Halloween!

Just because I'm too young to trick-or-treat doesn't mean I can't get dressed up!

Pumpkin patch

Aunt Stacey joined me, Mama, and Papa at the pumpkin patch today.

After a train ride, we walked around looking for the perfect pumpkin.

How about one of these?

Or maybe this one?

...pause for some pictures...

Here's a whole bunch of pumpkins.  Will any of these do?

We finally settled on the perfect pumpkin and brought it home.

Papa cleaned it out while I made sure it wasn't rotten.

Then I helped him carve out the face.

Once we were all done, I challenged him to a staring contest, but, boy, was he good at it!

I finally gave up and congratulated him on the win.

Aquarium of the Pacific

I spent the afternoon at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach with Mama, Papa, and Auntie Allison. 

We got to see all kinds of cool ocean animals...

...and I even got to touch a jellyfish!

My favorite part of the day was splashing my hands in the shark petting pool until I was soaking wet!

My least favorite was watching Papa feed the lorikeets...

What a fun day!!

11 months!

Only one more month until my 1st birthday!  I can hardly believe how fast this year has gone.  Me and Papa celebrated with breakfast in bed.

After breakfast I played with Lexi and then Papa and I took a nap together.

After I got all freshened up with a bath, Mama almost got me to pose for my picture.
