Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We sure did! My cousins from New Jersey came for a vist and we had a great time! I decided I would relax a little in my bear chair before they arrive...
This was Thanksiving Eve pasta dinner. We had a little kids table so we could all eat together.

You would think this would be me and Daddy napping after the big feast-but we took a snooze before we had dinner. I guess we needed the rest to prepare ourselves for the turkey...

This is an upper level view of the kids table on Thanksgiving day. As you can tell, we were all so into the meal that we could not take the time to look up and smile for the camera!

Me sharing my bear chair with my buddy Brendan.

All the cousins-Danny, me, Brendan and Alexandra enjoying some time watching Elmo. We had such a fun visit and I am so glad they came. I will not get to see them at Christmas because Mommy is not allowed to travel from the end of December until my baby sister or brother arrives in March. So thank you to my cousins and Uncle Dan and Aunt Alana for driving from NJ to see us!

Hi there! Monday was Mommy's birthday so I helped Daddy make a cake for her. I was the official taste-tester...
I have become a master tower builder. I love stacking cans and boxes to see how high I can get them. This is one of my better towers!

A new move I learned and Mommy caught on camera...

We have had beautiful weather here lately-in the mid 70's! One of my new favorite things to do is hang out in the trees (with Daddy's help of course).

Me and Daddy just hanging out and talking on one of those warm nights...

Daddy makes me laugh and laugh as you can see in this video....

Grandma Mary and Grandpa Ed Visit

Grandma Mary and Grandpa Ed came for a visit at the end of October. Unfortunately, that is when I had the fever, but I think we all still had a good time!

We visited the scarecrow festival at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. This is me and Daddy coming down the steps after looking at one of the scarecrows.
Then we headed to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins for our house...there were so many to choose from!

Grandpa Ed was helping me choose...

and Mommy was helping me choose too...

Then we took time out for a family photo!

Later, back at the house, Grandma, Grandpa and I reviewed all the pictures we had taken-I like looking at pics on the camera...especially of me!

We also visited the Georgia Aquarium...where I met Deepo. I loved him-I couldn't get enough of him! We ran ito him several times and each time I had to go up to him and say hi or give him a hug!

Soooooo many fish to look at!

And I can't forget to mention my first lunch at The Varsity. Grandma and Grandpa have seen it mentioned on tv and it is famous in Atlanta so I had to go for my first visit. The hot dog was delicious!

Thanks to Grandma Mary and Grandpa Ed for visiting! Sorry I was a little under the weather and maybe even a little cranky...but I am still so gald you came to see me, Mommy and Daddy-I had a great time!

I was a little under the weather a week ago. This is me and Mommy relaxing and watching my Elmo DVD. I had a fever of 103.5 and was just not feeling good-it looks like it ended up being a touch of the flu.. I am much better now and I know I promised you an update since I had my 18 month check-up with Dr. Harrell so here it is:

I weigh in at 23 lb 15 oz

and I am 32 1/4 in tall.

So I put on a few ounces and about an inch since my 15 month visit. Dr. Harrell said I looked good and I was talking up a storm so she said I sounded good too.

I have some pictures to show you from our visit with Grandma Mary and Grandpa Ed when they were here. And I also will update you on my baby sister/brother. We got some new pictures of her/him too. So stay tuned.....

I hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween! I had a blast! This was the first time I went Trick or Treating-and I had so much fun!

I got all suited up in my Cookie Monster outfit, grabbed my pumpkin and was ready to go ( I had my game face on)!

Mommy and me next to Daddy's scary jack-o-lantern

Just thought I would share a pic of me and my friend Addison dressed in our costumes. This was taken a couple of weeks ago. She was Tinkerbell.

Daddy and I headed down the driveway on our way to candy heaven!

The long walk back to the house after collecting my candy. We hung out at the house waiting by the door to see all the other kids in their costumes. I have never seen so many people come to our door-we almost ran out of candy (and Mommy bought A LOT of candy). So that tells you how many kids came by. I loved my first Halloween experience!
