Dear Tooth Fairy
Melanie now has one tooth coming in - the lower right front tooth. It's barely noticable but you can feel it when she's chomping down on your finger. Speaking of which, her teething has definitely caused a change in behavior but it's still tolerable; there's a lot of spit-up, a little more fussiness and a little less sleep. And a couple of times, we've cracked open the baby Tylenol and gave her a half dose to make her feel a little better. All in all though, she's taking it like a champ.

Melanie's First Halloween!
Melanie's first Halloween deserves a very special Jack O' Lantern, don't you think? So, without further adieu, I present to you, Baby Mel O' Lantern - complete with pacifier!

Green Beans!
Brian gave Melanie green beans for the first time today, and unfortunately I wasn't there to watch it/record it. But Brian said she took it like a pro and didn't make the yucky faces that we were looking forward to. Oh well, we'll get it one day!

I'm Squashing It!
Yup, I have discovered Squash. And it's not bad, I guess. I'm not totally psyched about it like I am sweet potatoes but it is food. So I can add squash to my food experiences of foods: carrots, sweet potatoes and bananas. Next up is pears - and I think I'm going to like them!
Mommy is worried I'm a little behind in my food development. We haven't even tried out all the flavors on the 1st Step and according to the internet, I should be on 2nd Step foods. But, as Grandma pointed out, "It's not like Melanie's starving..." There's plenty of time for all those fantastic flavors!

Melanie in Perry
Hello my adoring fans! Melanie here, sharing with you my recent trip to see Great Grandpa and Grandma in good ol' Perry, Florida.
You see, Gramie wanted a vacation from me (Can you believe that? A vacation from perfect, adorable, sweet ME! It's ridiculous!! ...anyway) so Mommy and I were going to spend a long weekend together. On Thursday evening, after Mommy realized we already did all our usual weekend chores and we'd have nothing else to do, Mommy called Grandma to see if she wanted a visit. Well of course she did!
So Friday morning, after my morning snack of cereal and carrots, Mommy and I made the trek to Perry. I was good for the first 3 hours of the trip but then I got a little hungry and I needed a new diaper. So Mommy had to pull over the side of the road (no convenient stops in the middle of nowhere) and administer some quick NN (that's Ninny Nourishment to you). But Mommy started to worry that someone would pull over and stopped my feeding short so we could get back on the road. Big Mistake. Mommy had to pull over again a little further down the road, and then again at the Perry Walmart. While I was enjoying my NN in the Walmart restroom, I looked up at Mommy and said, "You take me to the nicest places!"
We arrived at G-Grandpa's house mid afternoon and hung out till Grandma came home. I was so excited to see her! Grandma scooped me up and Mommy disappeared to get our room in order for the weekend. I giggled like crazy at Grandma saying over and over that I was getting so... BIG and tall! ...BIG and tall! Then we all just hung out until my bedtime.
Saturday morning Grandma woke us up to do my very first yard sale! It was a ton of fun and I must say, I got some pretty cute duds. Then we went back to Grandpas for some more chilling out. Mommy tried to do all the house chores so Grandma and I could spend some valuable 1 on 1 time together. We took some photos of me and Grandma out in the fields (pictures to come). Then Grandma made Mommy a cream cheese pound cake (Mommy's favorite, apparently).
Sunday morning and it's time to leave. Grandma real quick helped us out by finishing out Melanie's Halloween costume, then we were on the road. And I was a little hellion again! I slept very well in the first leg of the trip - but the second half - ooooohhh boy! We stopped at McDonalds and two rest areas to try to keep me happy.
When we got home, Mommy had enough of me! But luckily, Daddy missed me terribly and stole me away. :) I loved being with Grandma and G-Grandpa, Perry is awesome and I was adequately spoiled, but I sure do like coming home to my Daddy!
