I Go Trick or Treating

Today started out not so good for me.

I was stuck in baby jail for a little while this morning.
I sure do hate baby jail.

Mom suggested that I take a nap this afternoon
because I had a very exciting evening in store for me.

After napping, it was time for an early dinner.

What did you say, Mom?
Tonight is Trick or Treat night??

Yay for me!
I sure hope somebody is giving out Puffs!

I suited up and let Dad strap me in my car seat.

Pretty soon, we were walking up to my first Halloween house!


When we rang the doorbell,
my friend, Miss Janet, opened the door!

She had a ton of candy for me!

Wait.... Dad... What do you mean this is yours?

Oh, the animal crackers are mine?
Okay!
Animal crackers are NUM!


Thanks for being my first Halloween house, Miss Janet!

After we left Miss Janet's house,
we went to Memaw and Grandad's house.
Look at all this Halloween loot just for me!
And there's even Puffs!!!

I inspected my loot, then told Dad it was time to venture out!

Mom, Dad and I went to a bunch of houses and
everybody loved my costume so much they gave me a ton of candy!
But where are the Puffs?

Grandad and I handed out candy to the other kids.

Memaw and I played with pumpkins while we waited
to pass out more candy.

After we gave out all the candy,
it was time to go inside and play and play!
Dad pushed me on this scooter about a hundred times!

What an exciting day!
I fell asleep in the car on the way home
and didn't even wake up when Mom changed my jammies!!!

Thanks to everyone for making my first Halloween
a very Happy Halloween indeed!!

Dry Docked

Today I paid a visit to Memaw and Grandad,
and guess what?

It was my boat here at their house!
But where's the water?...

I can almost reach the throttle...

So, Grandad, are we gonna hook the trailer up
and take this to the river?
Don't you need to get your truck?
Want me just to wait here?

What?
I'm dry docked??
Well, this was fun and all,
but I think next time I'd rather have the water too.

After I played in the boat, it was time for lunch and some inside fun.
See how I'm the boss of this chair?

Hmm.... last time I was here, this was a lot more fun...

Good thing I have all this other stuff to play with!

Thanks for the great visit!

My Favorite Sunday Game

Dad Turns My Pumpkin into a Jack-O-Lantern

Today, Dad told me we were going to cut my pumpkin all up!
I had to get a good picture of me and
my first pumpkin before Dad took the knife to it.

Dad cut this big hole in the top and
Mom started scraping out all the pumpkin guts!
And take a look at my baby sister!
She's the same size as my pumpkin!!

After Mom scraped all the guts out,
Dad drew a face on my pumpkin.

Then he cut it all to bits...

After he was done,
Memaw put a candle in my new Jack-O-Lantern!
I liked the way the face glowed,
even though it was a scary face that Dad put on there...

After all that hard work,
it was time to play and play!

Then Memaw gave me a surprise!
She said that everyday starting December 1
I would get a present in this snowman all the way up until Christmas!

But it's only October!
So I showed this snowman who's boss
and practiced a few karate moves...

After Kung-Fu fighting that snowman,
I decided to go for a ride with Dad.

Dad pushed me very fast all over the place!

I love this scooter!!!
I rode and rode all over the place before we went home.

All that riding can make a fellow work up an appetite.
I suggested to Dad that we share his popsicle.
I took a bite....

Then I let him have a bite!

We finished my very busy day by taking my Jack-O-Latern
outside and lighting it up!
Then it was bath night and time for bed.

What a fun day playing and transforming my first pumpkin
into my first Jack-O-Lantern.
Stay tuned for more Halloween fun!

I Get a New Ride and More

Guess what?!
I got a new carseat!
Mom said we had to put my old seat away for Baby Sis.
That was fine by me,
because I was getting too big anyway!

Looks like I'll have lots of room in this new seat!
It feels a lot more comfortable too...

But the best part of getting my new ride
was that I got a new fort too!

Yep, just me and my animals...
Hmmm... seems kind of lonely...


C'mon in Dad!
There's plenty of room!


Much better!
What a great new ride AND a great new fort!

Double Digits

Hello to you!
Did you know that I turned 10 months old today?!

That means I'm this big!!!

I think it's going to be lots of fun
being in the double digits...

But I have a feeling that sometimes
it's going to be hard work too...

Happy 10 months to me!

I Get Invited to a Birthday Party

On Sunday morning I woke up from my nap
and smelled something yummy!
Mom told me that we were going to a birthday party
and she made these yummy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!
I even got to try a bite and they were "NUM!"
Plus I got to eat all the leftover pumpkin!

When we got to the party, I put on my party hat first thing!
But then I looked at Dad and thought,
"That's not my camera!"
Sure enough, Mom said she forgot my camera so
we had to use a disposable one!
These pictures would be a lot better if she
had brought my camera.....

But anyway, here I am with my Great Uncle Terry.
The party was for his grandtwins and my second cousins,
Addison and Nolan.

Here they are! It was their very first birthday!
But Cousin Gus has better pictures of them than I do.
Did you know that they got their very own cake to eat!?
I only got a small bite of Dad's....

Here's Dad with Cousin Gus.

And Aunt Steph was there too!

Cousin Gus and I played and played
until it was time for the twins to open their presents.


I told them I would be the official "Toy Inspector"
to make sure that everything worked properly
and had the batteries installed correctly!

Thanks for the invitation, Cousin Tara!
Hope Addison and Nolan can make it
to my birthday bash in just a couple of months!
