Blog Updates

My friend Dominic now has a blog! You can check it out here. My friend Emma has decided to discontinue her blog and is sending us pictures via email instead. Keep those pictures coming Emma.

I am a lucky girl to have so many wonderful friends!

Gus Loves Eri

Push Play to View

Inspired by Kian and Eri, I am putting up my own video. Mama asked me to say hi to Eri and I didn't exactly say that, but I sure had something to say.....(Mama talked to Eri's Mom about why this video is grainy and after some sage advice, Mama will do better next time.) By the way, for those of you that don't know who Eri is, he is my oldest friend. He came into the world one month and one day after me. You can see his blog here.

Ready for Rain

Here I am trying on my new raincoat.
It's a little big, but I know I will grow into it (much to Mama's dismay).

Rock On

Channeling Gene Simmons.....
Actually, my music preferences are a little more "If you're happy and you know it, touch your nose."

All Wrapped Up

Mama wears this when she gets serious about housework....I wore it to get serious about playing.

In The Wild

I tend to get a little crazy after my nap.

Does This Fit?

I found Papa's hat and tried it on for size.
I put it on myself and I was very proud.

Mama's Blog

For those of you that read Mama's blog, My Brand Name Baby, I just wanted to let you know that she has it up and running again. So, feel free to check it out at www.mybrandnamebaby.com. You might get some ideas for holiday gifts. Plus....starting after Thanksgiving, she is going to have her first giveaway. There is nothing that makes Mama happier than getting free stuff to give away to her friends!

Love you and I hope you like my latest pictures,

Hoop Dreams

Papa and I play basketball at the gym all the time now (we really do). Today was the first day I wore my Chuck Taylors and I started practicing sticking out my tongue so I can look like Uncle Billy when I shoot a basket. (I bet Grandpa Frank loves this picture.)

No Leaning Towers Here

I am getting pretty good at building towers.
Ta-Da!
Okay, but I'm only taking it out for a second, so make it "snappy".

Why....

....I'm occasionally called "Mop Top".

New Couple Alert!

Eri drools over a hot babe.
If only that pacifier wasn't in the way....
Typical! As I gave Eri a nice back rub, he stole my sippy cup and started drinking from it. Men!

So Pretty

Mama loves this picture.

Blog Alert

Hi Friends and Family,

I have added a new link to my favorites list. My 2nd cousin, Will, has a blog now. Will's Mom and my Mom are cousins and our Grandpas are brothers (and golf partners). Hi Will! I can't wait to meet you at the annual Kaiser Family Bowling Christmas Party!

Love,
gus

Swingtime

My favorite thing to do with Grandpa is.....
.....swinging!

Well, Hello

Zoo Zoo Zoo

I went to the zoo with Grandma and Granpa. We saw the giraffes, of course....
Is it just me or did Mama and Papa sneak out of here (and go to lunch at Nordstrom's) when I wasn't looking?
After you have walked the entire zoo, pushed your stroller everywhere and had lunch, it's time to take a break.

Gardening with Grandma and Grandpa

Mama and I visit the Topiary Gardens at least once a week, but while Grandma and Grandpa were here, I went with them (and Mama went shopping).

Larger than life!
That Grandma cracks me up (and is willing to do just about anything to get me to laugh)!
Grandpa, will I ever have as much hair as you?

Snack Please!

After a long day of playing outdoors with Grandma and Grandpa....
....I needed a snack! I was so hungry that I didn't even take off my jacket first.

I Prefer Treats!

I went trick-or-treating for the first time this year.
Mama thought that I would only go to 1 or 2 houses, but I went to at least 10. I loved it!
My favorite part was looking to see what I got each time.
I was worn out when it was all said and done and decided to sit and greet trick-or-treaters with Grandpa and Papa. (It may be time to retire that coat, Papa.) We had about 130 trick-or-treaters come to our house!
Nothing like being all hyped up on candy! (Just kidding, I still don't know what candy is and I'm not sure who ate mine. "Grandpa!")

Twinsies!

Move Over Martha!

I completed my first craft project! There are a lot more pictures, but I'm keeping them to myself for now because I am busy making gifts for Christmas and I don't want to give away any secrets.

Reunited and It Feels So Good

My friend, Eri, and I saw each other on Sunday after 4 months apart. We decided to dress up in our costumes, so I put my bee outift on...
....and Eri got into his turtle outfit.
We talked about old times and how much we've changed since last Halloween.
We had a lot of catching up to do.
And I had my second annual, Halloween meltdown.

Update

Hi Friends, I had my 15-month check-up at the Dr. yesterday. Health is good and I am 2.5 feet tall and 21 pounds. The percentiles are the same as 3 months ago. 50th for height and 10th for weight....tall and skinny despite my "toddler" posture which causes my tummy to stick out a bit these days.

Go Ducks!

The Ducks are ranked #4! You know what they say....go big, or go home!

It's Never Too Early

Mama and I recently started visiting colleges. Our first stop....Brown University. If you are going to go, you might as well go Ivy League. This is a picture of me, hanging out in the big common area where lots of people were studying.

I See Pumpkin Pie in My Future

In an attempt to wear Uncle Billy out, we also hit a pumpkin patch.


My standard, fake smile. I learned that one early.
