Merry Christmas To All and To All a Good Night!

I hope that Santa catches you being good this year. You know he's always watching... So, be good for goodness sakes! I hope that you and your family have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! I am thankful for all of you: my friends and family and don't want you to forget the true reason for the season! Merry Christmas!

Giving Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving! I had my very first Thanksgiving this week. I tried to convince Mom and Dad to give me some turkey, but instead they gave me milk and rice cereal again. It was fun though. We had Grandma and Grandpa Fuller, Uncle Caleb, and Great Grandma and Grandpa over for breakfast in the morning. In the afternoon, we went to Hamilton to Uncle Scott and Aunt Sarah's house for dinner with more family.

At Uncle Scott and Aunt Sarah's, I got to meet my one and only Great Great Grandma. Boy that is a lot of greats. I got to hang out with her for a while. I had fun, as you can see from my smirk.








On Saturday, I helped Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Caleb, Uncle Chad and Aunt Michelle and their dog Stewart pick out their Christmas Tree. We found two great trees for them. I can't wait to see my very first Christmas Tree all decorated. If you can't find me, I'm the little pink bundle hidding behind Dad. It was cold outside so Mom dressed me so warm, I could hardly move my arms.

A whole lot of firsts!

Sunday was a big and exciting day. I was baptized at church! Here Rev. Tom is baptizing me while Mom and Dad watch. Mom and Dad told me that I did really well! Plus, I looked so cute in my white dress with my pretty pink sweater that Grandma Lepard made me!

After the big baptizm, my whole family on both Mom and Dad's side came over to Grandma and Grandpa Lepard's house for a party! Here I am in my first picture with all of my cousins. We fill up a whole couch!

Boy oh Boy! This rice cereal stuff does not taste good. I know it's supposed to help my tummy, but I'm not so sure I'm ready to give up milk for this paste they are making me eat! How about a nice big bowl of paper mache paste..... anyone? Now you know how I feel!:)

Happy Halloween!

What a special treat! I got to go Trick-or-Treating with my cousins Madeline the maker and Parker the fireman. It was so much fun! We walked downtown Grand Haven and the bigger kids got to get candy from all the stores. Everyone thought I was the cutest lobster they had ever seen!

After being downtown, I got to see Grandma and Grandpa Fuller. Then, we went home to pass out candy to all the little kids in our neighborhood. Later, Grandma and Grandpa Lepard came over to see me in my costume. It was a busy day! It's tough being a lobster, although sometimes my parents thought I was a crab.

Oh, and did you know that by day my dad is an engineer and by night..... you guessed it! A sumo wrestler! What a silly daddy I have! :) He makes me laugh!

Little Punkin'

Here I sit in a carved-out pumpkin just to humor my mother! This is what happens when your mom likes to take pictures. Well, at least she didn't make me wear the stem on my head, although I'm sure she thought about it! :) Have a Happy Halloween!!!!

Play Date

Today I visited my good friend Will. He was making me smile! I found out that he likes to soak his mom in spit-up just like I do! Here we are snuggling on the couch together! Don't we make a cute little couple?

This and That

I finally surrendered and took a nap! Mom and I went for a walk and ran some errands. We went to the library to find more board books because I just can't seem to get enough of them! I am already getting closer to reading. When I look at the pictures, I look from left to right! Mom and Dad think I'm so smart! And, as you can see, I love riding in my stroller. It is so cozy!

Here is a sneak peek at what I am going to be for Halloween. Can you guess?

Exploring the Up North!

This weekend I traveled up to Traverse City with my mom and dad. Up there, we met up with Grandma and Grandpa Fuller, Uncle Chad and Aunt Michelle, and Uncle Caleb. It was so much fun! I rolled over for my very first time this weekend. Boy, was that hard work. We went to a pumpkin patch and I picked out my very own pumpkin! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the perfectly round pumpkin.

Here is my first experience with a John Deere. I've never seen one like this before.

We all stayed at a neat little cabin just outside of Traverse City. It was on Cedar Lake. The colors were pretty and the air was crisp! We had a great time. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Fuller for the fun weekend!

And, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Lepard for watching my four-legged, furry friend!

My First Vacation

This was my very first weekend away! I went to see my "cheek-pinching" cousin, Macabe. We had so much fun! We rode trikes, went through a corn maze and rode side-by-side in our car seats. That cousin really makes me giggle.
