We had Swim Class this morning at 9:30am and we were supposed to be getting our underwater and last class in pool pictures back today, but Sarah forgot to pick them up, so we'll get them on Wednesday. After swim class we headed down to Eugene for Gym Walkers class at Gymboree Play & Music. We worked on Hand & Eye coordination today. Teacher Emily was very impressed with my Cause & Effect skills as well as my Hand & Eye coordination, and motor planning skills. I also invented new activities for us to do too, which she thought was great. Teacher Julie gave us the items we made at Made by Me at Gymboree last week. They look cute. We had made a Apron, Tile and a tote bag. Those are my gifts for Mom for Mothers Day. Daddy & I already picked out her cards too! I'll get Mom to take some photos of them later to put on here for everyone to see. After Gym Walkers, we went to the mall to buy a birthday present for one of Mom's friends, and we ended up getting a few clothing items for me on sale too! I napped a bit on the way home, but not enough. Now Mom & I are just going to do some housework and play for the rest of the day until Daddy gets off work, then we can have dinner, play and watch movies! |

Today
we went to Portland to the
Children's Museum!
I had a lot of fun there. There was tons to see and do. They had
a building area with giant Lego's, rocks and trucks that we spent lots of
time in. They had a kid sized grocery store that was a lot of fun too
- I carried the Banana around a lot. They also had a story land area
like out of a fairy tale story, a dentist and doctors office (I crawled up
the alligator chair to take his teeth out!). Then we went over to Me &
My Shadow to learn about different lighting, I liked turning the stoplights
off and on. We went into the mirror maze where I got to see 100 or
more of myself which is great since I'm my own biggest fan in the mirror
anyways! :) Mom & Dad took me over to the music area where I got to
try lots of different musical instruments. I played in the 'Who Lives
Here' area for a while, but there were lots of rowdy kids there so we went
back to the building area. Mom didn't think it was such a great idea
to go to the clay building place since she said I'd eat most of it so we
skipped that exhibit. We splashed in the Water Works for a while too.
There were a few birthday parties there with lots of out of control kids
(and apparently no adult supervision), so we kind of went to whichever
exhibit had the least kids and made our way around that way. We played
in the Baby Garden for a while with the Bead Mazes, until I figured out how
to work the gate to the door and escaped! :) I'd love to go back
again, hopefully next time we go it won't be so busy though.
After spending about 3 or more
hours in the Children's Museum we went to Washington Square Mall to walk
around a bit. We went into Build a Bear, but we didn't find a new
outfit for my Sparkle yet. Sparkle is the Bear Mom, Dad & I built when
I was 2 months old for the 4th of July. We walked around the mall a
bit. Dad broke a candle in Pottery Barn, so we had to buy a hideous
turquoise candle thanks to him! :) Silly Daddy. Mom looked for
some clothes for me but didn't see anything special. We tried to find
Mama some sandals in Nordstrom but she couldn't find anything. She did
get her rings cleaned though. We went in the Disney store and played
with the toys there, and bought a Americana Mickey Antenna Ball topper
though. Our shopping trip was kind of a bust, so we decided to go to
dinner. Mom loves Olive Garden so that's where we went. I tried
Alfredo sauce for the first time and I love it! Mom & Dad let me lick
it off the breadsticks, since the breadsticks taste boring by themselves.
Dad let me have some spaghetti too, so by the time we left we were all
stained with sauce. :) We had a really good day and I fell
asleep on the way home. I hope Mom & Dad let me have more day outings
like this again. |
I had a Well Baby doctor visit today. We went to a new pediatrician, because Mom wanted a more pro - Attachment Parenting/Breastfeeding pediatrician for us. Daddy came with us to this visit because he wanted to meet our new doctor too. Her name is Dr. Carolina Amador. She's fairly young and very nice! Mom heard about her from some of the other Mom's at La Leche League. We all really like her and will definitely go back. I only got one shot today because Mom doesn't want me to get the Varicella shot and she wants to hold off on the MMR until I'm older, or possibly not do it at all. I took a super long nap after the doctors office visit today. Probably a combination of the shot reaction and the fact that I still have a bit of the cold Auntie Kayla gave me. I fell asleep on the way home from the doctor about 10:30 and slept until 4:15!!! That's not normal for me to sleep more than 2 hours for a nap. I did wake up a few times to nurse but then kept on sleeping. Mom did lots of work on my website while I was napping though cause I wanted to sleep in her arms. I helped Mom do some laundry when I woke up though. |
