Happy Halloween!

The pics are out of order, but they are so cute, who cares! I was a skunk. Yep, a skunk! I loved my costume but it was HOT.
I liked moving the candy back and forth between candy baskets. I also liked handing the candy out.
I trick or treated at 6 houses. 3 with mom. 3 with dad.
Here is a pic of the after party! I got to try a skittle, a few licks of a Tootsie Roll pop and a 3 Muskateer. That was the best. It earned Mommy a big smooch.
I heart 3 Muskateers.

Stinky Face

My first time to try on my costume. I cracked up everytime I put it on. It was kind of warm on Halloween so I took it off and on a few times!
Just out of the door to trick or treat.
Momma, another picture? Isn't Halloween about me?
Me and my fellow RSC trick or treaters!
Momma, stop taking my picture and let me drink my apple juice.

Fun Fair Weekend

I went to the Brazoria County Fair with Momma, Daddy, Aunt Marsha, Kevin, Jaci, Presley and Jackson. They had lots of cool animals for me to play around with. Right here I was poking the baby chicks. Some of them poked me back.
I tried to pet this big cow too but he liked Jackson better.
Here we are at the petting zoo. Presley had no fear. She even played with the very pregnant goat and pulled another by the horns. Luke and Jackson were a little more civilized.
I liked playing with the deer and seeing the piglets the best.
Here I am on the pony ride. I had a cantankerous horse that didn't like sudden movements. So, you guessed it, my horse didn't care for me much. I did have my boots and cowboy hat on for the ride though so I was legit.

Who is this Alan Jackson you speak of?

Check out my cowboy hat. I got it to dress up for the fair. Momma likes it because it makes me look like Alan Jackson. Who? Its something about my curls in the back.

15 MONTHS

Hello Ladies! I'm back.
Check me out. I'm 15 months old now. I've made huge progress this month. Momma is not sure she can get it all in writing. First things first. I eat EVERYTHING. Momma thought introducing the spoon and fork would slow me down but she was wrong. I have almost mastered them. My spoon in oatmeal is the best. I love oatmeal. I say lots of words now including Boo (for Halloween), bubbles (in the bath), tickle/tickle (see below), balloon, and vacuum. I am still pretty scared of the vacuum but I tackle my fears everyday by walking into the laundry room and yelling vacuum. I am RUNNING everywhere and can climb up on a lot of furniture and my high chair in its low setting. I love baths and get mad if I cannot take one whenever someone else is taking one. I love school now. I don't cry when Mimi or Momma drop me off and I don't want to leave when Mimi picks me up. I have a little crush on a girl named Corbin. I'm learning about the ladies too- like they don't like you to lift their dresses and point to their tummies. Sensitive. I like everything about airplanes. If I hear one in the sky I frantically look around until I locate it- even if I am inside or in the car. I also like to play airplane on Momma's legs, Daddy's are a little too high up for me. I sleep really well now too (about freaking time). I go down with hardly any storytime. I wake up in a pleasant mood and let Momma, Daddy and Mimi know I am awake by pushing my GloWorm's tummy or baby talking softly. I went to the doctor today and got my stats. I am 24 lbs 14 oz. (50%) I am 32 inches (75%). My head is 19.5 inches (95%). No comments about that noggin, please. I have a busy weekend ahead so hopefully my blog picture quality will improve. Catch you guys later.

Show me the Muscles

Momma has been trying desperately for more than a week to catch me doing two new tricks. I learned how to "Show My Muscles" and to "Tickle". The funny think about tickling is that I say "Tickle, tickle, tickle" just like a grown up. It is the clearest word that I say. Momma admits that this is a lame portrayal of my trick but its all she got and when the blog bullies are breathing down her neck this is as good as it gets!!

