While we were in New Mexico, I got to go to my very first parade! Aspenfest is a celebration of the Aspens turning gold in the fall. As a part of the celebration, Ruidoso has a huge parade. It was a lot of fun to watch the parade. I even got to see Smokey Bear and Santa. They were both there!
Mommy, Nana Jo, & I went up to mommy's old school to watch a volleyball game on Saturday. As we walked from the parking lot, I found a LOT of leaves to crunch. I almost had more fun crunching the leaves than I did at the game.
After my baths at night, I don't like to put on my pjs. I always try to escape and really enjoy running through the house (wherever we might be) in my birthday suit. I didn't see it coming tonight but daddy caught me and wrapped me all up in a towel before I could bolt out of the bathroom. If I can't run in my birthday suit, I'll scoot around all wrapped up like a burrito in my towel...and then eventually give into the pjs.
It was much cooler in New Mexico than it has been at home. I was constantly saying "sides"...meaning I want to go outside. I loved to play on the deck. Nana Jo & Grampa have a huge deck that overlooks the mountains. I would grab Grampa's golf club and push it all around the deck. It was great fun.
I decided there is no slippy floor that I can't slide on. Nana Jo thought it was pretty nice of me to dust her floor for her. I thought it was pretty nice of me too.
Our gate at the airport was right next to a great play area. Lucky for me, they had a car for me to drive. How do I look? I think I need one of these.
Walking with Grampa to get our luggage. Roswell has a REALLY small airport so we didn't have to walk far.
We were starving so we went to eat at Furr's (a family tradition).
Yumm yumm yumm. I love me some Furr's.I posted earlier that I love the word "hat". I found something new today to be my "hat"....my shorts. After mommy changed my diaper, I kept trying to put my shorts on my head as a "hat". With a little help from mommy, I was successful. How fun!
Last weekend I got to hang out with my older cousin Caleb. He is so much fun to hang around. He played with me until we were both just too pooped to play any longer.
Mommy bought me a couple of new toys at a consignment sale. While exploring the new toys, I discovered that you can really see what they're all about when you get down eye level with them. Since I figured this out, I've been going around and looking at all kinds of things this way. It's quite exciting!
The word of the day is "hat". Everything is a hat. This afternoon mommy was reading and her magazine was my "hat". At dinner, my fork was my "hat" and my potato was my "hat". Mommy didn't let me use my fork or potato as my hat but once. She told me I had bad table manners when I put my utensils and food on my head. Before bed daddy showed me his hat. This was a real hat and I loved wearing it. 
I love to take a bath. The minute I finish eating, I start telling daddy, "bath". Daddy has to hold me back as he fills up the tub. I've almost made it into the tub, clothes and all, but daddy always seems to catch me. It's just so much fun. Bubbles, balls, duckies...what else could you want? Here are some pictures of my bath tonight. 
The time between my bath and bedtime is the best time ever. I play with everything I can before it's time to head to bed. I run around between the living room and kitchen and get into everything I can. Tonight I found a ring from my baby gym and the only place it should go is around my neck. What fun! I love it!
I have found a new favorite food...cottage cheese. I love it. It may be messy but it sure is good for me.
