Trick or Treat

Have you heard of this great thing called Trick-or-Teating? When you go to your neighbors houses, they give you candy! Now that I know what it is, I need a bigger bag than my pumpkin hat for next year.

Pimp My Ride

Check out my new ride as I cruise the park!

Hiking in the local mountains

I live in a place that has small and large mountains all around. Dad & mom thought it would be a good idea to get out and start exploring more of them. Dad picked a trail that was wide enough for me to be comfortable in the stroller. Thank goodness my stroller has shock absorbers because it was bumpy over rocks. We did not quite make it to the top (short by 1/2 mile) but we did just over 4 miles total. Grandma Beth made most of it too. I was still able to manage a nap on our way down when the picture was taken.

Halloween Costumes

Hoot Hoot!
For my 1st Halloween, I have not 1 but 2 costumes! Mommy bought my monkey costume to keep me warm treat-or-treating. Grandma Ver Halen got an idea from auntie Lori to make me an Owl costume. I think I have this picture taking thing down. I like looking at pictures of myself.

Napa Weekend




The whole family took a trip to Napa for a wedding. We went for tours of the Jelly Belly factory, Budweiser bottling and olive oil tasting. Dad has to be a show-off at the Bud factory when he got to talk with crew that maintains the brewing tanks. Mom and dad got samples everywhere we went. What did I get - MILK! I just was not fair. It all looked so good.

The day after the wedding, Eric & Nicole had a BBQ to finish off the weekend. We went to the Pumpkin patch to go through the corn maze. Unfortuantely it had rained too much eariler in the week and my stroller wheels just collected mud. At least my feet did not get diry like mom and dads.

Trapped at 8 months



The older I get and more mobile I become, my parents seem to feel the need to trap me behind bars. This makes it hard for me to get to some of the fun stuff.


I weight over 18lbs and have 6 teeth. My teeth do a great job of ripping chunks of paper off and chomping on anything I can get my hands on.
