My Friend Max

Meet my friend, Max! He will be five months old soon and he is Emily and Justin's baby. He is such a cutie. He lives in Chicago, but we went to see him at his Grandma's house in Indy. Don't tell anyone, but I think he might be my boyfriend someday. ;)

Max and mommy Emily!

I had so much fun!

Look, cousin Austin and Aunt Susan were there too!

Hmmmm...who's the mommy?

Austin was really excited about the different toys to play with.

My mommy and Max.

Aunt Kari was also there!

Mommy's friend Megan was at our house the day before and I had so much fun with her. We visited and played a lot!

It's Fall!

We went to Aunt Luann's hog roast and there were lots of people there. The pork was really good and so were the COOKIES! Here I am with Great Grandma Betty. It was great to see her again so soon!Here I am standing in Daddy's shoes. They fit don't they?!?!?!

Here are my Mommy and Daddy!

Mommy and I went on a walk but it was kind of chilly so I had to wear a jacket. Wrigley even went with us and she was cold!

I just love to look out the front windows and bang, bang, bang!!

My dog, Wrigley likes to look out the window with me. :) I love my doggy!

My First Street Fair!

First, we started off the day by visiting Great Grandma Betty. It had been a while since I had seen her and we needed to catch up a bit. She played with me and gave me a cookie. She said she couldn't believe how big I had gotten.

See, I am showing her how I can stand up...I wanted to take her on a walk with me. :)

Next, we went to the Bluffton Street Fair. It was my first Street Fair and the weather was terrible. It rained the whole time we were there. :( Here I am with Mommy and Grammy.

Here is Grandpa and I!

Mommy and I had front row seats at the parade. We sat next to Trudy and Grammy. We all got lots of candy.

I got to meet some people my mommy grew up going to church with. Here are Mick and Tony.

Here I am with Mommy and Daddy's friends, Beth and Bruce Price. This was the first time I met them. They have three kids...twins who are 5 Millie and Mason and Markie who is 7. I got to meet them too!

Here I am with Mommy on Ron's tractor before he rode it in the parade.

I met Mommy's friend April. I like her teeth! :)

I AM 10 MONTHS OLD!!!

I met a wonderful German friend!

I finally got to meet my mommy's good friend Julia who is from Germany. She came to visit us and I just loved her. She made me laugh so much. She brought me my very own pillow from Germany that has my name on it. I will have to take a picture of it and post it. It is beautiful!! Thank you, Julia!!

Here I am with her at breakfast! I was sad she had to go back to Germany already. :(

We got to see Nichole and Brody again too!!! He has grown so much since we saw him last. We went shopping after lunch. Here we are!

Here is Nichole and Brody! Grammy, Brody's grandma Pam, Aunt Susan, Cousin Austin and Aunt Kari all met us for dinner that night too. What a great day!!

Some of my new favorite things...

I really have a few of new favorite things...one of them is my umbrella stroller. I like to push it all day long. I can push it by myself or with help. Either way, it is so much fun to be able to walk things around the house now.

The second thing I have really started to love is the vaccuum cleaner. I like to chase mommy around the house with it while she is sucking things off the carpet. Here I am chewing on the (un-plugged) cord.
Since I loved pushing my stroller around so much, mommy and daddy got me one that is more my size. It is a lot of fun too and my baby doll can even ride in it. I actually still prefer the umbrella stroller a little more, but this one is still great!

Shipshewana

So, I went with mommy and Grammy to the wonderful town of Shipshewana for the first time on Tuesday. It really was a good time. There were lots of Amish which means lots of horses and buggies. I jumped up and down, kicked my feet and screamed every time a horse ran by!!! I love animals!

Here we are at the flee market. I was so good all day long and just love to shop for bargains!

Here I am with Grammy!Ahhhh! Exhausted on the way home with all of our packages. What a great day!

Camping with Grandpa!

So, mommy, daddy, Aunt Susan, Uncle Matt, Austin and I all went camping with Grandpa over the Labor Day weekend. He has a camper on Hogback lake close to Angola, Indiana. The weather hasn't been very nice when we've been there but we still have a lot of fun. We take a lot of walks, meet new people, look at the horses and just relax!

Here I am with Grandpa and his dog Mickey is in the background.

Here I am on one of our walks!Here's Austin, Uncle Matt, me and my daddy!
Austin, daddy and I playing

Aunt Susan and Austin

Austin was having fun petting the horses with his mommy!

See...he is excited to see the horses!

AND SO AM I!!!

Look at that horse just looking back at me! I want to hop on him for a ride!

Austin and I playing in the camper

Yuck! Grandpa bought a PURDUE football to play with at the camper! Peee-ewwww!

Giving hugs...

Austin is sitting in the rocking chair. I want to rock him on it!

Here is Austin with my bow in his hair. This was not at the campground but mommy wanted to throw it in here in the middle so Austin's daddy might miss it!! ha ha! Doesn't he look pretty!

Here I am in the baby swing......wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Our mommies thought it would be fun for us to take a bath together but Austin was not thrilled with the idea. He wanted his mom to get in too.....
I LOVED IT!

Austin, why did you leave me? This is fun!
