Happy Halloween....

Mom and I had fun outside today with Bridger. The air had a perfect, crisp fall-feel to it... I can see why it's mommy and daddy's favorite kind of weather. Bridger really seems to like to be out there too, letting the wind blow between her fur. Mom had a lot of fun taking pictures, and had a hard time picking which ones to post, so I have a feeling you're in a for a viewing :-)

(becoming quite the poser)


(gotta love the action shot)

We saw a plane way up in the sky.... so we rolled around on our backs trying to follow it as it went out of sight.


Mommy has been a little extra sentimental these past two days - we've really had fun together, and I know she is thinking about how things will change when the baby comes (two weeks!).
We'll keep you "posted"....

Project: Room

This weekend we worked hard at getting my big boy room set up. Here are some of the works-in-progress. Mom and Noni and I are going to go and try to pick out some fun material for curtains today.... then I get to move in :-)



My mommy is very nervous that I will not stay IN my bed.... we're going to give it a try this week and see how it goes. Right now I just think it's fun to squirm around and try to stand up. Maybe I'll feel differently at night when I'm really sleepy.

Daddy put together a puzzle for my wall - do you like it?

daddy's imitator

One thing mommy and daddy have learned in the last few months is that I LOVE to imitate whatever it is that my daddy (or mommy) is doing. Helpful? Not so sure, but it sure is cute (so I hear :-) This weekend's project: finishing the varnish on all the trim for the basement.



I also "helped" mommy paint my new room this weekend. I like to walk around everywhere with canister and paint brush in hand, painting all the walls (and furniture) in sight. If only I could get my hands on that goopy orange stuff they call "paint", then I could really have made some "progress".

autumn days

Today I got to try out my Halloween costume. We went down by the river and got to pick out a pumpkin, enjoy some cookies, and show off my "ruff ruff"... here are a few pics from the day.

All in all, a great way to spend a 70 degree day!

Play date with Carter

Even though I get to experience all these new "big boy" things, I still find it fun to "reminisce" about my "baby days" so... when mommy got the baby bouncy seat out I just had to try it out again.



I had my friend Carter (6 weeks? old) come and play with me this week. I really love babies. I give them kisses, and rub their back when they cry.

I even tried to play "wheelbarrow", but Carter didn't seem to be so fond.

The Beginnings of "Big Boy"

This week is the start of a series of "big boy" transitions. Last week we went to Target and got a big boy booster so I can now sit at the table with the "big people".



It has brought some new challenges to mommy/daddy (now that my high chair tray isn't there to contain the chaos), but for the most part I'm doing pretty well. I've gotten really good at using my utensils,

although, I still like to get my hands dirty every once in a while and make life interesting!

"baby talk"

There has been a lot more baby talk around my house lately... I'm not exactly sure what is about to happen in my world, but I do know that mommy's belly has a fun belly button

and I like to give kisses to the "baby".

LOVE YOU AUNTIE DARCEE!

I had a very special weekend this past weekend. My Auntie came flew in all the way from Montana to spend some time with me.

I am sad that she lives so far away...
we would have so much fun if she lived closer.

She read me books,





and helped me fix my toys with my tools...


















I got so worn out I had to take a little break and get some snuggle time with mommy....
















After I caught a quick rest we were back at it and went to visit an apple orchard. They closed early though, which was too bad, but they had this old fire tuck in the yard, so we took it for a ride...


































Then mommy and daddy took Auntie Darcee to Chicago for the day (I got to go to the zoo with Papa and Noni)

LOVE YOU AUNTIE>>>

cousin sleepover

Andrew and I had our first over-nighter last week. It was super great.

We played with my toys,

Played Peek - a - Boo

and got to take a bath together!
I liked washing Andrew's back...

Thanks Cuz.... let's do it again soon!
