Halloween Part Deaux

I went to sleep so early I didn't even get a chance to see my friend, Mac. So on Sunday, when our daddies get together to watch football, we got dressed up again!


We also got dressed up again so Daddy could see me in my costume. Are you seeing a trend with my pictures? My hand is back in my mouth again all the time because I am getting those teeth. Right now I have my front two bottom teeth, and man, do they make my mouth feel funny.

Zoo

My parents took me to the zoo on Saturday to show me the animal I dressed up like the night before. I don't know do you see the resemblance?

He came really close to us and I got to see his very long tongue.



After the zoo we went to see JJ, Dan and Danny who were visiting the Starr family. I liked playing with Danny. He liked to scream just like me!

Halloween

I liked my giraffe costume. It had a tail that I liked playing with and the hood kept me nice and warm (even though it was 85 degrees at 6:30). I really enjoyed the way people smiled and laughed when they saw me.


Mommy and I stayed at home to pass out candy and Daddy had to work. I guess this holiday will be better when I can actually eat some candy.


I saw two trick-or-treaters before I got really tired and had to go inside to go to bed. All in all I would have to rate this as one of the silliest days in my 8 month life so far!

My dad has me on this new routine to get me walking as soon as possible. Everyday I have to do 20 laps around my new toy. My mom thinks he's being too hard on my, but I don't think he is. I really want to walk and if this is what it's going to take, then I'm all in. My goal is to walk off the plane when we land in L.A. for Thanksgiving. Wish me luck!

Can't Sit Still

I just can't seem to sit still long enough for Mommy to get a good picture of me these days. I am on the move and I want to see what everything is and how everything works. The camera happens to be one of the things that I love to investigate the most! At least you can see how curly my hair has gotten!

This shirt says, "So Cute It's Scary" but you can't see it because I was too busy to sit still!

This little ring is my favorite thing to chew on this week, you want to know why? I finally got my first tooth. For the most part it has not been that painful but every once in a while I bite down on something and I forget it is there and it hurts!



I get so excited when I stand up but then I get frustrated when Mommy and Daddy won't let me touch the thing that I stood up to see!

Cruisin' at 8 Months Old

So ever since our trip to LA (when I figured out how to pull myself up to stand) I've been practicing walking a lot. I've been having fun cruising around on the furniture. I spend hours going round and round in circles around the coffee table. I have fun taking things off the table and dropping them on the floor. I haven't quite figured out how to pick up the small stuff yet and the corners are kind of tricky but I am having lots of fun. I don't even want to crawl around anymore. I just want to get better at walking so I don't have to hold on to anything anymore.


Daddy thinks that if we wear Raiders gear it will bring them luck. So far it hasn't, and it didn't work very well for the Dodgers either. Oh well, it was worth a try... better luck next time.

On the Road Again!

I was finally able to stay awake long enough to look out the window of the plane when it was moving. It was so neat! I couldn't take my eyes off of the clouds and the scenery down below. It was spectacular.

When I got to L.A. I spent some time with Uncle D. We always have so much fun together. I liked getting to ride on his shoulders.

This is my aunt Tee-Tee. She told me that I was getting so big and that my hair had grown a lot since the last time she saw me. She liked the curls on top of my head!

Cousin Malia... She is my buddy. She likes to play with me. She helped Mommy and Daddy feed me and change my dirty diapers, even the smelly ones! She still moves a lot faster than me, and it was a good thing too because if she slowed down just a little bit, I would have put one of her braids in my mouth!

I've been doing a lot of moving around lately and Grandma Moss figured out a way to slow me down. I don't like the way grass feels on my feet (it's too pokey!) so I wouldn't move off the blanket.

I can't even relax in my bath. I had to show Mommy how I could stand up!

Now I am in my jammies with the pumpkin on my backside.

My family thinks that they are so smart but I'll show them. After I took my bath, Mommy put lotion on me and dried me off and wiped my nose. I like to try and eat every one of those things so she tried to put them up on the chair after she was done. She didn't know that I was going to show her one of my new tricks.

They think I am not strong enough to actually pull myself up on that chair....

I showed them! Can't hide anything from me anymore!! I will find a way to get it!
