15-Month Birthday and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hi everyone!!  I am now 15-months old.  Can you believe it?  What a fun month it has been!  I did so many things.  So, let's get started!!

When it's warm out, mommy takes me to the park to play.  And, since it is mostly sunny and warm where I live, I get to the park quite a bit.

I am just so interested in leaves!!

It's so bright out!  I think I'm going to put on mommy's shades.

I am definitely more mobile now and I want the birds to know that I'm on to them.

If I'm not out at the park, I like playing with my toys at home and with my doggies.  I especially like Lucky.  He lets me play with him a lot!  He's my favorite.

This year, I had my first taste of Thanksgiving turkey.  It was so good.  I had some turkey at daddy's work and then for Thanksgiving, I went to Great Auntie Susanna and Uncle Richard's house and had some turkey with them.  Look how pretty the turkey is!!

After Thanksgiving, daddy took me and mommy to my first golf tournament.  I don't know what that is, but daddy keeps telling me I'm going to play it.  As long as I can play, I won't complain.  So, the entire day, I got to sit in this cool backpack and daddy carried me everywhere.  Mommy and daddy said that Pops and Grandma Liz gave this to me last Christmas.  What a great gift?!?!

This year, since we are staying home for Christmas, we went to cut my first real Christmas tree.  I didn't know what that was until I went to the tree farm.  I am having so much fun!!

Auntie Colleen and Uncle Eric came along to help us out.  Daddy and Uncle worked really hard.  I just enjoyed the moment and hanging with Auntie.

Well, that's about it.  I can't wait to share my adventures next month.  I get to see a lot of people. 

Bye!!

14-Months Old!! Happy Halloween!!

Hi everyone!!  What a busy month it has been?!  I am growing up so fast and I am busier every day.  I started to figure out this walking thing everyone keeps pushing me to do.  I'm not great at it, but I manage.  I also wore a costume and went trick or treating for Halloween.  But, let's start from the beginning, shall we?

So, to recap, I left off last month with my Halloween trip to Disneyland.  That was a lot of fun.  And, there was this big pumpkin that looked like Mickey Mouse.  Pretty cool, huh?

I also went to Santa Barbara Zoo for a birthday party.  I had so much fun at the party and I got to meet a rabbit.  It was a pretty big rabbit.  What do you think?

During the week, mommy and I like to visit daddy at work.  We have lunch with him and then I go to his office and take care of his work.  I'm pretty serious at work.

I even answer daddy's phone for him. 

Daddy loves it when I come visit him and so do his co-workers.  One of them nicknamed me "Pigtail Panda."  

When I'm not working with daddy, I go to Gymboree with mommy and even the park.  I'm learning how to enjoy the slide.  Not quite sure what to think about it right now, but it's supposed to be fun.

Before I could celebrate Halloween, I had to get a pumpkin first.  Apparently, this is a pumpkin!

Pretty big, huh?  It was definitely a fun day.  Mommy and daddy helped me walk to the pumpkin patch in my costume.  I'm supposed to be a lady bug.  I don't know what that is, but it's supposed to be cute.

I also went on a hay ride with mommy and daddy.  I think I had a pretty fun time.  What do you think?

Then, it was time for Halloween.  Mommy got me all dressed up and we went trick or treating around the neighborhood.  I think I just enjoyed walking up and down the streets.

We visited Miss Michelle and took a picture with Jordan, who was also a lady bug.

That was a lot of fun and supposedly, I got some candy.  But, mommy and daddy won't tell me what they did with that.  After Halloween, we went to visit Grandma Liz and Pops.  They were in town doing a dinner so I went to see them.  I played with some new toys with Grandma Liz, but all I really did was walk around. 

After seeing them, I saw ma ma and yea yea.  They came down to see me and to celebrate daddy's birthday.
 

I got to see so many people, and I helped daddy blow out his candle.

Mmmm, I like carrot cake!!

Well, that's it for now.  What a fun time!?!  I'll see you next time.

Bye!!

13-Months Old!!

Hi everyone!!  Has it already been a month since I last posted?  Sorry for the long delay.  But, now that I'm older, I do so much more so it's hard to put up a weekly blog.  There's so much to show you for this month.  I better get started!!

First, everyone came down and visited the week after my birthday to celebrate my baptism and a late birthday party.  I had all my grandparents, aunties, and uncles there.  I even had great uncles and aunties also.  

For baptism, I was put into holy water and blessed.  But, I rather just play in the water.  It was nice and warm, so it felt just like a bath.

After that, I wore my new white gown.  It's a baptismal gown and it was very pretty.  I took pictures with my godparents after the ceremony.  I'm lucky and have two sets of godparents!!

Then, I just took pictures with whomever wanted a piece of me.  I was definitely pretty popular.

After the baptism, I had my baptism and birthday party that Pops and Grandma Liz threw for me.  I really don't remember much, but there was this cake and Mickey Mouse toy.  

"Mom, I don't think these pictures make me look like a lady."

The next day, I went to church as a new Catholic and took pictures with Pops and Grandma Liz.

Also, I can't forget my uncles and aunties.  I'm laughing so hard because Grandma Liz is making faces at me!!

Finally, I took pictures with my cousin Elliot and my other uncle and aunties.  Everyone had to leave, so I was a little sad.

Second, mommy enrolled me into a Gymboree class.  It's where I can climb and play with toys and meet new friends.  I was definitely a little timid.  

But, I still had fun.  "Daddy, what are you doing over there?"

Finally, mommy and daddy took me to Halloween Disneyland.  I only vaguely remember Halloween from last year, but apparently, it's the time of the year when I dress up in a costume.  No clue what that means, but Disneyland was all decorated with pumpkins and stuff.  It was a lot of fun. 

I played with Uncle Calvin and Auntie Colleen and I rode more rides this time.  Mommy and daddy said they're getting used to taking me on rides so I plan to ride more next time.  Do you see the big pumpkins behind me and Auntie? 

Whew!!  What a month?!?!  Daddy and I are so tired.

See you next month!!
