Family Birthdays

November is a big month for Birthdays in my family! Cousin Adella, Mom-mom, Uncle Chad, and Grandma all have birthdays in November!  We had a fun time celebrating with them :)

I also got to spend a few days alone with Grandpa and Grandma and cousin Lauren while mommy and daddy went out of town for a wedding.  Just before mommy and daddy left though I decided it was time I made my way out of my crib on my own.  I tried it twice and both times it did not feel so good but daddy ordered a crib tent so I wouldn't try again.  Grandma and Grandpa had lots of fun putting it together while mommy & daddy were away.  Other than that we had lots of fun playing, going to the beach, and on walks.

We are going up to NY for Thanksgiving this year so I can't wait to see everyone again!

Happy Halloween!

Yesterday I went to a kid party and had a blast!  Mommy went with me on the hayride then I got to jump in the bouncy house.  I had a great time playing with all of the kids.

I am a lady bug!

YAY!  My aunt Brooke and her friend Jeremy came down from NY to visit us on Friday and stayed the weekend.  We had a great time shopping, playing, and going out to dinner.  We went to Big Fish on Saturday for my birthday and I got to have a taste of peanut butter pie, whew was that rich!!

 - I still love to take baths and the turtle is my favorite bath toy
 - I am slowly allowing mommy to put bow in my hair and I can leave them in for just over 3 minutes
 - I love all foods except cole slaw, salad, and boiled eggs
 - I sign many words like......thank you, please, more, peas, bath, doll, socks, bed time, and sorry.  (I also say them while I sign them)
 - I have six teeth with one on the way

Red Barn

Hi!  Yesterday mommy took me to the Red Barn in Georgetown.  I got to pet lots of cool animals, feed a goat all by myself, go on a hay ride, and wander through a corn maze!  I had a great time, and Zach, Nicholas, and Travis also joined :)

Wow! Look at that goat!

Hmmmmm......

Mums & Baltimore, MD

Hi everyone!  Recently my mommy and I went to buy some mums to plant for the Fall.  I had a good time planting them with mommy, and daddy even gave me a ride in the wheel barrel :)
Saturday we all went to Baltimore, MD to meet up with Miss Corrine and her family and Miss Rebekah and her family.  We were supposed to go to the aquarium then out to lunch but me, and mommy, and daddy got stuck in traffic in Baltimore because of the marathon and missed out on the aquarium :(  We did finally make it to lunch and I ha a great time playing with Ian, Elena, and Avery!
This coming Saturday I will be 15 months old!  My aunt Brooke is coming to visit Friday night and will stay with us for a few days.  I can't wait to play with her!!

Going for a ride!

14 Months Old!

Today I am 14 months old!  I am growing up so quickly, and mommy and daddy say it is too quick :)  Here are some things I am doing at 14 months:

 - Drinking from a straw
 - Running around the house
 - Copying everything mommy and daddy do and say
 - Taking just one nap a day now and going to sleep on my own
 - Putting on mommy's heels and trying to walk in them
 - Putting my pointer finger up to my lips and make the "shhh" sound
 - I love to play peek a boo!  I cover my face with my hands then take them off and say "there she is!"
 - I dance now anytime I hear good music :)
 - I absolutely love the song Itsy Bitsy Spider and ask mommy to sing it 20x a day
 - I can say "I love you" very well along with MANY other words!
 - I play with the pots and pans and like to take the tops to play the cymbals
 - I now have 6 teeth!  3 on bottom and 3 on top
 - Love to go outside and play
 - Still very much like my baths
 - I can sign -  please, thank you, bath, and doll.  I can also say those words too :)
 - Still not a fan of carrots or bananas :(
 - Also not a huge fan of my bike helmet but hopefully I will get used to it
 - I pretend many of my toys are cell phones and "talk" on them.

BIG Girl!!

Hi everybody!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day!  I am getting to be such a big girl that I need to update everyone on all of the changes :)  Over Labor Day weekend I spent the night with mom-mom and grandfather.  I was a good girl for them and mommy did just ok without me :)  She had all of her girlfriends here from NY so they were able to keep her busy so she wouldn't get sad.  I had another tooth come in on the top and to the right, and I also have two more top ones making their way in as well.  Just last week we switched my schedule to one nap a day in the afternoon around 1:30pm, and three days ago mommy started to put me in my crib to fall asleep on my own without rocking me.  I still get tired some mornings but mommy keeps me busy, so I am doing fairly well at this.
Next week I turn 14 months old, I can't believe it!

Bye, bye! Off to mom-moms house!
