the story of me

The Multnomah County Fair

This weekend was the Multnomah County Fair, which is just a few minutes from our house. Dad was stuck at work, so Mom took me over there for a bit. We saw ponies, cows, sheep, goats, llamas, chickens, and bunnies! I loved all of the animals. Mom also took me on the little train that goes around the park. I was in my carrier the whole time and didn’t even.. Read More

My First Trip To IKEA

Today I got to go to IKEA for the very first time. It was just as magical as I had imagined! There were lots of cool toys, including a soccer ball which I grabbed right away. Even the non-toy sections were pretty neat. I can see why my parents like this place.

I Can Walk!

After months of practicing, I can finally walk I my own!! I’m still a bit wobbly but I can walk from one room to the other and I can stand up without holding on to anything! This makes chasing the cats so much easier. Mom and Dad are so proud of me! IMG_7423

My First Spaghetti

Today I had spaghetti for dinner. I really liked it! My parents didn’t think I would actually eat it but I surprised them. I must be Italian after all.

Swingin’

My parents finally installed the swing Aunt Gloria and Uncle Greg got me for Christmas. I guess they waited until I was big enough to use it. It is on our porch so I can look out on our neighborhood as I swing. I really like it!

A Book From Grandma and Grandpa

What a great day! I got abou in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Toulouse! It’s by one of my favorite authors, Sandra Boynton. I was so excited when I opened the package! Then I crawled around with the book and the envelope: Then I played with the envelope. I’m such a silly boy!

My First Los Gorditos!

Mom and Dad talk about Los Gorditos Mexican restaurant like it’s the most delicious food in the whole world! I’ve even been to the restaurant a few times, but of course I didn’t get any of the food since I was only eating purées. However, now that I am a little bit more adventurous with my food textures, Mom thought it was time I tried some of this deliciousness. I.. Read More
