And I really liked exploring everything on the counter.... falling off the stool once, almost putting the cordless phone under the running water and getting into mommy's face wash... 
But in the end... we conquered our first bath without any disasters! My sister got to come home from the hospital yesterday... mommy and daddy really enjoyed a "quiet" afternoon/evening at home while I got to have a play-date with my cousin Andrew and Auntie Sharon at Noni and Papa's house... two totally different levels of energy!
Daddy worked on Hannah's crib - raising it up from when I was sleeping in it...
cuddles with mommy and daddy
Today I introduced my sister to my auntie's and cousin.... Noni and Papa had a sleep over with me last night, so they were here too. Hannah got to stay in the nursery last night with the nurses while mommy recovered from an allergic reaction to the medication - whew, glad that is over!
I have fun with my sister, but there are just too many other new things in this surrounding that capture my attention... but it was sure great to see my mommy. Daddy came home for a little while this morning and played football with me too. 
I'll write again tomorrow - more pictures to come from today (just have to get them from Auntie's camera). Good night!
This is a big file and a long clip (about 5 minutes), but it is pretty stinkin hilarious, all the way to the very end!
(probably the last time she can "comfortably" hold both me and baby at the same time :-)
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 :-)

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.
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".
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.
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.
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,
