We went back to Sears this morning for our reshoot on the halloween pictures.  It was a lot of fun.  It took me a few tries to warm up and really get some good pictures going but we got a bunch of great ones.  Mommy is having issues getting them posted here so try again later.  Maybe she'll figure it out eventually.  She doesn't remember it being this difficult last time we were there.  I'm a great Nemo!!

Afterwards, we met Daddy for lunch and saw Uncle Johnny.  Now, I'm napping!

Mommy and I went to Sears today and she brought my Nemo costume with her.  I couldn't understand why until she made me put it on.  I was really ok with it.  I was Nemo!!!  What I didn't like was some strange lady telling me where to stand and to look at her.  I only wanted to hug and hold my Mommy. We got ONE crappy picture and decided to reschedule.  I wasn't having any of it.  We'll try again on Friday in the early morning.  We should have gone to our playdate afterall this morning.  Mommy didn't know I was going to be so crabby.  I was fine walking around the mall afterward my breakdowns. 

We traveled to Pennsylvania today to visit with our friends from Philadelphia.  We loaded up the car bright and early, stopped and got some breakfast and started driving.  I missed all the scenery because I was watching Nemo.  I can say Nemo now.  No more Wee-o.  We found a pumpkin patch almost half way between us and spent a long time playing.  We got there a little early so kind of checked things out before hand and then we saw Scott, Maria and Andrew pulling in.  We ran up to them and gave them hugs.  So great to see them again.  Mommy met Maria on whattoexpect.com when she was pregnant with me and has been friends ever since.  We got on a hay ride and went for a bumpy ride.  I was really mad because I didn't want to sit still, I wanted to run around and play with the goats.  Finally we got moving and I realized it was pretty fun and I was curious as to where we were going.  We bumped along a corn field and then saw the pumpkin patch.  We entered the corn maze and started running.  Andrew was screaming much of the way.  We ran around alot.  Found a bunch of dead ends and ran around some more.  Had a snack and then started to get cranky so Mommy had to carry me out.  Then we headed to the pumpkin patch to pick out a winner.  I sat on a bunch of pumpkins and said "cheese" for the camera A LOT.  Mommy took over 120 pictures and Maria took over 90 pictures.  That's a lot of pictures and too many for the totsite to hold so we'll make a montage later on.  Keep checking back and head to the video page to look for it.  I did a lot of hugging and kissing my friend Andrew.  He also is a great gentleman!!!  I fell over a pumpkin and he fell over so I wasn't so embarrassed for falling.  We did a lot of jumping together too.  He's a great jumper.  He is practicing his animal noises and is catching up to me. 

I found a really neat place to play that was a hay maze.  I could run and jump and climb the hay bales.  It was really neat, except I left with a lot of hay in my diaper.  Mommy had a hard time cleaning it out.  I had to have a bath when I got home to get rid of it all.  I also have hay rash on my belly from sliding around in the hay.  Mommy hopes it doesn't itch too bad.  Her hay rashes were always itchy when she got them from throwing bales at the zoos. 

For dinner, we stopped at a Pizzaria.  I had some, but was more interested in running around and playing with the salt shakers.  After we were all done eating, the grownups  sat around talking and watching me and Andrew literally run circles around the joint.  Mommy got some of it on video too.  We were both soooooooooooo tired that we kept falling down.  Andrew fell down a lot more than I did.  Mommy kept laughing at him in the corn maze because he's such a City Boy.  Apparently, he can only walk on cement.    I ended up falling down a lot too though.  I kept tripping over the corn stalks.  At one point, Andrew was afraid to push a stalk out of the way so he could pass through.  Really, all he had to do was blow on it, it was so flimsy and small and he was afraid of it.    It's all good!!!  Just imagine the fun we'll have NEXT YEAR!!!!  

It really was a great day, even Daddy had fun.  He really likes our friends from Philly, even if they are Flyer fans.  AHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Today is my friend Braedon's birthday.  He turned TWO YEARS OLD TODAY!!!!  We met up with him and his parents and some other friends from the mommy board at Chuck E. Cheeses.  Mommy said it's the first time I've ever had pizza for breakfast!!  We got there at 10am and had pizza right away.  YUMMY!!!  I even got my own cup with fruit punch in it instead of just plain ol' boring water.  I rode the merry-go-round and  played some games.  My favorite game was punching over the ducks.  I played that 6 times!!!  What fun it was until I fell off the merry-go-round because I was trying to climb on all by myself and didn't wait for help.  I donked my head pretty good and it was a whine fest from then out.  We left shortly after and ran over to Sam's Club and I got to run around there too. 

Mommy got word that Grammie and Grandpa Ron were driving to Letchworth State Park today for a craft fair.  Mommy decided that since they were going to be so close that we would join them.  It was a long ride there and I got to watch Nemo a lot.  Silly machine kept resetting itself so because Mommy was driving she couldn't find the spot where we left off at. 

We ended up getting stuck in traffic in Mt. Morris and went 4 miles in ONE HOUR!!!  I was getting sick of sitting around and fussed a lot but what can you do when you are stuck in traffic.  After we found a parking spot right up front, we went to the bathroom and met up them.  I was really excited to see them even though I didn't really show it. 

