I'm starting my first draft: "Dear Santa, Please bring me dozens and dozens of super awesome books to keep on my super awesome bookshelf..."

This is the fabulous bookshelf that Grandpa C built for me. Thank you, Grandpa!!!

This is what my head looks like, minus an inch and a half of fuzzy hair.

Big girl in a big girl tub!

I'm 8-months-old today! So here are some updates: I don't fit in my baby tub anymore. I'm not crawling yet, but I can roll all the way across a room if I'm in the mood. I'm still a very cheerful girl, even though I don't like to take long naps for Mommy (I do it for Christie though). I love to sing and shout and do raspberries. I am an excellent eater as long as it comes in a bottle, but I make sure to close up shop if a spoon gets near my mouth. That glop just doesn't go down as smoothly! Mom and Dad aren't letting me lie on my back with my head to the right, because I have a funny flat spot back there. Hopefully it will get better before I go to see the special doctor next month. I'm getting very excited for the holidays. I heard Christmas music for the first time in a store today, and let me tell you, I'm super excited about this Santa Claus character. I will be writing my Christmas list very soon.
It's starting to get awfully cold here in Chicago, but I'm totally prepared.

Visiting with my family over Halloween weekend

Happy Halloween!!!

I can smile big, too.

EEEEWWWWW!!!

Punkin' time!

I like this view.

We had a lot of fun at the childrens' Halloween fair.

Miller, you are a very handsome lion.

Trying to eat hay.

We made good use of my activity center.

Miller and I are very good at sharing, which is nice since we both like the same toys.

To put things in perspective... same sink, same tub.
