My First Turkey Day!

Here I am, all dressed up for my very first Thanksgiving. My family came over and ate A LOT of food. They have lots to be thankful for this year, especially ME!

This year we thought it would be fun to make placecards out of my handprints.

Nan and my cousin Drew came to celebrate Thanksgiving with me, along with Jack, Aunt Trish, Aunt Mel, Uncle Aaron, Tolga, Grampa, and Grammy and Grandpa Crane. Check out my bib!
All in all, it was a great day to spend with my family. We were all pretty tired after eating all that turkey!

Kissin' Cousins

This weekend I met my cousin Sophia for the first time! She is about 6 weeks older than me and she lives in Colorado. We've got to stick together because we are the only two girl cousins.

Here we are in our matching dresses!

I also watched my boy cousins play. They are crazy! Sophie and I can't wait until we're old enough to run around with them.

O-H....I-O!!!

I am told that tomorrow is the biggest football game in my life, Ohio State vs. Michigan. I'm too young to understand what all the fuss is about. All I know is Mommy and Daddy have been carting me around in my OSU cheerleading outfit all week long.

Unfortunately, my buddy Drew and his family are Michigan fans. That's okay Drew, we can still be friends!
Drew looks worried. I'd be worried about the game too if I were a Michigan fan!

That's better!

Even in my sleep, I know that Ohio State is number one. Go Bucks! Beat Michigan!!!

My Baptism

Today was a very special day for me. I was baptized into the church! I am so happy to be a member of God's family now. Mommy and Daddy were very proud.

Wow! That water was cold, but I didn't cry.

Here are my godparents Marissa (mommy's cousin) and Aaron (mommy's brother-in-law).

Quite a crowd gathered to watch me get baptized! Here are all of the Crane's that "migrated" to Columbus.

Here is Mommy's side of the family.

Mommy and Daddy's friends came too. My buddy Drew was there, of course!

Grammy Shelley and my Aunts came all the way from Michigan!

I got all dressed up for the occasion. My Nan and Grandma Crane bought me my beautiful dress and Karla from Mommy's work knitted my blanket. Aren't I just a sight!

It was such a special day! I am so lucky to have so many wonderful people who love me!

Two Months Old!

Hard to believe I'm already in my third month of life since I was born! Time sure flies when you're out in the world. I've changed so much since birth. I am awake a lot more, which leaves me time to talk, make faces, and smile. I'm still working on laughing. I hold my head up and can prop myself up when I'm on my belly. Some things have not changed so much. One of my favorite activities is still being in my swing, and I still have a very healthy appetite (just like mommy). Here I am enjoying the fall weather.

I recently learned that there is one bad thing about being two months old - SHOTS! I had to get some shots at the doctor and I did not like them one bit. I screamed a little and then was fine, but I don't want shots ever again. I did find out that I am now 13 pounds, which is a lot for my age. I told you I could eat!
