I'm an old people lovin', costume partyin', rolling over animal!

Happy Autumn Everyone!

Today is the day after Halloween and I am trying to recover from a night of partying. Yesterday I spent the day at my baby-sitter, Rachel's, house. I was dressed up in a halloween outfit that my Papa said made me look like a cat burgler. Then, I packed myself up and headed over to Nana's, where I put on a clown costume that Mommy made. I didn't like it that much, but the pom poms on the front tasted good. Then, we headed to Elmbrook Estates, an assisted living facility, to trick or treat with Great Grandmother and Pa. Finally, we went to Grammy's house, where I visited with my cousins and tried to roll over. I'm a real party animal, but I guess I'm going to have to take it easy next time. Maybe I'll leave out the assisted living facility. Those people wear me out!

Breaking news! I finally rolled over! It was a harrowing experience. I had been working on it for a while, but just hadn't perfected my leg moves, so I decided to try it again on Saturday night. As I worked and worked, Daddy and Nana were watching the UT/Texas Tech game. She likes UT and Daddy likes Tech. Mommy was ignoring the whole lot of us and didn't see it happen. Nana and Daddy were too busy snapping back and forth at each other to really see it happen, but they figured it out pretty quickly when they noticed I was on my tummy and not on my back. After that, I was the center of attention and worked on it some more, until I wore myself out. I think that it was more exciting than the football game! I finally fell asleep in my mommy's arms, exhausted from my efforts.

The weekend of October 14th and 15th was so much fun! Mommy, Daddy, and I went to the cornfield maze and attended cousin Aimee's 5th birthday party. While we were in the maze, it started to pour rain on us and we had no way to get out! Finally, a nice man led us out of the maze through the emergency exit. The next morning, we all went to Covenant Presbyterian Church and I got baptized in an old, old gown. The minister took me around the congregation and told everyone all about me and afterward, all kinds of people came up to me and held me. I liked all of the attention, but it made me tired.

My goodness, a lot has happened since last time! I can't wait until I get to update you again next month. Maybe I will be crawling! Anyway, until then, I hope that everyone has a happy Thanksgiving! Remember to get out early the morning after and buy me lots of Christmas presents!

Love,

Evan
