Hallo-WHAT?

I do what with the bag? Collect stuff I can't eat? That seems wrong...I heard there are costumes involved...surely the bag is a costume, no? That at least makes more sense than a collector of useless items- let' see

Yes, this will do...I am a chef, or a bag lady or perhaps just a jumping baby with a big head in the middle of a rain forest, yes- that's original. Mom has brought up the slight complication of traveling from house to house in my jumperoo...oh well, we had a good run; have to think of something else...

I've been booed!

We were recently introduced to the phenomenon of "booing". Apparently, several weeks before Halloween, children go around "booing" each other to spread the Halloween spirit. This "booing" consists of putting together some kind of gift (tricks, treats, anything appropriate for the holiday), waiting til dark, then ringing the doorbell of the boo-e and running...ah to grow up in a world where the whole scheme of collecting entirely too much sugar in one night just isn't enough anymore.

In addition to the gifts that were left on our doorstep at night, we have received several left on the doorstep by the UPS man as well. We tried to get all my Halloween goodies in a picture together, but you can see how well that went. Thanks to everyone who has sent us something to help Blayne celebrate her first Halloween in style.

In tradition of "booing" the idea is to "boo" two other people after you yourself have been booed. We of course continued to spread the wealth with our neighbors, but we wanted to "boo" all of our blog fans as well...or as much as you can via the Internet. So in that last picture there, I am wishing you all a happy Halloween and BOO to you (notice I'm waving...or flailing my arms, either will work)!

*Also take a glance at the middle pic- I choose that pose all on my own...man, daddy's in way over his head...

Don't mind me-

...just trying to keep up with the Jones. These days everyone has updated their blogs to look so nice and professional. Well...as you can see, we're doing our best to re-do ours. Mommy isn't exactly HTML savvy, so it is a bit of a trial and error thing we've got going at the moment, so stick with us...we'll get there.

Green is surprisingly good

You are what you wear

So- Mia, Bucca and Aunt Haley sent me this (what we thought was a) super cute jammie for Halloween. Mommy thought it was adorable so after my bath last night she got me all bundled up in it and ready for my bottle. Well, after a record high 6 times mommy drug herself out of bed last night to attend a screaming baby, the jammie is just more of a statement and not such a cute piece of clothing after all ;-)

On what can we blame this all night charade- a new tooth? getting sick? not enough to eat? No, no...I think we simply have to accept that sometimes we are what we wear. Needless to say, we'll go back to my sweet bunny PJs and save this for a day when daddy's on duty...after all, that seems appropriate given I'm his little monster.

New Hands!

So, I knew I had two, but four!?! This is great news. I have been using them to kick things but never showed much interest in grabbing them tonight in the tub. All of a sudden I just grabbed my foot and stuck it in my mouth! Mmmm...it's no butternut squash, but it'll do.
I am a rolly-polly chunk of love so there are lots of folds in my skin when I bend like this, but- despite appearances, I assure you these photos are G-rated.

Happy Anniversary

Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary to my mommy and daddy!


Daddy always says he checks the blog to see what mommy really thinks of him and his adventures (this stands true more for the house blog than mine, but either way), so we wanted to give him a big public hurray and thank you!



Daddy did a bang up job this year for the anniversary! He brought mommy a bouquet of beautiful roses, a big bin of new bath towels, kitchen towels and arranged for an evening out at a fancy restaurant- WAY TO GO DADDY!



He even arranged for me to stay at home with my Aunt Steph who takes care of me when mommy and daddy are busy. So daddy, when you read this, we send you a big hug and thanks again for a great second anniversary.



P.S. Mommy says it will be hard to top- so you better start planning for next year ;o)
