Erin Counting Cars

Everytime we go to Grandma's house, Erin has to sit on the stoop and count the cars as they go by. 
One!

We had gone over to Grandma's to go grocery shopping with her for the tailgate on Saturday. Erin got to ride around in a car shopping cart!

Golfing

Well, I finally made it out golfing! I try to get out at least once a year and it took until September to get out for the first time! We went out last Tuesday to golf at South Bend Country Club. We also went out again this Monday. I remembered my camera this time! Erin was very well behaved and stayed in the cart most of the time.  Occassionally she'd come up to the green with us to practice her putting skills.

Karaoke Queen

Erin LOVES singing!  We went to big Erin's for a party and she had karaoke going.  Little Erin got right in there and sang duets with Mommy and big Erin!  It was adorable! Hopefully she'll have a better singing voice than her Mom!

Ready for Winter!

We bought Erin her first snowsuit. She is ready to go out and play in the snow.  I hope she can move around when the time comes.  Right now she looks like a "fat guy in a little coat!"  "I can't put my arms down!"

"Mom, why'd you do this to me when it's 85 degrees outside?"

"What are these strange looking things on my hands?"

"See Mom! I can't even sit down!"

Well at least she'll be warm!

Reading with Daddy!

Erin loves to read.  She brings us book after book to read to her.  Her favorites include: Dr. Suess's ABC book, Mommy Hugs, Valentine Zoo and Baby Einstein Look and Find

Erin was ready to GO! She took off with her stroller and headed home.

Tailgating!

First official tailgate of the football season! Fall is upon us and football is in full swing! We stayed the night at my mom's to avoid gameday traffic and Erin did NOT sleep well. So we had a short night. Despite being overtired, we headed out to Notre Dame to tailgate with some friends over the weekend. Erin had fun and is turning out to be quite portable! We can take her anywhere even if she is running on no sleep!

Ryan took Erin and the two dogs out early to the Kestermeier tailgate. I waited at my mom's for Melissa and Cory to arrive and we headed out. Made our way through campus and hung out at the Kestermeier's until just prior to kick off and made our way home to watch the game.

Imp!

Erin had fun playing with all the kids and the dogs were tuckered out from the walk so the rest of the day was uneventful.

Fishy, Fishy, Fishy, Fishy

We have been looking into getting some fish for Erin for a few months now. She loves to watch the fish at the doctor's office and at my dad's house. We thought it would be perfect to have a nice tank in Erin's room. She wakes up every morning excited to go see her fish and helps feed them. She waves "goodnight" to them before she goes to sleep. It is adorable!
We did have a bit of a mishap though. We bought the fish on Sunday evening. Brought them home, acclimated them to their tank and well, Ryan went in there Monday morning to three "floaters." Whoops! Good thing Petco gives you a 15 day guarantee on your fish! We took them back on Monday night and got two more of a "hearty" variety. They are still kicking!

Erin knows what to do with a ball and a bat! She'll be playing little league in no time! Can you just imagine her with her pink helmet, cleats, bat and glove!?!? :)
