Cruising!

Hey everyone!  Another month has flown by!  KJ is officially on the move.  She can crawl around pretty fast now.  She can pull up on anything and now she is cruising the furniture!  She has more balance every day.  I see her contemplating letting go of the furniture but then she chickens out.  I am sure walking is just right around the corner.  We got a leather coffee table to make things easier.  She loves it. 

KJ was 8 months old on Oct 15th.  And now she will be 9 months in a couple of weeks!  Here are some pics.

And then she grabbed a pen to play with...........oops!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Mindy finally got to come visit us on Oct 24th.  KJ & Mindy became the best of friends.  There was a lot of laughing, giggling, tickling, snuggling, smooching and fun times.  Oh and lots of picture taking.  Mindy's the best!

Mindy will be giving me all the photos taken this past week but here are a few to tease you.

 Here is another adorable photo of KJ

Now we all know how much I love Halloween.  Of course my daughter has to have good costumes!  Two of them in fact.  Aunt Barb got her a pink leopard costume and I had to put her in a beaver costume!  We took lots of pics even though it was hard to get her to look at the camera or smile sometimes.  Thanks Mindy for the awesome pics!

So on Sunday Oct 30th, Mike, Mindy, Barb and I went to Belmont Shore to walk around and see the doggie parade.  There are like 500 dogs in costumes.  Mindy was in heaven.    Here is our favorite dog,  happy as can be, letting everyone take his pic.

We even had a couple of strangers wanting to take KJ's picture of her in the pink leopard outfit.  Kinda strange but kinda cute. 

On Halloween, we celebrated Mike's birthday.  We went to the LB Aquarium and then had lunch at the YardHouse.  They brought him a chocolate souffle with a candle and KJ helped him blow it out.....well sort of.

Here is a video of KJ when she first started pulling up on the couch.




Here is one of her eating a teething biscuit for the first time



And my favorite video this month....Mindy feeding KJ....they had a lot of fun
