Halloween Music class

Linden and the Dr. Suess "things" teins from the neighborhood- so cute! The blue feather heads sort of freaked out Linden!




This little cowpoke was tired after music class this week- all the costumes were too much fun!


We went to music class in our Halloween costume today- Linden really likes the cowgirl hat on day two of the costume wearing! Pretty funny!

Howdy Cowgirl!

Linden is a cowgirl for Halloween.

Santana Row Halloween

We went to Santana Row for the Mommy and Me on the Row- just like last year! It was fun- Lauren and Ryleigh were there and Tira and Eva- see pics. It was really fun and the wheather was soo beautiful!
Trick-or-treat!

FYI- As I was uploading the pics we had an earthquake- enough to shake the "begesus" out of me and the wine glasses! Yuck- I hate those! 5.6 says the latest news online!

Jack- O -Lantern

Daddy did the messy part.
Linden likes sticking her hand in Jack's eye.
MMMMMM- is this a pumpkin pie- I like it!

Baby Disco

Linden walking with her magic yellow circle- she seems to really like holding something when she's walking...

Look how happy she is on the dancefloor with Daddy!

Brett and I went to a nightclub and brought Linden.


No- it's not what you think, we went to a Baby Disco on Saturday! It was fun- we danced and hung out with our neighbors, Christy, Riley and Scott. It was cool- and we have not been to a nightclub in years!!!!

14 Months

Here were are at our 14 month portrait- smiling and cracking herself up, as usual. Linden has started realizing what is funny and how to just smile as BIG as her face- it's fun to watch. She is on the cusp of walking fully on her own- she has taken a few feet here and there, but now she wants to do it on her own.
We are enjoying music class every week and having fun at the park sliding down the slide- on her own. She's going to be a very independant one- I wonder who she gets that from??????
(MOM!)

The Oakland Zoo

Linden and Avery in a giant spider-web! Linden sure likes to climb!
Here's Linden telling everyone who she is- as you can see all the other kids were checking her out!
Here's Linden checking out the Elephants- WOW! She's never seen anything that BIG!


Having a blast at the zoo!

"The girls" on the Merry-Go-Round.
Linden hanging on for dear life; "You mean this thing is going to move, too???"

We went up to Oakland to the zoo, with the Casey's on Saturday. Had a really great time and the girls got to see animals and ride Linden's first merry-go-round! It was a beautiful day and what great company we had! Thanks Avery!

Muir Woods

We went up to Muir Woods on Friday- Brett took the day off and we had a great, but wet, walk through the most beautiful redwwod forest up in Marin County- truely a beautiful sight!

Airplane rides in the living room

Heather and I were talking the other day about a time in my life when we did not have any toys- let alone scattered throughout our entire house! And yet ANOTHER toy..... paying homage to Grandpa Salerno- I found this beautiful wooden "red- baron" style riding toy- it was really ugly- primary colors, etc.... Anyway, I saved it and painted it a very chic brown and pink- perfect for our little dive bomber! It even makes an airplane noise when she rocks on it- who could resist (right, Heather!)

Linden gets her own personal SWING!

We noticed how much Linden likes to swing at the park, and now she can swing in her own back yard! She could swing for hours and hours......
Also here are some pics of her groovy new headband- it's really Mommy's!

Linden playing in the car

Don't get any ideas Linden!
