New Steelers Gear

Uncle Mark said that today was a big game for the Steelers, so he bought Adam a new jersey and a hat. Adam will need to grow into the hat.

First Halloween

Our neighborhood had a Halloween party today. Adam posed for a picture with Mom, Dad and Chloe before going to the party. At the party, we gathered up all of the boys that were born in the last year. The moms had to be in the picture since not all of the boys can sit up by themselves yet.

After a few games and eating, it was time to trick-or-treat. Adam's cousins, Brianna and Jacob, come over to trick-or-treat with him. 

Rolling Over

Today, Adam rolled over from his back to his stomach on his own. Mom missed the first time because she was making a cup of coffee, but Adam did it two more times. Mom was able to catch one on camera.

Pumpkins at Trax Farm

We took Adam to Trax Farm to take pictures with the pumpkins. Mom, of course, had to dress-up Adam. Luckily, he just went along with it.

We met up with Adam's cousins - Jacob, Brianna, and Ryan. It was tough to get Jacob, Brianna, and Adam to all look at the camera at one time, but we did pretty good. We just held Ryan and Adam for their picture.

Then, Adam picked out his pumpkin. He looks pretty happy with his selection.

Going Back Home

It was time to head back home. Adam did a great job during the long car ride. We did have to change our outfit a few times...just ask Aunt Shana.

Final Charleston Visitors

On our last night in Charleston, Mrs. Dombrowski, Jessica and Jack came over for dinner. Jessica and Jack both held Adam. Jessica was great at making Adam smile!

One More Trip to the Beach

We took one last trip to the beach today. Adam didn't get into the water this time, but he did take pictures with Mom, Dad, Chloe and Grandma.

Swinging and Sliding at the Waterfront Park

Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpap took Adam to the Waterfront Park. Adam almost disappeared into the swing, but he liked it. Even though the sign said that the slide was for children 12 and under, Dad took Adam down the slide.

Mom and Dad's 4th Anniversary

Today was Mom and Dad's 4th Anniversary. Mom and Dad went to dinner while Adam and Chloe stayed with Grandma and Grandpap. When we got back from dinner, we took a family picture. It is sometimes tough to get Adam and Chloe to both look at the same time, but we were lucky with this photo.

Back to the Beach and Pool

We went back to the beach today. This time, we took Adam's chair so that he could sit in his sun dome. We went down to the water so that he could put his feet into the sand. Again, he had no complaints.

 

Then, it was back to the pool. Uncle Mark thought that it would be funny to put goggles on Adam. He looks like a fighter pilot! We put his duck tub into the pool. Adam was on a ducky cruise. He was just hanging out!

Downtown Charleston

We took Adam to the Battery in Downtown Charleston. Mom wanted his picture on the canon balls. Dad didn't hesitate to hop on a canon for a picture with Adam. 

  

 We had to stop at the Pineapple Fountain for a group shot on our way to the pier to take a picture with the bridge in the background. 

First Trip to the Beach and First Time in the Pool

Today, Adam took his first trip to the beach. He didn't seem to mind being put into the water. He was actually much better with it than Mom. We took a family picture. This one only took us five tries.

Then, it was on to the pool. Adam was a little too small to sit alone in his floaty, so Mom and Dad had to help out. He loved the water.

Taste of Charleston

On Sunday, we also went to the Taste of Charleston at Boone Plantation. There was a number of booths from Charleston restaurants. Mom and Dad enjoyed it. Adam stuck with his bottle. Dad made sure the sun wasn't in Adam's eyes while he enjoyed his Taste of Charleston.

Meeting the Dombrowski's

One of our first stops was for Sunday breakfast at the Dombrowski House. Adam was able to meet Mr. and Mrs. Dombrowski as well as Chrissy, Jessica, and Jack. Adam still has to wait to meet Andrew, Karen and Adair.

While we were there, Adam needed to take a nap, so we put him down in Adair's crib. 

On Our Way to Charleston

The car was packed, the kids were in their car seats, and it was time to go. We were on our way to Charleston. We broke up the ride down into two parts. Adam had his first stay in a hotel. He slept in his pack and play all night!

Riding Chloe

Aunt Shana came over to watch Adam while Mom called into work. While she was here, Adam and Chloe sat with Aunt Shana on the couch. Chloe really lets Adam do anything to her (when she is tired). She even let Adam sit on her back.

My New Chair

Today, Adam sat in his new chair for the first time. He lasted for a few minutes before getting mad. We will have to spend a little time in it each day so that he can get used to it.

College Game Day

Mom and Adam were all ready for the Pitt game today. Adam was spending the day with mom, so there was no debated as to whether Adam would wear his Pitt or Notre Dame gear. Next week, Pitt plays Notre Dame, so we will have to see which team Adam will support.

Later that night, we stopped by the hospital to visit Ryan. Heather and Joe dressed Ryan in his Penn State gear so that the two cousins could take this picture. Pitt faired better than Penn State this weekend. Maybe Adam can someday convince Ryan to be a Pitt fan. Hopefully, it doesn't go the other way!

Meeting More Cousins

Tonight, Adam was able to meet one of this other cousins, Walt. Walt is stationed in Sicily but is visiting this week. Adam won't get to meet Maria, Marco or Elena until they come back home in July 2011.

Adam also got to meet his newest cousin, Ryan. Joe and Heather had Ryan this morning. He was a little smaller than Adam was when he was born. Only two months apart, Adam just looks so big next to Ryan.

Dan's Bachelor Party Weekend

Adam stopped by Rock Bottom tonight to help Dan kick off his Bachelor Party Weekend. Dan held him the entire time that we were there. Adam took a nap on Dan's shoulder shortly after this picture was taken.
