Another birthday, then my mama took a break

My Grandpa John arrived today. It's great to have him here. And since he is here now, we decided to have another birthday for me. Grandma Barb made me a birthday cake.

After cake, my mama left for an evening on the Moreno's houseboat - her first night away since I was born! I know she is worried about my dad, but I'm taking good care of him. Just have a good time, Mama!

My first family birthday cake, with animals!

There she goes. Have a good night, Mama!

Mason visit

Next door neighbor Mason and his mom came to visit. Good to see ya pal!

Fun Summer Sunday

We had a really nice day here. My Grandma Barb took me for a long walk, then my mama took me for a long walk, then my dad, then we ended the day with another walk. Whew! Lot's of walkin'!

Here are some photos from our day.

I like to play with limes before breakfast. This one belongs in the special lime spot.


Hangin' out with Grandma Barb this morning.


Cocktail Hour by the side garden.


Our snap peas did really well this year.


I had my first cracker! They are kinda dry, but I really like them.


After C.H., my mama cleaned up while I played in the playpen.


We went for our evening walk. I like riding in the kidpack! I can see a lot more, and I can feel tree leaves and stuff.


Butterfly bush flower.


Bamboo leaves.


A ha! Caught red-handed! My mama and Grandma Barb swiped strawberries from our neighbor. (Actually, he invited us to take some.)

Cozzie's Corner has video of my birthday party!

My friend Carm has posted some pictures and video from my party on her blog. Thank you Carm! Her site is Cozzie's Corner.

Where is the Green Sheep?

We went to a play today at the Seattle Childrens Museum. It was called Where is the Green Sheep?, based on a book by the same name. It was really great. There were all kinds of sheep in the play. There was red sheep, blue sheep, and up and down sheep. There was band sheep playing instruments, and sun sheep and rain sheep. But we couldn't find the green sheep!

We found him! We found the green sheep! But I won't say where because I don't want to spoil it for anyone else.

Bath sheep.


Thin sheep and wide sheep.


I met "The Band", which was really one fellow. He was nice.


Bells.

Birthday Party

Whew! What a party! I will post more photos tomorrow and add captions too. Thanks to all that came, and to all those who couldn't but sent thoughts my way.

Birthday Boy!

Hi everybody! Today is my one year birthday! My party starts real soon, so I have been taking a nap.

Here are my one-year birthday pictures! More to come!

Me and Grandma Barb

I like hanging out with Grandma Barb. This morning we went to the coffeeshop together.

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July, everyone! I had a great day.

We went to the coffeeshop in the morning and I met Stilly there. Her real name is Stillaguamish. She was named for a river north of Seattle. But everyone calls her Stilly. She is a nice dog.


We went to Todd and Wendy's houseboat on Lake Union for their Fourth of July party. It was fun! But we left before the fireworks - that would have been scary!

We had food and met a lot of nice people. My dad drank a couple beers. After awhile Grandma Barb read a book to me.


Todd went for a swim, then we hung out together.



Later we went to a party at Mason's house. We didn't have the camera until after Mason had gone to bed - shoot!

I was tuckered out, so I took a nap in this cool tent thing.


Ray and my mama chatted while I snoozed.


At the party.

C.H. by the Side Garden

Our family likes to have C.H., that's Cocktail Hour, before dinner. Tonight we had C.H. by the side garden. Someday the side garden will have a fancy patio, but right now it's a little rustic. My dad was picking snow peas for everyone. I played with mine but I didn't eat it.

Sitting on my dad's arm

My dad and I don't agree on everything, but both of us like it when I sit on his right arm facing out, like in the picture. We do this a lot, but tonight Grandma Barb said we have no pictures of it, so my mama took a picture.

Lighthouse with Grandma Barb

My dad, Grandma Barb, and I went to Lighthouse this morning while my mama slept in.

I was getting a little squirmy...


So Grandma Barb read The Big Parade to me.

Grandma Barb is here!

My Grandma Barb is here! She even arrived a couple days early. Welcome Grandma Barb!

Reading Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?


On our usual evening walk to the stupa.

A Toof!

I have three teeth, with another one coming in. It hurts a lot, but my folks say it will be worth it. My mama has been trying to catch a picture of a tooth, but I don't usually cooperate. I gave her a break this time.

Ridin' the Slide

My mama took for a ride on the slide at the local playground. I'm not sure what to make of the slide. It's scary and fun at the same time!
