October 16-31

 

 Welcome back! 

 

 

 I have been doing so much! I'm excited to share it with you.

 

 

 

 I went for a hike.

 

 

 

 I like the great outdoors.

 

 

 

 I love swinging at the park.

 

 

 

 I put on my shades so the paparazzi wouldn't recognize me.

 

 I'm Mommy's #1 helper at the store. That looks like a good price on those bananas.

 

 I love being in charge of the list.

 

 I went to a pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin.

 

 

 

 

 Where are all of the pumpkins?

 

 

 

Which one?

 

 I don't know.  Can you help me?

 

 I choose that one!

 

 

 

Proud as I can be of my pumpkin.

 

Let's go put this on our front porch.

 

 These are pictures of me loving some of my stuffed animals. This is Rufus.

 

 

My giraffe from "Aunt" Katie.

 

 Mr. Joe

 

 

And Donald Duck 

 

 

 

 

 

What are you feeding me? 

 

I helped Mom make the bed one day.

 

 

Oh no! You caught me lying down on the job!

 

I gave myself a medal for being the cutest baby.

 

 I love throwing myself back into my pillows.

 

 

 

 Ha ha! So much fun!

 

 I used sidewalk chalk for the first time.  I was looking to nature for inspiration.

 

 

 

 Here are my curls.

 

 I am an artist hard at work.

 

 Maybe not that hard at work.

 

 

 

 Dad, that portrait does not look like me.

 

 

 

 

 I was having a hard time finding the right pair of shoes for my outfit.

 

 Please, Mom?

 

 I tried my hand at photography.

 

 

 

 I'm enjoying feeding myself.

 

 Need I say anything?

 

 I like staring people down at the restaurant.  I feel like it might cause them to get up faster so I can eat.

 

 These are my new pink boots.

 

 These are my new fuzzy brown boots.

 

 Going out to the mailbox.

 

 

 I mailed a letter.

 

 Watch how my cheeks jiggle while I walk.

 

 

 

 

 My friend, Lydia, and I play really well together.

 

  She's giving me a shoulder massage.

 

 I feel so much better.  Thanks!

 

 Then I shared my book with her.

 

 Mom loves this outfit.

 

 Here I am peering at people while they eat.

 

 

 

 I had my 15 month check-up. My grandmomma came with me.

 

This was my first time walking through the little person door.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I took Mr. Joe with me for support.

  

Let's practice my handshake so I'm ready to greet my Dr.

 

 

Um, what should I expect from this visit today?  I was 32 3/4" tall and 24.4 lbs.

 

 We had a Hallelujah party at church.  It was a "Wild West" theme. I dressed up like a cowgirl and Lydia was an Indian.

 

 I ran around all night long.

 

 At home I rode my horsey from Uncle Scooter and Anutie Ding.

 

Here's a live shot from the rodeo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Time for the poker face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Let's put out the fires.  It's time for bed.
