Happy Turkey Day Weekend

Thanksgiving in our house has been a full week celebration! We started it off last Sunday when we had a Thanksgiving dinner at Gram Gram Peters' house with Papa, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Joe, Cohen and Cooper. The day was also to celebrate Cooper's 1st birthday! He is walking now and I think it is pretty cool that for the next few months, we will be both be 1 years old!

Here are some cute photos from our day together...

A perfectly caught moment...my cousin Cohen doesn't always like me, like when I play with his toys or yell really loud, but in the moments when he thinks no one may see, he shows me acts of pure kindness....like sharing his fudge pop with me! (And if you are wondering about the phone cord wrapped around me...talk to my Daddy!)

Gram Gram and Teddy getting some cuddles


Our celebration continued because we had a lot of Daddy-time this week since Daddy had the week off from work. He watched Teddy and me a few times this week while Mom got out to get some things done. He took me for walks with him and the doggies, and on Wednesday, we all went on a walk as a family! We got all bundled up, made a few stops along the way to see friends, and topped it off with a nice lunch at Wegmans!
Yesterday was actually Thanksgiving and we celebrated the day with a fabulous feast at Grandma Peterson's house. My Uncle Gary, Aunt Jane and cousin Amy were there. So was my Gram Gram and Papa Peters! It was fun to show off all my trucks at Grammy's house and to spend time with people I love. I am thankful for all my family who loves me!
Teddy had everyone laughing yesterday when he got laughing over a silly piece of paper being waved in front of his face. How silly!! Funny how a baby's laugh can keep a whole room of adults laughing!!

Teddy Baseball

Teddy Baseball is a nickname that Daddy calls Theodore sometimes, and this blog seems to be all about Teddy since Mom has been taking lots of pictures of him recently. That alright...she already has like 3000 or so of me.

We had a fun weekend with some fun visitors. Jenna was in town again with Grandma Peterson. Aunt Amanda came on Saturday to see us and just hang out. She was surprised how big Teddy and I have gotten since she saw us back in August. Teddy sure is growing. I can't believe the stuff he is doing these days. He sits up by himself, and makes all sorts of sounds and noises. He is definitely starting to show his personality. I like to make him laugh, like today when I was tossing the ball around the livingroom. I am not sure who was laughing more, him or me. Daddy thinks he looks like Mommy, and he sure does seem to smile a lot like she does.

Just so you get a full appreciation for all his new action, here is a little video clip...

Family Time

Hello everyone!! How's it going? Things here are good! Last week was amazingly warm for November and we made sure to enjoy the warmer weather while it lasted. We spent a couple of days last week over at Grammy's house. On Thursday, we were able to eat lunch outside because it was so nice out. Here is Grammy feeding Teddy lunch out on her back patio. He really likes to get into his food these days.


This weekend was all about some family time. Daddy has been working long weeks, so the weekends are extra special because I get extra time with him. On Saturday, Daddy and I took the puppies out for walk. Mommy thought we looked so cute just getting ready for a walk that she had to take a photo of us. She is a little crazy with the camera somtimes.



Teddy is getting really big these days. It seems he is even quickly stretching out all his clothes. Check out his little toe peeking out of his pajamas.


I got to see Jenna this weekend, along with Uncle George. Jenna came down to stay with Grandma, so we were able to have dinner all together on Friday night and Teddy and I went to Grammy's on Saturday night while Mom and Dad went out to movie. I have lots of fun with Jenna! My favorite thing to do is to tease her by trying to knock over her blocks. The more she tries to keep me away, the more fun it is to try and knock them over...and it is super fun to watch Grammy laugh and laugh at our little battles.

On Sunday, Mom, Teddy and I went to visit our friends Sarah and Tully after church. I had so much fun seeing Tully and playing with his toys. We shared lots of laughs as we chased each other all around their house. It left me pretty tired out, but I couldn't seem to fall asleep for my usual nap when we got home. So, Daddy, Teddy and I shared a little down time in Mom & Dad's bed watching some "Boz the Bear" movies, my favorite! As usual, Mom couldn't pass up the chance to snatch a couple of photos of her boys.

Gone Fishin' for Some Halloween Treats


The Fisherman and the One Who Got Away

Yesterday was Halloween and we went to Canisteo to do some trick-or-treating. Mom Mom worked on costumes for us this week. I was a fisherman and Teddy was a fish. Pretty cute, huh?!! Grandma Peterson came with us to join in the fun.

First, we went to Papa Peters' house to get ready. I got right into my costume and was ready to go. Teddy wasn't so interested in wearing his fish head hat, because he has an ear infection. Mom had to take him to the doctor's in the afternoon which gave us a late start to our Halloween visits. Even though he didn't wear it for long, Mom was able to snap a few pictures of him.


We spent a little bit of time playing at Papa's house and even got a few Trick-or-Treaters, so I helped Dad pass out some candy.


Next, we headed over to Great-Grandpa and Grandma Young's house. My Gram Gram Peters was there along with Uncle Brett. Great-Grandpa really loved our costumes because he loves to fish! There were kids all over their street in costumes, so Mom and Dad took me down to a few house to say "Trick or Treat" and get some candy!


We made another stop at Aunt Sue & Uncle Dan's house where I saw my cousin, Peyton. She was dressed up as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. It was getting late so we headed back to Papa's to get in pajamas and start to whined down the night. It was a really late night (we didn't leave Papa until 10 PM), but a really fun one!
