OCEANSIDE, DAY TWO

On our second and final day in Oceanside, I wasted no time hitting the beach.

This is what it looks like when Mommy asks me to stand by Daddy and Chubs for a picture. Run!

Daddy’s feet thought the water was really cold!

Here are some actual pictures of me with Mommy.

Daddy drew an airplane in the sand, so I got on board.

Then we went on a short beach hike that ended in a tunnel inside of a mountain.

After the beach, I really wanted to see the lighthouse nearby. I went up three times!

Can you see me in there?

OCEANSIDE, DAY ONE

For Mommy’s 40th birthday, we decided to finally visit the Oregon coast. On day one, we got to Oceanside Beach in the afternoon, and I immediately remembered, I love the ocean!

Just as I was a big fan of the beach, Chubs was a big fan of a comfy bed in a warm hotel room!

SKYROCOPTER

Over the weekend, we went out into the 99 degree heat to fly the Skyrocopter that Grandpa got me a while back. It was so hot, we were the only weirdos outside. But when you gotta fly, you gotta fly!

DADDY’S BIRTHDAY

Nana and Papa are in town to celebrate the Daddy/Auntie Lisa/Mommy birthday extravaganza. Soooo…of course…I convinced them to take me to Bricks and Minifigs.

Then my excitement about being in my favorite store on earth switched to the disappointment in knowing I couldn’t take every set home with me.

But then I got the fire helicopter and all was good in the world again. Thanks, Nana and Papa!

In honor of the birthday boy – Daddy! – we went out to eat at a sushi restaurant.

All restaurants should have conveyer belts that bring food past your table.

CASA VACA TAQUERIA

Over the weekend, we went to Portland for brunch.

Daddy was so hungry, he tried to eat my head.

I was tasked with the important job of putting Daddy’s creamer in his coffee.

I did great!

Then we decided to point at our breakfast burritos.

Brunch ended with some riveting conversation, probably about LEGO…

…or airplanes.

Then I was left to pay the bill, as usual.

REED LAKE

For Mother’s Day, we all went on a hike around Reed Lake, which is on the Reed College campus. I hiked the whole thing, over a mile long!

Here’s the bookmark I gave Mommy for Mother’s Day. She loved it!

G-TUBE SURGERY

I am now the proud owner of a g-tube. We checked in at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital at 6am on Thursday morning. By 9am, I was a tubie.

When I got to my hospital room, I practiced feeding my g-tube baby.

Daddy practiced feeding the g-tube baby, too.

That day and night, I tried to walk around, but it was not so fun. So I hung out on my bed and played with cars and planes.

The next day, I was afraid of walking around. So the nice ladies at the hospital lured me out with the promise of Legos and airplanes. After that, I just wanted to wander around and play in the playroom.

After I was discharged, we rode the tram!

PRE-OP DAY

I am having my g-tube placed this morning. So I spent yesterday doing important things, like washing my syringes and looking really cool in sunglasses. Also, during my session with my occupational therapist, I drew my very first person!
