A Day at the Pumpkin Patch

We finally got a break in the weather after 4 long days of non stop rain. I thought we were never going to get Abigail to the Pumpkin Patch this year! We had beautiful weather today and it was the perfect time to go.

At just shy of almost 8 months, Abby is getting around really well. She is cruising around the coffee table and couch. She even lets go and stands on her own at times. We have our hands full! She is definitely a mommas girl. She wants me all the time. Hopefully it's just a phase.

On another note, we have finally decided to start planning our wedding. After only a week into it, I am realizing that my puny budget is NOT going to get us much. I'm having a very hard time finding venues that are in our price range. I feel like giving up already and waiting until we have more saved. We are planning on a September 2010 wedding. Either the last weekend in September or the first weekend in October. More details to come as they unfold, and if we can ever find a place that we like in our price range :)

Enjoy some pictures from today....

Lotta Catch'n Up To Do

It's been over a month since I had the time to sit down and leisurely post on the blog. A lot has taken place in the last month, I don't even know where to begin. Abigail is better than ever. She just turned 7 months on October 2nd. She is the most laughable, happy baby I have ever seen. She giggles and screams constantly. Nothing upsets her unless she is tired or hungry. But most of the time she is in a great mood.

She is doing what they call "cruising". Which means she is standing herself up and walking around while she holds onto the coffee table, the couch, my leg, or anything she can get a grip on. She will definitely be walking by Christmas. Watch out Christmas tree! She's a little pistol. Takes very little naps during the day, which means she sleeps GREAT at night! Bonus for us, but not so much for her grandparents.

At her last checkup she was in the 85 percentile for her height. ( she's mommies little super model) and 50% for weight; perfectly average. We have a hard time finding pants that are long enough for her. Still NO TEETH! I can't believe it. I thought for sure she would have teeth by now. Nope, natta! She is taking to baby food well. Veggies are a little tough but she likes sweet potatoes and mixed green beans and squash together. She loves all fruit. Still trying to get her use to the sippy cup. We are sorta slackin on working with her in that department.

On another note, we finally got moved into our new house! It's great. The three flights of stairs are gonna take some getting use to, especially when you have a 16 pound baby on your hip. Abigail even has her own bathroom. She sleeps in her own room in her crib with no problem.

Hopefully before the winter hits, will get another photo session in at the School Farm here in Greencastle. But for now, enjoy some pictures from the last month or so. When I get a chance, Ill post some pics of the new house. Right now it looks like Toys-R-Us threw up in our living room :)
Bye for now!
