9 Big ones!

Months that is. You pretty much eat everything we eat, mac and cheese is a fave, you weigh about 20 lbs, you can sort of wave hello/bye-bye, crawl everywhere, pull up on everything, can almost clap, laugh when you see yourself in a picture, adore other little kiddos when you are around them and starting to develop quite the personality.

Finally a snapshot of the 2 little teeth!

Pumpkins: Take 2

We paid a visit to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in McKinney with Aunt Tiff and Carys this past weekend. The girls loved it. Carys over heard Uncle B telling me there are no dinosaurs in the pumpkin patch because I did not want to stick little one in the patch. Well Carys thought Uncle B said there were dinosaurs and would not get near the pumpkin patch. So much for some cute pumpkin pics! None the less it was pretty funny. The girls got to feed lambs, goats, cows and longhorns too.

This is a new cheeseball smile...

baby v. longhorn

There was no way we were getting them both to look at us. The dirt was much more interesting. Piggies themselves?

What a sweet little face!

Giving some big cousin advice

I came across this poem from a friend and I guess it is starting to hit home since our days consist of chasing the little one around and keeping her out of everything!!! Kiddos really do grow up way too fast. Where did our tiny little baby go!?!

Baby Song

(By Diane Woolley)

At first you didn't lift your head;
You didn't know to smile.
The time before you knew my voice
Seemed such a long, long while.
I couldn't wait for you to roll,
And then to sit and clap.
And now you're off and crawling,
Not helpless in my lap.

Why didn't someone tell me
How fast a baby grows,
That every little baby stage
Soon comes, but sooner goes.

So I'll enjoy the fleeting time
Before you learn to walk.
And treasure every tiny noise
Before you learn to talk.

For soon you'll learn to walk,
Then run,
And talk and sing a song,
And never be my babe again.
The babe's forever gone.
Little baby, take your time,
For while you're tiny, you are mine.

Fun

We went to a Fisher Price playdate hosted by one of the mom's of the playgroup. It was through houseparty.com. They select a few hosts and send them free product with discounts, coupons and even a free toy for the guests to take home. This one happened to be held by Fisher Price. So the kiddos got to play with 5 new toys and took home some goodies.

We also had a day at the park with our new friend! They kept talking baby blabber back and forth like they were holding a conversation.

With such a busy week, mommy and daddy went out for dinner while Grandma M watched the little one. It was nice to eat some spicy thai food. YUM!

Germs

I could never understand how parents would let their kids play in the petri dishes/play areas at the mall until today. After walking by several times and seeing little one stare at all the kids playing, I decided to give in. It just so happened that cleaning time is at 2:00 and it was 2:00. Perfect! She loved it and squealed the whole time.

Pumpkin Village

Little one loved all the pumpkins and thought the hay was a delicacy! We tried our hardest to get a good picture of her looking at us but there was just too much going on.

Park Time and Laughter

Thanks Aunt J for the bubba teeth!

When something is particularly good to eat, we have now started to smack our lips and use our tongue to look for food around her mouth. Oh and apparently a camera looks tasty...
