The hospital has been giving me free tickets for the tram. I love giving my ticket to the tram conductor.
My most recent visit was to talk to the gastroenterologist about a g-tube. We’ll most likely be going through with it, but we have one more consultation with the pediatric surgeon. I’ve been feeling so well getting good nutrition and hydration through the NG tube. Everyone wants me to continue getting great nutrition and hydration to see what all I’m capable of!
We took Grandma and Grandpa to the Portland neighborhood of Nob Hill yesterday. While they and Daddy went into Blue Star Donuts, I had fun talking to people outside. Then I got out my camera for some good street shots.
Grandma and Grandpa are here visiting to celebrate my birthday. First, we went to Powell’s book store where I got a book about, duh, airplanes. After going out to lunch and driving the hills of Portland, we came home and I got birthday celebration #2! Grandma and Grandpa got me a cool car puzzle and my very own camera. I was taking pictures all over the place!
My 4-year stats!
Height: 38 in (8th percentile)
Weight: 35 lbs (43rd percentile)
Number of teeth: 20 (all done!)
Favorite foods: Goat cheese and milk chocolate
Favorite toys: Ummmm…let me think…AIRPLANES!!!
Favorite book: I like a lot of nonfiction books about airplanes and helicopters. But the one that started it all is “Man In The Air” by James Webster.
Favorite word: “Because…?”
Stuff I know: Airlines from all over the world and their paint designs throughout the years; the difference between a Boeing 747, Boeing 737, Airbus A380, Airbus A320, Bombardier Q400, and Cessna 182; sounds most of the letters make (I love spotting a silent E!)
Compare with my last checkup!
On the way to Nevada, I had six hours to kill before our flight boarded. This is partially how I spent it.
Moving Sidewalk from the Dexter Video Collection.
When it was time to go home, I was super excited to get back on the airplane. (It seems that everyone can tell, because I was able to snag three sets of Alaska Airlines wings from the flight attendants.)
Feeding the Ducks from the Dexter Video Collection.
During one of the few windows of rainlessness while in Nevada, we went to Lake Mead to feed the ducks and fish. Even though the carp had gigantic mouths, they were too slow to grab any of the food. Those ducks are fast!
We had Texas BBQ while in Nevada. And though I didn’t want to try barbecue sauce, I did decide I like ketchup!
It’s been raining in Nevada, so we stayed in most of the day again. I grabbed Mommy’s phone and took advantage of having new surroundings and subjects to photograph.
I also like to do some experimental works…
