I am 7 months old today! Just 5 short months and I get my very own birthday cake! My cousins have been telling me all about holidays. There's halloween coming up, that sounds spooky, then there's Thanksgiving, that sounds like fun! My cousins tell me there is a huge festival in our town every year during the Thanksgiving weekend. These people around here actually celebrate ducks and rice! Can you believe that? Aunt Sherry says people from all over the world come to town for the festival. She said they blow duck calls and try to win the world's championship. But there's also rides, and games, and huge tents with all kinds of arts and crafts, and music and food....yummy! I like food! I wonder if I'll have teeth by then?

Then there's Christmas! Wow, does that sound cool! Everybody has a big party and gives each other presents for Jesus' birthday! Aunt Sherry says we have a big tree, and on Thanksgiving night, the whole family gathers around it and listens to Christmas music and decorates the tree. She said it takes about a week to do all the decorating around the house! I can't wait to see that! Then two days after Christmas is my JonJon's birthday, then there's New Years Eve and New Years Day, then comes Valentines day when everybody tells everybody else how much they love them, then guess what's next! MY BIRTHDAY!!! I can't wait! I get my very own cake, everybody is gonna give me presents (I bet I'll be a pro at wrapping paper after Christmas!) Woohoo! I can't wait! Doesn't it sound like fun?

All that excitement thinking about my birthday and I almost forgot to tell y'all about my cousins soccer game! Both the teams Aunt Sherry and Uncle Jason coach tied today. But the best part was when I got sleepy. Mrs. Cindy was holding me, and Jon's girlfriends mom took me, wrapped me in a blanket, and snuggled me real close. I was out! She was singing to me, and I just couldn't stay awake! She is so nice. Her little neice lives with her too, just like I live with my Aunt. Isn't that neat! I made new friends!
