Jack and Denver. Each one took turns dancing with him - he was loving it! They are all sooooo good with him -- I have LOTS of babysitters!!



"I'm ready to hit that slide!"


Solly's first trip down the kiddy slide - Mommy was def more scared than he was!



Solly and Carter must have gone down that kiddy slide like 100 times. Solly also took turns with Montgomery, Jack and Denver - after each trip down he kinda swam back to the steps and made his way back to the slide - he loved it!


Solly playing with the kids and Aunt Raquel - they had an excellent game of "splash!"


Solly getting a lift from Carter!





Hanging w/Uncle Joe and Daddy watching the Gators kick some "tushy"





And I go in...





And I go out....

Solly Walks!!

I know I am woefully behind on updating the blog w/pictures and stories - and even now I donot have the time to say and do what I want to. However, we finally got video of Solly walking up on youtube so I thought I'd post it and then follow back up later this week with more stuff.

Just note - September 29th was the day Solly officially walk walked - at daycare of course - but here is some shots -- keep in mind, it is v. hard to capture Mr. Solomon in action cause as soon as he sees a camera he stops doing whatever it is you want to shoot and starts reaching for the camera...
