Happy Halloween!

"It's Hard to Be Brave When You're So Very, Very Small"

Daddy got to pick out my Halloween costume this year. It was so big on me but that worked out well since it was chilly out and I got to cover my hands and feet with Piglet’s hands and feet. Mommy had gone to work that day and her group was doing a “Pajama Party” so she got to stay in her PJ’s all day long and even wore them out trick or treating with me. Mommy, Aunt Mary and Sister-Cousin Morgan went trick or treating with me in our neighborhood. Everyone thought I was so cute! I sat in the stroller and about half-way through fell asleep. Mommy wouldn’t let me get much candy this year – but I guess that’s okay since I can’t eat it anyways and Mommy says, “that her and daddy don’t need it either.”

My First MagFest (a.k.a., “Hippiefest”)

We went camping up in North Florida and I got to experience the outdoors and sleeping in a tent for the first time. Thursday Night, all day Friday, and Saturday morning it just rained which was not any fun. But, I did get out of the tent to see some of the music and meet new friends.

Saturday morning though the sun came thru the clouds and everyone cheered for joy. There was lots of music, which I always enjoy. I didn’t want to sleep because I didn’t want to miss anything. On Saturday night, I outlasted all the other kids and stayed up by the campfire to almost 2:00am kicking to the music and listening to the drums at camp.

Camping wasn’t the only experience of this weekend though. My first tooth finally broke through the gums on Thursday night. I sucked on Mommy's knuckle like I’d been doing the last month or so and I hurt her by accident. My tooth is so sharp but it let Mommy and daddy know that it was finally here. I also pulled myself up to standing on Saturday afternoon for the first time. I was sitting in front of daddy in the meadow and grabbed his shirt so I could stand like I wanted to do.

What a fun experience! I can’t wait to go camping again next year.

Stone Mountain Highland Games

We’re traveling again this month and I got to take my first airplane flight to Atlanta, Georgia (where I was born.) I slept for the first part of the flight and when I woke up was just full of fun and giggles. I then spent the next day at the Highland Games where passers-by would just stop to take my picture in my kilt. As usual, I hammed it up for the camera. I enjoy hearing the bagpipes and always smile when they start up. It must be my Celtic roots.
At the end of the day, I got to see my birthmom again. I think she couldn’t believe how big I have gotten. When she saw me last I was an itty-bitty baby girl and “oh how I’ve grown.” I definitely have her eyes and the fair skin of both her and my birthdad. I know how happy she has made my Mommy and Daddy and also how happy I am with my life.

What a wonderful weekend!

First Time in the Atlantic Ocean

We stayed at this beautiful resort on the Palm Coast of Florida and it was right by the Atlantic Ocean. I got to dip my feet into the water and have the waves come up to me. The texture of the sand was so different from what I’ve felt before. I can’t wait to be old enough to body surf and build sand-castles.

I was so worn out from the night before that the sound of the waves just put me right to sleep.

Dancing the Night Away!

We went to a surprise birthday party for Daddy’s cousin over on the Palm Coast of Florida. I was having so much fun kicking and stomping my feet to the music that Mommy took me out on the dance floor.

I didn’t stop moving the entire time until I finally just wore myself out and fell asleep in Grandma’s arms. What a Blast!
