Farmers Market Sunday and Mother's Beach

We woke up this morning and it was RAINING. You sure wouldn't know it by the way we spent the rest of our day once the sun came out. We skipped Mommy and Me time at the pier and opted to go straight to the Farmers' Market. Instead of pony rides, I spent a bunch of time petting and feeding the animals.




Then, Mommy shared her corn on the cob with me and we all went to the park overlooking in the ocean where I go with Nanny G and Baby Grace. I did a bunch of sliding and swinging and then we headed home.
In the afternoon, I begged Mommy to take me out in my wagon and off we went. She took me to the park at Mother's Beach.



While there, I decided to do a little wading in the ocean.

More Milestones for the Month of October

New Words and Phrases: Nanny G tells Mommy that I say "Thank You", but Mommy hasn't heard it yet. If true, I now know 20 words/phrases. If not, then I am at 19. My new ones for this week are "Yummy Yummy". I said it while eating dinner at Saya's house. "Bath"....."Hello" Now, I hold a phone up to my ear and say "Hello". Doesn't quite sound like "Hello" but it is close. I know how to ask for water ("Wa-wa") so I don't have to point anymore!

Blowing Kisses: This week, I blew kisses to Mommy when she left for work. Usually I just wave and say Buh-Bye. I made Mema's day by blowing her a kiss this morning on Skype.

Blowing Bubbles: Although I can't quite blow bubbles, I now blow on the stick mimicking what Mommy and Daddy do. I think I need a little more fire power and I will get it down.

The Day After...Remodeling Fun

This morning, Mommy and I went to the pier and this is what we saw. It was a gorgeous morning.


When we got back, we had to go do some errands to make some final decisions for the remodel. First, we picked granite for the countertops. Then, we met the floor guy. Guess what? Floor guy must have been thinking of me because he suggested we meet in the parking lot of a playground!


The slide had static electricity. Check out my hair!




And, here, Mommy was making me laugh. I look like I am posing, don't I? With the hand position and all.



Last stop was at the plumbing supply store. I helped pick out faucets and tried out several bathtubs. While I was at it, I learned the word, "bath"!

Halloween Friday was a BIG and fun day. During the day, Nanny G took me for a play date with Baby Grace. I climbed and went down the slide many times. For the first time, Nanny G let me slide by myself, but what she didn't know is that I have been doing that for awhile with Mommy and Daddy. I shared a cookie with Grace and played very hard.






Before going out trick or treating, I had some dinner in my bumbo. Sometimes when I try to sit in it, I land like this. I didn't eat much because there was so much excitement about going out and I was worried about my girlish figure with all the candy I knew I was going to collect.

So, with all my worry about my figure, I started doing push-ups.


Auntie Peri arrived and we were just about ready to go out. She took a few pictures of me and Mommy while Daddy was cooking.

Taking a walk to my first house on Ocean Avenue...

First stop was at Don and Geri-Ann's house...

Problem was that I didn't recognize them and wanted to run away.

I wanted to go to Mama while Geri-Ann tried to compare wing size.

Next stop was Richard and Betty's house. Will (the dog) was dressed as a bunny.




and Gracie was dressed as a hotdog!




Then, we went to Dan's house!

Here is Mommy, me and Amy Winehouse (I mean Auntie Peri). Unfortunately, this is the only picture we got of all 3 of us. I think Auntie Peri might have some better pictures.

After 4 houses, we were tired, so we went to Mary's house for a little Trick or Treating, dinner and playing in the front yard.
Here I am with Mary, the Witch.

And, I loved greeting Trick or Treaters. If you can't tell, my feet are off the ground on the fence so I can give a proper greeting.

I even tried to pick up a little boy. I think he thought I was cute.

What a fun night!

Happy Halloween!




More pictures later :)

Happy Thursday!!


Beach at Dawn

This morning, Mommy took me to the beach early. Since we brought Camille, we decided not to go on the Venice Pier, but walked up the boardwalk. I brought my baby with me, too. It was a gorgeous morning.






Climbing



Earlier in the week, I was climbing at the park at Mother's Beach. Nanny G took me to play with a bunch of other kids who were there with their nannies.
This morning, I stopped by our new house after going with Mommy to the beach and started climbing ladders. Trouble!

Just Another Tuesday


Today, Daddy made me and Mommy a Caterpillar Omelette (takes after the concept of a Caterpillar Sushi Roll). Can you see his antennae? It was delicious!
Nanny G took me to the library today for Spanish storytime. We always have so much fun together.



Tonight, I was drinking my milk and lied down on the floor with my buddy, Mystic
