Hangin' with my cousins

A few weekends ago (October 16th) we went to Springfield MO to visit some family and go to Sasha and Eddy's wedding. On Saturday morning Mama and GiGi took me to play with my cousins, Ethan (2) and Gabi (1). I had SO much fun playing with them and all of their toys!









Ethan and Gabi wore me out, I had to go back to Auntie Stacy's house and take a nap on her comfy couch!!

A musician in the making








One of Tori's favorite things to do at GiGi's house!!

While the cats are away..

the mice will play..or while Daddy and Mama are away, Little Tori will play ;)

While Mama and Daddy were in Chicago Sister Dog and I got to stay with Papa G and GiGi. I had SO much fun and GiGi took lots of pictures to prove it!!






What kind of flowers are these?? We shall call them Tori Mums. While Papa Gary planted the mums GiGi and I supervised!


We had dinner on the back deck since the weather was so nice


I played in GiGi's kitchen cabinets


We had snack..I do love to eat!


I tried to help Papa fix his power washer, he thought I was too little to really help though.


Bertha and I played with leaves in the backyard..well..I played and she looked at me like I was silly..she is the one that is silly if you ask me :)


We sat back and relaxed


touched and tasted a pinecone for the first time


I love to smile pretty for GiGi


As you can see I had a AWESOME weekend at Papa and GiGi's house. I can't wait for the next time I get to stay with them!!!

**side note: I did one more really fun thing but Mama thinks it needs its own post so stay tuned**

9 months old

Tori celebrated 9 months last week on the 12th. Bryan was home that night so we did the nightly routine together. During dinner we reflected on how we no longer eat and have quiet adult conversations while eating and now have a chatter box who bangs on anything and everything she can get her hands on sitting with us each meal.

After dinner Tori got in the tubby where we talked about how much of dare devil we have on our hands. We made it nine months before we had to start baby-proofing everything. Tori now wants to stand in the bathtub and reach for the toys she has thrown out, or try to play with the drain. I am thinking it is almost time to start using the big tubby.



Then we got our jammies on and played in her room for a bit before bed time. Tori loves pulling up to and standing next to the gliding ottoman..even though it never stays still she goes right for it every night. Mama took some pics while she was playing with her nursery rhyme toy and her Elmo is SO BIG book!






And last before bed we took some pictures with "Mr Bear in the Chair". Tori is much bigger than the bear these days. She would much rather be on the floor playing or getting into the dresser drawers but we still took a few good pics :)
