Happy Fall!

Next week my baby will be 9 months old. However, I can't even process that right now... so I'll just move right along :)

Today we wanted to get out of the house and be outdoors. I know it isn't even October yet but we decided to go pick pumpkins at Paradise Valley Orchard. Sophie just loved the pumpkins on the ground. Everytime she spotted one, it was like it was the first one she's ever seen :) Complete with oooo's and squeals.


Here she is in the wagon

Then she decided maybe she'd lay down in the wagon...
She found her pumpkin...
She posed with the pumpkins...

And she modeled our family's pumpkins...
And then we did a photo shoot :)




I had to take her tights and shoes off cause it was so hot... 85 degrees! I swear, she's not an orphan!


Hmmm... is this edible?
I think I'll try and eat it...



She absolutely, without a doubt, HATED this. She clung to Cory's shirt the rest of the day.




Oh, I just love this picture :)



It was so much fun! And you can't beat $2 and pumpkin! Thats right, any pumpkin, any size, $2. We got 5 pumpkins for $10. My mother would probably buy the whole lot. If you know my mom, you know I'm not even kidding.

Happy Fall everyone! Only 10 more weeks left of the semester :)

Still Chuggin' Along...

Cory and I are both working and going to school this semester. It's pretty hard sometimes with Miss Sophie and working the graveyard shift, but Cory and I are starting to get the hang of things.

Sophie News:
Aug 17- Started crawling
August 31- Started pulling herself up
Sept 16- Walking around while holding onto furniture.

Can you believe it?! One month ago she wasn't even mobile! (Except for rolling, which made her puke, so we put a stop to that!) She isn't fast, but she can sure make her way around on her little tippy toes!

However, STILL no teeth!! I have three friends with babies a month younger than Sophie and their babies already have 3 teeth!

Oh well, I'd love to bottle feed this gummy grin the rest of my life :)

I've already begun thinking about (and buying!) her Christmas and birthday presents! I can't believe in 3.5 months this little cutie will be ONE!
Leave a comment if you have any great toy ideas to get for a 1 year old. She already has a push walker and an activity table (which she plays with 99% of the time). I'm going to get her a little kitchen set... any other ideas??

Aye Carumba. Where has the time gone?

8 months old!

My sweet baby, you're 8 months old today. Where has the time gone? I have loved spending every minute with you. You are going through some minor separation anxiety lately... but I love that I'm the one you reach for. I'm glad you find comfort in me. And, although it can be frustrating, I love when you crawl to my legs and grab in the air for me to pick you up. I love that you smile and snort when I kiss your cheeks. I love walking in your room in the morning and getting a huge grin and flailing arms. You are my perfect peanut. Your daddy and I love you more than you'll ever know.

Don't worry mom... her shoes were in the cart... they kept falling off in the store :)
