Getting ready for Halloween

I am getting ready for my first Halloween, yay!! I've been preparing by wearing lots of theme outfits this week. Here I am in my monster shirt and pumpkin hat (made especially for me by Grandma Tiny!).

This one is kinda funny too.... get it?

Today I was a jack-o-latern . . .

and I matched my candy bag from Go-Go! I won't be eating candy this year...

but I can't wait until I have teeth and can truly enjoy this crazy holiday!

Finally, Mom stuck me in my real costume to see how it fits.

I am going to be an Ewok!

Grandma Tiny & Grampa Jim

Grampa Jim and Grandma Tiny came to visit me this weekend.

It was a lot of fun!

Grandma Tiny helped my mom and dad finish unpacking their house. She even hemmed curtains for our living room. Thanks Grandma Tiny!

I also worked on my drooling this weekend. I'm getting really good at it!

See you in Chicago for Thanksgiving!

A visit to the South!

Last week I went on my first airplane ride and landed in Savannah, Georgia! I slept the entire way, and when I arrived I met a lot of new people.

Like my great-grandma, Nana!

And Aunt Shelly

And my cousins Brendan and Tristan (and cousin Erin and Pad).

Mom and Dad got dressed up and went to a fancy wedding.

But I stayed at home with my grandparents and the Bear.

(Go-Go takes good care of me!)

And then there was a big party and I got passed around to all of my relatives.

Aunt Donna held me a lot.

It was a crazy fun time!

Visitors at my new house

My new house has a cool porch.

Dad fixed it up with lights so we can sit outside when the nights are nice.

I've been hanging with Camden on the porch a lot.

This week some of our family came to town and we also hung out on the porch. Aunt Joanie and Uncle Jay stopped by on Monday. They came all the way from Milwaukee!

And last night cousin Stephanie came for dinner and stayed the night.

She was our first house guest!

Now I'm packing for my first plane ride. Headed to Savannah!

The Big Move

Sorry I've been absent from blogging. Mom and Dad moved to a new house a couple weeks ago and life has been a little hectic. Here is a our new kitchen....it needs work! But Mom has been unpacking and trying to fix it up. She already put my room back together!

In the last couple of weeks I have been working on my smile.

I've also been stretching a lot.

I've gone on some errands with Mom. I always bring Soffie the giraffe with me.

The new house is really close to the Potomac river and the canal.

So Dad put me and Camden in the car to head out for a hike!

I like riding in the bjorn most of the time...but I miss all of the views because I

either fall asleep or just get to look at Dad. Soon I will be big enough

to face the other way!

We've also been keeping up with the laundry. I help.

And I've been working on my tummy time.

Gotta always make time for exercise!

Phew! What a workout!

Oh! And I have been cooing! It's my new favorite thing.
