Reason number 10,000,000,0001 why Mommy loves me

Because I help her with one of her top 2 least favorite chores....unloading the dishwasher! And for all our curious readers, folding laundry is her other one.

How am I supposed to help Mommy if I can't even open it?Open Sesame.

I'll start with the bowls.
Then the spoons. Oh wait, I think I'm taking out what Mommy just loaded!

Do you see what I see? Another dishwasher! Does it need to be unloaded?

Mommy, open it and I'll help you.

Babysitting Noah

Mommy, Daddy, Gammy and I babysat my cousin Noah over the weekend while my Aunt Julie and Uncle Josh were in town for the OSU vs. Penn State football game. By the way, OSU lost thanks to Pryor's butter fingers. :(

Completely uncharacteristic of our Mommy's, Noah and I unfortunately only got a couple pictures together in our PJ's Sunday morning. Bad Mommies!

They got more of the dogs all worn out from playing...go figure.

At least Mommy got some video of me giving Noah kisses!

Pumpkin Patch

-----Attention Aunt Beth: This post is way overdue and is therefore backdated. K? :) ------

Gammy and Poppy took me, Mommy, and Daddy to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. It was a beautiful day, with sunny skies and the crisp fall air. I was so excited to go to the Pumpkin Patch that I refused to take my afternoon nap. Please note that this is the first and only time (so far)this has ever happened....that's how excited I was! We decided to give it a shot and I was a very good girl the whole time. Enjoy the pictures...

3 generations of hands. Thanks, Daddy, for taking this lovely picture!

I found my pumpkin! Now, how do I get it home? Roll it?

Hmmm, on second thought, maybe this one isn't perfect.

Hey, now this one is more my size. Perfection at last!

Where is Daddy? I need to show him my new pumpkin.

I loooove my little pumpkin.But I still loved the big one so I kept both.

Thanks, Gammy and Poppy, for taking me to my very first pumpkin patch. I can't wait to go again next year!

Personality

Most everyone who meets me comments about this great big personality that I have. I think it's because of all the different faces I make.

Whenever I first see the camera, I pull out this big cheesy beautiful grin. Then I do my scrunchy face. I kind of walk around all day doing this face, actually. More scrunchy face. And if Mommy asks me really nicely, I put on a sweet little princess face.

Okay, confession time. The real reason I wrote this post is so you could see the beeeeee-ootiful rose barrettes that my Grandma F. got me. The silly faces are just an added bonus. :)

Laughs, laughs and more laughs

Mommy and I were just being silly after I finished up my dinner.

Bubbles

My Bubba is so silly when he tries to eat the bubbles.

Birthday Party

On Saturday, I went to a birthday party for my cousin, Eva Claire (she's actually Daddy's cousin's daughter, so I think that would make Eva and I third cousins). She turned 2 years old! My cousin, Aaron was there, too. He is 17 months old, so the 3 of us are pretty close in age. Family get-togethers will be so much fun as we get older!

Showing Aaron how to play on the activity table. I have the same one!

BOO!

Mommy and I went to "Boo at the Zoo" today with our friends, Beth and Robbie. It was my first trip to the Zoo and after my response to the animals at the Fair , Mommy wasn't sure how I would handle the Zoo. She was pleasantly surprised as I was on my very best behavior! We spent over an hour and a half looking at the animals and the pretty Halloween decorations, and going trick-or-treating. I had such a nice time and can't wait to go to the Zoo again. Next season, we're definitely going to have to buy a season pass!

The pretty pink playhouse that Mommy registered to win for me. ::fingers crossed::

I was starting to get tired of all the people staring at me saying "Awww, look at the cute flower!". The one exception was the guy who said to Mommy, "I can't tell what he is. Is he a frog?" Seriously?

Here I am, you know, the frog. I was just hanging out with my reptile friend, the snake.

Mesmerized by the aquarium.

You would have been, too!

Super Size me please! Kidding...that's a pumpkin!

Look at these scary pumpkins.

And this one was decorated like a pretty blue peacock!

Is Ms. Bee pollinating me?

We're typically "dog people", but you have to admit these felines are gorgeous.

Hey, look I think it's Nala from the Lion King.

Mommy said if I don't win the pink playhouse, I could take her home!

Checking out Obi-Wan with his magical lightsaber. As a side note, did you know that up until 20 seconds ago, Mommy thought it was called a "lightsaver"? That silly Mommy!

Going Trick-or-Treating for the first time ever!
Trick OR Treat? TREAT!!! YAY!!

Awww, man...it's time to go home already? It was 15 minutes until my bedtime (yes, my bedtime is at 6pm). Wooops! :)
