Thanksgiving and Baptism

Here I am before heading to church for my baptism. I was all smiles in my nice duds. Too bad I spit up on them three times before heading to the front of the church.

Here I am with Mommy and Daddy after the baptism. It was so much work it wore me out. I must be a pretty important guy because I had one great-grandma and both sets of grandmas and grandpas at my baptism along with all my aunts and uncles and even some cousins. I was so grateful for everyone coming to see me!!!



Here I am sitting on Great Grandma Hobson's lap. She made a special trip all the way from Wyoming to be here to meet me and attend my baptism. She is one smart cookie for almost 90 years old:) Her singing got me to sleep several days when I was at MeeMaw's house.




Here I am at my first stop on Thanksgiving at Great-Grandma Annie's house. I was not too happy because I had not had my first installment of turkey. Once I got that, I was good to go!


Round 2 on Thanksgiving day was at the Letterman Thanksgiving Feast. Aunt Stephanie had no problem getting me to fall asleep and I was just chilling with a fully belly with Grandpa.



Even though Dad and I didn't go deer hunting, I had to commemorate opening day by sporting my "camo" pants. Here I am lounging with Dad watching MU beat KU!!!!! Yipee, now we need to win the big one against OU!!

1st Road Trip and Halloween

Here I am chilling on a blanket before I started on the long trek to OKC to meet the rest of the Helling family. My cousin Gage sure was good at getting me to go to sleep.

Here I am posing with Gage and Blane outside before a nice dinner out at Red Lobster. I slept through the whole meal, but I heard it was tasty. This was the only time Uncle Travis agreed to hold me and that was just for a second to snap the photo.

Here I am at MeeMaw and PeePaw's on Halloween. I stayed in my lion costume for a while, but it was kind of hot and scratchy. I was ready to get out of it and get into regular clothes.

Aunt Carol got to hang out with me on Halloween too, but after 2 hours in my costume, I was in no mood for a picture. I was just wanting some chow.

Here I am sporting my football jersey watching football with dad again. GO TIGERS!!!! They are doing so good this year and daddy can't help but tease PeePaw about his Cornhuskers.

This was a day that Grandma and Grandpa Cheek came for a visit. I was definitely all smiles to see them.
