Nana and Papa thought I’d like to go to the Cactus Garden at Ethel M’s Chocolate Factory because you can see a whole bunch of planes fly right over head. And they were right!
Then we made a return to Lake Mead to see the ducks, coots, seagulls, and carp.
As you can see, I was Mr. Popularity among the hungry birds.
If you cross an aerial tram with a ferris wheel, you get the Vegas High Roller.
Nana and Papa went up to Seattle to visit Kenji for his 1st birthday. Then they came back to see me for a couple of days…just in time for us all to go back up to Seattle for Kenji’s birthday party tomorrow!
So today, we had a chill day hanging out at home drawing, enjoying the sunny weather, telling tales of Mommies and Jokey, and doing jigsaw puzzles on Papa’s computer.
As it got closer to Nana and Papa’s departure, I had to start shedding the clothing layers. (Shhh…don’t tell them, but as soon as they left, the undies came off, too.)
We’re in the middle of a Portland-area heat wave, so we went to a splash pad yesterday…with a view of the tram! Can you spot it?
Then when we got home, Papa made me laugh with his funny faces.
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.
The Taylor gang visited yesterday! Cousin Kenji is four months old now and very different from the last time I saw him.
Thank you, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ryan, for making the long trek with a baby (Mommy and Daddy tell me it’s not easy!) and for the super cozy blanket.
And thank you, Nana and Papa, for coming and taking care of Chubs during my surgery and making lots and lots of food for all of us!
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!
Nana and Papa just arrived to take care of Chubs while I’m in the hospital and to help take care of me when I get home. And Papa and I were wearing almost the same shirt! We were even wearing the same pants until I took mine off.
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!
