Happy Halloween #1

It was my very FIRST Halloween and it was so much fun! I dressed up as Miss Piggy and my cousin Austin dressed up as Kermit the Frog. We got lots of candy...which our mommies and daddies seemed to consume without a wee bit of guilt! We trick-or-treated in my neighborhood first and then went to Austin's where there were TONS of kids! So Fun!

Here I am without my piggy mask!

HERE'S KERMIT!
Here we are together riding in the wagon...it was cold!

Here we are together again and here I am with my mask...sort of! ;)

Grammy came over and Daddy had a plan to carve pumpkins. But, I was pretty tired that night from playing so much in the leaves with Daddy. So, I tried but we only got the top cut off.

Ewwwww... That feels yucky Daddy!

My Dedication at Church

Mommy and Daddy dedicated me to God at church. It was a commitment from them to share with family and the congregation that they will raise me in God's way. So many important people came to share the special day with us....Great Grandma Susie and Wilbur, Great Grandma Cookie, Great Grandma Betty, Grandma Cindy, Grammy Jo, Grandpa Dan and Sue, Aunt Susan, Uncle Matt, Cousin Austin, Aunt Kari, Aunt Luann and Cousin Jackie were all there to show their support. Thank you all! I love you so much!

Great Grandma Cookie is so AWESOME! She came to my dedication on HER birthday!! AND....she had company at home. :) I love you!

Fall Fun

I have really had a lot of fun this Fall...my first Fall! Daddy and I played in the leaves, Mommy and I played at the park, Aunt Kari read me a Halloween story and much more!

This is a common expression on my face when I am with Daddy. I just LOVE HIM!

Mommy and I went to Holland Park in Fishers and had a great time. She even took me down the slide with her...although she almost couldn't get us out of it! ;)

They had little train cars set up out in the park...not sure why....but they were cute!

Here I am, pushing my stroller...one of my favorite past times!

Swinging is AWESOME!

We stopped at our favorite ice cream place before heading to the park and this is my very first ice cream cone! Isn't that cool?!?!

Aunt Kari came over and read me a Halloween story. Don't worry...it wasn't spooky at all!

Look at that Gourd!

Friends in Westerville Ohio

Mommy's friend Melanie lives in Westerville Ohio, which is a suburb of Columbus. We went to visit Mel and her kids, Colin and Kate. We had a great time even though it was a short visit.

(I am not sure why some of these are so blurry)

Here I am with Mel and Colin. Melanie was in Mommy and Daddy's wedding when Colin was only three months old. He is five now!

Here are Melanie and Colin. So cute!

Here is the beautiful Kate helping to take care of me. She was so much fun to play with.

Kate is 2 and a half!

Kate had the same stroller as me!!

The girls went to lunch while Colin was at pre-school. CHEESE!

Covered Bridge Festival

Monday was Columbus Day so Jackie and Aunt Luann had the day off. Mommy and I joined them along with Grandma Cindy to check out the Covered Bridge Festival in Southwest Indiana. It was a little chilly at first but it warmed up quite nicely. There were SOOOO many people, lots of food, flea markets, arts, crafts, bridges and fun!

I like Jackie's hair.

I was all bundled up!

I had been riding around in my stroller all day and finally got out and wanted to push it myself.

I wasn't very happy when I had to get back in the stroller. My favorite thing is to be walking around on my own or pushing things right now.

Jackie's Birthday

We went to lunch with Aunt Luann and Cousin Jackie for her birthday at Olive Garden. We had a really good time and I ate breadsticks and some of mommy's pasta. I am not enjoying my baby food as much these days.

Mommy, Grammy and I went to church earlier that morning. I am wearing my pretty Valentine's dress from last winter. It still fits...actually it fits much better now...8 months later.

I love my Daddy!

Grammy's Birthday

We celebrated Grammy Jo's birthday at Aunt Kari and Uncle Mark's house this year. We had yummy taco salad and ice cream cupcakes. Here's Grammy blowing out her candles.

Here I am with my Aunt and Uncle.

I like to help open presents...well, really I just like to open and close things.
Grammy's best friend Trudy was there too. She fed me lots of bites ;) (sorry for the blurriness)

Wrigley's Cage

Wrigley's cage isn't out very often, but when it is I sure do like to play in and around it! Guess Daddy won't have to build me a playhouse just yet. :)

Fancy Pictures of Me

We had family pictures taken over the weekend and the first three are a few from the session. The ones below are from cousin Austin's birthday party from the same photographer (Studio 45 Photography). Aren't they great!
