IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!

Well, technically yesterday was my birthday, but mom was so busy making sure I had the most awesome day, that she didn't get my blog posted. I got a little car, and snow clothes, money and toys. I got books and a drum filled with little music instruments and also a little zebra that I can bounce on. I even got a star named after me! Mom sent my picture into Good Things Utah and I got to be on tv!! I had my first taste of yummy, sugary cake. Mostly frosting, but it was so cool. We went to dinner with grandma and grandpa Brown, grandma Peterson, uncle Milt, aunt Steph and Austen. I had more cake at dinner too. I had such a fun day yesterday and mommy did such a great job making it special. Thanks mom...luv ya!

My 1st Halloween

This year was my first Halloween and of course I was Odie. Mommy was Garfield, and daddy was just himself coming home from drill weekend. I went trick-or-treating, but our neighborhood had a bunch of old fuddy-duddies and only 4 houses gave out candy. I still had a good time though. I trick-or-treated at grandpa's house and he spoiled me with lots of yummy treats. Then on Halloween we went to a party at Holly's house (mommy's friend). We had a great time and I got to decorate my first cookie. What a great weekend. I wonder what could top it.....in about 4 more days!!!

My First Pumpkin!

This weekend I got to go with mommy and daddy to pick out my first pumpkins. On Friday we went to Wheeler Farms and after me and mom went through the straw maze I got to pick out a pumpkin. Then on Saturday we went on the Heber Valley Railroad and got to pick out pumpkins in a pumpkin patch. I did a great job picking them out. I even got stickers to put on them. Next week me and mom and dad will carve them. I can't wait.

I'm 11 Months Old!

Yesterday I turned 11 months old. I had a pretty fun day. I hung out with grandma and grandpa, ate some paper towels, and got stuck between the treadmil and the wall. If this is what 11 months old is like...I can't wait to see what fun I have at 1 year!!

I DID IT!!

Mark October 3, 2010 in your calendars. I took my first 3 steps all by myself. I think it was the Mickey Mouse jammies that helped. Mom and dad were both there to see it and they were so proud. Dad was prouder because I walked to him, but mom should know I save the special things for her...like pooped in diapers.

And the winner is.....

It was unanimous. Even though only 3 people voted, I'm going to be Odie for Halloween this year. It's a good thing too. Mom already has the costume! I can't wait to go trick-or-treating with mommy and daddy. Mommy ordered me a personalized trick-or-treat bag and she is dusting off her Garfield costume and we are going to go together as Garfield and Odie. To thank mom for all the stuff she has done for my first Halloween, I will make sure to get lots of candy for her to eat!

1st Rule, Don't Talk About Fight Club!

So, in my attempts to take my first steps, I fell on my little music table and split my lip with my two little teeth. I tried to be a trooper, but it hurt so bad and was bleeding so much I couldn't help but cry. Dad says this will only make me stronger, but that's a bunch of nonsense. Next time when I get hurt I will go to mommy who will give me a little bit more sympathy! Mom always knows best.
