Big brudder Ben and I like playing in the fort in M&D’s closet.

We can hide in there and laugh a lot!  Ben really knows how to play and have fun!

I like to offer warm blankets to M&D on cold mornings when the furnace turns on.  The furnace is my warm blanket maker!

I warm them up and deliver them to wherever Mommy or Daddy are.  They really like getting them!

We took a trip to visit Cousins Dan and Amber.  Avery and Ollie came, too.  They had a great backyard with lots of leaves to play with.

We collected them up…

… and then had as much fun with them as we could!

Wooo hooo!

Ben was the expert at inspecting the old washer.  But we have a new one now, and this one is my job to check out.

Looks… shiny inside.

Better than not shiny.  Looks good!

Now that I’m 10 months old, I like to be sitting up and playing – not lying down for my pictures!

Mommy does a great job of making sure that I’m busy all day!

…safely…

Can’t be too careful.  There might be an explosion of color!

Lately, pulling up just isn’t enough.  I need something more.  Like this box here.

Mommy?  Mommy!  Are you OK?  Don’t panic, Mommy!  I’m OK!

Guess who gets to ride to kindergarten in the morning with Ben?  Me!!!

And I get to wear this cool looking but warm hat, too!

Princesses or no, sometimes you just don’t feel like getting up in the morning.

(Ed. Note: Especially when M&D are shifting your schedule later to prepare for the time change!)

Looks like Orange Ghoulash on the menu today.  I think it’s turning me orange!

I think M&D are trying to turn me into a pumpkin by Halloween!  But… so yummy! Mmmmm….
