Fall Fun!

T-Minus one week until my first birthday!!!! I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. All sorts of boxes have been coming in the house and I am just dying to know what is inside them. I really hope I get a Barbie car!! (If not, I will just call Santa and ask him :)) Anyway...I tried on my costume for Halloween and mommy took me to get my picture taken. It was pretty fun and I look pretty cute! I also went to my first pumpkin patch. I thought that at a pumpkin patch, the pumpkins grew on vines and we picked the best, roundest, plumpest one. Well apparently not at the pumpkin patch we went to. I saw them taking pumpkins out of boxes and throwing them onto the patch. WTBH!! (for those not savvy, that is What the Boo Hickey!). Also, I am not quite yet walking, but am pushing any piece of furniture I can get my sticky hands on to get around. Check out my pics!

If this cute little bee doesn't get 3 handfuls of tootsie rolls, I don't know what will!

This pumpkin patch is more real than the one we went to. And look at me standing all by myself!

Rolling in the leaves

Peek-a-Bee!

I look like the April page on a silly baby calendar. Maybe mommy should sell it and make some cash :)

Trying to walk, and mommy trying not to be in the picture.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Are these edible?

Pollinating. I really get into playing the part of my costume.

Here is mommy and me at the alleged "pumpkin patch". As you can see in the background, these pumpkins are not attached to vines. What you can't see in the background is the box that they came out of.

Scarecrow Fiona!

\Watch where that stem goes Papoo!

We ran into my friend Ayla at the patch.

You can see some vines in this picture, but I think they are faux.

Learning to walk with my highchair, and reaching in my toy box.

Learning to walk with my walker - and a balloon!! I am obsessed with balloons!!

Showing my teef for the camera

Cutest soon-to-be one year old ever!

Growing Like a Weed

Whenever mama talks on the phone, all I ever hear her say is "Fi is growing like a weed!" I just don't get it, because in the summer she picks all the weeds out of the ground and throws them away (and endlessly complains about it). How am I a weed??

This is my "hit me baby one more time" outfit (sans skirt, I wouldn't comply entirely with mom's game of dress up.)

This past weekend fall arrived with a vengence, it rained all day on Saturday - but if anyone is ready, it is me. I have a ton of cute new fall clothes and accessories to show off!

Can I get a shot of Bailey's with my formula please?

Me and my 2 BFF's, Auggie and Lucy.

Coffee table knob = YUMMY

Seahawks season is here! Check out my Sea Gal outfit. I hope to try out for the squad next year, I have been working on my moves, especially to "Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur"!

Mom is getting ready to go to the game. I don't care anymore, last year I was a baby, this year I am a big girl and I go hang out with nana and papoo and go on adventures!

Sometimes when daddy works from home, I just want to play with him. How do I get through this piece of wood? Can I fit underneath?

Maybe I can huff and puff and blow this door down?

Okay, seriously - "DAAAAA DAAAAA!!!!!!!!! LET ME IN!"

Eating some mac n cheese (that is all I will eat these days)

I can reach my own toy box now! This is so fun!

Summer Summer Summer Time

This summer has been filled with LOTS of fun times! I cant believe that it is already September and time to go back to school. Oh wait, I am only 10 months old, I don't go to school. Someone might want to tell my mommy because she keeps singing me the ABC's and trying to get me to do all sorts of things, that I am pretty sure might be considered "homework" by some.

I kind of look like I am dressed to go to school in this picture. Whatever I am dressed to do, I sure do look CUUU-TE

The mirror never gets old to me. I continue to look at it and wonder who that big blue-eyed baby is that is staring back at me.

Seriously, I read this for the articles.

I am all ready for some mac n cheese! Mom and I went to Bremerton to visit her mom (I am confused...some sorority thing?) and she made the BEST mac n cheese ever. (Don't tell my mommy, she might get her feelings hurt)

This ball keeps rolling away, so I must crinkle my nose to get it back.

My first time I tried spaghetti. I don't really like it, I would rather my noodles covered in cheese.

How pretty am I in my Hawaiian dress? Nana and Papoo bought it for me.

Here I am on the swings, one of my most favorite things to do. Daddy pushes me really high, it is so much fun!

I just want to make sure that Isaac knows who is boss, I might be smaller, but I am feisty!

Me and Isaac chillin' at my grandma and granpa's house in Coeur D'Alene. We had a couple of dates over there.

Here I am with mom and grandma and grandpa's house. I was pretty dirty from all of my Idaho exploring, so I needed a bath. Grandpa made me my very own bathtub...

My bathtub!

Me and Uncle Chris having a moment.

How Big is Fiona?? SO BIG!

Movin', movin', movin'!! That is about all I do these days. It is pretty hard to keep my contained, as I love to crawl and explore anything and everything I can find. I am trying to figure out how to open all these drawers and cupboards that mommy is always pulling cool stuff out of. So far, mommy is too fast to get to me and I have to get into the cupboard. Soon enough mom, soon enough...

Here I am trying to make my way into the kitchen without mommy seeing and catching me.
Another pic of me on the move, I love crawling between the carpet and hardwoods, it feels funny on my knees.
In this picture I probably saw something really enticing to me, like mommy eating, or a dog bone. I want it, I want it!
This is my new toy, I push down the little animals and then mommy pops them back out at me, FUN!
Along with lots of crawling, I also pull myself up on everything! I have had many falls and I cry a lot when it happens, but after mommy or daddy hugs me and kisses me all better, I am back at it!
Lucy loves to give me kisses, particularly after I have eaten, I wonder why that is???
I also really enjoying crawling underneath the coffee table and drooling on mommy and daddy's wedding album.
Recently my favorite boyfriend Isaac and I went on a date to Marymoor Park. It was super fun, we switched toys and had a picnic! Smooches to Mr. Isaac!
Oh, and we also swung on the swings! How cute are we?
Me and mama at the park, I am kind of mad because I did NOT want to be chaperoned for my date with Isaac, but mommy and Auntie Kimmie insisted on being there.

Go Mariners! I went to the Mariners game with mommy and Papu and guess what? They actually won!
Me and Papau at the Mariners game singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".
These are my cheerio fists, sometimes I try to get as many as I can in each hand and then squeeze them.
But most of all, I love to eat them! Yummy cheerios!
