Thanksgiving Weekend

We celebrated a feast fit for pilgrims at Uncle Joey's and aunt Sherri's house.  While I ran around with all my cousins, Logan was getting lots of attention. 

After Thanksgiving, me and cousin Elena took off to the Providence Children's Museum

We were having a ball playing with the...Trucks:

Water works:

And of course...balls.

We've got to teach Elizabeth how to play with the balls and not to eat them.  It's like this:

Daddy made me take a picture with him in this chair.  Shockingly, the big, chair lady didn't scare me.

After a busy day, me and Logan went home and watched the Pats game.

Logan is 3 months!

Logan is getting big quickly. At 3 months he can smile and coo.

He likes to watch football and chat with Daddy.

And help Mommy in the kitchen. 

Florida here we come!

A few weeks ago we took our first vacation as a family of four. Flying with me and my baby brother was a new adventure for Mommy and Daddy. Everyone was ready to relax once we reached our destination- Nana and Grandpa's house in Bonita Springs.

We spent our first few days basking in the Florida sun. I loved swimming in the pool.

And running through the kid's splash pool. 

One night we headed to the beach to watch the sunset. Grandpa and I went for a walk along the shore. 

Mommy and Logan had some cuddle time on the sand.

And we all enjoyed the beautiful weather and setting. 

The next day Auntie Diana and Uncle Tarn joined the party and we all headed to the beach. 

We built a sand city and I was in charge of guarding the pool.

Logan decided to work on his tan.

On Friday Mommy, Daddy and Logan drove to Key West to attend Joanna and Bill's wedding. They left me home with Nana, Grandpa, Auntie Diana and Uncle Tarn. They had a lot of fun activities planned, like a trip to the zoo!

I loved watching the tigers play with a ball.

The next day we checked out the Children's Museum. 

Auntie Diana and I made some lunch in the kitchen.

I learned all about the season of Fall and I had fun raking leaves.

 

Next we checked out what Winter has to offer and had a quick puppet show. 

Meanwhile, Logan was having fun with Mommy and Daddy in Key West. They had lunch by the water...

at a cool outdoor spot with a funky bar. Dollar dollar bills y'all.

Then everyone got dressed up to celebrate Bill and Joanna's special day.

Logan was the smallest wedding guest but that didn't stop him from having a great time.

While we did a lot of fun things during our vacation, my favorite had to be spending lots of quality time with my pal Sophie. I think she was sad to see me go...

Happy Halloween

This year I fully embraced Halloween. First, I had to decide on a costume. It was a hard choice but the dinosaur won because I love to ROAR!.  Then I attended two Halloween parties early in the week to practice. 

Mommy, Logan and I had a blast at a Halloween gymnastics party.  

I played in the ball pit with Captain Kirk from Star Trek. 

And caught a wagon ride with Raggedy Ann. 

After the Halloween parties I was ready to try my hand at trick-or-treating. We all headed to the Harbor to start the night.

There were lots of kids in costumes and all the store owners handed out candy. I don't know what candy is yet. But I had fun going door-to-door and getting treasures for my pumpkin bucket. 

Once it got dark, we headed home and stopped by our neighbors house to compare costumes. 

 I Love Halloween! I can't wait to do this again next year!

Logan's Christening

Last weekend we celebrated a special milestone in Logan's life. With the help of his godparents, Auntie Lauren and Uncle JJ, Logan was Christened. He did great and didn't cry at all. 

Nana and Grandpa Picariello came from Florida to take part in the festivities.

We had our family over to the house for a party following the mass. I had so much fun playing with all my cousins. 

While some of us played some hide and seek

Elizabeth played it cool.

Altogether there was ten of us kids. As you can imagine, it was mayhem as we tried to pose for a picture with Auntie Kathie.

Wait, we are missing one! Abigail decided to pass on the photo and grab some lunch instead. 

Later we went to the playroom which was better known as the 'Danger Zone' among the adults. 

Not to worry though, I left Logan in good hands with Joey and Emme.

Fall Fun Superblog

Me and Logan have been out and about taking advantage of the Fall season.

We met up with my friend, Josie, for Scituate's Fall festival.  I began plotting my move on Josie by holding her hand.  

Then I went in for a kiss!

I think my dinosaur costume won her over.  Chicks can't resist a toddler in uniform. As a big brother, I felt compelled to share this knowledge with Logan.

If I'm not wearing my Dinosaur costume, I've got my blue vest on.  It goes well with my pajamas for trips to the supermarket.

 and for trips to the apple orchard to go apple picking.

Somebody needed to point momma, auntie Diana and Uncle Tarn in the right direction to find the apples.

After selecting a few choice apples, I got to play in a bouncy house for the first time.

Then we played with the animals. Animals are a favorite of mine.  

 I know that chicks say 'peep.'

and sheep say 'baaaaa.'

I also love trucks.  Grandpa and Grandma brought me the Fire Station to become a junior firefighter. I got to drive the fire engine.

and play in the Ambulance.

and learn how to use the Hoses

Then I met Sparky.  I was totally star struck. Sparky and I are buds.  We even have the same hat.

Fall has been full of fun.  Logan and I have had lots of visitors too:

my cousins, Elena and Elizabeth:

and my main man, Elias

and Aunt Pat and Uncle Rick

Fall is is also perfect for running.  Dadda and I ran in a road race.  We were the first team with a stroller to cross the finish line.  It was awesome.  To prepare, Dad stretched and I colored.

 And while Dadda ran, I rested.

 Fall has been super fun and very busy.  Logan and me need some time to relax.  Logan will rest.

I'll catch up on my current events

and momma will enjoy a refreshment.
