Thanksgiving and other stuff

Wow, Thanksgiving is AWESOME. I don't remember it much from last year, but this year I had turkey, and stuffing, and mashed potatoes, and peas, and pie, and whipped cream, and then I had it all again the very next day!!! This is some incredible stuff. Why don't we do this EVERY weekend??

We went to Aunt Erin's at UVA, and I went for a walkabout on the Lawn (how that is different from my lawn, I have yet to understand) with Pop-pop. Here's a picture:

We also went to Aunt Kim's and saw all the Wrights and Sebrells. It was a lot of fun - and more Thanksgiving dinner. I have my first really bad cold now, but it isn't bothering me too much. I'm just letting my coughs come out and my nose run. It snowed at home this week too - we got about 4 inches (Mommy says so) but I haven't gone out to play in it yet. Something about getting too cold and it being bad for me. I hope it's still snowy tomorrow so Mommy and Daddy can take me out on the sled???

Halloween

We went to a pumpkin-carving party, and I discovered piles of leaves!

How adorable am I in my Yoda costume? ( I know - TOO adorable).

I learned how to climb into my chair - which was my mommy's chair when she was little (as well as a chair for my aunties and uncle joe!)

the two BIGGEST things I learned...

I learned how to walk...

and I turned ONE!!!

I'm One! And Mommy is a terrible blogger

Excuses, excuses. I can't wait until I'm big enough to post my own messages. It's been soooooo long. Here's pictures of all the things I've been doing since JULY 5 (Mommy, you'd better get better at this!!!)...

I learned how to cook...

I learned how to drive...

I learned how to sleep...anywhere!

I hung out with my cousins (and big brother)...

and I paid attention during Connor's therapy...

But most importantly... (see next posting!)

PASTABILITIES!!!

Earlier this week, Daddy decided to let me play with a cooked piece of linguini. This is the only evidence of the historic meeting of baby and pasta, taken with Mommy's phone camera, which is why the quality of the photos is so bad. (You can also see the UFO and Sasquatch in the background thanks to the AWESOMENESS of the camera.)

my first Fourth!

Here are some photos of me (and Connor, too) from my first Fourth of July!

I have learned to smile for the camera! The pool is yummy!
Connor is yummy!
This is my favorite blanket. Mommy and Daddy call is my wooby. Is that really a word? (p.s. that's me underneath it...)

Nine Months already!

I'm crawling so fast now! I'm also pulling up and trying to walk around things. I have so much fun every day, and sleep like a charm every night. Being a baby is pretty cool. Here are some recent photos of me:
