I woke up on Saturday and was greeted by both Dad & Mom.  Dad’s usually hanging out with my on weekend mornings, but Mom was up to because Aunt Claire was online for her weekly IM from India.  I had breakfast and a nap before the three of us took off on errands.

Our first stop was Target, where I got to ride in the cart like a big kid.  The highlight was that Mom and Dad bought me a Halloween costume.  I wish I could tell you what I’m going go to b, but it’s TOP SECRET.   You’ll have to check back if you want to see me trick or treating.

Then Mom was on a mission to buy me a winter coat.  They had two gift certificates to baby boutiques in Lakeview & Lincoln Park.  Well, the first place we wen to, Beansprout, was out of business!  Oops.  I guess that’s why everyone’s worried about some “economic meltdown.”  Whatever.  At least we got to see Conor while we were in Lakeview.  Next stop was Beautiful Beginnings.  Well, the problem with BB was that everything was ridiculously expensive.  There was a $300 coat — for a baby!  We did find a really cool contraption: a coat that attaches to my car seat and stroller.  Mom & Dad were so impressed that they bought two!  Pictures to come when they actually get used.  While Mom & Dad were shopping, one of the ladies who worked there physically took my from Dad and paraded me around the store telling everyone how beautiful I am.  Cool, but weird.

Oh, want to see me moving (albeit backward)?

After lunch back at home with Young, Mom’s cousin Erika and her husband Daniel stopped by.  I had never met them before but they’re so fun & cool!  I played with them for quite a while (and let them watch me nap).  After I got up and had a bottle, Dad and I took off for Dominick’s (dropping Steve & Allison off “on the way”).  I screamed like  crazy in the parking lot, but eventually settled down and had a really fun shopping trip with Dad.  I discovered helium balloons in the checkout lane — I think I want one!Got home & went straight to Mom who already had my bottle ready and I fell asleep really quickly.
