Life Has Been Busy...

Things have been busy lately...a move in less than 72 hours, a week down in Florida for Thanksgiving, and week of trying to get my family healthy. Promise to post something soon!!!

My First Year Of Holidays!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Trick-or-Treat!!!

Mommy and Daddy were so excited when they realized Halloween was on Saturday this year! It meant we got to go to Grammie and Grampa's house, which meant I got to go trick-or-treating on the same neighborhood Daddy did! (Sorry for the delay in this post. It's been busy!)

We got up bright and early Saturday morning and headed to Grammie and Grampa's! I did great on the drive, but it sure did feel good to get out and stretch my legs when we finally got there!

Shortly after we arrived, Auntie did too!!! And she had Ruby with her!!!

Grammie and Grampa surprised me and had the whole house decorated for my 1st Birthday! (My party was the next day) As I was looking out admiring my decorations, Great Auntie came over and surprised me!

My friend JR came over and let me ride his wheelchair! Mommy and Daddy had approximately 4 heart attacks during this time. It seemed the only direction I knew how to steer was backwards...straight into the street!

Later that night, I got my costume on and headed out for my first trick-or-treating! I was so excited when I learned trick-or-treating meant "walking" from house to house! Walking is my favorite thing to do...I love this holiday! Mommy and Daddy on the other hand, they were excited about the other half to trick-or-treating...the candy!

My first house, Great Nans!!!





It was a beautiful fall night out. So we were able to go from house...







to house...





to house!





And there's always time for family photos!

It was so great to meet all the neighbors as well! At times though, I had to be careful. Some of the dogs thought I was a real dog and wanted to play with me!!! This made me really excited since I love dogs, however, Mommy and Daddy said I needed to be careful...since they thought I was real!

The clear fall skies made Mommy and Daddy think of Daddy's favorite movie..ET!!!





I also got to meet Lisa and Jill's Mommy! Daddy's known her since he was very young!





After wards we headed home so I could have some dinner. But not before stopping back at Great Nan's to let her know how much fun I had!!!

I couldn't have asked for a better 1st trick-or-treating!!! I had so much fun with everyone!!!

But the fun didn't stop here. We headed to the famous Vitagliano Halloween party after my dinner! Mommy will post that shortly!

Apple...

Eric's good friend, Christian, gave him a First Words book set for his birthday. If I said Eric loved this gift, it would be an understatement. There's not a minute that goes by that he's not walking over to us, with one of the books raised high in the air, asking us to read it to him. He loves them, and we love that he loves them.

However, you often have to wonder what a child is able to take in. Black kitten...meow! To us that makes perfect sense. We know black is the color that the kitten is, Kitten is the animal itself, and meow is what the kitten says. But for a 1 year old. You've got to wonder...

Tonight, we got our answer! Very close buddy, very close!

12 Month Photo Shoot!!!

What a fun day! Today we went and got my 12 month pictures taken!

Apparently, my 6 month photo shoot was much easier than my 12 month! Easier as in, all I knew how to do was sit up at the time! Mommy and Daddy had to catch me from walking straight off the stage over 100 times!



Mommy and Daddy aren't too fond of props in pictures, but they thought it was cute that the photographer wanted to put "1" blocks out to always remember how old I was!





Once we got home, Mommy and Daddy had fun comparing the two to see just how much I've grown over the past 6 months!



On Monday I get my school photos taken again! Hopefully the photographer won't have such an "interesting" choice of cropping as he did last time! I'll keep you posted!

Happy Birthday Eric!!!

When thinking of the past year, all Daddy and I can do is say...Thank You.

Happy Birthday Best Friend!
You're The Best!

Love
Mommy and Daddy

Halloween Parade!

On Friday, Oct. 30, I had a Halloween Parade at my school! Mommy and Daddy thought it was so cute seeing me and all my friends dressed up! They also got a kick out of seeing my teachers all dressed up as well!

Afterward, they came and played with me in my room for a little while.

But when it was time for them to go I was a little confused as to why I wasn't going with them. As I always do when Mommy and Daddy come to pick me up, I instantly started to wave bye-bye to my teachers. This left a really big guilty feeling with Mommy and Daddy, since they knew they had to go back to work. They had a feeling this was going to happen, but liked knowing they got to pick me up in just a couple short hours :(

Not to mention, I was very easily distracted by the big boys and girls room! Every day Mommy and Daddy pick me up, I always sneak in here. Just another sign that I'm ready to graduate out of my infant room. I've outgrown it and am looking so forward to moving on up in a week or two!
