The Pinits of Portland.

Reading Goodnight Moon with Grandpa is a great treat before bedtime.

Look at what a big boy I am Grandma!

Blowing kisses with mommy, mwah!

Grandma Verna and Grandpa Phil came out to visit me in my new house over Memorial Day weekend, yay!


Extreme close up! Waaaaaaaaah!

Upside down baby! Remember my rocker from Arby and Jodi when I was an infant? Look how I've filled it out!

One of the perks of our new neighborhood is the jungle gym (aka Toddler Town) right by our house!

Think I can give Gene Simmons a run for his money?

Somebody hit snooze on that alarm!

Here I am fully clothed and attempting to sort more shapes.

Babies tend to sort shapes better with no clothes on. It's a medical fact.

Yeah, this is the way you go up this thing....

Know what was even cooler? Our friends Josh, Shawna and Rachel moved into a new house too! We went over for a little BBQ.

Moving boxes can make for very fun playspaces.

Settling into my new home.

And there he goes!

Grandpa taking me for a spin in the lawn mower box. Daddy needs to mow the lawn soon!


My first meal at the new digs.

And here we are at the new house in Bethany, on the northwest side of Portland! Grass!

Grandpa just loves chatting with me.

Nana, me, and Tiffany enjoying the outdoors.

I think Tiffany wants to have some of my snacks.

Uncle Tony is introducing me to Tiffany, one of their two Yorkshire terriers (the other is Polo). My newest furry friends!

I stayed with my Nana and Grandpa's friends, Auntie Pan and Uncle Tony, in Lake Oswego, just down the hill from our soon-to-be old condo.

The weekend of the big move! Nana and Grandpa flew in from Baltimore to take care of me for the weekend while Mommy and Daddy did all the heavy lifting. Well, we DID hire a mover.

Hi, I'm Millie Moo! I am a crazy cow.

Just kickin' it with a cool drink and some mints.

Yum, mud!

Still not too sure about the waves and water.


Mommy is taking me out towards the "ocean", whatever that is! Santa Barbara sure is beautiful isn't it?

Do you like my sun hat? Too bad Daddy had to shrink it in the dryer.

Ok, the other weird stuff is this "sand" on the "beach"? It feels like the stuff in Duffy's litter box (just kidding).

Cruising around the fireplace in our hotel in Ventura, CA.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Exploring the grass at the Santa Barbara mission. I've never really experienced it before living in a condo. Weird.



Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara.

In the middle of our house buying/selling, we decided to take a weekend trip to Santa Barbara, CA! Ok, the trip was planned well before we decided to move. Wouldn't you know the weekend we went down there it was cold!

Daddy is a great napping partner.

I love my mommy.

I am a little rookie, at least my shirt tells me so.


So many blocks, so little time....

Well, we decided our condo in Lake Oswego just wasn't going to be big enough for the three of us. So, we put our place up for sale. Here I am investigating the intricacies of the plastic booties people were to wear when touring our condo.