We ran around and saw lots of cool stuff.  I got two new puppy dolls and got to play in the drinking fountain because it was a hot, October day.  There were a ton of people there and all I really wanted to do was play with all the puppies that we saw.  Let me tell you, there were a ton there!!!!!  I did a lot of screaming and yelling and had a great time.  Check out the photo section for the pics of me playing in the water.

Mommy said I'm the cutest thing in the world.  This morning, Daddy got me up and brought me downstairs.  I was watching Mickey Mouse on Disney when Mommy turned around and I was gone.  She heard my footsteps UPSTAIRS!!!  She came to find out what I was doing and I came out of my room with my blankie in hand.  Silly Daddy didn't bring it downstairs with us so I had to go get it. 

We had french toast and milk for breakfast and then we got dressed right away.  Apparently, we were going out already.  Mommy brought some story books for me because it was a pretty long ride.  We went to Iron Kettle.  It's a really cool Halloween farm. 

I'm not very good at posing for pictures anymore.  Mommy gets frustrated with it.  We met up with our friend Braedon and his parents Melissa and Lee.  We hung out in the barn with the animals for awhile.  I saw and heard lots of goats, cows, chickens, roosters and there was a donkey but I didn't see it.  Mommy did though.  My friend Braedon is afraid of the animals.  I'll have to hang out with him more often to show him just cool animals are.  He has a cat and dog at home so we are wondering why he's afraid. 

After we hung ot with the animals, we ran through a corn maze.  It was really cool.  I just kept running and running and running.  We ran into a few dead ends and went around a few circles.  We ended up following a kid and found the exit.  Mommy was a little disappointed that we weren't in there longer, but I was starting to get bored and didn't really want to walk anymore. 

Then we found a really cool playground that had a train, school bus, plane and firetruck to play on.  I loved the train and kept going back.  I was pushing kids out of the way so I could play.  Mommy let me go and didn't hover today.  As long as she could see me, she said it was cool that I was climbing.  I did try to climb the one ladder though and Mommy wouldn't let me do that.  Said I'd fall on my head.  My friend Nicholas and his parents Steve and Debbie came finally.  It's always great to see my friends.

We had some snacks and then went through a haunted house.  It was pretty cool and not scary at all.  Lots of skeletons and black lights and it was really dark but I was with my Mommy and Daddy.  They weren't scared, so I wasn't scared.

Then we went and picked out a pumpkin.  I  couldn't decide.  First I found one, then found another and then picked another.  It's so hard to just pick up one.  Then I found the most perfect round one.  Mommy got a lot of good pictures.  Check out the montage on the video page for my pumpkin.  Mommy said I get to color on it.  We probably aren't going to carve it though.  We'll have to remember to bring my pumpkins to Buffalo with us when we go for Halloween.  It's going to be so much fun. 

The weather couldn't have been any better and I tired myself out by running around all over.  It was a great morning with our friends.  We even ran into Pauline and Jada there.  HI Friends!!!!

We met up with Lynn and her two kids Cassidy and Ty at the zoo today.  What fun.  They haven't been there in a really long time and I got to show them around.  Mommy told them all about animals and some really cool traits about some of them.  Did you know that the binturong can use his tail like a hand??  Crazy!!  Mommy put a quarter in the machine and let us feed the goats again.  I really like doing that and baaaaa-ing at them.  Misha the tiger was playing in the pool with his ball.  How fun!!  Daddy went with us.  I really like it when Daddy gets to do fun stuff with us. 

We had lunch at Yanni's.  Our favorite waitress wasn't there tough.  I had some of Mommy's iced tea.  She also put her lemon in my sippy water.  How yummy is that?  We also had to stop at CVS and I got to run around and rearranged some of the shelves.  Mommy really likes it when I do that!! 

Sorry there are no pictures.  Mommy forgot the camera.

We met up with our friends Jess and Myles today at Kirkwood Park.  Jess is going to have a new baby in December.  Mommy said after she has the baby and she gets settled in, we are going to go visit so I can see a newborn up close to prepare me for our Nemo. 

After a little bit, Hollie showed up with Alyssa and Alex.  Mommy was surprised to see Alex, accused him of playing hooky from school today but they have a long weekend.  It was nice playing with them until I fell off the swing.  Mommy turned her head for a second while I was swinging on the big kids swing and down I went.  OUCH!!  I cried a lot, but I didn't get hurt.  I was just scared.  Mommy gave me some great hugs and Jess gave me a few pats on the head.  I felt much better after some lovin'.  I kept climbing up the big big kids slide but wouldn't slide down.  Mommy yelled at me and told me I can't keep doing that.  Then she made me go down the little kids slide and I said "weeeeee"  Then I remembered how much fun it was to go down the slide.  I kept climbing up and sliding down.  We had a good time at the park!

Then we drove over to the pet store to get some bird food.  I got to see some bunnies, baby parrots, finches, rats, mice and fish.  I really like the saltwater room.  That's Mommy's favorite too.  Someday she would like a saltwater aquarium!!  Someday... 

We have a lot of busy stuff coming up with our friends so there hopefully will be a ton of pictures and lots of updates.  Mommy is especially looking forward to our trip to Pennsylvania on the 18th to see our great friends from Philly!!  Watch for updates!!!
