We got out more boxes of baby clothes and found my old hats. Nice!
This is another one I like.
And we had a happy baby today.
Wouldn’t you be happy too, if your first two teeth were finally all the way in? Watch out for this guy. He’s a biter!
Mama started in on baby food for the little guy today. We’ve got sweet potatoes, peas and squash in the freezer!
Daddy had a birthday last week. He says he’s only 29, but nobody believes him.
For his birthday, mama and Kai and I got him a ride on a helicopter. And can you believe it, I was going to get to go too!
We headed out to Newberg yesterday morning. I was so excited to go to the airpark but a little disappointed that there wouldn’t be any escalators or parking garage. Here we are making our way out to the helicopter. Dad was nervous about flying but I wasn’t afraid. Maybe daddy is looking back here, silently asking mama for help, with his eyes?
OK. We’re in and ready to take off. Back off mama, we need to go!
Well, we took off. Anybody who calls mama overprotective can suck it. Here I am, in a tiny little machine, flying higher and higher. Hey mom! You look like an ant from up here!
I got very intense and focused (ok, I was a little nervous) but couldn’t be happier.
Coming in for a landing… I can see our car!
And back on the ground. What a rush!
Daddy is not only totally pumped, but he’s now also asking about what a little helicopter might cost…
Everyone, I did it.
Mama says I now have an experience that most other people don’t. Just the first one of many, I predict.
Mama was putting something on her face this morning. I asked her what she was doing and she said that it was makeup. I asked what makeup was and she said it’s to make mama look pretty. She asked if it was working and did she look pretty?
I said “everybody’s pretty…
…from space!”
Well, at least weekend’s a beach. My weekend. Last weekend.
It was a long drive but so worth it. A couple of times I asked if we were there yet, but mama asked how could we have reached our destination if the car was still moving and I had to admit her logic was flawless. Curses!
We decided to bring Kai, too! His first trip to the beach and he did really well on the way.
Mama and daddy told me that the friends we were going to spend the weekend with have a little girl and I was so excited to play with her. As soon as we pulled up to the driveway I ran up to the man in the driveway and asked where his little girl was. He sent me inside and I met Kaylie and we played and had a lot of fun. We went down to the beach after dinner and it was so, so cold but I insisted on going into the water anyway.
The two mommies, the little girl and Kai were hiding from the wind in a shelter.
I was cold but so very happy. And insisted that I keep my sweatshirt off. You can’t wear sweatshirts on the beach!
Mama and I went for a walk on Saturday during one of Kai’s brief naps. We found a nice path in the woods.
That afternoon, I was really eager to go back to the beach. Mama and daddy and Kai and I headed down there. Thankfully, it was warmer during the day.
Before we left for home on Sunday, mama took a picture of us kids. We had a great time! I hope we can go again!
