Well, I guess it's probably not official yet, but I really think I'm going to have blue eyes, just like my dad. My mom still can't believe it! Check out these pictures though - they look especially bright when I'm wearing blue (or sitting in it, at least).
I've been alive for almost 15 weeks - 103 days to be exact. Mom really hasn't left my side for more than 5 hours at a time - and that's only happened twice. So, I was pretty surprised when she told me she was leaving on an overnight trip with her girlfriends - she was going to be gone for more than 24 hours! I guess the offer of hanging out with friends at Timberline Lodge for the night was too good to pass up. I was excited to hang with dad though - so I got over it pretty quickly. Mom, on the other hand, was close to tears the whole morning before she left... I didn't really get it. Anyway, she had a great time, and dad sent her tons of pictures he took with his cell phone - so she always knew what we were up to.
In case you didn't know, Dad has been in a mustache growing contest for the last few weeks at work. He was doing pretty well on his own, but he decided he needed a little extra boost in order to really be in contention. So, since all the judges were women, he had the great idea to capitalize on my cuteness and my baby-ness. He dressed up just like me, and he gave me a mustache of my own. I wasn't given a lot of choice in the matter, and I'm not sure I want this sort of thing to become a pattern, but I'm still pretty proud that we won 2nd place!
We took another trip to Hood River today. It's always fun to see Matt, Mara, and Cousin Teagan - but today it was extra fun because dad's other cousin Megan and her husband Rich were there too. Here's a picture of all of us.... and another one of just me and my mom and dad and Maddie.
Mom & Dad put me down on my stomach all the time (apparently, it's supposed to help make my neck stronger or something), but I just hate it! Today I finally decided I'd had enough, and I figured out how to roll over on to my back. Dad saw me do it the first time, but mom missed it because she was in the other room. I think mom was sort of mad about that - she spends all day every day with me, after all! Anyway, she came back in with the video camera, and I did it again.

My mom spends a lot of time with her friend Christy, who lives down the street, and also works at Nike. She and my mom originally became friends because they were both pregnant at the same time, and now they're on maternity leave at the same time. There actually seems to be a big "mom circuit" here in Portland... movies, yoga classes, playgroups at the library.... that kind of thing. They definitely like to get outside, and they do an awful lot of walking. Sometimes I wonder if they are kind of crazy though - the other day they walked like 7 miles, just to go to pick up a piece of paper from Christy's vet - I mean, couldn't they have driven?! Christy has a little girl, Sophie, who's just 3 weeks younger than I am.... and I think I have a little crush on her. I think she's holding my hand in this picture - and I'm pretty sure it's not by accident.
My first trip to see the ocean - wow... it's HUGE! I guess it's technically the Gulf of Mexico, but I try not to get too caught up in those kinds of details. I'm with my cousin AJ - he just calls it "the blue stuff".
