This Butterball ain't no turkey!

We were doubly lucky to get to enjoy two Thanksgiving dinners this year. The Phillips Family joined us on Friday to enjoy another feast.


Uncle Jon gave me some roughhousing and Grandma gave me a bath. Grandpa would have given me Neccos and Pop-Tarts if he could have but had to refrain.


I think all the food Mommy consumed over the weekend caught up with her. All the naysayers who said Mommy wasn't showing can eat their words now!!

(Mommy is already 33 weeks pregnant!)

Look Ma, No Hands!

So I may look like Frankenstein, but it's official. I'm walking now!!

Btw, don't ask why I carry the case to the thermometer around with me. I call it my "Tis" and seek it out at any opportunity I get.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!! Daddy is starting to feel like his old self (yay!) as you can see from this picture. Me, on the other hand.... I look like I had just a seen a clip from movie Poltergeist (I just woke up from a nap).

Thanks to Aunt Sarah and Grandma & Pop-Pop Sinclair for coming out today and for bringing all the delicious food. (A special thank you to Grandma for my own special sweet potato, rice, applesauce, and chicken broth that were dairy free!)

There is so much we are all thankful for this year. I hope you and your families had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well!!

Get Well Daddy!

Daddy's flu took a turn for the worst and turned in to pneumonia over the week. We have had to keep our distance, and me and mommy miss him a lot.


Yesterday, to escape the germs, Mommy and I went to The Enchanted Forest in Reston. I got to see a model train (which I loved), Christmas Carolers, Christmas trees, gingerbread houses, and lots more.

Unfortunately Mommy deleted all the pictures by accident so there is no living proof that we actually went.... So instead I've included photos of a recent trip to see Mr. Knick Knack at the mall for your enjoyment.

Happy Friday!

It's official. Fall is here!

I Miss Da-Da!

One of my favorite parts of the evening is welcoming "Da-Da" home from work when I hear the garage door open. This past week he has been laid up in bed with the flu all day/night. So not only have I missed out on greeting him at the door, I have also missed out on play time as well. Get well soon Daddy, I miss you!!

Happy Birthday Owen!

Happy 1st Birthday little O!! We had a great time at your party last night. You were quite the party animal!!

Happy Friday!

I hope you don't mind Owen but I borrowed your car last week. Don't worry, I know how to drive stick.

Ben's Big Boy Room

I'm going places in this world....

Last weekend I made the transition from my nursery (above) to my BIG BOY'S ROOM (below) so that my baby bro would have a place to sleep once he arrives. I did great with the move as it didn't phase me at all. I love to point to all the things in my new room, including my "clock" and "ruff" (stuffed animal puppy).

A special thanks to Daddy for painting (both rooms!) and Mommy for making my new valances (despite hours of snipping, sewing, stapling, and splinter removal).

The Letter of the Day

Daddy was going over some letters with me last weekend and I found the letter 'R' especially funny. Maybe it's a 'pirate' thing....

Bragging Rights!

I wasn't allowed to post any shots of me yesterday in my VA Tech or Maryland gear until the results were in... since the Hokies won last night me and Mommy got our bragging rights today.

Sorry Dad, better luck next year!!

In OTHER exciting news, I took my FIRST STEPS yesterday. I think it's obvious that a winner was born as soon as I put on this jersey. Video of me walking shall be coming soon!!

My Civic Duty

I just wanted to let you know I've done my part, folks. The rest is up for America to decide!!! Let's pray they make the right decision.

Trick or Treat!

Yesterday was my first trick or treating experience. My pals Owen (the skunk) and Reed (the chicken) came over to partake in the fun!

Our Mom's took us around the neighborhood to collect the candy while our Dad's handed out candy.

Here we are chilin' with our Dads!



You can see I'm already into the goods, I just couldn't contain myself!

Here I am, just monkeying around!

We were trying to get some pictures of all us boys, but we weren't very cooperative. This Twix bar was so enticing I run over to it instead of smile for the camera.

Here I am examining my loot! Mommy and Daddy were especially excited about this!!

It was a great time - thanks Owen & Reed (and your parents) for making my Halloween extra special and fun!
