Weekend of Comptons, Pumpkins, restaurants, and other fun stuff!

Last weekend we had a shower for our friends Tim and Lara.  Lots of people came over and it was fun for a while.  I got to play with my friend Phoebe who was trying to teach my how to crawl.  I’m not quite there yet, still working on the sitting thing.  I am close to sitting though.

Almost everyone at the shower

Mom, Lara, and Rainbow (co-host and Phoebe's mom)

New thing to eat- toes. MMMMMM

MMMMMMMM

Sunday we went to pick out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch with Tim and Lara.  We went for a long drive out of the city to a place that resembles Mississippi, only with corn everywhere, no cotton.  I helped Daddy pick out the best pumpkin there.  

Look at all of these pumpkins! 

What is that?

And what is that smell???

Looking for the perfect pumpkin with dad

That's it!

Yay!  My first pumpkin!

This is awesome!

 We also visited the new restaurant, 2 Sparrows.  Our friend Steve helped create it.  I didn't get to eat anything though.  Soon, soon.  

Enjoy your foie gras poptart, I'll eat my rings.

And here are some random pictures of me thoughout the week:

Where will I go?

Playing dress up with mom

I love my stander!  Too bad mom and dad limit my time in it!  I'll get them back when I'm mobile.

My pumpkin made it home.

And here is a video of mom making me laugh!  More videos to come.  Hopefully this works!

Reality is Perspective cont...

So, obviously I'm yammering on, or that is what the blog thinks.  So, new page and more yammering!

This week Dad went away for a work trip AGAIN!  But Mom and I had a good time.  We went shopping, walking, and we got ready for a baby shower we're hosting for our friends Tim and Lara on Saturday.
Also, today I went to a baby/mom get together and really enjoyed it (sorry no pictures)!  I interacted with other babies and moms.  After that I took at 2 1/2 hour nap!

Tim and Lara with me 2 or 3 days old! 

Thanks Godfather Andy for the awesome onesie!  Mom thinks these cutoffs are cute.  I'll get her back one day...

Hanging with Mom!

New thing to eat- Mom's hair.  MMMMMM!

 With all of these new changes and new perspectives I am quickly becoming a city girl.  That's right!  Watch out Chicago, here I come!!!!

Reality is Perspective

I took this, with mom's help of course.  This is my usual perspective. 

Being a city girl hasn't always been easy for me.  It's very noisy, we are rushing around when we go places, its stop and go stop and go when we're in the car, did I mention it was noisy.  It is NOIIIII-SY!!!   It is simply overwhelming sometimes.  However, I have recently decided to change my perspective.  Thank you Memaw for the insightful letter.  Like mom says, "perspective is reality".  Or what I say, "reality is perspective".  Overall I am a HAPPY baby!!!

Happy Happy Happy! 

I am enjoying life and my new skills.  I am able to control my environment more and more each day.
 
Part of my new perspective is having new abilities, like sitting up with support.  And "standing" with help from mom or dad.  

Me sitting with support. 

Recently  Lew Lew came to visit.  I always do something new when she comes along, to mess with mom and dad mainly.  I usually don't long naps in fear of missing something very important.  When Lew Lew was here, I began taking longer naps.  They all also realized that I sleep through a lot of noise, my bedroom is in an open loft apartment.  Way to plan mom and dad!  (sarcasm)  I enjoyed time with her.  I didn't scream at her and I didn't need my mommy as much.  I let mom and dad go to a Bears game!  GO BEARS!!!!  They won!  So did Ole Miss, seriously it happened.  Look it up if you don't believe me.

I LOVE MY LEW LEW!!!