Bazaar Bazaar

Holy Ghost Bazaar was upon us again! We went two days in a row. I loved this little duck game. You fish a duck out of the pond and then get tickets according to how many stars are on the ducks' butt. I got a lot of tickets because the nice ladies kept putting the 20 ticket duck in my net. It was awesome
See all my tickets? I forgot the other great part of the Bazaar - - it is the cupcakes. I loved the cupcakes. I even rubbed one chocolate one all over my legs. I heard it was good for my skin! I was so revved up on cupcakes I stayed up until 9p.m.

New House?

That's right- Mimi and Buddy are well on their way to a new house in the country. They still have to sell that pesky old place in Bellaire but as soon as they do, this and more will be theirs. We cannot wait! It has a pool (duh), a pond, a barn, fancy dog kennels where Archie can live (I mean visit, of course), a green house, a garden and a chicken coop. It even comes with a guinea hen. The best part- it is not too far from my crib. Keep your fingers crossed for a sale of the Bellaire house. Anyone interested?

Birthday Party

Mommy and Mimi's friend Erin and her family (Colm, Jordan, Marcus, and Brendan, Nonny and Fred) came to Mimi's house for Brendan and Marcus' birthdays. The O'Loughlin family was in town to visit their grandparents. There were two big cakes-one with airplanes and one that was a frog. I had a little bit of both. I also had ice cream and ribs. I love TC's ribs. We played outside until it started raining. Then we went inside to the balloon room.
There was a pinata too. It is very kid friendly- you just pulled strings from the bottom and then lots of goodies fell out.
I said there was a balloon room. Mimi thinks of everything when it comes to birthday parties.
We opened presents in the balloon room. Marcus got two airplanes and a set of cool puzzles. Marcus also got a scooter from his grandparents. Lucky guy. The Amazing Jordan got a little mermaid outfit. Brendan got crocs and puzzles. They cleaned up.
The O'Loughlins gave cool presents too- the party favors had airplanes and binoculars. I used my second eyes to hunt down the escaped balloons that got caught in the trees at Mimis.

Friday Fun Night

Mommy and Daddy love this picture. I was in a silly mood on Friday night. I was into everything. Here I am showing Mommy how to blow her nose in the kleenex.
Mommy, I said if I show you my tummy you have to show me your tummy too. Mommy is being a poor sport.

She made it up to me by playing airplane. I love airplanes and that includes pretend Mommy airplanes.

Say hello to my little friend

On Friday fun night with my folks I played on the telephone too.

They call me the fireman

The firetruck came to my school on Thursday. I got to check it out. Then I got a cool fire department sticker and an awesome hat. I've been wearing this hat ever since. It also cracks me up when my Mommy and Daddy wear it.

Family Visit with the New Neighbors?

My cousins Brittany and Ashley came to visit with their Mom and Rob. They came to Texas to look for a new house because they are probably going to move here in December.
I'm not sure how I feel about all these girls in the house? Where are Daddy, Pappy and Rob?
I'll stop crying if you let me pull your loose tooth!
Check out my new duds. Nana took us all shopping. I cleaned house.
I don't really like shopping for girl clothes though- can we please go home soon?

Daddy's Dove Hunt

The ladies got to play because the Daddies were away. Buddy, Daddy, Pappy and Uncle Rob all went on a dove hunt in Hondo Texas this weekend. They slayed 'em.
Here is a picture of Daddy and his fancy new gun. Apparently, Daddy cannot miss with this bad boy.
It was Uncle Rob's first time to really hunt but he did a good job. He even looks like a natural.

They hunted at a fancy ranch with buffalo, elk and other exotics. Isn't this a great pic? Daddy should work for national geographic?

Fish Feeder

I love to feed the fish in Buddy's pond. Sue Sue's friend Travis was helping me do it- one fish pellet at a time!

Buddy's Little Helper

I spent last weekend at Mimi and Buddy's house while Daddy was fishing and Momma had a girl's weekend. I was a big help to Buddy.
Can't a guy get some help?
This is more like it.

All that yard work made me tired so I took a long nap at Sue Sue's new apartment.
