Things around town...

...are starting. Like the balloon festival, Oktoberfest, the fair, etc & we are going to try & make the best of our weekends & go to as many as possible. Last weekend we chased the hot air balloons, thanks to dad, until they would land so you could see them. Was so much fun & one even landed at our park : ) think we might try the fair this weekend, never been, should be interesting. You got a new giraffe toy from our friends that you love to carry around with you. You have been dancing more lately, really laughing, and saying 'oh' a lot. Like when you see something you've been looking for, drop something, fall or when we turn on the light in your room in the morning. Then you proceed to babble or giggle about it, so silly. We went to a couple different playgrounds this weekend & you really walked around & played, climbed & slid down the slides...the puppies even followed behind us on the slide, you thought that was great, they stick right by our side no matter what. Mimi came with us to the eatsi's, i love that place, nice to have it near our house now. you also met a few other kids there that you walked right up to & wanted to make friends. you are so cute...you are shy sometimes & other times very friendly & outgoing, my balanced baby girl. You built a fort with dad on Monday & played in the yard, you love your daddy time. We love you & can't believe you are 14 months old now! Xo

Waiting for fall...

...& it's cooler weather. I absolutely love once it gets to October, can't wait for all the fun stuff, outdoor activities & holidays. So, to get into the spirit we started working on putting your Halloween outfit together, made a little holiday art project, have been eating a lot of homemade guacamole, watching football, hanging out with dad, cookouts, going to see the ducks at the pond & more. I have been getting up every other morning before the sun comes up to go jogging, i really enjoy it & just being outdoors, just ran 6.5 miles this weekend. Dad & i went out for some dinner & live music with friends friday & had a lot of fun, you got to sleep over at mimi's : ) You have become so much more mobile & we have so much fun hanging out with you! You have really become your own little independent person, but are such a homebody, you are happiest at home playing with your toys. You are so sweet with other kids & are gentle & careful about everything you do. You are an amazingly sweet little girl & we love you so xo

Beginning of September...

...included walking, walking & more walking. You are doing so great, we are so proud of you! I made a leash for your pup pup so you have been practicing walking him, so cute. You hung out with dad yesterday & you were so tired you passed out asleep on the floor haha. You all also called me & you left a message & said 'hi mama', I loved it so much. You are doing more & more imaginary play already which is awesome...you will sit & play by yourself & have conversations with your toys. You have been hugging & kissing the pup pups, so sweet. You love to draw with chalk, crayons & markers, we sit & work on your projects & you stay really focused. We got your freshly picked mocs in the mail & they look oh so cute on you, will be great this fall on those walking feet. Dad also snapped a pic of luigi sleeping on me like he always does with his head on my neck, he is the sweetest boy. You are dad & my little buddy, we love you so xo

The last couple weekends...

...have been filled with fun. We went to Springfield to visit family & friends. You jumped on Carter's bed to wake him up was so cute. The car ride was long & you stayed up late making funny noises & making us laugh. We went for a long jog, went house hunting with auntie Spanky, you slept on an air mattress for the first time, hung out with our friends marissa & Eva & met some other little girls at the baby shower. When we got back, we played dress up, got the cutest sandals for my little walker, did some chalk drawings, played in the tent, cleaned out a closet, dad got a new truck & we made some good food. You are walking more frequently, pivoting to turn direction, saying please, thank you, hi, bye bye, pup pup & many more. You love to open & close doors & drawers, take things out & put them back, scrunch your nose when you giggle & smile, dance when you hear music swinging back & forth, chase the pups & try to take their toys, shake your head up & down when you do something you are happy with, talk to us a lot, love to share whatever food we are eating, sleep so well & your 'b' makes you happy, give hugs & kisses after smiling at us, tackle me when I'm laying on the floor with you, rub your face on the soft toys you love, brushing your teeth & playing in the water is so fun for you at night, going exploring with us outside & so much more. We love you, you make everyday special m. Xo
