my first halloween party!

here i am with mommy and joely at the beasley's pumpkin fest (more pictures at www.livinglifewithlovelylivi.blogspot.com) i am a carrot of course, mommy is a gardener, and joely is stephanie from lazytown. mommy and joely were the pumpkin carving judges. it was so much fun, i didn't even notice the cold and i got to go on my first hayride which was very exciting! thanks beasleys for hosting such a fun event.

whew, what a week!

what a week... my grammy ginna and grampa gary were in visiting, i had a fun playdate with brooks, and then i got to try rice cereal. blechh! i was not impressed. it has seemed to help mommy get more sleep though, so i'm trying to like it. i'll let you know how it goes.

what are you doing to me?

still not sure even in daddy's arms

loving daddy

daddy made me promise to put up this picture of me and mommy sleeping in on her day off... she wasn't so sure but i think it's funny, us sleeping the same way

spending the weekend with pops and granny

i had a fantastic weekend with my pops and granny. we did a lot of hanging out around the house playing, and today we went to loveless for a good old southern breakfast (well, i didn't really eat, but everyone said the food was fantastic). it was a pretty fall day and i will miss them now that they've gone home.

daddy taught me about fruit, can't wait to try some

oh, fall in new hampshire!

so, last weekend we went to new hampshire to see my great auntie barbara and uncle bob, meet my cousins, and spend some time with mommy and daddy's friends the solins. not to mention they wanted to show me what fall was all about in new england. on our flight out i had a little problem with my disposable diapers. i have grown so much that the ones mommy put on me weren't quite capable of containing all i have to offer. and of course, mommy and daddy forgot to pack a spare outfit in my diaper bag. needless to say, i was quite the looker for the rest of the flight... the best part was i got a one-of-a-kind "house of blues" t-shirt at midway airport! here i am with daddy at the burrito shack modeling my fall fashions

the weather was so perfect, mommy and daddy finally took me to a playground and as you can see i love swings and slides. more, more, more!

on friday night i went to an early thanksgiving dinner with auntie barbara and all her family. it was a joyous time. the girls loved doting on me and my cousin kate was very knowledgeable about how to hold me and make sure i was safe... i got a bit lost in all their antics but i learned i can be a lot louder than i previously realized!

can you spot my pacifier?

kate and sara and evie all gave me loving head pats throughout the night

here i am with daddy and uncle dave and ben... ben shared lots of his old toys with me and i can't wait to go back and play with his trucks when i'm a little bigger

and a few just because...

snoozing at the coffee shop in a snazzy outfit from grammy ginna that finally fits ;-) lounging at home with daddy, he's my favorite
oh, and did i tell you about my jumpy seat? it's the best, i could go for hours

i love my grammy!

my grammy came to see me last week too, we played every day, at night she read me stories and tucked me in, we had quite a time. i only wish she lived closer so i could see her more often!

fun with sony

my mommy's friend sonja came all the way from germany to see me last week. we had fun goofing around and playing with the new bear she brought me. his name is klaus.

out for fun and a date

today nanny kacey took me to make projects... can't wait to see how it turns out, i am a true artiste she also introduced me to her nephew khristian, it was our first date and we were both a little shy
