Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!

This is just my during the day Halloween outfit. Auntie Erica bought it for me. It's not a mean witch though. She is really friendly. Do you know what her name is? Let me tell you. It is LuLu the Witch. I like her.


Wow! Let me tell you what. Halloween is so much fun. I get to wear a cute outfit and people give me candy, it can't get much better than this.


Here I am with my Daddy in my Sugar Plum Fairy outfit.

We got to visit Daddy at work. It was fun because all his work people gave me lots of candy. Mommy said I have to options:

1. Save it for 3 or 4 years until she says I can eat it.

2. Give it to her and Daddy.

I think I will just give it to Mommy and Daddy because from what I hear Halloween comes every year so I'm thinking I'll just get more next year.

We got to visit Aunt Lisa. She had so many trick-or-treaters that she ran out of candy. Mommy's cousin Parker was shooting marshmallows at people. I'm glad he didn't get me.

Great Grandma Rae and Great Grandpa Pete stopped by to give Caden and me a special Halloween treat. yum yum

Watch me fly!!!

Grandma fixed my stem hat so that it would look just so.

I guess that's all. I can't wait for next year. I wonder what I will get to be. I bet something cute. Maybe I can be Belle from Beauty and the Beast since my name is sort of Belle.

I love you all,

Annabelle Rose

P.S. Do you think I look kind of like an Anne Geddes baby in my costume?

A Little Catch Up

Well, it looks like my mommy hasn't been doing such a great job keeping on this. She has promised me that she is going to try harder.

I got to carve pumpkins with Mommy, Daddy, and Erica.

Check it out.

I love to play on Big Dog.

I can sit in the cart all by myself!

Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Chicago last weekend. It was a lot of fun. We had a nice hotel, we went shopping, and we just hung out. I love being with Mommy and Daddy.

I played on the floor

I took a tubby in the sink. I liked it because I got to play with a spoon and other fun kitchen toys. Isn't that cool that our hotel had a little kitchen?

We went shopping. I was pretty warm and cozy in my stroller. Sometimes Mommy says she wishes she could be pushed in a cozy stroller. This is what I say to her when she says that, "Come on, Mom. Be thankful that you have legs to walk on. If I could walk, I would." After I tell her that then she realizes how silly she is being. Anyway she would look so huge in a stroller. Crazy Mommy :P

Halloween is coming! I am so excited (at least that's what Mommy tells me). I had my pictures taken at Sears in my costume.

I love you all. Can you believe that I will be 9 months old next week?

Love,

Annabelle Rose

P.S. I would like to give a shout out to Mommy's friend Kristin. She is such a nice person. I wish I could see her more. I hope she visits soon. Maybe we can visit at Thanskgiving time when we go to Detroit.

Happy Fall!!

Well, I didn't do much this week. I just sort of hung out with mommy and daddy. Mommy lost the camera for a short while so she wasn't taking pictures left and right as she usually does.

I will show you a super cute outfit I got in Chicago.

People tell Mommy that I am cute and it is sort of going to her head so she entered me in this contest that Gap is having. They are looking for a new baby model so I guess I am in the running now. If they choose me as a finalist you have to vote for me starting on November 20. That is forever away for me, but for you older people it is just around the corner. You can be sure that mommy will remind you to do it and how to do it. I mean, it would be kinda fun to be a Gap model. Mommy and I read that Suri Cruise is the newest Gap Model. Maybe we could be friends!

I really like it when mommy lets me play in the yard. I love being outside. They say that babies who are outside during the day for a bit will sleep better at night. It totally works for me. I don't know what we are going to do when it gets cold :(


Sometimes mommy takes a walk with her friend, Stephanie. I love it because I get to take a nice ride and check out the scenery. This is my new stroller. It is a baby jogger. I like it good enough even though it is a bit boyish. Mommy said that she would just put me in very girly colors when I was in it so people would know that I am a girl.

Well thats all for this time.

Love You,

Annabelle Rose

A Super Fun Week!

Hi Everyone,

I had a really fun week. For starters, I learned how to sit all by my self. I went to church last week and saw that all my friends were doing it on their on so I realized I had to step up my game and add another developmental milestone to my bag.
I like sitting all the time now. Mommy had to pull out some different toys for me to play with. I really like them because they are more fun than the toys I had because I could only suck on those.


Daddy put me in this box and pushed me around the house. It was super fun. I don't know why mommy and daddy keep buying me toys - all I need is a box!


This weekend Mommy, Grammy, Erica, Chelsea, and I went to Chicago for some shopping fun! It started out a bit boring so I took a little nap.


The car ride was really, really, really long so I had some fun pulling faces at Chelsea.

(Mommy thinks I look super duper cute in these pictures and I kinda have to agree :o)

We went to eat at this really fun restaurant. It was like a rain forest inside.
I got to look at some pretty fishies.


I tried on a silly Ellie Elephant hat.


Look at me in this funny bowl with froggies.


Erica and I tried on some beautiful monkey necklaces.


Grammy and I played with a fishy puppet.


Me, Mommy, and my aunties sat with the Zeke the Zebra's buns.


What a fun trip we had! I can't wait for next year!!



I hope you enjoy all the pictures. I told mommy that she might be over doing it a bit, but she said that you like to see how I am growing and what I am up to.


I love you all,

Annabelle Rose


I would like to give a shout out to Erica and Chelsea because we had so much fun shopping in Chicago. I know I was a bit fussy at times, but I think I did pretty good. I hope you had as much fun as mommy and I did. Love You!
