Turkey Birthdays and Baby Stuffing

Hey y’all, it’s me and my pal Bunny here, relaxing in 7-month-old style. Why am I wearing a jacket but not any socks? Uh I think it’s because I ate them!

Lyla Quinn’s birthday was a big hit. Daddy thought my drool towel was so cool that he got his own. I don’t think pink is his color though.

Aunt Carol and Diana Hepler took good care of me and let me chew on all of Lyla’s toys. It’s kind of like marking your territory, but with less peeing and no fire hydrants.

Oh no, Daddy disolved, and the only thing left of him is his pink drool towel! So I guess this means mommy is the good witch? That actually explains a lot.

Gosh those three look so cute and cuddly. And we babies aren’t bad either.

I also got invited to Carston’s 3rd birthday party at the gymnastics center. Here is a little boy rubbing my head for good luck, before he attempts the very dangerous Back Flip Into Foam Bricks!

 

When Daddy wanted a new laptop, Mommy said something about someplace freezing over? Well it’s Thanksgiving and it snowed so guess what? MacBook Pro!

Thanksgiving festivities at Aunt Nancy’s are becoming a tradition. I think I look pretty sweet in my new hair bows!

Baby soccer is wildly popular overseas. Did anybody notice who brought this purple ball? It looks like Daddy just passed it.

I’m pretty sure Isabella is a rogue double agent. How else can you explain how I kept ending up under the giant fluffy dog?

Mommy takes me to the Gymboree classes for extra fun, now that it’s so cold outside. She was trying to lure me through the tube and into the light. Ha, fat chance. I fell for that once 7 months ago, I’m not falling for it again!

Oh man I feel weird. I think that last bottle of formula went a little funky. I see floating lights everywhere!

Mirror mirror on the floor, when will I get some hair once more?

 

Hey Thatcher comer over here and stick this light bulb in your mouth…

Santa, all I want for Christmas is peace and harmony on the Korean Peninsula. And a dinosaur walker.

 

Check me out I am facing forward! But I can’t see anything because it’s so dark. This daylight savings business is kind of screwy.

I can sit in the shopping cart now! I’ll really miss having hundreds of dollars worth of formula and diapers piled on top of me.

 

Halloween Candy Overconsumption Fest 2010

Boo! Lyla and Isabella are cheerleaders, and I am a bumblebee!

Hey silly Daddy, nice melon you got there. And the pumpkin’s not half bad either. Zing!

Daddy’s pumpkin looks cool but I’m not sure if it’s menacing enough, sitting on the porch all by itself. I hope Mommy bought some candy for the intrepid trick-or-treaters who are willing to brave this spooky defense.
 
I am a scary little bumblebee! If you’re not careful then I BITE YOU!
 
Dad! You’re ruining my street cred. I can’t let my peeps see me sitting out here with you!
 

Not Quite Scared Yet

Hooray! I am six months old! Four Days Ago! And they just now got around to taking my picture! They are very busy! Woo hoo!

This bad doggie must be a spy. Spank his bum! He knows my name, my favorite color, animal, and food. It’s very suspicious.

When Daddy works from home he makes me wear this onesie that Gama got for me. I sit up in front of his work computer and he puts the phone headset on me so I can talk on his “boring conference calls.” I wonder why his coworkers haven’t notice yet?

Can you guess if this is drool all over my shirt, or if my new sippy cup has leaked? Uhh do you really need to guess?

I like to pretend Mommy's knee is a harley, and I'm cruising down the open highways, with the wind in my hair... uh now how about in my teeth?... uh no not so much... okay whatever there's wind alright! And I'm cruising, got it!?

Wow guys, this is like the best mound of dead grass I have ever seen! Lyla, see if we have enough money for a goat. Isabella, cover me. I'm going to pull this stalk out.

A Few Movies

We haven’t been taking as many movies lately, but here are a few. I think you’ll really like the last one.

Mmm Mmm Carrots

Baby Blaire Beach Bash

The pilot was "already quite high" so he asked me to fly the plane. It's no biggie, I fly with Daddy all the time, so I know how to do it. Funny though I didn't land on my head like I usually do?

Hold on tight to the pole Baby Blaire, we're about to travel 32 feet in record time on the monorail! Can you imagine if we had to walk this distance? After walking 500 feet already! Who knows what might happen?!

Finally we made it to the beach, just like Mommy and Daddy said. Look at those waves! It's just like the bathtub... only about a quadrillion times bigger! And it has fish. At least that's what Mommy kept looking for.

Daddy why do I always have to go in first, when we're hunting for stingrays?

In the background you can see the fancy hotel where we stayed. The maids are very nice and leave a special surprise for you, underneath the face soap.

The sun was setting so we accosted some nice folks from Pittsburgh to take our family photo.

Dang Daddy you make me look tan!

I like to float in the pool, it's calm and relaxing. Daddy did let me float in the ocean, but there aren't any pictures of that. I think the camera was one of the things he lost in the surf, before I almost floated away. [Daddy Editorial: In the interest of full disclosure, Mommy was not present at the time the child was placed into the ocean.]

Relaxing on the beach under the shade was great. Mommy and Daddy only fought for about 20 minutes about paying for the chairs and umbrella. I think it was a new record! Maybe I am mellowing them out?

Uhh can I get a little help here people? These things don't push themselves, you know!

Mommy, tell me another story about how wonderful Daddy is again...

But Grandma, I need all deese. [Daddy Editorial: This child is out of control and will be attending Shopaholics Anonymous meetings just as soon as she can say "My name is Blaire and I'm addicted to outlet malls."]

The DeHope family photo!  

Daddy likes the big bronze birds at the airport. They've been there since he was a little kid. I think that was like, in a previous century, or millennia, or something?

Time to fly back to our old Kentucky home, we had a great vacation, thank you all, we love you!

The Temperature Dips Slightly Below Scalding

My gosh it’s amazing… when you spin the clear plastic shell… the little yellow sun inside… DOES NOT SPIN?!

 

Babies love carrots! The better to see you with.

 

Mmm I still love the cereal, yes I do.

 

Is my slip showing?!

 

Mmm Mommy and I headed out to Indiana for a picnic and we picked up some of the finest red win this side of the Mason Dixon Line. Can you believe they carded me when we checked out? It’s okay, Mommy covered for me. Now I can get my drink on!

 

Mommy can I go on a motorcycle ride with Bear?

 

This is Natalie, she helped Mom take care of me. I think I need one of those cute headbands to hold back my golden locks of… oh heck who am I kidding, I’m bald as a bat.

 

Binky no evil, rattle no evil… uh hey guys I think Lyla Quinn ate her prop!

Who’s the cutest?!

 

Gaaahhhh help me I am being attacked by a giant schnoz!

 

Daddy thinks I am cute in my black biker outfit.

 

We went on another walk in the park and froze our tootsies off. Mommy gave me a kiss and cute hat to keep me warm.

It’s starting to get chilly but Daddy keeps me warm in my carrier.
