Thanksgiving at Nana and Papa's

Before we headed up to Virginia for Thanksgiving we had Thanksgiving at Nana and Papa's house. I tried turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. I loved it all!I got to play with my great grandparents, Pappy and Nana. I really wanted Pappy's hat!

Nana and Papa have lots of fun toys for Gabe and I to play with. We had a blast!

I love my new monkey from Nana and Papa! He sleeps with me every night now.

I was really trying to pull up to see what was in the toy bucket. Maybe next time we visit I can make it all the way!

Playing with one of the fun toys!

Playing with my spoon after dinner.

When Mommy get me up in the morning she sometimes has her glasses on, which I love to pull off of her. The other morning she let me try them on. Don't I look smart?

Grandaddy and Suzanne came over to play with me last week. Grandaddy built me some great towers to knock down!!

When Mommy is cooking she lets me play with the tupperware. Now I know which cabinet it is in and I love to crawl over to it and pull everything out!

The DSL connection in the study just looks like it was put there for me to pull on. Whenever I'm in the study I make a beeline for it and Mommy and Daddy say "No, Anna." Sometimes that stops me, but most of the time I just can't resist. You'd think that they would get smart and put something in front of it!

Learning to Stand

If someone stands me up against the couch I can stay that way all by myself for about 10 seconds. That may not sound like a long time, but it sure feels like it to me! By the way, although it looks like Mack is being a sweet boy and cheering me on, he is just trying to eat the left over breakfast off of my sleeve. I have a habit of wiping my mouth with my sleeve while I'm eating. It makes quite a mess sometimes!

Last Saturday we went over to the Vorreiter's to watch the Georgia-Auburn game. Can you tell which team I was rooting for? My buddy Davis was there. He's really growing fast! Here are a few pictures of Davis and I.

Checkin' Davis out.

I really wanted Davis' sock!

Davis had just woken up from a snooze. I bet he was wondering why I was trying to take his sock off!

He's so cute, I just want to squeeze him!

Crazy Hair

Now that I have a little more hair it can get pretty crazy! Of course, Mommy has to take pictures. That's fine for now, but I hope that she knows that when I get a little older I am not going to appreciate it if she takes a picture every time I have a bad hair day!

Can you tell which side of my head I was sleeping on? (I am really not going to like it if she takes pictures of my hair when I first wake up!)

One day it was kind of chilly when we went for a walk so I had to wear my hat. When we took the hat off this is what my hair looked like. Woah!

Please come down!

Sophie is still not so sure about me. Mommy and Daddy say that I might be scared too if somone came towards me making the kind of noises that I make when I see Sophie. I just get so excited!

Enjoying the View

I love to look out our sliding glass door and see what's going on outside.

Partners in Crime

Sometimes when Mack is having a touble behaving himself (mostly stealing my toys and licking me) he has to have a little time out in his cage. I really feel sorry for him when this happens, so I have learned to open his cage and set him free! The first time it happened Mommy thought that I just accidentally opened it. I've proven several times though that it is no accident. I know exactly what I'm doing!

9 Month Update

Hi everyone! Last Thursday I turned 9 months old! Can you believe it?? Only 3 more months until it's party time!! I went to the doctor for my check up and weighed in at 23 lbs. 2 oz. and was 30 inches tall. This puts me in the 97th percentile for both height and weight. Wow! The doctor said that everything looks great and hopefully I won't have to go back until my 1 year check up!

Happy Halloween!

I was so engrossed in Baby Einstein when Mommy put my costume on me that I didn't even notice that I was suddenly a pumpkin! Mack noticed though. I think that he felt sorry for me, becuase he came right over and laid his head down on my foot. What a sweet guy! Little did he know what was ahead of him...

We didn't want him to feel left out, so Mack got to be a pumpkin too!

Poor Mack really did not like his costume. We decided to compromise and let him take the little hat off.

What's that I see??

Now this is what Halloween is really all about!

Mack getting in on the good stuff too!

Runaway pumpkin!!!

Wiggle Worm

Mommy tried really hard to get a good picture of me in this cute outfit that Mr. and Mrs. Sledd gave me. Unfortunately, I was not in the mood to sit still and this is the best that she could do. Maybe next time we'll get a better shot!

Big Canoe- Part 2

Last weekend we went to Big Canoe again. This time we went with Mommy and Daddy's friends and my buddy Davis. I had a great time crawling around and playing with Davis. Can you believe that this time next year we'll both be toddling around?!?
Davis' swing brought back great memories for me. I just couldn't stay away from it, especially when Davis was in it! Davis didn't seem to appreciate it too much when I grabbed it and made it stop swinging (first picture). Can you see how he's trying to kick my hand away?

Davis and I did a little preview of our Halloween costumes. Aren't we the cutest produce that you ever saw?!?
