Halloween

For my second Halloween I turned Punk! I was the rockin-est kid on the block. check me out...

New spoons

Now that I have been eating solid foods for over half my lifetime, I have decided there must be an easier method of eating than a spoon. Here are my current inventions...

1. The Fork-uffin: Put the muffin on a fork and eat it like a lollipop. So much easier than with the hands.
































2. Butter lid scoop: Much more efficient for scooping larger amounts than a spoon. It is a bit messier, but I consider that a plus.
































Now see me in action!

Houston visit

We went to visit my GREAT aunt Barb and my GREAT cousins in Houston. We had a super great time and Texaswasn't nearly as bad as mom said it would be. We'll definitely be back for another visit soon.







Future astronaut in training

Playing with the boys

Barb's house had so many great toys!

Entertaining my cousin Talitha

Happy family at Johnson Space Center

Oregon State Fair

My first visit to the fair!  Today mom and dad took me to the State Fair.  I had such a great time seeing the animals.  The goats and the baby piggies were my favorite.  Most of all I liked picking up the wood bedding chips and scattering them around or on tope of the goats' heads.  Then it was eating time...corn dogs, lemonade, elephant ears and ice cream!  Why isn't there a fair every day?

Racing is in the genes

So I guess love of cars must be genetic.  I found this old model Accord of Dad's and it is now my favorite toy.  I have made a few of my own modifications -I removed the exhaust and I'm working on removing the side skirts.  I can't wait until Dad gives me the Skyline!

Talitha comes to visit

My cousin Talitha came to visit us.  Isn't she so cute?  I can't wait until I can play with her.  Maybe a few more months-she seems advanced for her age so I think she'll be walking soon!

Daddy Daycare

My friends came over to visit and we took over the house. All boys! Devin and Emily said Dad should run a Daddy Daycare...I think it is a fabulous idea!

First taste of sand

Who knew sand was so tasty?

The Beach

We went to the beach with our friends Jessica, Randy, Jen, Brian, and the coolest little guy Brandon. We had such a blast eating cookies at our hotel, eating sand on the beach, and eating ice cream in Tillamook. I love vacation!

exploring seattle

We went to Seattle to visit Aunty Jenn and Uncy Noe and soon to arrive cousin Talitha.  We explored the area parks while waiting patiently for Talitha to arrive.  I think there is something wrong with Aunty's camera- these pictures make me look like a little boy and not the baby mom insists that I still am.  Sigh!

base jumping

I found the easy way down.
My mom keeps saying "you are such a boy!"...of course I am, mom.

new tricks

Look at my new trick I learned! This tissue box shoe is such a great invention and one of my favorite toys. When mom or dad try to take it off I get very sad and put it right back on. Goofy kid!

recycling addict

Dad's video of me and my pepsi bottle. These bottles are so tasty and make really good toys. Now if I could just figure out what those darn parents did with the pepsi....

Belly Laugh

I found this toy to be especially funny. I'm not sure why, but these pop up Elmo and Cookie monster fellows were just hilarious.

Dourgarian Family Visit

My recent trip to Northern California to visit the Dourgarian clan...

We stayed with Lynnie and Gary. I loved Lynnie.....

Gary...well, its more of a tough guy kinda love we have.

We stayed with Bobbie and Shirley too, I could tell they had some grandparent experience!

I played with cousin Matty and Tracy. We ran in circles, threw things at each other and had a general great time!


I love California! Hope to see you all again soon!

Can I have a brother?

What a hectic day playing with my cousins Travis and Jonathan. After this I definitely want a brother! But after today mom and dad say they're not sure about having any more kids. I'm not sure why...

NY City

New York City was fantastic. It was very cold and it snowed our first night making the walks around the city a bit challenging. We visited the 911 memorial, central park, the empire state building, ellis island, and a few of Dad's music and movie sites. We had a great time...my first new york hot dog, my first cab ride, my first wind burn. Ahhh.... New York, we'll be back!

Visiting New Jersey

My first trip to the East Coast. We visited our friends Jamie and Eric and their 6 mo old Ethan. Ethan and I got along fabulously. We plan to be teammates on the Red Sox later but for now we shared laughs over these crazy little things called fingers, I helped him reach his toys so he could taste them, and we danced to the Philadelphia Chickens. We traveled into Philly to go to the Please Touch museum. I had such a great time there. I was a doctor, a mechanic, a race card river and I had a tea party-it was a busy day. Thanks to the Pears for so much fun and all the hospitality!

My First Birthday!

My first year has gone by sooo quickly!  I have had so many great first experiences.  I can't wait for the next one!

I had such a great time at my party.  I had a few tastes of the chocolate icing and decided that was enough.  I'm saving up my appetite for next year!

My First Haircut

My first haircut on my first birthday!

Before...

My destraction device...mmmm, credit card!

After!  

I look so handsome.
