My daddy is my hero!

On October 14, my Daddy spent a long time running and we had to drive all over this island to see him.



We were in Maine (my 16th state; New Hampshire was my 15th), a very pretty place, and Mommy and I got to see lots of fun people.




I helped cheer on Daddy!




He was really excited when he was done (and tired too). Mommy said that he ran a marathon and that is 26.2 miles. Now I don't know what a mile is but is sounds like no big deal. I usually fall asleep on runs so maybe that is what Daddy should do so that he isn't so tired at the end.

Me, my flopadoodle, and the tree wiggles

The bunny friend with me in these pictures is my Flopadoodle, but you can call him Floppy. He's my buddy. Also with me in this top picture are some tree wiggles that mommy got for me. I like to watch trees, especially the wiggly parts of them. Mommy and Daddy were telling me recently that the tree wiggles are all going to fall down soon, but I'm skeptical. They're just starting to get colorful, why would they fall down now?

If the tree wiggles do fall down, I'll miss them. I like to talk to trees, and they make me smile. There's one outside of our window that I look at every morning. At least I've got my Floppy to console me if that happens.


Mommy and Daddy haven't said anything about Floppy's fur turning colors and falling out. I wonder if that will happen? Let's hope not.

A baby on the move!

I try to sit up,
Sometimes I spit up,
Sittin' ain't easy,
So prop me up, please-y.

I sit in this seat,
With dangly feet,
I bounce and I smile,
I could stay here a while.

On my blanky I wiggle,
I laugh and I giggle,
I push up, roll, and kick,
Man, I'm growing up quick!

Rice cereal sucks!

OK, I've got a scenario for you. You have to choose one of the following, which do you pick:
A. Go to the doctor and get shots. Three of them. In the leg.
B. Sit in a wet, dirty diaper all afternoon.
C. Eat a bowl of rice cereal.


The correct answer is A or B. Shots, while painful, are good for you and the alternative is far worse than the shots. Dirty diapers, while uncomfortable, can ultimately be changed. Sitting in a nasty one, at the very least, can develop one's patience. Whichever you choose, the answer is clearly not "C". Rice cereal sucks. That's the bottom line. If you chose "C" you are a sicko, and you need help.

More hats

This is my pink hat from my second cousin Paige. It keeps the sun out of my baby blues.
This is Daddy's Red Sox hat. I'll grow into it. I am just excited to see Wally at the World Series!
This is me getting ready for the chilly weather. Part pumpkin, part bumpkin, that's me.

This is how I roll

This is the first time that Bethany rolled from back to front (October 4, 2007).

I love trees!

Wishing you a happy day!
