Happy Halloween!

Finally a fall day without rain or gloom! Mom saw the sun and wisked me out first thing in the morning for a Halloween photoshoot. She obviously didn't seem to mind sitting me in a pile of wet leaves.

Basking in the glorious sun that has made itself present only after 2 straight weeks of cloudiness.

That afternoon, we went on the bike trail for a walk, but you can hardly see the paved trail. It was beautifully covered with leaves. Which was great for me and Mom, but Daddy complained later when he was rollerskiing that the leaves kept getting stuck in his tires.

This is the last walk with leaves on the trees. Now (3 days later) they have all fallen down and it looks like November out there. Or so Mom says. I have yet to experience a Duluth November, but I haven't heard too many good things about them!

October Lounging

Hi everyone! My hand looks freakishly large in this photo, but Mom still though I looked cute, so she is posting it for you all to see. I got this cute hat and onsie from my great Aunty Kathy out in Maryland.

Mom caught me right as I was waking up. This was a great stretch!!

My cousins and Aunt Linda and Uncle Charlie went to Disneyworld this summer and brought me back this totally cool Tigger cap and onsie. Thanks guys, I love it!!

Can you believe it!!??? My first freestand!! Or is it......?

My Newfound Voice

Just last week, I really discovered my voice, and how high pitched it can really get! Ever since then, I have been a squealing, squeaking, shrieking machine!

Fall Time

Here is my new toy Mommy bought for me at a craft sale. With help from my cousin Jack, I named it Blueberry Poptart. I like it alot, I think because of the the big eyes that look at me.

Daddy is making me giggle by making funny noises. He is so silly!

Last weekend I was at Grandpas house just hanging out. Me and Grandpa were having a very important conversation here.

Of course with my festive outfit on, Mom and Shelly and Grandma couldn't resist a photo shoot in Grandmas backyard. It was a beautiful, but cold, fall day!

Another cute smile for you to enjoy!!!

5 Months Old!!

Today I am 5 months old! I have grown so much in the last 5 months! It is fun to be alive- thank goodness I was born in the USA (as my shirt says, from my Grandpa R). I now get to eat more than just boring old milk. Mom has made me applesauce from scratch from Grandma and Grandpa G's apples. All natural! I also like the sweet potatoes and carrots I have tried too. Bring on the peas!! I am not yet rolling over, but I do push up and can support myself with my arms. My body is just so heavy though- it might be awhile until I can push myself over. I am sleeping about 10-11 hours each night. Mom loves that. And I take great naps too. Overall, Mom and Dad think I am the perfect 5 month old baby ever made!!!

He he... you don't know what this mischievous look is about, but I do!!!!

Mini Comas

Mom was a bit concerned about me today. I had a 3 hour morning nap and then had a 3 hour nap in the afternoon too! I must have been growing a lot today! I need to give my New York friend, Eleanor, some pointers on taking naps. Her mom would really appreciate it I bet, since Eleanor never naps!

A Few Firsts

Here is a huge Pumpkin that Grandpa and Grandma Gerard grew for me! It is 101 pounds! We are going to carve it this week.

This is me eating baby food for the first time. It is sweet potatoes, and I like it. It sure gets messy, though.

And I also got my first haircut today! Mommy cut it for me, and this is a photo of my new hairdo.
