7 1/2 months old...

Little update on me... let's see - I'm almost 8 months old.. I sit up really well, I love all sorts of food, and I grab just about anything I can get my hands on (then put it in my mouth of course :). Oh yeah, and I've been saying "da da" alot... My dad always seems to respond when I do, I wonder if that sounds means something! Still no teeth, no hair, and don't really see the need to crawl yet - it's really fun just sitting up and playing so I stick to that... lots of my friends and classmates crawl all around so I think I might give a try soon - I want to be able to keep up with them!!! As for now, they all just crawl over to me so that's works out well :)

Orcas Island

Wow!!! We went up to the San Juan Islands this weekend... it was amazing!! We got to ride on a ferry - which I just thought was SO FUN!!! There were so many people and I was sure to smile really big at all of them so they would smile back at me :) The dogs seemed to have fun hanging out with me in the back of the van too... Bruno is really silly - he was climbing all over the place!! I think he was trying to figure out how to get closer to me so we could hang together... :)

We camped at Moran state park in Flash (our van) which is always an adventure. Lots of mom and dad's friends were there and my friend Bailey was there too. We did lots of hikes and explored all day and then hung around the campfire at night. Mom went swimming in the lake and dad I hung out in the hammock. It was great. It was so nice to hang out with friends in such a beautiful place, I hope we go back again next year!!! For more pics - check out our Flickr page.

Hood River Wineries

This was the last weekend I was going to get to spend with Yiayia and Papou for a while because it was time for them to head back to Colorado and see they other grandchildren. They have spent all summer with me so I guess it's only fair that I share them with my cousins :). I'll get to see them again in November for my Yiayia's birthday so I'm looking forward to that...!! We spent all day together on Labor day... we drove to Hood River and went to some wineries which was super fun!! One of the wineries had all these flowers with bright colors and fun patterns - I was amazed!! ... Next stop was Double Mountain Brewery - which, according to my mom and dad, has the best beer and pizza in town. Can't wait to try it!!! Then we drove home and since it was my parents 6th anniversary - Yiayia and Papou played with me and put me to bed while Mom and Dad went out for a nice dinner. I miss them already (and so does mom especially with Dad out of town!!!).

Brrr.. what happened to summer!?!

Man... it sure was cold out this weekend. We did a hike on Mt. Hood to Ramona Falls and Mom swore it was supposed to be sunny and 70's but it was like 45 degrees when we started the hike and I think it got colder as we went... !! I was still a good sport about it because I do enjoy the great outdoors and all but once it started raining I had enough!!! I made it pretty clear that I was done and wanted to go somewhere warm and cozy but I guess we still had a while to go before we got to the car... It was still fun though and once I got to the car I was happy again :)
