Wrestling With Daddy!!

Every evening Daddy and I have some bonding time!!  We wrestle on the floor and I have Jungle Gym Daddy time!!  I laugh a lot and have tons of fun!

Trick or Treat!!

Well, today is the day I had to dress up and go to strange people's houses and say Trick or Treat.  Hmmm, what does this mean, and what are these people giving me.  Oh, Mom said it was candy.  I can't eat candy yet, so who is going to eat it, Mom and Dad???  Rusty??  Sammy??

Mom and Auntie Aimee took us to Orland Park to trick or treat by Aimee's mom's house.  Wow, they had really big houses and the house next door had a cool animated dragon, gargoyles with smoke and scary shaking and moving skeletons!!  It was really cool!!

Then we went back home and trick or treated around our houses!!  That was fun!  We went to a few neighbor houses and got to see all kinds of kids dressed up too!!  

The smoking gargoyle!  His wings go up and down too!!

The dragon when he was really tall!!  He would start of real short near the ground and then get bigger and bigger!!  He made growly noises and his eyes flashed red too!

Bryson was a Chicago Bears football player and I was a Bears cheerleader.  I liked the football more than my pom poms!!  

Me and the football!!  A tomboy I will be!

Here I am in all my cuteness before we left to go trick or treating!!

Happy 1st Birthday To Me!!!

I can't believe a year has gone by already!!  Mom threw me a big birthday party and all of my family and friends came!!  They all brought me wonderful presents and I had a good time playing with all my cousins!!!  

Here I am investigating some of the new toys I got for my birthday!!  

This one looks interesting for a minute or so!

Oh, look at this baby doll I got!  She looks like I did when I was born!!

What a nice picture of me and Mom!!  This was right before she 

took apart and cut up my beautiful cake!!

Mmmm, this frosting is good!!  I really just liked to eat the frosting!  

Mom can keep the cake part!

Mom took all week to make this beautiful Princess Castle Cake for me!!

  She even put out my Disney princesses!  

Uh, Oh!! Bryson may have Competition!!

At our pumpkin carving party two weeks ago, Maya was getting a ride in the tractor by her new beau Jake!!  She seems to be going for the two year old crowd now!!!  She had a lot of fun and they played all night!!!

My First Haircut!! 10/16/08

I had my first Haircut today!!!  Mom said that my hair was getting a little scraggly, so she took me to Kenneth Stone Salon to get my haircut.  Mommy got a trim while she was there too!!  Here are some of the pictures they took while I was getting my haircut.  I am not too sure about this whole haircut experience!! 

Here I am before they cut my hair!

Just after the first snip!

I was getting squirmy, so they blew bubbles to keep my attention!!

Reaching out to catch the bubbles!

All done!!  I guess it wasn't so bad!

I went to the pumpkin farm!!

Two weeks ago we went to the pumpkin farm with Mom, Aimee, Nate, and my friend Bryson.  I loved sitting in the pumpkins!!  We even got to watch pig races!  Wow, some of those pigs were fat!!  

Bryson and I were looking at the chickens and roosters.  They kept coming up to the fence and kicking dirt at out feet.  Crazy chickens!!
I was riding around in the wagon and getting tired!  Can you tell by the look on my face?

My first vacation.... Door County, WI

Here are some pictures from Door County.  We stayed at the Birchwood Lodge in Sister Bay.  My parents go there every year, it was very nice.  I loved to roll around on the huge bed they had in the room and I got to go swimming in the pool!!  That was fun.  I got to play with a water noodle!!  I had lots of fun shopping with Mom and Dad and so many people stopped to comment on how cute I was.  I even got to see some goats on top of a roof!!  How crazy is that?

10 months old!!

Wow, this year has gone by fast!!  I am just stopping by to say Hi!!  I can't believe that my birthday is coming up soon!  I know Mom has started planning it, so save the date, it is going to be on October 25th.  How nice of Mom to have it on my birthday!!

Alright, Mom made me put this up for her!

Mom has been playing in the kitchen making soap, so here is what she came up with this week.  I want to eat it, but she said it is only to use in the bathtub. 

 

Wow, 9 months old already!!

I can't believe I am 9 months old already!!  Time has gone by fast!  Wow, Mom is already beginning to plan my birthday party!!  Save the date, she says it will be on October 25th.  How convenient, thats my birthday!!!
