As promised!

Mom is going to pick up where we left off yesterday!

On August 26th, I took my first steps. I wasn't walking full time, but I did take 10 steps across Grammy and Pap's living room! They were so excited that Pap gave me a ride on his lawnmower. I loved it!


Then I took a few more steps in their yard towards Grammy. It looks like buying shoes for me paid off!


The hot and humid days of summer made my hair look like this.


This picture was taken the day I became a full time walker. September 11, 2008 at the age of 13 months and 5 days. I looked pretty excited about it, right?


The weather was so nice, that mom and I went somewhere pretty much every day! Like...

The park


Probably en route to Target


Daddy's work


And Grammy's work (thank heaven we showed up at recess time!)


On September 27th, Grammy's side of the family had a reunion at Hallowing Point Park. There were a lot of people and a lot of food.

Just before I convinced Joey to take a stroll with me on the soccer field


Oh look! A leaf!


Somebody forgot to wake up Woody


There we go, that's more like it!


More shenanigans with Grammy. It's best to just humor them, seriously.


Then in October, we all took a trip to a pumpkin patch. They had a petting zoo where all saw a lot of neat animals.

Like a sheep!


Woody and Joey even got a kiss from a llama



I got to meet and have my picture taken with Elmo. I have to tell you, I had no idea he was really this tall!


Before we left I had to pick a ball, even though mom says they're called pumpkins. Decisions decisions!


This one!


For my second Halloween, I dressed up as a kangaroo.

Trick or treat!


Mommy says that I'm the cutest kangaroo coming and going!

Can you guess why Grammy's arms are in both pictures? Yes, she was trying to keep me still for the camera. Good luck with that!


I guess mommy will finish up with November and December posts tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
