Twas the week of Halloween..

Twas the week of Halloween, when all through the neighborhood, the ghosts and goblins were getting ready for the big day.

There was pumpkin carving, costume shopping, and candy to eat. I had a few favorite moments this week. For example, I loved running around in my costume and playing with my pumpkins. I confused them for apples and tried to bite them. Sometimes I tried to throw or roll them, because I thought they were balls.

The weekend before Halloween, Mom, Dad, and I carved pumpkins. They said it was in memory of carving at the Butners. I got to sneak a few bites of the pumpkin guts. MMM!!!

At school, we had a harvest party and costume parade. Most of the kiddos in my class can't walk very well, so Grandma and Mommy came and took me around the school in the line with the older kids. Guess what? I was a lady bug!

I bounced and ran like a lady bug. I tried to take flight.

Halloween night was extra special! I dressed in several layers to keep warm. Mommy and Daddy took me through the neighborhood, where I got to trick or treat for candy. I liked walking/running to each house. I DID NOT like walking up to strangers and taking their candy. I waited for Mommy and Daddy to put candy in my bag.
Every one said I was the cutest bug they ever saw!
By the end, it got very cold and my nose started to turn red and run. I even got a pack of Kleenex from one trick or treat.
It was a great week! I had lots of fun being a ladybug and preparing for this big day. It just went by too fast!
Can you believe it was 80 degrees 7 days before Halloween and 30 degrees Halloween night?

Trick or Treat

Daddy's Silly face & Mommy's Spooky House Pumpkin

Noah came to town

Noah, it was really nice to see you! I'm glad you got to spend the entire week with us!
Aunt Julie and Uncle Shawn went to Boston and they got me a T-Shirt and hat.

I shared my toys and play pen with Noah since I don't use those things anymore.

See you later buddy!

14 Months old

It's October 17th, and I am 14 months old today! I already feel so much older now. I'm talking up a storm in my own little language. I do like to say things like "NO", "All Done", "Tickle Tickle" and "Duck, Quack Quack"
I'm very adventurous. I'm not afraid of anything! Well, except strangers.
My favorite things to do is to play with my baby and carry my purse around. I do love to eat too!
I haven't turned anything down. Grandma once gave me an onion to munch on. I loved it!
In a few more months I'll be graduating to the bigger kids class!

Today we celebrated my aging, by taking me to the nature trail by our house. It goes on forever. I never wanted to turn around. We saw tons of dear run past us on the the path. A rail road track runs aside the path and a big creek cuts through. It goes all through Medina. there were lots of fish in there!

When we got back I took a long nap!

My little Pumpkin!

Welcome to the pumpkin Patch!


We got 4 pumpkins !! Daddy let me carry one to the car. I try to eat it. It wasn't like an apple at all. I can't wait to get home and carve the pumpkins up!
Happy Carving!!

It's the Great Pumpkin Patch!

We went to the Pumpkin patch just a few miles away from our house. We met up with our friends and family from school to take a hay ride and eat apples and pick pumpkins. I had a yummy apple! Oh there was a petting farm and a playground. We could have roasted s'mores over the fire too, but the smoke was stinky. I played with Morgan in the hay maze and Meredith came and checked on me while she played with her big kid friends. I'll have to post more pictures in the next blog because there are so many!

Fire Engine!

Wow, a fire engine!
Daddy saw a fire engine parked at Applebee's for public viewing. So we pulled over and hopped on! We got to see the driver seat and the air tanks. This truck took over million dollars to build. It's for Heavy rescue. Like for a car in the water, or bad accidents and more. Mommy says, "We hope to never see that truck again!" It was custom built by the volunteers with tool drawers and air tanks, and water swim suits.

Look at how big the truck is compared to me.

Noah's Baptisim

Cousin Noah was Baptisted at the end of September.

We had so much fun! We drove out to Cincinnati on a Friday night. We stayed at a hotel suite where I could run around forever. It had a kitchen, small dining area, family room and bedroom all in one!! Mommy said we could live there!

We went shopping in Kentucky on our last day there. My Great Aunt Sharon got me a cute raccoon webkin.

I slept through the entire mass! Sorry Noah! Daddy kept me so warm over his shoulder, I couldn't help but sleep. I was exhausted after playing so hard at the hotel room.

Dinner after the Baptism was really good too! I like to eat!
My Mommy is Noah's God Mother. She's so happy and proud to be apart of Noah's big day!
Congrats Noah! Thank you for sharing your toys with me too!
