Halloween 2012

I had a super fun halloween!
I went as an orca/whale/Shamu - whatever you call it.
We met over at my friend Cole's house and later I played at my friend Fletcher's house.
Here's my costume:

 

Ready to go!
 
Here's a few of us that went trick-or-treating together:

A football player, Scooby, Daphne (in the Mystery Machine), Elvis and me!

 
We had a good time! The first house I went up to, I had to push the doorbell about 5 times ('cause that's what I do at home to drive Sadie nuts). When they opened the door, I tried to put candy from my bag and put it in their bucket. Then I saw a dog in the house come down the stairs and I was over the candy & just wanted to see the dog, so I just started walking right in. Luckily Dad was with me and told me what to do (or not do)! Ha! After a few houses I finally got the hang of it... I was whispering "Trick or Treat" and usually always remembered to say "Thank You" afterwards. After a while of walking around the neighborhood, I started slowing down. Daddy asked, "Beck, are you getting tired?" and I nodded my head. He then said, "Are you ready to go back home?" I looked up at him and said, "No Dad!" We walked a bit more...and found a haunted garage that Daddy tried to bring me in, but I was scared and later went to play at Fletcher's house for a little while. Boy, was I tired when I got home. I went to bed and fell right asleep without even a bite of candy! Whew!

 

Here's a few more pictures:

 

 

I LOVED playing with the glow sticks!

That's all!!



October 2012

I've had a great October! Mommy checked some books out from the library - all had to do with fall, leaves, apple picking & pumpkin patches. I loved learning about them! Even as we drove around, I would point out the color of the leaves on the trees. I also like to tell you the color of the stoplights - "Green means go...Red means stop" as I often say.

I'm still working on the potty thing, but I'm having less wet diapers. I've also had this nasty nighttime cough that I can't seem to get rid of. It doesn't bother me when I'm playing during the day though. I also got to go with Mommy & Daddy to the baby doctor this month. We found out I'm going to have a sister! I've been saying sister all along. Well, except for when the technician asked me...I said boy. Oops! I'm so excited! 

Gramma & Papa (from the farm) came to visit me this month. I had a great time playing with them! We went to Deanna Rose Farm to feed the animals and I took them to my favorite place to eat - Fritz' Railroad Restaurant! I also got some one-on-one time with them when Mommy & Daddy went out on Saturday night.

Here's a few pics from our fun day!

Then Aunt Molly came for almost a week to watch me during Daddy's conferences. This started as a tradition 2 years ago and I have a blast every time! She took me to Penguin Park to play, we went for walks and played with my choo choos. Oh, and my favorite was that she brought me all these cool animals to play with - cows, pigs, sheep, goats, duck, chickens, and lots more!!! I had soooo much fun with them!!!

Penguin Park

I kept on yelling to the other kids, "Come on! All aboard!" 

We stopped for a snack break 

Then ran around some more! 

 

We had some great weather to take some walks

(or a nap in my case)

Here are the animals she brought me.

I LOVE PLAYING WITH THEM!!

We went to a pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins to carve.

We also got Mommy this pretty mum. 

 

I lined up the wagons just like I do with my cars at home. 

 

We made some crafts!

And played in the leaves! 

 

 

 

We finally got a chance to carve our pumpkins

before Aunt Molly had to head back home!

 

 

Here they all are!!

Happy Halloween!!!



Surprise! It's a ... Watch video to find out!

September 2012

I started the month out with a big boy bed!! Daddy took the side of the crib off and I LOVE that I can get in and out all by myself! I've only gotten up once in the middle of the night, but there was a thunderstorm so I had a good excuse! Mommy says I shouldn't get up in the morning if it's still dark out, but some days I just can't help it!

I've also been going potty on the little toilet. I've been going once or twice each night for Mommy & Daddy. I get SOOO excited when I go! And I get a sticker if I do! I have a whole routine that I'll tell you... First, I go potty; then Mommy or Daddy dumps it in the big toilet and I get to flush; then I wash my hands, get a new diaper and a STICKER!! I've even gone a couple times at the babysitter! I get car stickers there!! Yay!!

We went to watch the Royals play again with our friend, Megan.

I had a good time, but it was a VERY long game!

I wanted to see the fireworks after the game, so we stayed 'til the end.

It was a LATE, LATE night for me!

I got to ride the carousel again... 

and got on the jumbo-tron (AGAIN)!!! 

This time with Mommy & Megan 

We started out in seats that were way, way high...

 

Then walked around a bit...

and ran into Slugger!

I wasn't much of a fan of his

(can you tell?) 

We watched the rest of the game by the bull pen where

I had a great time watching the pitchers warm up.

Daddy even got me a ball at the end of the game!

(This time a REAL ball!)

I was sooooo excited!!

I wouldn't let go of it the whole next day!

See it?!!

Last weekend we went to Liberty's Fall Festival.

I had a great time seeing all the pumpkins!

We also went to the parade on Saturday morning.

It was a really, really, really long parade so we didn't stay for the entire thing.

But I had a great time seeing all the trucks, tractors, cars and firetrucks!!

And I got some candy :) 

And yes, this is still my "cheese" face!!
