Instead of going shopping on Black Friday, my parents took me and my cousin, Megan, to the Cleveland Metroparks Rainforest. It was so much fun. Not too many people were there so we were able to take our time looking at all the nice animals.
Here is Megan and I by the waterfall at the front entrance! 
Afterwards, Megan came over for dinner and we relaxed together. It was a fun day together!
Today I turned 1 years old! We had a small party with a few of my friends and family. It was exciting. My Mom and Grandma Cootie made soups and sandwiches for everyone. Afterlunch, my dad gave me this tasty treat. The yellow inside part was okay, but the frosting was the best. I eventually licked all of it off! I can't wait for another birthday!
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.
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.
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. 
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. 
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!
