First Halloween

For my first Halloween we went over to my mom's friend's house, Janet. It was a lot of fun trick-or-treating with her kids Kyra, Riley and Jacob. I didn't really understand the whole trick-or-treat thing and why we went down the street stopping at each house to say hi, but my parent's sure were excited. They had a bag full of interesting little packages at the end of the night. My mom let me taste a sucker. I LOVE THEM!

Here I am with my Grandma Cootie after trick-or-treating. She stayed at the house to pass out candy to the other trick-or-treaters.

I was a beautiful flower for Halloween! I was glad that it kept me so warm since it was chilly out.

GFF Halloween

Tonight we had the GFF Halloween dinner and dance. It was a lot of fun. I loved seeing everyone in the costumes.

Here I am with my Godmother, Carol. She was The Cat In The Hat from Dr. Seuss. At first she scared me, because I didn't recognize her. Once I knew it was her I was okay.

Here I am dancing with my mom. It was fun standing on the stage so I could see everyone dance.

Walking

I haven't quite figured out this walking thing, but I sure love to walk behind my walker. My parents don't let me play with this very often. Something about a crutch, but I am not sure what that means. Anyway, my mom and I had a pajama day today and she let me play with the walker for a little while.

I LOVE IT!

3rd Annual Kuder Halloween

Today was the Third Annual Kuder Halloween Party. It was so cold, but I was sure glad I had this warm costume on. I wasn't sure what was happpening, but I had a bucket and people kept putting things in it. I didn't complain! One of the items was this fancy remote control. I loved it!

Here I am checking out my remote some more.

Here are my second cousins, Paige and Jennifer. They are carving their pumpkins for the lighting ceremony. It was so cold this year that we had to have the lighting ceremony inside the barn instead of by the fire pit outside.

Here is my Grandma Cootie and Great Aunt Denise carving their pumpkins too. This is the best part of the annual event.

Carlisle Halloween Fair

Tonight my mom and dad took me to the Carlisle Halloween Fair. It was so much fun! We went with Mr. Joe, Miss Liz and Mayve. Mayve is one of my dear friends. There was a bubble machine that made so many bubbles all at once. I had my face painted as a cat at the face painting station and we watched a juggler juggle some shart knives. After all that, we went on the Halloween walk.

While on the walk we saw some scary skeletons and monsters.

There was also a pond full of jack-o-lanterns!

...and more skeletons!

We also ran into my cousin Megan, Aunt Marcy, Grandma Menges and Grandpa Menges while we were there. That was a fun surprise!

Work

Today I went to work with my mom for the day. I wasn't too sure about this adventure at first, but once I got used to my surroundings I had a good time. I really liked my mom's file cart. She took me for some rides around the office. I made sure to say hello to everyone as I passed by.

Here I am checking out my mom's cart. Let's go for another ride! YEAH!

I really liked the copy room. We copied some papers together and I helped her mail out some letters.

Okay...so I made more of a mess than helped, but it was still a lot of fun anyway.

All-in-all it was a good day. We took a walk down to Tower City to have lunch with my mom's cousin, Susan. It was great to see her and to get out of the office for a minute. When we came back I was so exhausted and decided to take a nap for a while. My mom was relieved about that...and so was everyone else in the Office. My mom's co-worker, Pamela, gave me this great new Care Bear. He is called "Superstar Bear" and my eyes just lit up when she handed him to me. Thank you so much Pamela...I love him like crazy. I can't wait to be able to spend another day with my mom at her work!

Happy Birthday Chris!

I went to Dave and Busters with my mom and dad. There was a birthday party there for Chris who my mom works with. We were celebrating her 60th birthday! It was a lot of fun. My dad and I were being silly....like usual. He put this napkin on my head. Something about an Aunt Jemima...I don't know who that is, but I did think it was funny having this napkin on my head! After dinner we walked around this really noisy room. I didn't know what to make of it, but I liked all the lights flashing. I sat in front of this one machine that was really loud and had some music blasting from it. I just loved dancing to the music! It was a great time!

Winking Lizard

I went to the Winking Lizard tonight with my mom and dad. We had dinner there with some people from my mom's work. Here I am with my friend Adriana. My mom works with her dad, Britt! I really wanted to show Adriana my crawling skills, but we were confined to chairs and my highchair because my mom said the floor is nasty. It was SO frustrating, but I did pretty good sitting the whole time!

Here is Miss Kate with her new baby Xander. He is just under a month old. I thought it was funny seeing such a small baby. The babies at day care aren't that small. I didn't know what to think when I saw my mommy holding him though.

Doctor

Elizabeth has said the word Doctor! I know that you probably think I am a crazy mother that is hearing things, but it is true. We have many people who have witnessed this great occurrance! As far as I am concerned, her first "real" word is Doctor!

Happy Birthday Megan

Here I am with my cousin Megan. She turns 8 on October 6th and we went to Pump-It-Up for her birthday party. It was so much fun! They had all these big cushy bouncy houses to play in and a really big slide too! It was so much fun.

Here we are going downt the big slide together. I thought it was hilarious!
