Seeking Other 11 Month(ish) Olds for My Son to Play With

Hi all, just joined this website and I am hoping to use it to find my son some playmates. We live in the 185th and TV Hwy area and I don't drive so our social outings are just to the park near our house, or walks around the neighborhood or to the store. Unfortunately, though it is a very nice park, I only ever seem to see 2 yr olds or up who get taken there, so while he loves to watch them run around and play, he isn't able to play with them yet. I am looking for anyone close to this area who would like to meet up somewhere I can walk to and see if our kids would like to play together. He has his birthday in a month and it would be awesome if he had a few new friends to invite over for it. No offense to anyone who is in any way organized religion inclined, but I am not interested in taking him to your church for youth group. Strictly playdates please.

Hi C.,

There are a lot of local Mom groups you can check out for playdates. Here are some links for you (none are religious based):
Washington County Moms Meetup:http://moms.meetup.com/1568/
Portland Metro Mama's: http://moms.meetup.com/2683/
Portland Hip Mama's: http://hipmama.meetup.com/176/
and there are some specialty groups if you're interested:
Portland Green Parenting:http://mommymilk.meetup.com/387/
NW Babywearing and Attachment Parenting:http://attachmentparenting.meetup.com/451/

I am a part of quite a few groups, so there is always something going on. It's a great way to meet other moms and let your kids play. My daughter is 15 months old, and we live out on Glencoe Rd. in Hillsboro. She loves getting out and playing with other kids, so it's great to have a lot of options. Good luck!

Hi, C.. My daughter is 11 1/2, but since she was premature by one month, her correct age is 10 1/2. I am actually opening a store in Tanasbourne Village, so I am always around your area. I have a 2- year-old as well. We also don't have many friends/playmates. Well, anyway, send me a message if you would like to meet.
