November Excitement!

I survived my first Halloween and had a great time!  We went to the Rippaville Plantation in Spring Hill, just south of Nashville and it was so much fun.  We went through the corn maze and took a hay ride.  I also had multiple costumes for my first Halloween.  I dressed up as a puppy dog, a scary skeleton, and an elephant.  I also had an 80 pound pumpkin decorated really cool with my name on it.  Mama made me get inside the pumpkin so she could take pictures, it was cold and slimy on my feet, but I did it just to make her happy.

We had visitors last weekend, grandpa Steve came down from Iowa and uncle Shae, aunt Lisette, and cousins Teddy and Leo stayed with us!  I loved playing with Teddy and Leo is getting so big!  Grandpa Steve brought a huge toybox that Todd made just for me!  It is really cool and I can't wait to fill it up with all of my toys! 

Mom, grandpa, and uncle Shae went to the Bears game on Sunday and I got to hang out with Miss Elaine, aunt Lisette, and my cousins all day.  We had a great time!  Mom said they had great seats for the game, but the game didn't go so well for the Titans.  It's a good thing grandpa and uncle Shae root for the Bears! 

Big news for me:  I now have four teeth and counting!  My bottom two and top two!  I continue to meet milestones and I have finally mastered feeding myself and am now crawling!  It is so much fun to move around and mom says I am really good at it!  I also just starting pulling myself up on things and am clapping my hands!
