Then and Now at Monterey Bay Aquarium

My visit to Monterey Bay Aquarium on July 6th was my third visit there, one of my favorite places. My first time was in March of 2007. I was only 4 months old. I was hosting my cousin, Shea, who was twice my age then -- 8 months! He was visiting us from New York.

So do you ever wonder how much I've changed?  Here you go.

Then:  I was an adorable baby boy. Daddy carried me around and we shared similar hair styles. Mommy made sure I grew up big and strong.

Now:  I am an adorable big boy. Daddy still loves to give me big hugs and hold me up and we no longer share the same hair styles. Mommy is proud that I have grown big and strong!

4 months vs. 4 years and 8 months.  Do we look any different?

Now I can read "I am happy"

Jellyfish is still one of my favorites

I am not scared of squids!

Off I go -- to grow even bigger and stronger.  See you next time!
