Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween.

Love your little monkey!!

One year later

Oh how the year has flown by. One year ago today I decided to start our family blog. So much has happened in the past year. When I started the blog Catie couldn't’t even sit up and now she is a toddler who loves purses.

We recently flew to New York City for 5 days to celebrate the wedding of Mark and Jayme (Colin’s cousin). We had an amazing time and Catie was terrific on the trip. Hands down, Catie’s favorite part about NYC was riding in the taxi cabs. If we lived there we would go broke on taking taxis to entertain Catie. She would tap the glass, hold the strap, laugh, smash her face on the window, and wave to people. To her Disneyland is taxi cabs!

We had a lot of fun at the wedding and walking around the city and the weather was amazing! On our last day in the city we walked around Central Park and Catie rode the carousel. It was neat for B (Colin’s mom Barbara) because her grandfather use to take her to ride the carousel in Central Park when she was younger. Her grandparents lived in NYC so she grew up spending time there. At first Catie was a little scared but towards the end she really liked it. After it she had an ice cream cone and then took a long nap. Don’t worry, she woke up just in time to go to FAO Schwartz. We all had so much fun and we can’t wait to visit again. Catie can’t wait for another taxi ride!

This past weekend we took Catie to the pumpkin patch. This year’s experience was much different then last year. Last year we tried to prop Catie up on the pumpkins for pictures and this year she was all over the place.

I was not sure if she would like the straw but she didn’t seem to mind. She loved riding in the wheelbarrow, standing up while holding onto the pumpkins and even trying to sit on them!

Next baby supermodel?

So I decided to enter Catie into the Gap Kids modeling contest. If you feel like voting for her go for it!

This is the picture that I submitted (thanks Dana)!
