Auntie Kara Comes to Visit

2011-11-21

This week we had lots of fun. Mommy and I played during the day, Daddy and I played at night, and Auntie Kara came to stay for a few days. And I got another tooth! One of my top teeth came in! I also stood up a few more times - and failed a few times, as you'll learn below.

Playing with my LEGO bricks.

Daddy, don't eat my fingers.

Mommy moved my train table up to the dining room, which is my new play area. Mommy says I'm not big enough to play with the trains yet, but I can play with the table.

I am slowly taking over the house, one room at a time.

On Thursday, Auntie Kara came to visit us. While she was here, we went shopping. I like to ride in the cart! And there is so much to see at the store!

(In the cool new sweater Auntie Kara brought me - thanks Auntie Kara!)

Trying on a new hat.

And another new hat.

We play with my LEGOs every day. Sometimes I have to wait for Mommy and Daddy to finish playing with them so I can have a turn.

Hey! I can see you over there!

Are you taking my picture?

We went out to eat on Thursday night. That was fun. The table next to us was having a birthday party and they had these bright shining things that floated in the air. Daddy said they were balloons. I'm going to get me some of those.

Out with Daddy and Mommy and Auntie Kara for supper.

Auntie Kara helped us out by taking a turn feeding me...

Lunch time with Auntie Kara!

...and she helped give me a bath!

Why am I sitting on the table?

Flyer!

Here's a picture of my puppy. He's a good boy. He doesn't like not having the run of the house now that I am crawling.

Duke.

On Saturday we went to the Historical Society to look around at craft show. There was a really cool fire engine in the entrance - so we took a picture.

On Sunday night I fell down a few times. The first time I was trying to stand up using the chair and I pulled the chair over. The second time I was trying it again, but Daddy caught the chair (and me) before we hit the floor. The third time, my hand slipped, I banged my head on the chair and cut my finger with my new top tooth - Mommy got a little freaked out when she saw blood on my face. I had a bump on my head, too. I'm okay now, though. I was playing with Mommy and Daddy again a few minutes later.

OUCH!

That's all for this week. Next week is my first Thanksgiving! Have a good holiday weekend!
