Pictures and more pictures...

Nothing really to update y'all on. Emily's just super-awesome, per usual. Weighed her last night - 20 pounds, about 3 ounces, and she's now 28 inches. Basically huge. So, with nothing else to report, I'll just dump a bunch of photos instead! Enjoy!

 

Emily reading. We're big fans of The Three Little Pigs in our household. Especially my dynamite, dramatic rendition. 

Turkey head! 

Emily was super sleepy, but I knew she'd fight me on a nap, so we watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the original cartoon, because yes, I do have it on DVR from last Christmas. Love snuggles from this girl. 

Playing with a bottle of rice. Because why the heck not??

Sassy pants. Standing! 

A little airplane action. 

Me and my girl! 

Kid is always trying to take our coffee/tea mugs, so I gave her one of her own to play with. 

Opening a package full of Christmas headbands!!!! 

Eating some pancakes for breakfast. 

So. Much. Sass. 

Eating her foot... My kid's a genius. 

"Ma, enough with the pictures!"

Cider Mill Trip/Emily's First Halloween

So I'm really terrible at keeping up with this. I meant to do a weekend update after last weekend's trip to the cider mill. Then I was going to do one after Halloween. Oops.

So here's a compilation of pictures from Emily's first trip to Uncle John's Cider Mill and her first Halloween!

Uncle John's Cider Mill is great. In the early fall they open up their apple orchards, then later, they open up their pumpkin patch. They also have a corn maze and a lot of games for kids. Em's a bit small for the games, but I can see her being interested in some of them next fall! They also have fresh apple cider and donuts, which is really the main reason I go.

With Daddy and her pumpkin!

With my girl!

Big girl, standing up!

Trying a tiny bite of an apple cider donut!

Watching the apple press with Daddy. 

And now some from Halloween! Emily was a Rockford Peach! (If you don't know what that means, for goodness sake go watch A League of Their Own.)

Just chillin' with Mr. Bones. 

Distracted by the potted mums. 

Happy girl!

Emily had a successful first Halloween. We didn't take her trick or treating, because she can't have candy, and I'm certainly in no need of her candy. We, however, had 75+ trick or treaters in a 30-minute span and I ran out of candy by 6:30. I'll be better prepared next year!

Em's enjoying November so far. I've told her all about Thanksgiving, and I think she's pretty pumped for that. Mostly I've told her about Nanny's macaroni and cheese. We all can't wait! To prepare, she's been rocking her turkey hat!

Gobble, gobble!
