Halloween!

On Sunday, our church hosted Trunk-or-Treat. It's a great alternative to the traditional door-to-door approach. Are you ready to see my transformation? Bet you can't guess what I'll be!
















Mommy's struggling to put my costume on. I was just so excited to go Trunk-or-Treating that I couldn't stay still.



















Hair and make-up were next... well, only the make-up part... some whiskers...



















...and a little pink nose...
















Make-up is finished! Last chance! Any guesses?




















My BUNNY costume is complete! I'm ready to go!


















Wait... where's my carrot? A bunny has to have a carrot!


















SHOW ME THE CANDY!


















My goal is to fill up my treat bag MULTIPLE times!


















Drew came Trunk-or-Treating with me. Let's go get some candy!

1st Annual Pumpkin Patch Trip

We took our first trip to Campbell's Pumpkin Patch in Wabash, IN. Daddy worked really hard to get his school work done so we could have a family outting! I wanted to check out the burros first. This one came over to visit me.












Daddy and I get comfortable before taking off on my first hayride! It was a blast!



















Here I am with Daddy after the hayride. Can you see my shirt? It says "Little Pumpkin." I wore it for this special occasion!













Mommy and I visit the goats next. We have fun feeding them corn. When the goats eat the corn, it feels funny on my hands!













There were millions of pumpkins. Here I am smiling big with our first family pumpkin!













YEAH! What a fun day!


















Here's our first family pumpkin... hopefully we'll get it carved before Halloween!

Dancing Queen

I love to dance. Watch these moves!

What a Mess!

I refuse to use a spoon or fork! Every food is a finger food!

My First Pumpkin

Here it is! My very first pumpkin!













I wouldn't recommend eating it though... GROSS!


















Too cute!

11 Months

I turned 11 months last Sunday. Here are some of my favorite things:

To eat:
Zesta crackers
cheese
pancakes

To play with:
my new kitchen
stuffed animals
books

And my absolute favorite thing to do: DANCE!

Bath Time

I love taking baths! Playing in the water is so much fun!











Everyone needs a rubber duck!












Mommy makes sure I'm nice and warm in my towel after my bath.













Look at that clean face!

Prison!

I HATE when Mommy puts me in the pack n' play. It's like prison!












LET ME OUT OF HERE!













I give up! Maybe if I just stand here and look cute Mommy will get me out.

Ducktail Run

During the last weekend in September, Uncle Ben, Aunt Lindsey, Daddy, Mommy, and I went to Ducktail Run. Mommy likes to call it her annual fair food fix.











And what satisfies Mommy's fair food craving? An elephant ear, of course! Here I am enjoying my first elephant ear! YUMMY!















Ducktail Run is a car show... so we thought we should put a picture of one of the cool cars we saw!

Play Date with Gracie!

This is my best friend Gracie. Yes, she really is that much taller than I am. Her dad is 6'4" and mine is 5'9". What else can I say?












We had fun playing with my new kitchen.

New Toy!

Some very special people came to visit this past weekend: Grandma and Grandpa Dodrill! They brought me a surprise... my very own kitchen!











Wow! Cooking makes you tired! I better sit down and take a break!

24 Hours Later

Here I am 24 hours after my first attempt at walking. I went from taking 4 or 5 steps to walking across the T.V. room ALL BY MYSELF!

Yep! It's True!

I'm walking!!! Check out my video!

NO, NO, NO!

Mommy says this picture makes her and Daddy very nervous! Daddy has already said, "NO...

you may NOT have your own cell phone.

NO... you may NOT borrow the car. And while we're at it ... NO, you may not date until you're 101!"

Walking with Daddy

Walking is my favorite new activity! I still need assistance though. Take a look! I'm getting pretty good!

What do you think of the videos directly on the blog vs. on YouTube? Which do you like better?

Mad Face

So Mommy decided she would try uploading the video straight to the blog. We'll see how it works. As most of you know, I'm famous for the silly faces that I make. Here's another one to add to the list. I learned this from my friend Gracie. Mommy and Daddy call it my "Mad Face" although I sometimes I make it just for fun.
