Halloween prep

Mom's still not sure what I'm going to be for Halloween, but in the meantime she's testing out some of my spooky gear.

My pumpkin hat from Karyn and Char has been a hit with the ladies at the YMCA.

Dad prefers my skeleton jammies from Grandma Betty. (P.S. They glow in the dark. And yes - he knows he should retire the sweatshirt after last weekend.)

All the wardrobe changes make me sleepy.

So I do what I do second best. Nap.

Resting up

Tomorrow is a big day for Mom and me. Our first full day apart. She's back to work. I'm off to Childtime. Wish us luck.

While she packs for us, Dad, Owen and I rested.
Helpful. No?

Sparty On

Big weekend! On Friday, Mom, Dad and I traveled to Lansing for Mom's annual Grove Street get-together. Mom couldn't get over how times have changed. In attendance Friday night - Karyn and Charlie, Kerri, Jen, Sue, Andy, Linda, Everett and Willa - and Andy's two brothers. 12 people spent the night. Four were under the age of 3. It was a busy house!

It was the first time I met . . .

Auntie Sue

Auntie Jen

Andy and Everett,

And Charlie.

Who blew me kisses.

And who I watched have breakfast in a big-boy high chair.

On Saturday morning, the "no kids" crew - Jen, Kerri and Sue - headed out at 7 a.m. to secure a tailgating spot. As a reward, they were featured in the Detroit News online slideshow. (Wearing the hats mom gave them as shower thank you gifts.)

 

We showed up a few hours later. Me in the green and white Grandpa Bob secured at the shower.

 Dad wore a silly hat.

 

 As did Mom.

And Everett enjoyed Mom's Bloody Mary.

 Stir stick.

We lasted about 2 hours, then headed back to the house to watch the game.

 The dad's were in charge. 

A win for the Spartans. 

 And then we rested.

It was a good time.

And I can't wait for next year.

Bathing beauty

Today we're heading to East Lansing for the annual Grove Street Reunion. Because I'll be meeting potential suitors Everett and Charlie, Mom wanted me looking fancy, so she tossed me in the tub.

As usual, I loved it.

Maizey - LIVE

I am happy to report that I am finally starting to recover from those horrible shots. Mom took a video last night to prove it. Enjoy. (And please ignore her high-pitched Mom voice.)

 

Giggle!

Deck time

Last week Mom and I had to hang out on the deck all day while Annette cleaned the house. Lucky for us it was unseasonably warm.

 I practiced my sharing with brother Kip. 

And chilled in my chair from Great Uncle Ozzy/Bill.
