Goin' to the Lodge

This year for Howl-O-Ween, me and the cousins visited The Great Wolf Lodge! What you can't see in this picture is that my new cousin Aaron is riding right behind me in this very large and awkward stroller that Aunt Emily used to push the twins in.

One of our first stops was the Critter Cafe inside the Lodge to get some grub. I'm usually assigned to eat by Aaron, but he's always sleeping. Oh well, I guess I'll play with my bink.

I did have a pretty good view of Nicholas, Paitynn and Grammy under a tree. They're always entertaining to watch!

At night time they had trick-or-treating in themed rooms. You can see here that I'm wearing Halloween P.J.'s because I have a habit of ruining my Halloween outfit that Mom always is putting me in. I don't really like it, so I just do a little trick that sends the outfit

to the wash. He he.

The rooms were dark lit with black lights. Scooby Doo got a little to close for comfort.

What did you say Mom? It's just a guy in a dog suit, ok. Sorry about the face earlier Scooby.

There was a really cool Finding Nemo room, only if I had my costume on. Oh Drats!

Harry Potter is a phenomenon that I don't quite understand. I chose to refrain from having my picture with this weirdo.

I'm not sure how King Kong got such a hot babe. Either way it was nice to rest in her lovely arms while Mom snapped a pic. Ooh la la.

The Pirates were an active and entertaining bunch. I couldn't even look at Mom for a picture because that Davy Jones guy was looking at me all funny like.

Did I mention how we got to KC? This travelling side show of Mom, Me, Grammy, Aunt Emily, Baby Aaron, Paitynn and Nicholas all fit in the Yukon, Clampitt style. For Mom, Paitynn and Nicholas to get out of the car they had to climb through the front seat. It was pretty interesting and I had quite a view. Not more than 10 minutes away from the lodge on the way home it was clear that we all had a good time.

Poo at the Zoo

Apparently I got the wrong message. Mom said we were going to "Boo at the Zoo" and put me in a really cute orange and black outfit. That particular outfit did not make it to the zoo because I could swear Mom said "Poo at the Zoo" and my Halloween duds were no longer appropriate for wear. My cousins the ref and cheerleader obviously have better hearing, it must come with age.

I guess I didn't smell that bad. The ladies wanted to kiss me, like usual.

I made my debut on the red carpet and more people than just my Mummy were snapping photos at me. I wonder how much they'll make when they sell these shots to People magazine?

Since I couldn't have any of the candy that they were handing out, Mummy spent $1 on this plastic cup and I LOVED IT!

Landon, McKenna, Nicholas, Paitynn and I surely had fun at Poo, I mean Boo at the Zoo.

Finding Nemo

For all of you that have been wondering about my Halloween costume, your curiosity can now be relieved. I might add that this is actually a Nemo costume, not a smiling pumpkin!

Growing like a weed

It's a fact, I am 9 months old now. Whew, I've been breathing air just as long as I was cooking in Mom's belly. I went to the Dr. and weighed 20.8lbs and was 28 in long. That puts me in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. Just about perfect. Believe it or not this huge head was only in the 45th percentile. 55 percent of all other 9 month old boys have a head bigger than mine. Yikes!

Mia

So, I guess I will have to apologize for the my absence. My camera got left in KC, and I've been pretty busy on top of that. The good news is that while in KC, I got to see my betrothed, Mia. I hadn't seen her in about 4 mo (that's about 1/2 my life). We were able to get reacquainted over brightly colored blocks.

And before you know it, Mia plopped her diaper down in what some might say is a questionable position and grabbed my leg. Older women -Wow!

Oh well, she's H-O-T! I'm not complaining!

By two minutes into the trip, we were like peas and carrots.
