Well well well!!!! A new milestone. Otto is officially sitting. On April 19th he was nailing it every time. He would tip every now and again but he would catch himself. What a champ. I also added a few photos of our afternoon at the Red Lion Inn-a German pub. We had a great tim eating sausage and drinking hefeweizen. Otto even attempted a sip!
I just wanted to add a few cute pictures. Otto's passport photo, one in his Gator shirt, and one looking VERY happy.
We've had a fun month so far. Cori, James, Andreas, and Sophia came to visit for spring break. Trevor took everyone to Venice (I had to work) and they all had a great time. We had lots of big dinners and great times. Trevor, Otto and I went to a little bbq over at Chelsea, Andrew, and Beau's house. Otto and Beau met for the first time and they were instant friends. Beau grabbed Otto's pacifier out of his mouth and he didn't blink an eye. Already a lady's man!!! We've also been spending lots of time with Bob who is moving back east this month. Boo. We will miss Bob a ton but are so glad to have spent so much time together lately.
Trevor and I want to remember some of the fun things Otto does so we thought we'd list a few here. He laughs hysterically when we bop him and anyone else on the head with a little balloon on a stick. It's amazing. We can always tell how excited he is by how far he sticks his hands in his mouth. He sometimes gives us a little laugh while his pacifier is in his mouth and it sounds a bit like HEEEEGH. He blows bubbles and makes raspberry noises with his mouth. His yawns are very loud and almost sound like a fake put on yawn. He likes to "push push push" with his legs while he is in the tub and it seems like he is going to push right through the end of the tub. He likes to fall asleep in Trevor's arms by burying his face in a little pocket between Trevor's arm and chest. We love our mornings with Otto-Trevor and I ask him about his dreams and he babbles the answers. He is very talkative these days. We like to play and make him sit and stand and swing him around in bed. And even though it makes us sad Otto's sad face is adorable. His bottom lip really does poke out. But mostly we don't want to forget the way his face lights up when we walk into the room. 
We've had another busy week. We went to see Dennis Hopper receive a star on Hollywood's walk of fame. It was such a nice afternoon and Otto was in great spirits. He met Dennis who has a German Shepherd also named Otto. Then on Saturday Otto, Trevor, Gram and I went to see Aunt Mindy in her horse show in Temecula. She was a rock star and did amazingly well in all 3 events and Otto LOVED meeting her for the first time. We got home around 1:30 am and miraculously we woke up at 7:30am and headed out to the poppy reserve with the Deightons and ate a very hearty breakfast at CRAZY OTTO'S! Trevor bought 5 t-shirts and the poppies were really lovely. It was a great way to spend Otto's last week as a 4 month old. 
We've been busy! Gram, Gramps, Otto and I went to the Reagan Library and spent the day learning about our 40th president. The library houses an amazing collection of items from his life as well as the airforce one. It was a wonderful day. Later that week Aunt Stacy came for a visit. The picture of Stac and Otto was taken in Palm Springs where we visited Aunt Maria and Sam in their new office. The next photo is of Otto behind a tiki bar at Pottery Barn Kids in Pasadena. He looks like he is getting ready to serve up some Mai Tai's for a happy crowd! Next photo is of Gramps and Otto reading the paper. Otto and Trevor and I go over to "7" every morning to hang out. This is a very familiar scene. Otto loves to sit on Grandpa's lap and read the funnies. Finally-a picture of Otto in his new duck jammies from Gram. He is almost too big for 3-6 month clothing so we went shopping for something a little more comfortable to sleep in. At the rate he is growing he'll be out of these in a few weeks!
