Gobble Gobble

Today we went to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving. Daddy did all the cooking! The day started out alright, I played with some leaves on the car ride there and walked around Grandma's yard until it started to rain. Then, I was a little cranky because I didn't take a 2nd nap. Mommy played with me while Daddy and Grandma got everything ready.

Daddy even challenged Grandma to a chilli pepper eating contest and Grandma won, of course. Daddy still tries each time though.
I ate a little of the Thanksgiving feast, but really wasn't in the mood. Instead, I stuffed cherrio's into an M&M container and ran around the room while Mommy ate as fast as she could and ran around after me. After dinner, we all gathered in the living room to watch a kung-fu movie.

Stair Climber

Yaaa haaa haaaa!!! I am beginning to figure this stair climbing thing out!!! Mommy says if i'll just get on my knees and crawl up...i'd get so much further... BUT as you all know, I like to be difficult and I like to do it my way..and my way only. So, I take it one foot at a time. So far, i've made it up two steps.. *shhh, this is just what Mommy and Daddy think* in fact, I practice every day at Grandma's house. Here is footage of me taking a step or two. Mommy is behind me squealing, Daddy is at the top of the stairs trying to take pictures. They are really making a big fuss over nothing. I figured since the camera was on me, I'd give them a little show...and toppled over on my face. Heh.

Tents Are Cool

I kept hearing about Coopers cool tent, I just had to have one too and asked my Mommy if she'd make me one. She promises that next time she'll make an even better one for me. She said this one is ghetto but I had lots of fun with it! She chased me round and round...

On My Way To Grandmas

Every morning Mommy bundles me up nice and warm and takes me to Grandma's house where I spend the entire day playing with her. There's lots to do there - I eat, I sleep, I cuddle with Grandma, I get into ALL her stuff, I try to pull the chili's off her plants, I try to pull the leaves off her other plants, I try to flush the toilet, I work on climbing up and down the stairs, I watch Dora and Diego, and Yo Gabba Gabba and Arthur and I could just go on and on....

Riding in the car has its ups and downs. I hate being strapped in. I like looking out the window and the rest of the world. I hate being stuck in the back. I like when Mommy puts Dora on the DVD player for me. I hate having to wear all those clothes because its so cold out. I like the toys Mommy gives me to play with - like my favorite maraca! When I have my maraca, Mommy says Shake-a, Shake-a and I shake my maraca and my head and Mommy starts singing - she's the best singer in the world!!

Here's me and my yellow maraca. The thing in my other hand what we used to scoop punch out at my birthday party. Its got bones on it! Mommy had it in the car for some reason and its now MINE!

Shoes!

I meant to post this a couple months back but forgot to. Mommy took me to the shoe store back in September and got my fat foot measured and got me a new pair of shoes! My first real shoes after wearing the Robeez...ok...the knock offs but who's paying attention. I did have some real sneakers when I was much, much younger and not walking yet.. But these...these are my first real big boy walking shoes. Here is a picture of my shoe.. and one of me posing in them.

I Got A New Box

Daddy recently brought me home a box of toys given to him by someone. The toys were cool, in fact my new favorite maracas came from that very box and I am not found a single day without them. But more than the toys (except for the maracas) I liked the box. Here, Carter and I enjoy an early evening with The Box.

Saturday at the Park

A few days after trick or treating at the mall, Mommy took me to a nearby park along with Daddy and Carter. I was mainly annoyed and grouchy the whole time we were there - and i'm not really sure why but I was the only one in costume.

My unhappiness....

On my way outta there...

What I thought about the whole thing....

Halloween 2007

This year Mommy and Daddy took me over to the mall for some trick or treating. Mommy took off work early to come pick me up from Grandma's, got me in my costume - I was a skunk - and they whisked me away with. When we got to the mall, it was pretty crowded and got more and more crowded as the night progressed. People lined up for miles to get candy at some of the stores. We opted for the shorter lines. People walked by me holding their nose, saying "stinky" and "don't spray me". The lights were turned down low and the big water fountain in the center of the mall had smoke coming out of it! That was my most favorite part. I kept sticking my skunk arm into the water until it was totally soaked and Mommy had to take the the top part of my costume off. I kept on sticking my arm in the water until I got water all over my face, my t-shirt and Mommy's pants. hee hee. I'm such a lil stinker. I also got to meet up with my friend Amia. She was a kangaroo.
