Day at the Zoo in Seattle

My sisters and I went to the Zoo in Seattle.  We really enjoyed the gorilla exhibit and the noisy Lemurs!  The Masaai village was interesting and realistic.

Environs of Jubilee Lake - Bike Riding

After Kanine Ridge, we went to Jubilee Lake.  The campground and part of the road were still snowed-in so we biked around on logging roads nearby.  Paula and I had a GREAT time.  We went through some puddles of snow melt (cold) and I got lightly splattered on the face, giving me a speckled look - the things Dads will do with us babies when Mom's not around !

[For the expert photographers among you, these are the ultimate in lo-pro iPhone digital images with a little of my (Dad's) own brand of Photoshop hacking added to the mix ... so not that impressive ! ]

Kanine Ridge

Yesterday Paula and I went with my Dad up Cabbage hill and down Kanine Ridge road.  It was a beautiful day with a big sky and late spring foliage - perfect.  This is a long-distance view of Pendleton.

Looking out over Kanine Ridge to the north with Paula squinting into the sun!

Dressed up again

I am getting good use of my fancy suit - although this time I played too hard and had to take a little snooze.

Wedding in Seattle

We had fun at cousin Paul's wedding in Seattle over Memorial Day weekend. My sister was flowergirl and I was an honorary ring bearer. It was nice seeing family and friends.

Sophia's flowers

Here are a few images of our tulips from this Spring. Sophia took these photos on a sunny day.

Paula's new library

Paula has transformed her room into a library again and this is what it looks like. Patrons can check books out for a week at a time and it works like a regular library. (You pay fines if you're late returning items).

My new highchair

I'd been using a much loved high chair that belonged to Paula and to our friend Olivia before that.This week I got my own PegPerego high chair with a five-point harness so I can eat without the temptation of getting out of it. I like it a lot!

Love my bath

Three musketeers

Three adorable kids!

Toothy smiles

Here are two recent smiles with my new teeth showing

My fun activities

At 8 months, I love eating grown-up food - including aspargus.

Paula loves to play a game in which she buries me under my toys.

My sisters' library

My sisters came up with a library game which keeps them entertained for hours at a time.

I can wave bye-bye and I love being carried in a backpack.

Happy Valentines Day!

We enjoyed a cool Valentine's Day and tried to take some pictures to celebrate the day of love.

Happy 2008 to Oliver

Life is good at 6 months. Here are a few scenes from my days: playing, being carried, and having a bath.

Príncipe da Mimosa/The Prince of Tangerines

My newest discovery is that I love eating tangerines sent by great-uncle Nick and great-aunt Margie in California.

Happy New Year

We had fun at a friends' New Year's party.

Flubber slime

Sophia and Paula had a lot of fun making and playing with Flubber Slime during their winter break.
