My first tooth!

I got to try on my Christmas dress early because mom wanted to take some pictures. I was so excited and my dress is really pretty!

I like to chew on candy canes...especially now since I have my FIRST TOOTH!!!

Then, we were decorating the tree and I found these blue lights! They were really neat looking!

I love mom's fingernail polishes!

6.5 months!!

No we haven't handed over the keys yet, but Baylee sure does like her car! It has a blinker and a horn and it sing songs all day long! But then she got a little "daring"!

She stood up all on her own! We swear that she doesn't want to crawl, just how to learn to walk! She loves to stand by the couch, chair, anything that will allow her to stand like a BIG GIRL!!!

She's loving every minute of growing up!!!

Sorry the video is sideways...oops!

Pumpkin Patch Kid

The other day, we took a car ride to Escobar's farm and went through the pumpkin patch. Mom got a crazy idea to make homemade pumpkin pies and bread so we gathered up some really good pumpkins...

On our way to the patch, we came across a corn field. Mom says that papa and nanna use to have lots of corn. It's just like what I saw in Minnesota!

We found our way to the pumpkin patch. Dad brought along a big wagon so we could put all our pumpkins in it. Since it was late in the season, we got to pick all the pumpkins we wanted!

I think these pumpkins were perfect. Mom calls me her little pumpkin. And trust me, these pumpkins made some great pies!

I LOVE MY FAMILY!

BOSTON

I just get home from going on a big airplane and mom and dad introduce me to the commuter train to Boston!! It was a lot of fun! It went pretty fast but I wasn't scared! I'm a big girl!

We visited "Cheers"...

...Dad rode a donkey...he mentioned something about democrats...

I

...And we saw the spot where Paul Revere was buried along the Freedom Trail!

Another cool day with the fam!

Getting Bigger!

"I'm assuming the position!!! Getting ready to C-R-A-W-L!!!!"

Then I wanted to help dad make some bread, but I wore myself out, I fell asleep in his arms! (That's not a helmet on my head, it's a mixing bowl!)

My First Airplane Ride

WOW! My first big airplane ride!! I was so excited to fly the friendly skies!! On my way to Minnesota, I was personally escorted into the cockpit to meet the pilots! Mom didn't even get to go in! The nice airline attendant let me go in there and see all the cool buttons! I wanted to push them all!!

Then I finally arrived in Minnesota after a long car ride from Chicago. I got to meet some of my relatives. I didn't know I had so many cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandparents! I even have a great-great grandma!! They were all so much fun! I was so tired after every day! It was hard work to keep up with everyone!

I even got to go out in the fields and watch my uncle Dan bring in some soybeans! He gets to ride a big tractor all day and all night just in case if it rains! He stays pretty busy! I wanted to go and sit by the tractor but mom said it was too dusty so it was best I stayed inside the truck.

Check out this video of my Uncle Brett giving me what he called a "Whisker Rub". I thought it was pretty funny...But you know me, as soon as the camera came out, I didn't laugh as hard :)

Dad sure did miss me! He says he's glad to have his girls home!!

Fun day with Kites...

LEAVES!!!

Today I had great adventures! We spent the day outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather! First, mom, dad, and Koda took me to the park where I went down the slide with dad and I also got to play in the leaves! It was so much fun!!

Then we went to Brenton Point with Uncle Jeff, Aunt Molly, Cousin D, and Alan! We flew kites and boy what a day!! Dad started flying a kite with a fishing pole; Uncle Jeff had the kite up so high and it broke the line and almost when flying into the ocean. Mom saved the kite though so we could have more fun!

Then Cousin D had to help untangle the messy lines! He did a good job! We played all day long,
I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!
