9 Months!

I've now officially spent more time on the outside than I have on the inside (of my mommy's tummy).  These last 9 months sure have gone by more quickly than the first 9 months- man I thought I was never getting out of there!

I was a lady bug for Halloween- I'm not sure Trunk or Treating is my thing, but lollipops sure are.

me and baby Jack

oh boy this was good

I have a Jack!

I have a baby cousin, Jack, but no pictures yet! I will soon though, don't worry.  Here are a few things I've been up to this week.

I visited my Aunt Ali at her shop some and modeled my sunglasses that she gave me.

visited with my great grandparents.

caught up with my uncle Jon Jon

Decided to add the iPad to my list for Santa.  I just thought cell phones were the greatest, but this is much better...a GIANT cell phone!

And saw my Mommy's friend Britney- she has a baby in her belly that is coming any day too!

and my good friend Carter.

Photo Shoot at the Park

They loaded me up with a few pumpkins for a photo shoot at the park down the road.  It was not too bad as far as photo shoots go, but I have to say the leaves were much more interesting than the camera.

I know, not the most flattering neck angle guys.

October Fun

I'm getting very close to crawling.  It's super easy to get from sitting to all fours and back again, and I can also move my hands and arms.  It's very difficult to coordinate your legs at the same time...usually I just walk my hands out until I am on my tummy, and then of course, I get upset about that.  Here are some of my attempts:

Just playing

And me and my bumpy pumpkin

I've started doing this new thing where I take my top lip and suck it noisily in my mouth.  They think it's super funny.  

8 Months

It's fall around here lately- we are bundling up and staying warm.

I'm still not scooting or crawling, but I spin on the wood floor sometimes.  The heating vent is my new favorite thing.

So sad- I'm finally big enough to wear the size 2-3 diapers on my last diaper cake that was still intact.  It was fun to look at!  

At the farmer's market last weekend there was a big old truck full of pumpkins- they couldn't resist putting me up there.

Just chillin'

Mommy and me have just been chilling out this week.  Lots of walks in the park and naps.

Been helping Daddy go through his mail- he needed help.

And eating, eating, eating.  I LOVE to eat again!  Everything except parsnip and banana.  Gag me.  My list now includes: apples, pears, papaya, mango, prunes, blueberries, peaches, butternut squash, zucchini, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, broccoli, leeks, and chicken.  Mommy makes everything for me herself- I sure go through it fast- sometimes 15 ice cube's worth of food a day- that's a LOT of pureeing!

oh, and did I mention Cheerios??  Grammie introduced them to me while she was here and I LOVE them. 

I chase them around my tray.

I suck all the juice out.

Then organize them in a neat row.

I can't help it, both of my parents are OC.

This was me this morning before church

And I got my first pumpkin ever at the farmer's market.  It's just my size.

Last weekend fun

I had lots of fun with Grammie and Pops last weekend.  Pops dropped in for a quick visit and Grammie stayed all week.

This is my new favorite outfit for the fall- Dad thinks it looks a little clowney, but not me.

I love pulling strings especially when they are connected to people
