christmas tree

daddy bought a christmas tree. no glass balls and plastic snowflakes for us; we decorated it with all my toys!

at the park

halloween

coming up on my third halloween, but not quite ready to be excited about it yet. probably because i don't really understand the concept of trick-or-treating and haven't been introduced to the indulgence of sweets.
pumpkin carving with paige & parker. now this, i like.

halloween salute

little fairy. we'll get more creative next year, i promise

didn't take long to figure out that trick-or-treating is AWESOME. couldn't hit those doorbells fast enough!

Pumpkin Patch II

another super hot october weekend. we hit the ramona pumpkin patch with Kenny, Maddie & Annataking on the corn maze with Anna

found the biggest one!!

i think i like the baby ones best

camo-blankie

since dance class was a failure, we played camo-blankie with the blanket that aunt lisa made me. look, where's me?

ballerina

daddy took me to a dance class. i was becoming such a good dancer at home, he wanted to show me off.
he bought me a hot pink bodysuit so i could stand out, but i didn't need any help standing out.

matter of fact, i tried to make up my own dances, but the girls wouldn't listen. i thought that chairs made better props than hula-hoops.

Pumpkin Patch

Mom and Dad (I've recently dropped the last couple letters from "Mommy" and "Daddy") took me to the pumpkin fair in Irvine park where Poh Poh used to take Mom when she was a little girl. Ah Yi even came to meet us!

We had a junk food picnic. Mom ate Taco Bell that
made her sick, and I looked for birdy feathers.

I played on all the pumpkins, but I liked this one best. Dad didn't buy it for me because he didn't want to lug that damn thing all over Irvine.

But he did buy me a ticket for the jumpy, boy was that fun! I jumped until I got tired, then Mom gave me a juice box that I sucked down in one gulp.

Look at how tall i'm getting! Pretty soon I'll be getting into bars without being carded!

Then I played scarecrow for a while.

We all went on a train ride around the park. I was pretty tired
by then, though, hence the lack of interest on my face.

Then Dad and I fed the ducks for a while. They liked my stale goldfish crackers.

Fort Daddy

It's just me and Daddy all day long these days. One of my favorite things is playing "Fort." Daddy makes really good ones.

We hang out in here for hours at a time. Sometimes Daddy even pretends to fall asleep. He snores and everything.

Elijah's 3rd Birthday

waiting for the train to the beach, ticket in hand

not sure what i think of this, it moves pretty fast
