What a busy two weeks!!!

Ok guys, wow... I thought I had seen so much in my first two months, but October was the busiest month ever!!!  I got to meet my great-Grandma Doris, start day care, visit the Arboretum (twice!!!), turned 3 months old, watched my first World Series and tons of college football game, and learned lots of new tricks like how to bring my toys to my mouth to chew on and lots more!

Where to begin?!?  The weekend before mom went back to work full-time we took a quick trip to Okmulgee, Oklahoma to meet my great-Grandma Doris, Great Uncle Kary, Great Aunt Jennifer, my second cousins Ashley, Joe and Taylor and my Great-Great Aunt Wanda, Whew!.  These relatives are all from Sau-Sau's side of the family where I'm the 14th great-grandchild!  I loved getting to play with everyone for the first time! 

My uncle Neal also drove over from college at Oklahoma Baptist University to see me.  Since he's been so busy with being Class President and running cross country I haven't seen him since I was about two weeks old!  He fed me a bottle and loved holding me too!

My "aunt" La Shea gave me the cutest Halloween onesie and we live close to this awesome place with tons of colorful flowers to look at called the Arboretum, so Mom dressed me up before Halloween for pictures...

Seriously Mom?  You just sat me on the dirty ground just for a photo op?? 

 

I also started day care on October 17, well technically I went for a few hours on the Thursday and Friday before that.  Mom was told it was a good idea to try a few hours apart before the first day back at work so she wouldn't be completely breaking down at work.  Good thing she did, because she really was a mess!  The teachers were so nice to Mommy and thankfully Daddy came with me on my first day so she got lots of hugs from him too.  I've just been such an easy baby that Mom had a ton of fun hanging out with me, so she was sad to miss my smiling face all day.  But I really love my day care, I always have big smiles for my teachers and love staring at the other babies.  Plus they have different swings, bouncers, mobiles and toys than at home so its fun to change things up!  My teachers say I'm the best baby, I never fuss and always take my bottle no matter which one feeds me.  There are 6 other babies in my class and 3 teachers, so I get lots of attention.  

Mom forgot to take pictures of me at school because she was too busy getting out tissues, but here's me after school all worn out from a fun day of playing! 

I'm getting so good at tummy time, I can really hold my head up for about 20 seconds at a time!  There's so much to look at!!  As soon as I drop my head to give my neck a break I pick it right back up to look around some more.  I'm also working on my balancing so I lift my feet and legs up along with my head to where I basically am doing a backwards crunch.  Gotta stay fit and limber!

 For Halloween this year I was the cutest strawberry you've ever seen :)  Well thats what my mom says.  We got to make another trip to the Arboretum, and this time my parents actually found Cinderella's pumpkin village instead of thinking all there were for pictures were random displays of pumpkins.  Duh!  Anyway, Sau Sau went with us to help take pictures.  Because my costume was so full of stuffing it was very hard to sit up, and I kept rolling back and forth.  Plus there was so much to look at - all the kids in their fun costumes, and the colorful pumpkins everywhere!  But I did so well and just stayed there patiently wherever my mom put me, and just waited for the pictures to be over with so I could finally get my nap. 

I love chewing on anything I can get my hands on lately!!

The electricty went out in our neighborhood after a huge storm - it didn't wake me up so how bad could it have been?! - but the power was out and we had to go to Doc and Sau-Sau's house for the day to hang out.  Turns out the power still wasn't working by night time so we ran home to get all our overnight stuff then back to Midlothian to spend the night!  I got to spend the whole next day with Doc and Sau Sau too after Mommy went to work.  Mommy is used to our routine so she was very frazzled by all this and forgot half her work stuff and some things for me too, let's hope she can get it together soon because I won't always be so predictable!!

Lots of friends came to visit me lately too!
