Pumpkin Patch!!!

Every October my cousins get together and go to Fairbanks Farms to pick out pumpkins for Halloween. I have to say, my first trip was really cool. The weather was dry and sunny, perfect for pumpkin pickin'.


This one looks pretty good.


Oh my! Can we take this one home Mom?


They have lots of animals to look at, they had pigs and cows, bunnies and chicks, ponies and turkeys.


I got to pet some goats, it was really neat!

They were very nice goats and they let me grab their ears and touch their noses.

Everyone get in the wagon for a picture!

That was real fun Mom! I want to come back tomorrow!

After the farm, we all went back to Grammy and Papa's house for lunch. We gathered all the kids together for a picture. It was hard to get everyone's attention at the same time.

Grammy says it's like herding cats, whatever that means. I'm ready for the picture.

Hockey Night!!!!

Mommy and Daddy took me to a Silvertips hockey game yesterday. I had a blast! We watched the hockey guys skate around so fast and when they scored a goal we would all jump up down. I was screaming and clapping for everybody. I even danced when they played the music really loud.

I got to wear my jersey, don't I look cute?

Also, did you know that I am 10 months old today? I am growing so fast and learning so many things. Today I showed Mommy I can do the sign for 'more'

Silly Mommy! Of course I want more bananas! Who doesn't?

Do the Puyallup!

Mommy took me to the Puyallup Fair, we had oodles of fun! We met up with my friends Daron and Drake! Daron is my good buddy. We held hands, aren't we cute! There were ALOT of people to look at, it was really crowded.

We went to go see Diego, he was alot bigger in person!

Then we headed over to the petting barn, the goats were a little scary.

But Daron liked them, so I thought, they couldn't be all that bad.

I got to pet a little bunny rabbit, he was really soft.

We also saw some brand new baby piglets, they were just 2 days old. They are so cute and sleepy!

I got to see some baby chicks, I really wanted to grab them.

It was a real fun day at the fair, next year maybe I'll try out some rides!

Watch me grow!

Last Friday I went to see my Doctor for a checkup. They weighed me and measured how long I was. I am 20 pounds 6 ounces and I am 28.5 inches tall. I'm getting so big!

I've also learned how to climb. Here's me showing off on some stairs.

Mommy took me to a park the other day, I had some fun eating the bark chips.

And exploring some new textures!

Pretty soon I'll be zooming down this slide by myself!

9 months old today!

I made it to three quarters of a year! Here are a few of the things I have been doing lately. I have 2 more teeth, they grew in on the top, but they're not in the middle. If I don't grow the middle ones soon, Mommy says I could be a vampire or a Jack O'Lantern for Halloween.

I went to a birthday party for my cousin Peyton, she has a sand table! I was very busy playing with all the toys and eating the sand.


I'm learning to play the piano. Papa is a pretty good teacher. I'm already writing my first song.



I spent a little time kissing the baby in the mirror.




Hey mom! This baby looks like me!

Night Night Time

Every night before I go to bed I have dinner and a bath.
Tonight the dinner menu is mashed carrots, chicken and sweet potatoes puree and a little rice cereal. Yummy!


I'm still practicing feeding myself......I missed.

Now to wash off all the carrots. I just love bath time! I have so much fun chewing on cups and chasing my ducky around.

Watch out! The first two rows are in the 'Splash zone'!!!!

Before I get my pj's on, sometimes I get to play for a little bit. Mommy calls it 'nakey time'.

Then it's off to Night Night!

Just being me!!!

I'm having a fun summer so far. Mommy takes me to visit lots of places. I like to go to Grammy's house and play in her kitchen.

These things are so interesting and noisy.

I also love to play peekaboo! I could do it for hours!!!

It's so much fun to be a baby!!!

growing up fast!

Mommy says I am growing up too fast, but I think I'm a big girl and I want to do big girl things.

I have mastered the art of pulling up on the furniture and grabbing anything I can reach.



Look mom, only one hand!




I want those papers!!

I'm getting real good at picking things up with my fingers so Mommy gave me sweet potato puffs, yummy! If only I could get them in my mouth.

I also got a new toy that I can stand up and play with, it has a ton of buttons with music and ABC's. It's so much fun!!!!

A trip to the Pt. Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

Mommy took me to the Pt. Defiance Zoo & Aquarium this week. We met up with Grandma and Auntie Kim and all my cousins too!

Here is the whole crew.

We had a good time checking out all the animals.

Here is Cody and Mariah checking out the elephant.

I don't know what this is, but it sure is funny.

We took a break for lunch, Grandma fed me some sweet potatoes, yummy!

The polar bear was having some lunch too!

We went to check out all the fishies and sea animals. The walrus kept swimming over to the window. I was really interested in them, they were HUGE!!! I like looking at all the fishies too, I kept knocking on their windows, but they wouldn't let me in.

The meerkats were really cute, they looked really friendly, and I wanted to pet them.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of them!

How to beat the heat!

It's the middle of summer, it's 103 degrees, and I need to cool off. What do I do? I take a dip in the pool!


This is so much fun!

Mmmmm....ducky.

I hope everyone is staying cool during this heat wave.
