October - Part 1

Thought I would divide October into 2 parts...

Abbey is giving Amelia a gift that some friends sent.  She is a very good big sister.  She frequently says, "I like having a little sister."  So sweet.

Grandma and Grandpa (or Papa) came... Grandpa and Abbey like to do "Walk around the housey..."

Amelia's first snow... October 8.

I think this is the first snowman Abbey "helped" build:

Making sure Amelia has enough toys for our errands:

She loves her bouncer:

Going to the pumpkin patch...

Abbey loved driving the farming equipment... part of that comes from her Grandpa having tractors and such!

Abbey doesn't really like having her face painted, but she does like having her arm painted.

September

I love what one of my friends titled a photo album on Facebook... "Yep, I'm one of those parents."  In the 30 days of the month of September I took almost 300 pictures of my 2 little girls.  That's a lot of pictures.  I'm sure they will be minimally interesting to most of you, but what can I say?  I guess I'm one of those parents.  :)


My mom got some great photos of the first time Abbey held Amelia:

Abbey gave Grammy a shirt "cheers" because the color was the same.

This is our new favorite game called "Friends That Fly" (Mo Willems book).  I'm pretty sure flinging a 2-year old up into the air probably isn't on the doctor-recommended list of activities 5 days postpartum.

Love this one:

Daddy and his girls... 

Raspberry fingers...

Amelia is having a stare-down with the cookie:

We LOVE the Chariot.  I think it's my favorite kid-purchase.  Hopefully I will someday be at a good enough fitness level to ride my bike up hills at an elevation of about 6200 feet.  For now it's a great double stroller.

Amelia's first bath.

Abbey loves helping out.  She is so sweet to "Baby Melya. "

Playtime...
