My Birthday PARTY!

Where do I begin...it was raining so much this past week that Mommy had to change plans for my Birthday party. At the last minute she and Daddy decided to keep the date and change the location to Chuck E. Cheese. Daddy was so excited he could hardly contain himself! He thought that was a much better idea than having the party at the park - Mommy wasn't so sure. But she said she would have to "make lemonade out of lemons," and with that we were set to party with the big mouse!

And I wasn't even scared of him!

Aunt Colleen and Ed were there to help me celebrate!

As well as my favorite friend Angie and Uncle Keith

Nana and Mommy's Aunt Marlyn were all smiles

Pop-Pop was there too! He loved wheeling me around to see all the activity!

My friend Emily was enjoying her apple juice

Julia enjoyed the pizza we had for lunch

Avery looks so cute in pink!

Ashton couldn't eat his pizza fast enough! He wanted to get back to the games!

Hayden had fun playing the games with his Daddy

Here's Hayden's baby sister Sydney.

She's a little "peanut!"

Hey! There's my friend Carlton enjoying the Birthday cupcakes Mommy made! Yummy!

Uncle Keith had fun with me!

Hey everybody! Look at my new wagon!

Here's my cousin Brendan with Mark and Iva

Taking it all in

The perfect resting place!

Ava was having a great time dancing!

Go Chucky! Go Chucky!


Whew! All that dancing makes me thirsty!


NO more pictures PLEASE!


Brendan needs a little soda break! It's hard work playing all those games!



Aunt Colleen was taking good care of me!


So was Ed!


SMILE!


Hey, there's baby Emma waving Hi!


She was making her raspberry noises for us


Ava's Mommy Jen is Aunt Colleen's really good friend from elementary school - they've been friends for a long time!


Here's my other friend Marissa. She had fun with her Mommy and Daddy too!

There they go! Off to play more games! Have Fun!

Angie and Uncle Keith were having fun, and they weren't even playing the games!

Aunt Colleen and Ed had fun too!

Thanks for coming to my party everybody! I had a great time with all of you and I'm so glad you came! Thank you for all of the really neat presents - Daddy is having fun playing with all of them! I am such a lucky boy to have so many nice friends! Hope to see all of you real soon!

Back to the Elmwood Park Zoo

Well, here we are again back at the zoo. Nana and I sure are getting a lot of use out of the pass that I gave her for her birthday. This time Angie came with us.
It was a nice day to walk around and see all of the animals. My favorite animals to see are the goats. Nana let me get up close and "friendly" with them. They sure make me laugh! Angie had fun feeding the goats too.

This is my serious face!

There were lots of Halloween decorations to see -

and touch!

I'll take this one!

Thanks for coming Angie!

11 months old yesterday!

Mommy and Daddy can hardly believe I'm 11 months already! Mommy keeps saying I'm such a BIG boy now! I'm crawling all around and take about 3 steps at a time - I'm still working on the balancing part, maybe by my first birthday!

Next weekend is my 1st Birthday party! Mommy is getting everything ready....it sure looks like it will be FUN! We have a big weekend planned for next week - the FALL FEST at COS (our church), my party on Saturday, my baptism on Sunday, and then a birthday lunch for Aunt Colleen Sunday afternoon with the family! So check back later to see all the fun.....

Eagles Win on Sunday!

Okay - so I'm not smiling in every picture, but c'mon!

There's only so many times you can smile at the camera all day long!

Uncle Keith, my favorite friend Angie, Aunt Colleen and her new friend Ed were all over my house this past Sunday while we watched the Eagles play and WIN!

Daddy (not pictured for some reason), Mommy, Me and Aunt Colleen were all wearing our Eagles gear to help cheer our team on to victory!

We all had a lot of fun laughing and being silly!

Hey - Aunt Colleen - I really like your new friend Ed! Bring him around more often!
