A momentous first...

CHOMP! It's about time I got to gnaw on my first bagel! When we're in New York, maybe we can stop off at Bagel Boss or Essa Bagels. I hear they are the best!

My new hairdo...

I decided that I really like Aunt Cindy's hairdo, so I got it. What do you think? I thought about giving her my usual 'do, but not everyone can handle the look...

Amazing But True Stories!

Holy cow! Did you see this news story? It happened right while we were there! Wow! What a pretty mermaid!
Ok, just kidding! That's ME under all those shiny fish scales! I bet you didn't even recognize me!
We went down to the beach, and had a great time.
Well, it was a long day, so maybe I nodded off, just for a bit...

Thanksgiving III

The day after Thanksgiving, the fun continued!

Eh, what's up doc?

This great toy was a real "hi-lite" of my trip!

Grandma Mim and I read this fun book that Aunts Arika and Cindy gave me!

And I sung along with my fun new radio from Cousins Chuck and Karen!

Mmmmmmmm! Tasty music, indeed!

Thanksgiving II

I had a great time playing with everyone! They passed me around like a hot potato, and everyone was so nice! I got about a thousand kisses.

Grandpa Did is funny! He and I played a lot, and he declared that, as the grandpa, he had the right to grab me up, anytime he wanted!

Grandma Mim is really wonderful! We had great giggle-fests! I've decided that I'd like this necklace, by the way. No, really. I want it.

Great Aunt Shelle has this great trick where she finds a tickle, and grabs it, and I just giggle like mad!

This is Uncle Jeff and Kimmy -- I think Kimmy is the only one at the party who weighs less than me! And Uncle Jeff has these really great magic tricks. Maybe I'll get him on video one of these days...

Christine is an old friend of Dad's, and now, she and I are old friends, since I met her, oh, when I was half my age!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! We had a great time!

This is, working clockwise starting at the bottom, Uncle Jeff, Uncle Harry, Christine, Estelle, Cousin Brad, Mom, Grandma Mim, ME, Grandpa Did, Aunts Arika and Cindy, Aunt Shelle, Aunt Nancy and Cousin Kimmy (and Dad is behind the camera, as usual)! It was quite a spread, with plenty of tasty vegetarian food, and it all looked so tasty!


I put on my bib, grabbed my knife and fork, and got all set to chow down, when I found out I was just getting the usual baby food.


Aunts Cindy and Arika hosted, and they threw a great party!


And I, of course, was the Empress, presiding over my Court. Finally, I have the right clothes for my Royal Office!

Gettin' ready for Turkey-Day

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Dad told me this is the day that we pretend that Europeans were nice to the Native Americas, and then we eat dead birds. I don't know if this is right. Doesn't sound like much of a holiday to me! I say we just give me presents, instead!

On the other hand, those ducks look pretty tasty! Can I have that one right over there, dad?

How about I eat THAT one? He's nice and plump!

I'm just salivating at the thought!

Come 'ere, you!

No, wait! I've got you!

Whatdayamean, we're eating TOFU?

Hmph!

Uh-oh. I think they overheard me...

At the park

We went to the park yesterday, and while we were clowning around on the grass, I stole Dad's hat! I think it looks much better on me, anyway! What do you think?

Very "Olde West," I think!

Harley

Don't tell Grandma Mim, but I've taken up motorcycle racing! Grandpa Did would love it! He got me the great Harley-Davidson gear I'm wearing here!


Next year, Sturgis!

Union Suit

Mom got me this fun red union suit with a trap door for the tush!

Dad and I had a good snuggle on the couch.

Hey! What are you doing??

Ha! Mom's upside-down!

Getting ready...

This December, I'm off to the Frozen East! I think that a nice, cool day is in the mid-90s, so I think I'll probably freeze my tuchas off!

Grandma Mim made me this snuggly cape to keep me warm. I'm just giving a a quick call to say thanks!

Blue Jumper

Here I am goofing around for the camera in a fun jumper that Aunts Ari and Cindy gave me!

I really like to strike a pose, as you all know!

Look! I'm flying! Sort of...

I think this one makes me look really pretty, don't you?

They should use this one for the Pumpkin Patch catalog!

My New Friend Ved!

This is my newest boyfriend, Ved! In this photo, he was just one week old! That's Aunt Namrata holding me and that's Ved's grandmum holding him!

He's really cute, and so tiny next to me! I felt like a giant!

This is me with Ved's dad, Uncle Rahul.

It's nap time!

Halloween

Yesterday was Halloween! It was awesome! I got dressed up as a pumpkin. I was going to be a lamp post, but Dad said that a pumpkin was better suited to my proportions... I don't know why, but the costume was fun, anyway!

Trick or treat!

Smell my feet!
(That's Grandma Mim holding me up! She came out dressed as the world's best grandma!

We went to a fair with lots of little kids dressed up, and they had people giving out candy! Yay!
But Mom wouldn't let me have any. She kept getting it from people, but somehow, I never saw it....

I ran into a boy wearing the same costume. I thought this was great fun!

He was a bit upset by the whole thing, but no matter! I guess I must have looked better in it!
Not to worry! I didn't really turn into a pumpkin! It's me under there!
