CORNBELLY'S FESTIVAL, OCTOBER 21, 2006

Jon and I thought it would be nice to take Stefanie to Cornbelly's Halloween/October Festival. We all had a lot of fun. Stefanie met a Robot who was handing out halloween candy, Mickey Mouse and Piglet. We took her on a few rides, we went into a haunted Dinosaur, (for kids), watched pot belly pig races, and then went to lunch afterwards. We thought we would go to the pumpkin patch, but it turned out to be pumpkins already cut off the vine. We will try to do the pumpkin patch tomorrow. Here are photos from today.

"Mickey I love your shoes"!























"Mommy has this fascination and love for sheep, Baah".

CORNBELLY'S FESTIVAL, CONTINUED

Stefanie discovers Hay for the first time.


This looks interesting....


Hmm... not sure if I like this taste.

CHUCK E CHEESE, OCTOBER 20, 2006

On Friday, I decided it would be fun to take Stefanie out for lunch with my sister Theresa. Stefanie had a great time at Chuck E Cheese. Stefanie loves the singing and music. After lunch, we put Stefanie on a few rides. She is just now starting to enjoy getting on rides.

FAMILY UPDATE

The ride is over. Stefanie would rather wave to
the horses while standing on the ground.


Finally, clapping!




Stefie is not sure about a second ride.




"Mommy, I do not think I like this".

Stefanie and her leaves.


Out for a walk with Daddy

Stefanie had a three month check up with her Doctor on October 9 and she now weighs 19 lbs, has 10 teeth and is doing extremely well. Stefie continues to run everywhere exploring everything.

On October 14, Jon, Theresa and I spent the day together and Stefie rode the Carousel at South Towne Center Mall for the first time. We had a great day and Theresa was kind enough to watch Stefie for us that evening. This was the first time Jon and I went out alone without Stefanie. We had a really nice dinner at Ruth Chris Steakhouse.

STEFANIE'S HALLOWEEN PORTRAITS

Here are Stefanie's Halloween Portraits taken today. Stefanie is going to be Minnie Mouse for Halloween as you can see. We had an interesting photo shoot with Stefanie, and she loved posing so much when we were finished she wanted to continue. Unfortunately, Kiddie Kandid can only keep eight photos and we had to delete eight other photos. All of Stefanie's photos were really great and I was very disappointed we had to delete photos.

Did I mention Miss Stefanie can say Adios (Goodbye) in Spanish. She picked this up the first time I said it to her. I was telling Aunt Theresa about this when all of a sudden Stefanie said it to her in Spanish. I guess we are working on three languages all at once. Although Stefie understands Goodbye in Mandarin she cannot say the word.

Lately Stefie seems to be doing her own thing lately and she gets up at around 5 or 6 am. Jon and I cannot figure out what happened when she was sleeping from 7 to 7. I hope she goes back to her regular schedule soon!

HALLOWEEN PREVIEW

Here is a preview of part of Stefanie's Halloween Costume. Tomorrow I will post the photos of her Halloween portraits taken at Kiddie Kandids today. Can you guess what she is going to be??

THE CRAZY CORN MAZE

I am not really sure what to say about the Corn Maze. It was a very different experience for all of us. I am not sure who came up with the idea to run around in the dark on uneven dirt for hours with nothing but a flashlight. Oh what fun we had! Theresa and I thought it would be fun to do something different and none of us have ever been to a Corn Maze.

This maze was cut out into the shape of the United States of America. We were told to find 8 signs and then find the exit. We walked around in the dark for about an hour and a half. Yeah, that's right and Stefie did not know what to make of this since it was past her bedtime. She decided she had enough and went to sleep since it was dark anyway. We all had fun until it started to get pretty cold. This was definitely something different for all of us never growing up around farms.
Here are photos from today.

SET

GO!

This is too much fun!

AUNT THERESA'S BIRTHDAY!!

September 29, was my sister Theresa's birthday. We celebrated the old fashioned way with cake, and then we went to a Corn Maze. No party is complete without everyone having to wear a party hat. The new party hat rule took place the minute Stefanie arrived home. Every Birthday party is not complete without a hat! We all do it just for Stefie.




Stefie cannot wait to taste this cake.






Is this buttercream frosting I taste?
