Ketchup

Oh, man.  I have been majorly neglecting this blog - bad mommy! Truth: It's been a freaking CRAZY few months. I've been traveling a ton, missing you like crazy. So when I have a spare 15 minutes, chances are good that I'm either cuddling up with you or....sleeping. SO SORRY!!

Here's an attempt to highlight some of our best moments:

AUNT MARSHA VISITS!!! We don't have a huge family, but the extended family we do have is amazing. Marsha made the trek out to Oregon from her home in Idaho and it was the best thing ever to see her and watch her love up on you. You sure charmed her, bud. We were sad to say goodbye at the end of her visit, but so very thankful for the time we had with this angel. 

YO GABBA GABBA LIVE!! Our generous friends at Nickelodeon gifted us with tickets to go see Gabba live and oh man was it fun to watch your eyes light up as each character jumped up onto the stage. You weren't quite sure in the beginning, but as soon as you saw BIZ MARKEE you absolutely lost it. It still blows my mind how happy it makes me just to see you happy. 

SO MUCH ZOO!!! You love animals and trains. The Oregon Zoo is your candyland. Grandpa got us all zoo memberships, so we've been visiting the zoo quite a bit. Your favorites are the Giraffe's, elephants and of course, the zoo train.

NEWPORT BAY AQUARIUM // We took a superfun daytrip to Newport Bay to visit the aquarium. You loved the seals and the fishes and were super stoked to see the sharks in the tube. 

CUDDLES // My favorite thing is our morning cuddles. We've been doing this a lot - you come into our bedroom and jump up right next to me. It's the sweetest and best thing to wake up to EVER. You are so kind and gentle, and you really do love your mommy right now - I dig this phase. 

WEEKEND TRIP TO YACHATS // We spent a weekend at the beach with your Grandma & Grandpa. So so fun. It was all relaxation time. My highlights were introducing you to Disney movies: Snow White in particular. Oh, and taking you to Rogue Brewery headquarters. All of my favorite things in one place = so totally awesome.
