My Big Fat Blog Post(s) - October

You didn't think I was going to let Maggie have all of the fun, did you? Marin, here! October was a busy month after settling into the new school year schedule and all of us being sick from our venture into commercialized daycare/preschool. Just building up our immune systems! Mommy & I both had ear infections and that made us pretty miserable. But, we're all better now (for awhile).

Mommy has a rule that if we eat spaghetti at the dinner table, we do so in our underwear (Maggie & Me anyway) and go straight into the tub afterwards. Daddy came up with the nickname "Marin-ara" for me after the amount of sauce I can get on myself. Then, Mommy decided to get photographic evidence that I do actually sleep sometimes. And even though she woke me up (she just said "payback") and I think the picture is incredibly unfair, it is how I look when I wake up most of the time.

The biggest news of October (besides Halloween which will be a separate post), is that I've actually started WALKING!!!! I took my first steps on Sept. 23, but it took me a few weeks to really get going. As you can see, Maggie helped me out a little. I LOVE my big sister. She is the bees knees. You can see how proud I am of myself for walking over to the sliding door, oh yeah, I've also been working on my belly. I'm a good eater!
