Little helper

Mommy is making me help with the laundry already. She thinks she is pretty darn funny...

Tree farm!!!!

We bundled up and headed to the tree farm! 

And it was a little too cold to really walk the fields the whole time, so luckily my Daddy pulled Emma and I there. Damien and Hadley got carried the whole time with Mommy and Aunt Katie...lucky ducks.

We found a good one!

And then we got a ride back to the cabin from Daddy and Uncle Ken.

Beautiful success.

Oh so thankful!

Damien and I have so much to be thankful for! We had a great week celebrating and thinking and talking about it all. 

First we celebrated with a special lunch with Amy and my friends and all our moms and dads.

On Thanksgiving, we had breakfast and read our book about Stanley the Elf. Then I found him!

Silly Stanley.

 Then we watched the parade!

Daddy and I worked on some puzzles, too.

 I made sure to get in my pre-meal workout.

While Damien made sure to rest up.

We clean up well, if we do say so ourselves.

We had a family dinner over at Grandma Sue and Pop Pop's house. Which always seems to include a photo op!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Reunion!

There was a special visit set up for us to go to Karen's to meet the other new babies from our centering group. Not everyone was able to make it, but I was able to meet Grace and Levi. 

I was born first...and was the biggest of the group...not that it's obvious or anything. 

All the babies and mommies are doing great! It was a good time to hear everyone's story. 

And maybe even meet a future girlfriend.

We have a new cousin!

We went to the hospital to visit our new cousin!

 

Welcome Kingsley Alan!!

First Bottle!

Tonight was a big first-Daddy got to feed me!

I wasn't quite sure what to think in the beginning. In fact, I just got a little angry after a bit. Then I decided this milk from a bottle thing wasn't too bad after all.

Tummy time

I don't know what to think about this tummy time business. It's not terrible, but sometimes I get mad and don't like it one bit. Mommy and Daddy read to me or we listen to music. There is sometimes even a mirror for me to check out. 

And sometimes my sister, Bella, even joins in.

Sleepy little dude

It's a tough job...

...but I'm up to the challenge.

Library trip!

I have a special sticker chart. When I listen and don't have any time outs when I'm getting ready in the morning for Amy's or at night getting ready for bed, I earn a sticker. When I fill up my chart, I get a surprise from the red jar. I just earned my first surprise: a trip to the library!!!

I had fun reading books and playing with different toys and games.

Daddy and Damien napped.

Can't wait to earn my next surprise!

NEW pool!

I've got a new pool to swim in! The place that I go (Lifestrokes) built a new pool for my friends and I to go to. I got invited to a special night of swimming to help them test it out before they opened. The rooms we get changed in are bigger, and there is a special room that the moms and dads sit to watch us swim.

First we lined up for the new showers. 

Then they took us to the pool. It's really big!

 Then we swam! I got to swim with a couple of different teachers.

It was so fun! The new place and pool is quite impressive. I can't wait to go back next week!

cuddles

Life is pretty good. In the mornings I help to get big brother ready to go to Amy's house. I'm still too little to go yet. 

My big brother is pretty cool. I like him.

 However, staying home isn't too shabby.

Couch cuddles. 

 One time we visited Daddy and brought him lunch.

And then Daddy comes home, and we have more couch cuddles.

Man, just thinking about all these cozy cuddles makes me sleepy!

Bath time fun
