fresh out of the bath


Sorry there was no text with the last one, mom got a little distracted. We had a good thanksgiving, not the same as being with family, but we were with a great group of people and the food was to die for, seriously, mom thinks the turkey was the best she ever had. Everyone went all out. I got to eat pre-made but home cooked sweet potato, squash and peas, it was super yummy. I was so well behaved, I just sat in my high chair while everyone ate, and every once in a while mom would shovel a spoonful in and I was happy. Our friends Jon and Brooke came and spent the weekend and played with me a lot, we had fun...I like redheads and people with glasses. I am rolling like crazy, across rooms and more...I love my ball, I will roll many times to get it. And I love my shakers, I play it while mom plays guitar sometimes. She tried to get me to show off for this little clip, but I was a little hestitant, but she posted it anyway. Mom is not sure if it is for real, but I wave my hand a lot now, like I am trying to say hi or bye. Well, the long weekend is almost over...hope everyone else had a good thanksgivin weekend!

today we went back to Lory state park to go fora hike and on the way we ran into some friends of ours, padriac and his girls abigail and kylah--for being 3 and 5, they are pretty good hikers. i hung out in my backpack for most of it--it was such a nice day out. jack and daisy had fun being dogs, roling in stuff and swimming...jack went all the way in, above where he could touch, we were all very proud of him. and yesterday, mom had over some of my friends and their moms for a babyfood cook a thon...it took almost 4 hours, but they made us lots of good food--squash, peas, green beans, pears, sweet potatos and more...i should be set for a while now. mom starts back to work tomorrow at 32 hours...she will still have fridays off with me through december, but she is really gonna miss hanging out with me on tues and thursday afternoons and all day wed--she really wishes she could stay part time...i guess we will all make it work though...we hope everyone is doing well!

dad is being silly

i love to feed myself

so mom and dad have finally caught on...i hated the bottle, until i proved to them i could feed myself...so the trick is to put it in my sippy cup or give me the bottle and i will take it. Not only that i can even grab the spoon and hold it on my own...messes are super fun.

nawlins was fun!

om our way to the rehersal dinner

along the boardwalk

Last weekend my uncle michael (aka uncle bob) got married to a wonderful lady named gina down in the city of nawlins. mom had been really sick for a while and still barely had a voice when we arrived, but I was pumped up. My gram-b and gramp-c came down and the whole Hayes clan immediate and extended were there--it was so fun. I walked all around town, saw a bunch of famous sites, even visited a cemetary. the bestpart was the wedding...i was pretty good in church, and then we took a bus to the reception and when it droppe dus off there were all of these horns playing leading me in my very first parade--or as it was called--a second line. every time the crowd cheered, i cheered with them...it was great--congrats mike and g!
