Kohl Children's Museum...

Yes! Mommy and I are still alive and kicking.. we realize it has been quite awhile since we have posted pictures. Mommy tells me that the computer has been 'acting up' and she hasn't been able to get on it this week to upload pictures. On October 13th, we met one of mommy's friends at the museum in Glenview. This was my second time being there but first since I have been walking. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think my favorite part was the grocery store and then at the end of the day I got to pick out a special treat from the store.. You will have to see below as to what I decided on:)......

airplanes and juice...

Today mommy and I played in the backyard after nap time since it was so nice... I love watching airplanes in the sky and I am very good at spotting them even before mommy sometimes... another thing that makes me happy is JUICE. I don't get it very often so when I do I get all excited and savor every last drop.. Today was one of those days....it's really the little things in life for me... today it was airplanes and juice!

Happy 14 months!

Today I turned 14 months.... Wow, mommy says that time is flying by and I have to agree.... I am having the time of my life these days and I'm so active!!! Today I was with daddy all day while mommy was in the city cheering on her friends running the Chicago Marathon. I had a great time with him... We went to Costco, Aldi and I helped him put away the umbrella outside on the porch.

These are a few things that I am doing now at 14 months...

I can sign these words: more, all done, please, thank-you, i love you, water, and milk.
(mommy pretty much teaches these things and I pick them up very quickly, daddy says I am a genius, mommy says I am smart... who knows??)

Some funny things I am doing are.... I run away from mommy when she tells me it is time for a diaper change or she gets out a diaper, when daddy or mommy ask me a question like "who is ready for dinner, or who is ready to go outside" I will raise my hand and get a big smile like I am saying "ME!!", I like to brush the doggies hair with mommy's hairbrush(don't tell her),I carry purses, bags, clothes, and shoes around the house and then put them in places where mommy and daddy can't find...I blow on my HOT food and I am very cute doing it, I sniff flowers and mommy's perfumes and I scrunch up my nose while doing it...

I can point to my belly button, nose, eyes, mouth, ears, hands, and toes.

I can make the sound of a doggie(woof) and cow(moo).

Well that is all I can think of right now.... Hope you enjoy a few of updates.

Happy 14 months to me.....:)

Didier Farm with mommy and daddy!

This morning mommy, daddy and I decided to go to Didier Farm so we could pick out the best pumpkins for our house this year. Didier Farm is a great little place not too far from us that has many, many pumpkins, rides, food, petting zoo, ect..... It was a really hot day and the place was crazy crowded but we still had fun. My favorite part was watching the animals but I also liked the yummy donut that mommy let me have as well as the sucker at the end of the trip... Mommy picked out a 20 pound pumpkin and I got to pick out a little one(just my size) for the house. We put them on the front porch. Hope you enjoy the pictures. I gave mommy a really hard time today and almost refused to look at her for any of them and I didn't crack a smile until we got into the car and then I couldn't stop laughing and smiling...(must have been all the sugar from the candy)!!

My first scribbles....

Today mommy and I had our music class and part of what I got to do was practice scribbling with crayons. In the past, I would just eat the crayons but today I completed my first masterpiece. Mommy was proud of me!!

Avery and mommy!!!

Today we went to another 1st birthday party and mommy and I took a really quick picture before our busy day....!!!

Long Grove Apple Festival

Today we went to Long Grove Apple Festival with our friends Christy and Carter. It was an absolute perfect fall day with beautiful weather and we had such a great time. We listened to music, had a picnic lunch and of course took lots of pictures. Mommy said I was a perfect little girl today!!! I had a first today too. I got to ride on the train without mommy. It was just Carter and I and I loved it. I also got a ballon and I picked a flower!! I carried it around with me all morning until it popped:(
