Sorry I'm sideways.... The swing is one of my new favorite things. I can even start to do it "all by my big self".

It's just amazing how fast I'm growing. I still love to slide and play outside. I'm so much more fun now that I can communicate a little more effectively. :)

Since Mommy is traveling on Halloween this year, it seems only fair that I get to wear my costume all month and get my "dressed up" pictures early. :) I am really into Kitties right now and that's what I wanted to be for Halloween. Now, last year, I was into Lady bugs and so that was my costume. After Halloween, Mommy noticed that almost ALL of my little friends were also Lady bugs. So, my friend Katie (shown above) was very excited about her costume this year, yup, you guessed it... a Kitty. She bought it way back even before October. Can you blame her? It's adorable! But, when Mommy went out to find my kitty costume, they were all pretty much either Tigers like Katie's (and not nearly as adorable) or a little on the not so appropriate side of things. So, we scoured the internet and found this Kitty costume. I'm pretty certain I will be the only one with this costume in my circle of friends this year! :) Aren't I adorable with my little curls and pink/black Tutu?

My Mommy made me a sling just like hers. I like to use it for my new baby, "Lola". It sounds just like how I say Aunt "Laura". I'm really into being "just like Mommy" right now. It is soooo cute!

Ahhh.... Vacation......

We had a great vacation with some of our friends down in Port Aransas!

My first sail! I'm hooked!

Daddy's teaching me to surf!

Thanks for the floatie Aunt Emmy!

I got to practice racing cars like my Grandpa, "Dopadop" aka "Noah"
Look out Danica Patrick!

I love my Great-Grandma Carolyn!

Showing my Grandma my exercise knowledge. My mommy is such an OT.

Fun drawing with Uncle Jeremy

This is so cool! My grandpa has four wheelers! How different can this be from a rocking horse?

I was really great on my own until I found the reverse button. This is the last photo in this series. I did actually ride around with my cousin independently. we went a whopping five miles an hour!!! Mom wasn't so keen on my riding solo just yet. She thought I was safe since I couldn't reach the foot pedals. She didn't count on me finding the reverse knob! I don't know who was more startled. Me at jolting backward, or Mommy trying to make sure I didn't fall off. Luckily, I've got great balance and was able to "hold my own". Looks like I'm gonna fit in up here in the "country".

My cousin taught me how to ride a four wheeler on my trip to Indiana. My mommy is so responsible....He's three. :)

It's official, I'm in my big girl bed now!

My first nap in my big girl bed. :) Looks like bedtime prayers will be easy! The reason I'm in my pajamas, is because twenty minutes prior I was naked (having now learned to take clothes and diaper completely off today as well). Not only was I naked, but I had poo all over my floor and was sitting on my floor naked, trying my best to put on all of my pants out of my dresser. Needless to say, Mommy and I will be doing some deep cleaning and laundry when I wake up. Sweet Dreams!

Pretty Katie!

My favorite curl.... I love this camera! :)

Peekaboo!
