First Thanksgiving

November 22 was Adi's first Thanksgiving! It really isn't that exciting as a baby eating minimal foods still but that's ok.  Since we spent the entire weekend before with Nana and Papa, they decided to go out of town for Thanksgiving so we didn't get to see them on the actual holiday.  Oh well.  Instead we just went to Grandma Geri's house.  Adi got really grumpy because it was too loud and crazy (22 people!!) for her to take a nap... so she was pretty exhausted and grumpy by the end of the day.


All dressed up and ready to go

First Turkey!

Wow! With Daddy

Happy Little Family

Las Vegas Super Nationals

November 16-18 we went to Las Vegas for the super bowl of go-karting, Super Nationals! I go every year (including a pregnant trip last year) and this year was no exception.  Adi got to come too and experience it out of the belly and in the flesh.  The noise doesn't really get to her except when it drags on for too long, then she loses patience.  She was slightly out of whack all weekend and didn't really enjoy having to sit still for a six hour car ride.  She slept terrible because she was in a strange hotel room... but we managed.  We forgot to take many pictures, I didn't get ANY of racing this year.  Bonnier won the S4 class AGAIN! It was some pretty great racing to watch as always.  




2 am wide awake in the bathroom hoping not to wake everyone else up

The next morning... Adi LOVED the mirrors in the room

Babies who don't sleep at night... sleep during races in the bleachers

A very rare moment of sleep that weekend

haha... sitting on an elephant outside a restaurant at the Rio

We tried EVERYTHING to entertain her in the car

Finally going home... get me out of this d@mn car!!

Adi's First Halloween

Happy Halloween a month late! We've been so busy I haven't had time to catch up on the blogging.  Adi's first Halloween was a little bit hectic.  Ben was working a day shift that whole week so Adi went from baby sitter to baby sitter that whole week.  Halloween was Papa's turn to watch Adi.  They had a fun morning practicing walking and of course playing lots! When Mommy got home from work she found them sound asleep on the couch together! 
Sleeping kiddos, so cute!

Oh I almost forgot! The weekend before Halloween we took Adi to Wheeler Farm to see the animals and then go to a pumpkin patch! She was very interested in all the animals at the farm.

 She thought the pumpkin patch was very funny.  She was giggling and smiling the whole time... even when she took a spill in the dirt.
What a cute little pumpkin!

Timber!

How we carved her first pumpkin
 Back to Halloween.... For Halloween Adi was a giraffe.  She was so cute all bundled up in her costume.  Before her giraffe outfit she was a monster, Mike Wasowski.  And no baby's first Halloween is complete without multiple costume changes, so Adi was also a Mermaid (just for pictures) because a friend's mom knit the most awesome mermaid costume.  It was basically a sack though so she couldn't do a lot of moving so we just took some pictures and then put her in her giraffe costume!
huh?!

Yay Pumpkin!

Giraffe and her pumpkin

Before dressing as a giraffe, Adi was of course a monster for a little while.  Mike Wasowski!


And we had to include this AWESOME Mermaid costume a friend's mom knit for Adi.  Holy cute!

Mermaid baby!
Oh and for diner that night we went to Grandma Geri's house and ate spaghetti.  By that point Adi was pretty burnt out from a long day... and crazy week!
