My 1st Halloween!

I had a very festive Halloween weekend. I started off on Friday wearing my Halloween attire - black pants and a spooky ghost shirt. On Saturday morning Mommy and Daddy took me to a pumpkin patch that had rides and a petting zoo. It was a lot of fun to pet all the animals, but very stinky because it rained in the morning. In the afternoon I helped my cousin Charley celebrate his 3rd birthday. Mommy dressed me in my pumpkin outfit with my bat shirt. In the evening we went to watch the World Series at my Uncle Gary's house. It was a long day!!! On Halloween Sunday, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma Lu, Nina Elda, and Auntie Norma went to another pumpkin patch. We went on a train ride and went into a haunted house. Don't worry, I wasn't scared at all. I got to wear my costume, which gave me a lot of attention. In the evening, I helped Mommy give out candy to all the trick or treaters. It was a lot of fun and I got so excited every time the door bell rang. I wasn't afraid of the trick or treaters, not even the scarey ones. I can't wait until I'm able to go trick or treating, although it's fun staying and handing out candy. It was a fun filled and memorable Halloween weekend!!!

New Milestones - 10 Months to 11 Months

One more month and it will be my birthday. I'm so excited to be 1 year old, but Mommy is so sad. She says that I am growing too quickly and time is speeding by. So much has happened this month and I've added a few things to my list of 'firsts'. The most exciting thing is that I can walk. I'm not an expert yet and it is sometimes easier to crawl, but I can do it. I also got sick for the first time ever. I had a high fever, a sore throat, and a runny nose. It was not fun...for anyone. However, I survived and got better after 2 weeks. Mommy, Daddy, and Yolanda took good care of me.

I am so active now; I love playing with my toys, I like getting pushed on my car, and I love to play peek-a-boo. However my favorite thing to do right now is walk around my house and my backyard. I'm trying many new foods that Mommy makes me. Oh boy, this month was so exciting that I'm looking forward to next month.

I can walk!!!

I've been walking with the assistance of Mommy, Daddy, and Yolanda for the last month, but today I decided it was time to do it on my own. Mommy and Daddy were very proud of me. I'm still very rusty and sometimes I think it's quicker to crawl than to walk, but I'm getting better every day. I just need to maintain my confidence and go!

Don't worry Daddy, I can do it all by myself.


Look I can even watch TV and walk.
