Happy Halloween!

Yeah, so I'm a little late on this. Forgive me. I'm only 18 months old afterall.

So Halloween was fantastic. I ended up really liking my costume (which made Mama really happy). I got to go visit Daddy at work, but I was kinda scared because he had this red stuff all over his outfit and his face. He told me it was juice, but I'm not sure if I believe him. Then I went to pick up my Mimi, and she came with Mama and I to Ruby June's house. It was a girl explosion there with me, Ruby June, Presley, Baby Caroline and Baby Lucy. It was craziness. All the big girls got dressed up and ready to go out (after they made us sit still for like 400 pictures of course) then we all headed down to Edmonds to go trick-or-treating downtown. The closed all the streets so we didn't have to worry about cars and all the businesses gave us candy. It was awesome. I think every other person I saw on the street said that I had the best costume of the whole night. Some people even asked Mama if they could take a picture of me because I was so adorable. It was fun. There were a ton of people and I walked too much so I was exhausted. Then Daddy joined us for dinner, and we headed up to Eric and Renee's to visit them. They loved my costume too, but I was afraid of all the people in makeup. I danced in the kitchen so I felt better. Then I came home and fell asleep. It was a rather eventful night, and Mama hasn't even let me eat any of my candy yet. She says I'm too young. I think I'll come out here tonight and eat it all while she's asleep. I only have to figure out how to get out of my crib without her noticing, open the door (which I don't know how to do yet), and climb up on the counter to get the candy. This might take some more thoughtful planning.

Check my photo website for Halloween pictures soon. Or whenever Mama actually puts them up there, which might take a while.

Almost Halloween

I'm getting pretty excited about Halloween. One thing I am not excited about though is wearing my costume. Mama finished it a few days ago, and every time she takes it out to try it on I run away screaming. When she finally gets it on me I just stand there and cry until she takes it off. Apparently she thinks if she puts it on me every day for a few minutes I will eventually get used to it and not cry when I wear it on Halloween. I'll show her. She hasn't seen anything yet.

Pictures and Pumpkins

Mama finally posted the pictures. athenaluccio.myphotoalbum.com if you're interested. They're pretty darn cute.

Also, we carved pumpkins yesterday and it was great. OK, so I didn't actually do any carving, but Mama found me some faces for my pumpkin that are kinda like Mr. Potato Head. I had a blast making my Picasso pumpkin. Mama and Daddy's pumpkins turned out pretty cool too. Mimi's pumpkin has the cutest spider on it; I think it's my favorite. I had a great time playing at Mimi's house with Uncle Jared and Lola. Uncle Jared even pulled me all around the house in a wagon. It was awesome.

On behalf of my Mama

Daddy took the laptop to play video games with Uncle Jared, so she can't put the pictures on the website. She wanted me to let everyone know so that you all knew she didn't forget. I'm off to sleep now (except that I've really been asleep for 3 hours, but no one needs to know that).

Pumpkins Everywhere!!!!

So, this week the folks and I went down the old pumpkin patch. Actually it's a new one that we hadn't been to before, but I digress. It was flippin' awesome! I got to ride in the wheelbarrow and pick my own pumpkin and see some animals and run around in the mud and try to lift really heavy pumpkins and....and...I think that's it actually. Mama took lots of pictures, but she's lazy and hasn't put them on my photo website yet. I'll make her do it tonight. No sleep until the pictures are up. Who's with me?

Oh, by the way, my friend Ruby June has a new baby sister. I got to go see her when she was one day old, and she was fantastic. I got to sit next to her and check her out while she was waking up. She makes funny faces and I think she's cute.

Also, I have officially learned how to talk. Ok, so I can't say sentences or all words or anything yet but I can copy Mama and Daddy almost all the time. My favorite words are more (usually referring to food), up, night-night, draw, book, banana (which really means any kind of fruit), cracker, and no. Sometimes I say OK, but it's pretty rare. Usually I just say no whether I mean no or yes. Talking is hard, and I haven't quite figured it all out yet. I also can't wait for it to snow. Mama bought me some snow bibs because they were on sale and I spend all day trying to put them on and buckle them. I've even started saying buckle when I'm talking about them. Mama says it's pretty funny, but I think I'm just learning. Learning isn't funny, it's hard work. Overall life is pretty good. Although I would like a puppy to play with....
