I'm so big!



Check it out... here's a picture of me when I was 3 days old in the bassinet and here's me now (at 7+ weeks old) - I've grown so much!! I barely fit in the bassinet anymore. I think I weigh about 12 lbs - but we'll find out exactly how much I weigh when I go to the doctor next week. Maybe by then I'll weigh 13!

It's snowing!

Can you believe it - it's snowing today!! I didn't think I'd get to see snow until next winter. Lucky for me when I woke up this morning there were big flakes coming down and the yard was covered in white! I think I like the snow better than the rain - it's pretty :)

I like to bake





I made cookies with Katie and Mommy today! I think I'm a pretty good baker because everyone seemed to love my cookies :). It was easy too, all I had to do was sit there and smile. I hope we bake again soon.

My 1st Easter

Well I didn't do an Easter egg hunt or dye eggs (guess i'm a little too young for that :) but I did have a fun Easter Sunday! Mom and Dad got me all dressed up and took me to the Greek church. I guess it's tradition in the Greek church to do a 40 day blessing for new babies so today was my day! I was sound asleep in the back of the church hanging out Mom, Dad and Uncle John and didn't even realize that the Priest had come to see me and do the blessing. I woke up when Dad handed me to the Priest though and stayed WIDE awake for the whole blessing. He carried me all the way to the front of the church and everyone was smiling at me - so I just smiled back:) Mom and Dad were impressed that I didn't cry once - I was really enjoying all the attention! After church we all headed over to Helser's on Alberta Street for a nice Easter brunch. I didn't get to order anything but I did get my own placemat at the table!!

It's game day!


Big day today!
March Madness kicks off and Kentucky plays Marquette in their opening game... I'm all geared up and ready to cheer them on!! Mom's friend's Carrie and Whit sent me this great t-shirt (and a hat too!) that I wear every time UK plays - which i'm hoping will be a lot in the next few weeks!!! GO CATS GO!!!

Flash is RAD!

Now that there's a car seat base in the van (better know as Flash :) I get to ride in it all the time - it's soo fun!! I love to look out all the windows and mom likes to come back and hang out with me. It's easy to get me all bundled up to outside too because there is so much room (and mom can feed me easily too :). I think we'll go on some fun trips in Flash this summer - can't wait!

St. Patty's Day!

I went downtown today to watch daddy run in the Shamrock run. It looks like it's a really fun run - I guess mom usually runs it too but she decided to hang out with me instead :) We had a great time watching all the runners and cheering daddy on. Uncle John and Aunt Jennifer ran it too - so we got to hang out with them after the race was over. Daddy was pretty excited because he beat his time from 3 years ago by 5 minutes!! He sure is fast!!

Dogs days at Forest Park


I guess Mazie has been a little bummed out lately because she never gets to run at Forest Park with my mom anymore so we decided to take her there today and give her a good run. It was really fun because my friend Sam came too with his mom Sara and dog Maddison. Maddi and Mazie ran back and forth, up and down and all over the place... they were crazy! They sure had a good time together. It was fun to hike with them - I hope we go there with them again soon!

Put up your dukes!



I know I look cute and innocent and everything but I'm really one tough cookie... watch out!!

rainy day blues...

Something was different when I woke up this morning ... it was RAINING!!! I was not very happy about it - and I made sure mom knew it too.. I cried all morning long!! -it took her a while to figure out why I wasn't happy - but finally she figured out that it must have been the rain (because she tried just about everything possible to make me stop crying!!). After a nice warm cozy nap in the wrap I decided it wasn't SO bad and cheered up a bit... Guess I'll have to get used to some rain around here... can't wait until the sun comes back out!!

I love my dogs!!

I just love hanging with my doggies. They're pretty funny, especially the brown one - we always play this game where he tries to play with my toys and takes them from me - but I always win because mom and dad take it back from him and give it to me!! When we're not playing games they like to just hang out with me in my room - so that's cool too... I like it when they do that...

All smiles...


I think I'm figuring out how to smile! Mom and Dad seem to get a big kick out of it when I do. They think it's pretty cute - what can I say... :)

Bath time isn't so bad afterall...

My bath was much more fun with this nice cushion that my Grandad and Miss Martha bought for me... I just laid there and hung out while they washed me - I didn't even cry the whole bath, can you believe it! Dad thought it was pretty funny to make a little bikini out of my wash rags... so I played along.

I got my kit today!!

It's official, I'm ready to take the pitch for Glasgow Celtic!! Well maybe not quite yet ... (do they have a womens team?) Even though my uniform won't actually fit for another 3 months dad just couldn't wait for me to try it on... I guess this is what I'll wear when dad and I get up at 4:00 am to watch them play - can't wait!

Can't wait for bbq season!

Since it was so nice today, we hung out in the backyard for a while ... it was great, dad had a fire in the chimnea, we fired up the grill and the dogs were having fun chasing their ball. I can't wait until summer when we can bbq all the time!

A good cup of Joe...

We headed up Freemont today to Jim and Patty's ... mom and dad say this is the best place in town to get a good cup of coffee... oh yeah, and the coffee cake is pretty darn good too!! I wanted to try some because it smelled so good but they said I'm too young... sheez! maybe some day... :)

Kennedy School Rocks!


We had a fun lunch today at Kennedy School! My Granddad and Miss Martha came to visit me all the way from Texas!! They needed to experience a good local brew pub so we tried to walk to County Cork for lunch but I guess they don't open until 3pm on weekdays so we went to Kennedy School instead. Figured it would be good to introduce them to a classic Portland spot (and one of my mom and dad's favorite places to go...). We all had a good time at lunch and mom especially enjoyed having a nice cold beer!!

My First Hike



Mom took me on my first hike today at Forest Park! We went with my friend Sam and his mom Sara. It was really fun. We went on the wildwood trail and hiked a really long way through lots of trees. I hope we go back there again - I know mom really liked going there. I think next time were going to bring my dog Mazie with us - that will really be fun!

The activity gym


Check me out! I got to play on my activity gym today... it was great- I just laid there and kicked my legs for about 15 minutes. All these fun things were hanging over me and every once in a while I would knock them with my arms. My favorite one to look at was a picture of a yellow lab - it look just like Mazie! I like to stare at that one the best!

Sophie Sunshine


I don't know why everyone complains about the weather here in Portland in February... seems like it's been sunny every day since I've been alive! Mom and Dad say I'm to thank and like to call me "Sophie Sunshine". Mom really enjoys it when it's sunny - she takes me for long walks which I really enjoy. I'm sure we'll have some rainy days ahead but we sure have enjoyed the sunny ones
