Happy 1st Birthday Sean!

We took Sean to the Baltimore Aquarium for his 1st birthday. He LOVED seeing the fish, sharks, turtles, birds, snakes and everything else! He rode in a backpack with his Daddy - had had a great view of everything. We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory - and they gave him a piece of Pumpkin Cheesecake with a candle in it - and he LOVES cheesecake & whipped cream. All in all - a great 1st birthday! His party is on Saturday - so he has more fun to look forward to!

Happy Birthday Sean! Love, Mommy & Daddy

Sean's 1st Halloween!

Sean had a great 1st Halloween! He was a dragon - and started his day with a parade at "school" (daycare) (See him in the front seat of the buggy cart) which his Grammy & I attended. Then, this evening - he was in the front yard to greet the first trick-or-treaters and he went trick-or-treating to our next door neighbor's house - who thought he was the cutest dragon ever! He also "helped" Mommy & Daddy carve the pumpkins and painted a pumpkin in "Art" class at "School".

Sean has learned to Multi-Task

Sean has discovered if he carries things like his bottle in his mouth - it leaves his hands free for other things....

Sean's First Visit to Chuck E. Cheese!

Sean attended his first Chuck E. Cheese birthday party on Saturday. My friend, Erika, has twin girls who are turning 3 this weekend - Kate & Emma. Sean had a BLAST in the "little" kid section - riding the Clifford Dog ride and climbing up and down the slide. He got his picture taken on the Chuck E. Cheese ride - and got to watch Chuck E. Cheese sing Happy Birthday to the girls - he also LOVED their chocolate birthday cake. All in all, it was a GREAT time for him (and mommy & daddy too!).

Sean is Walking!

Sean is Walking!! Although he still crawls, he prefers to walk - and has learned to bend over, pick up something, and continue on his way. The 2 videos I'm attaching show him in action. I must warn you, one of the videos was shot sideways (apparently Mommy hasn't mastered the whole video thing yet!). Enjoy!

The pumpkin patch....with no pumpkins but Santa was there!

Today we took Sean to his first pumpkin patch. We decided on the Boyds Bear pumpkin patch since it was close to the house. They had advertised a pumpkin patch, hayrides, and a corn maze. We arrived at Boyds Bear - and purchased tickets for the hayride. Since Sean is so little - we decided to forgo the corn maze. I inquired about the pumpkin patch - and was told that the "patch has no pumpkins this year". Hmm...false advertising maybe?

At any rate, we toured the Boyds Bear factory while waiting for our hayride - and Sean saw "Santa Claus" - so he'll be ready in another 2 months! The hayride was fun for all 3 of us - and we left happy - but with no pumpkins!!

As Monkeys do - our little monkey likes to climb...

Sean has taken to opening & closing his toybox - and then climbing on top of it...
