Visiting Bee

My mom, Toby, and I went to Phoenix last week to visit Toby's Aunt Christina and Cousin Bethany (Bee). It was pretty weird to experience Halloween in 85 degree weather, but that's Phoenix! It was good to finally meet little bee in person - she was so little compared to Toby, and so adorable. I'm happy to announce that Christina, Stephen and Bethany are moving back to Portland next month! Now we won't miss out on little Bee growing up! :-)

New Shoes and First Steps!

Maybe it was the new shoes we bought him yesterday, maybe it was the bite of sweedish meatball last night at Ikea....who knows, but he took his first steps today!!!

Soon after Andrew got home tonight, he stood Toby up in the living room and Toby took one step towards him! I was in the kitchen working on dinner, so I quickly grabbed my camera to try to get something on tape. The first video is technically of his second steps, and I went a little crazy (you might want to turn the volume down on your computer), as you'll see, Toby got a little scared from all our excitement.

I believe our world is about to change...

Fun at the Park

Toby is getting big enough to try out some of the playground equipment (with help from dad of course). I think he liked the swing best of all, but he sure looked cute on the little rocking whale.

Can you clap?

Couple of Goofballs!

The title says it all. Looks like they were a little bored on a Saturday morning.

Our Pumpkin

We found this little guy in the middle of the pumpkin patch and decided to take him home. :-) What a beautiful Fall weekend to take Toby on his first Pumpkin Patch outing. There were lots of farm animals to see, including the goat below, who jumped up to say hello to Toby. It'll be a lot of fun next year when he can walk around and pick out his own pumpkin.

Walker Toby Ranger

You don't need to be 88 to use this handy gadget! Here's Toby borrowing his Great-Grandma's walker, to practice, you know...walking!



Thanks for the video dad and mom--hilarious!
