Happy Halloween!

Here is your first debut as a lobster at Ge and Pop's house. (: You also have some Halloween day wear from Aunt Patty.

Leg-Warmers

Babies are fun and so are the clothes. I found these leg warmers at One Step Ahead and thought they would be perfect for those chubby baby legs. They will be great for those cold mornings in your bouncer- a girl has to look cute when she is working out. (:

Just a few more days and it will be your first Halloween. We can't wait for those pics and to see what cousin Matthew's first costume will be- no doubt you will be the cutest Halloween babies this year!

Growing

In just a few more weeks, you will be 6 months old...it is amazing to see how much you have changed in such a short time. You can now roll over from your back to stomach and vice versa. In fact you sleep with your knees tucked up under your belly with your butt sticking up in the air- it's too cute. You are starting to figure out how to wave when we leave. You are now eating barley cereal, prunes, carrots, and bananas. You LOVE the kitties and scream with delight when they stick around long enough for you to grab onto their fur. Chubby and Freyja are also a big hit. (: You have some new favorite songs, too- ABC's, I love you-you love me, Old MacDonald, Little Bunny FooFoo, etc.. You are such a happy baby and you are so alert and curious. What will you do next, Yvette? We love you.

Love Apple

Well not quite a Warhol original, but we had fun trying! For all you Mac users, if you haven't found Photo Booth yet, I highly recommend it. (:

Walker

These pics are from Grammie's house where you like to zoom around in the walker. Although your dad and I have to work, it's such a comforting feeling knowing have much fun you have and how much you are loved by your grandparents.

family

Here you are with Savannah, Laurissa, and Robbie. Permission was granted to add this cute pic of the four of you to your blog. (: We wish all of our family lived closer, but we enjoy any time we do spend with them. We are very lucky to have such a loving and supportive family and we are so grateful to have you all in our lives. In a world where change is a constant, one thing you will never have to worry about Yvette, is that you will always be loved.

Fall Fun

This weekend you went on your first hayride! It was so much fun and you and Weston babbled away the whole ride. Uncle Joe arranged for the hayride from the church where he and Aunt Kate were married 5 years ago and we took it back to their house where he planned a surprise 30th b-day party for her- it was a blast!

Today we went to Ge and Pop's where you saw your other NYS cousins- Robbie, Laurissa, and Savannah. You loved screaming at Savannah, who even carried you around. Laurissa is such a natural with you and her baby brother- it is amazing how grown up she is! They are the sweetest girls and that little Robbie is pure joy. It was so great to see all of them and Erik and Jenna.

This week we're hoping for the bathroom renovation to be finished. Right now it's gutted and hopefully we'll have a new bathroom by next weekend. Speaking of next weekend, I will be heading to Philadelphia and you will be spending Saturday night with Dad.

Out For A Hike

One of the best gifts we got before you were born was a back pack your dad and I can wear when we take you out for hikes. Your dad actually picked this pack out and he has been waiting since the day you were born to use it. Our first trip using it was just a quick walk up behind the zoo.

Happy 3rd Birthday to cousin Tyler today!

Iron Kettle Farm

We took you on your first pumpkin patch visit to Iron Kettle Farm! You saw miniature horses, burros, goats, cows, peacocks, turkeys, rabbits, and pigs- a lot of firsts there! We used to go to Iron Kettle and say we couldn't wait to bring our kids there- thank you for making another wish of ours come true, Yvette.
