I totally forgot about my Halloween pictures!

I promised to post these pictures from Grandpa Larry, but I forgot to make Daddy do it. They were taken at the pumpkin exhibit at the Arboretum... Here they are:

Straw is interesting and prickly:





This is one big pumpkin!

Cheesecake!

Since I'm getting pretty good at standing, and Daddy still takes a lot of pictures of me, I'm working on posing.



Aside from a bad hairstyle, this one's meant to be cute, but coy.



My shampoo mohawks are looking better:



In other news, I like to wash my hands after eating and I love the running water. I could hold my hand under there for as long as I can stand on my little step-stool.



After I wash my hands, I like to work out on the StairMaster...

I'm Sick...

I hope I feel better soon....

S

Happy Halloween!

You've seen the pictures from before, but Grandma and Grandpa took some more at the Arboretum with me and some giant orange pumpkins. I'll have those ready to show you soon. Until then, here's a video daddy made of me being naughty.

Wow! I've got the big news!

Get this, I'm a crawler now! Woo!



I can pretty much go anywhere I want. I should add that I have a giant fence thing that keeps me from going too far, but all my toys are inside so it's no big deal.

I love having stories read to me but I've only got about 10 books and, well, let's just say I'm familiar with the storylines.... Opa, on the other hand, finds a lot to like!



I have a love/hate relationship with the funny colored cat. She has the softest fur, but she's not wild about how I pet her (It's a lot more like yanking than petting. -- ed.) so we get into some scuffles from time to time.



Finally, my Halloween costume is done. I'm going as a sunflower and, if I may say so, a pretty cute one. Grandma Barbara made it all, including the fuzzy hat...(which I hate)



S

Play with me...

This is some video (and music!) of me playing on the floor. This is from a while ago, so I can do more stuff now, but this is a pretty good idea of what it's like at my pad...



S

Man, my daddy is lazy...

I gave him about a million looks just like this one...



Still, he didn't process the pictures and post them up on my page. (http://picasaweb.google.com/vfrdirk)

So, when I got word, through the Baby Alert Network, that Harley's mom was looking for another blog post, I really gave him the look:



So, here we are...

I've got a new trick. I can sort of stand up and, a couple of nights ago, I actually pulled myself up from a sitting position to standing holding on to a chair. Plus, once I'm up I can sort of shuffle around while holding on.



I went to the State Fair. It was warm, a little smelly and damp (sometimes, so are you... -ed.) but it was pretty fun.



In other news, BATH TIME IS AWESOME TIME!!!



I got this bathrobe from my great-uncle Walter! Cute, pink and awesome! (so are you, little girl... -ed.)

Oh, and the practical tip of the day is: All the best stuff can be found in the big diaper bag!




So, keep reading the blog and the cat and I will continue to work on our dirty looks...
