My First Halloween!

I think Halloween started early this year. At least it did in my house! It seems like mommy had me dressed in that darn costume just about every day in October. Boy am I glad to be done with that thing. Anyway, here are some highlights from my first Halloween.

Me and our pumpkins.

Me and my kitty. Isn't he scary looking? I think he could eat me!

Me and my cousin Superman (it's really Mike-Mike).

Me and the babies from birthing class. You guessed it, I'm the one in the lamb outfit.

Me with some of mommy's class from last year. I got to go see the parade at mommy's work!

Me and Mrs. Seeler. She works at mommy's school.

Me and the neighborhood kids on Halloween.

Our pumpkins this year. Daddy carved mine- it's the little one!

Even though I got pretty tired of wearing my costume, Halloween was a lot of fun. Our house was all lit up and I loved staring at the colored lights. I even went to some of the neighbors' houses and got some candy. Mom and dad wouldn't let me eat any of it though. Maybe next year!

Drew's Baptism

My buddy Drew was baptized into the church today. I was so honored to be there as his friend! When the water was poured over his head, he thought it was bathtime. He loved it! I'm not so sure I will be as good of a sport when it's my turn.

Here we are together. Me and Drew are like peas and carrots.

More Candids

Here are just a few photos of the hundreds that mom and dad (and Grammy) have been taking of me. I'm becoming quite used to the camera!

Here's my million dollar smile!

I'm starting to enjoy bathtime a little bit more.

Mommy and Me

Me and Mommy spend most of the day together. We talk, play, go for walks, do housework, and take road trips. Then we wait for Daddy to come home from work.

Here we are in our "diva" shirts.

Me and Mommy have so much fun that we're worn out by the end of the day!

Rabbit or Lamb?

Grammy Crane and Mommy went out and found me this ridiculous costume for my first Halloween. It's supposed to be a lamb to match my nursery, but I think I look more like a rabbit. I still have a week to convince them that I really want to be a princess or ballerina. It could be worse...

Drew is a pea in the pod.

Aren't we silly?
Okay, I've had it!

How I Pass the Time at 6 Weeks Old

Now that I'm six weeks old, life has become a lot busier. As you can see, I still maintain a hectic social schedule. When I'm not showing off for visitors, I spend my time impressing Mommy and Daddy at home. I entertain them by sucking on my fingers, making adorable little noises, smiling at them (they love that!), and I have even rolled over onto my back a few times. I've got a lot of other tricks up my sleeve for the next few weeks.

Toledo, Again?

Just a few days after Mommy and I left, the three of us headed back to Toledo for my cousin Jack's birthday party. Something tells me we are going to be spending a lot of time there. While I was there, I got to see a lot of people!

Mike and Merry Cook
Here is Jack in the tractor he got for his birthday. I wanted a ride, but Mommy said I was too small. Jack gave my cousin Drew a ride instead. I can't wait until I have a birthday!

My First Trip to T-Town

Mom and Dad loaded up the car and took me on my first trip to Toledo for the weekend. We stayed at Grammy and Grandpa Crane's for the weekend. I met my first doggy (Molly) and my first Turk (Tolga, Aunt Mel's boyfriend).

I also met my Nan-Nan (that means great-grandma) for the first time. She loved me! Mommy and I ended up staying for a few extra days. I guess everyone just couldn't get enough of me!

My First Babysitters

I got tired of just being with Mommy and Daddy all the time, so I sent them off to the Blue Jackets game and asked Marissa and Bill if they would come over and hang out with me. I think Mommy and Daddy did okay without me. Mommy only called a few times.

There's been a lot of requests...ya gotta give the people what they want.
