The Pumpkin Patch

Today Daddy left work a little bit early so we could all go to the pumpkin patch together.  We went to Goebbert's.  It's really big!

Here I am in my stroller ready to look around.

Having a little fun:

Sitting in the pumpkins:

I don't like the sun in my eyes!

And here I am sitting with Mommy is a really big rocking chair.

I had a lot of fun at Goebbert's.  We also saw people riding horses and camels and feeding giraffes.  I'm looking forward to going back when I'm bigger and can play more.



Halloween a Little Early

On October 12, Mommy put me in my First Halloween onesie.  I'm getting so big that I won't fit in it on Halloween. 

Two Month Check-Up

On Monday, October 10, Mommy took me to see Dr. Bass for my two month check-up. 
Here I am waiting in the waiting room.

I'm looking forward to playing with those trains when I'm bigger.



On the table waiting for Dr. Bass to come in.

I'm now 9 pounds 1/2 ounce and 21 3/4 inches long.  Mommy can't believe how much I've grown in two months!

Two Months

Today I'm two months old!  Mommy said she can't believe how fast it's gone. 

I'm getting bigger.  I can tell because some of my newborn size pjs are getting too small.  On Monday, Mommy will take me back to the doctor to see just how big I am now.

Here is my two month picture with the purple monkey.  I'm bigger than he is now!

Just relaxing!

Apple Fest

On Sunday, October 2, I went with Mommy, Nana Donna, Aunt Denise, Aunt Jackie and Aunt Julie to Apple Fest in Long Grove.

There were so many people there!  I think we will have to go back on a different day.

There are apple donuts and an apple pie in that bag.  Every told me they were delicious.  Maybe I'll try them next year.

My Baptism

Saturday, October 1 was an exciting day for me; I had my baptism at St. Matthew's Church.  The church is really close to our house.  Fr. Chuck, who is Daddy's uncle, baptized me.  The water was pretty cold, but I was a good girl the whole service and didn't cry at all.  I even slept through most of the pictures afterwards.

Here is a picture of Fr. Chuck baptizing me:

My godparents are Aunt Julie and Jonathon.  Here I am with them:

After the ceremony at St. Matthew's, we went to the RAM for lunch.
Here's my cake:

With my godparents and my cake.

After the RAM we went home to relax.

Getting baptized is tiring.

So is being a godmother, I guess.

I hope you all enjoyed seeing the pictures from my special day.  Thank you to everyone who came.  Also, thank you to my cousin Julie for taking all the pictures and for Uncle Dave for videoing the ceremony and lunch.
