Looking for...

1.) Places to take Hunter to play at! Needs some advice since I am new at this "mother" stuff. I am asking for help! Where can I take Hunter to play on things that are safe and fun and that he can just go free at? He is such a boy and is climbing and running! He is getting bored with being at home. We have done the zoo and I heard about the Children's Muesum, which we are gonna take him to one of these free weekends. But any other places? It can be anywhere from Canby to Portland.

2.) Does anyone know of any books that they would recommend for finding places to take kids like parks, or even kid friendly resturants in the portland area? Since PB and Ellie's closed after we went there!

3.) Looking for a good book/read on home remedies for toddlers? Does anyone know of a good one?

I think that was it for now. If anyone has any suggestions just comment on my blog or email me at alikristine@hotmail.com I am open to anything! I am just trying to keep my very active dude busy and not go crazy. I downloaded some pics the first one is when Lar was sick. Poor thing he would kill me if he knew I put this up so don't say anything! But doesn't Hunter look cute minus the pacifer. I love his eyes!

These two are from Wednesday I made him oatmeal and I don't make it as well as Grandma does. He also will not let me feed it to him he has to do it himself! I didn't have any clean bips so it was a fun oatmeal mess to clean up. He is getting the hang of his spoon and fork but the he got more oatmeal in his mouth using his hands.

Larry and I finally made it to Costco and bought AA batteries! We have been out of them since probably Christmas. So all of Hunter's toys were not working because of our lazy, forgetfulness! Anywho, we charged up his Elmo and he loves it now! I was trying to get a good smiling pic of him but missed it each time. I am not a big fan of this Elmo it scares me. I didn't realize that it moved and fell backwards and stood up until after I asked my mother to get it for him. Thanks though, mother! At least he likes it it freaks me out! We also put batteries in his glow worm and he gives it loves and carries it with him at home. Crazy what toys we had as kids that our kids like. This glow worm isn't the same as the cute one I remembered as a kid this one is small and for some reason I remember glow worms being green not purple and blue! I haven't taken a pic with him playing with it but I will try!
