Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween! We've had a great few days! Friday we went to visit my friends Abby & Logan. Mom & Dad watch some tv show with their mom & dad, and we either sleep or play. I had a lot of fun with my friends:)

Saturday Marie & Olivier came over to visit. Marie dressed up as a princess! Then Sunday we had breakfast with Marie & Olivier, and then Dad, Mom, and I went to the pumpkin patch! Here are some pictures...






For Halloween, I wanted to be an ewok! Dad and Uncle Chris love these movies, called Star Wars, and I wanted to be a cute animal from the movies! So Grandma made me a costume, thanks Grandma!! We went over to spend Halloween with my friends Kristopher and Ella. Kristopher dressed up as a ghost and Ella was a cat. They looked cool! Everyone ate dinner, then carved pumpkins. Dad's looked really crazy...it looked like a pumpkin that got sick:) hahaha...Then we went trick or treating...well, I rode in my stroller while Kristopher and Ella got some candy. (But I saw Mom & Dad sneak some treats too!)

Here's a picture of me in my costume...


This is a picture of Ella, dressed up as a cat...
Here we are trick or treating by Kristopher & Ella's house, there were a lot of people out! I think we should go back there every year!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
Oh yeah, and I turned 5 months old on Monday! Mommy said she can't believe how big I'm getting. I'm just about sitting up by myself...it's great because then I can watch everything!

What a Trip!


So we just got back from the coolest trip of my life (I know, its only been four months, but still)...

We went on a Caribbean cruise! We left from Miami, went to Haiti (my parents keep stressing that we went to a private beach on Haiti, not Port au Prince, wherever that is), Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. We stayed on this huge cruise ship, along with my Grandma and Grandma, Aunt Lori, Aunt Sheri, Uncle Chris, and Aunt Ginny. We had four rooms next to each other, with a shared balcony, so I spent a lot of time with each of them. I also tried to hang out with my grandfolks a lot so that Mom and Dad could enjoy the cruise ship nightlife, whatever that means.


Here are some of the pictures from the cruise - or you can see them all at the link below:

Here I am in my special life vest. Lucky for me, I only had to wear this once, during muster on the first day. I especially enjoyed the head rest.


This is me on our private balcony! Mom and Dad seemed really intent on keepin me out of the sun, but that didn't stop me from having a great time.


Here I am swimming for the first time! Well, maybe floating better describes it. As long as the water is over 85 degrees, I'm totally happy.


We went shopping in Jamaica, and then for a drink at Margaritaville. Then Grandma and Grandpa took me back to the ship, while my folks hiked Dunn's River Falls.


In Mexico, we went to see some Mayan ruins. I don't remember much about the ruins, but I can tell you it was way too hot! I didn't sweat quite as much as Daddy - but thats cuz I stayed in the shade.


It was tough saying goodbye after such a great trip. Grandma and Grandpa dropped us off at the airport. Back to the daily grind - oh well.

It's Getting Chilly!

It feels like fall here! All of the sudden, Mommy is dressing me in hoodies and pants! We took a walk this evening and my toes got cold! Sounds like a good time to escape to the Caribbean...

This is a picture of me & Mommy doing the jumping game! I love to stand on anything and try to jump up and down...


I've been doing well, hopefully I'm finally getting over my cold! Daddy said we have gone through a lot of Kleenex over the past couple weeks.


We had a nice weekend! Friday night my friends Abby and Logan came over to visit. Here's a picture of me & Logan...


Then Saturday we went to Walnut Creek for lunch and some outside time. Saturday afternoon my friends Marie & Olivier came over and we went out to dinner! It was fun, I love being outside! Sunday Mommy & I went grocery shopping while Daddy worked from home. Then we hung around the house so Mommy & Daddy could start getting ready for our vacation!! School was closed Monday, so I got to play hookey and stay home with Mommy, then Daddy, and Sophie! Today it was back to school, so I got to see all of my friends!

Here's another cute picture, me in my overalls:)

Well I won't be posting next week, since I will be in the Caribbean! Hope everyone has a nice week and I will tell you all about our trip when we get back!

4 Months Old!!!

Yes, I like to chew on my fingers...

I celebrated my 4 month birthday on Saturday! (Grandma even called to wish me happy birthday!) It's been a great four months. Guess what I figured out on Sunday? How to roll over the other direction! I've got the back-to-tummy thing down, easy peesy! But apparently Sunday early morning, when I was sound asleep on my tummy in my crib, Mommy asked Daddy, "when do you think she will wake up on her back?" And can you believe it??? That morning I rolled back over onto my back! Mommy must have ESP! Then I did it a few more times that day. Hey, that direction is pretty easy!

Today I had my 4 month checkup with my doctor. He said I'm growing like a weed! I'm up to 25 1/2 inches, that's 5 inches since I was born! (So I'm in the 90th percentile for height) I weigh 14 lbs 14 oz (75th percentile), and my head is 17 inches around (94th percentile). So the doctor was really happy with everything! Then I got some more shots, yucky! I cried a little, but Daddy made me feel so much better afterwards. Here are my charts from today...



























I've had my share of ickiness...so far, I've had two colds, one stomach flu, and pink eye:( But I've gotten through most of them! (My second cold is still hanging around.) Mommy & Daddy are so happy because all of those germs make me sleepy...
We went over to Aunt Beepers and Uncle Stephane's house this weekend. My friend Olivier let me play with his cool toy! Check me out with Auntie Beepers!





We've been taking some weekends to be together as a family. No trips recently...but we have a big trip coming up! We are going on our cruise in less than two weeks!! Yippee! Mommy said I get to swim at the beach and feel the warm sun! (But I will be enjoying my whole trip in the shade!) I can't wait!
