The Foot Book

Interpretation of Else Speak:

After turning the page, she says, "How many different feet you meet."

"Do you have pink toesies?"

On the next page, she says something along the lines of "walking slowly feet".

The very last thing she says is, "Who that? A dog."

Lookin' Pretty

A favorite pastime...

...reading on stairs.

IMA on a Beautiful Fall Day

My cousins crack me up!

Thank you, Aunt Stephanie!

My little accesorizer

Lion Costume

She had a great time trick-or-treating. She roared at everyone's house. (We just went to our immediate neighbors and friends down the street.)

Apple Orchard

Something I want to remember...

We're sort of using this blog as a baby book, because....well, we don't have one! So, I want to start adding some of the things that she says as she's talking more and more. Just a minute ago I was in the kitchen, and she walked in and said, "I'm walkin' with Jesus."

Yay, Daddy!

Matt had quite a difficult task of putting together my old bed frame. My very, very, very old bed frame. This was her reaction when she heard him yell from her room that he thought he had finally figured it out. To translate what she says after she walks in her room, she walks over to the bed and says, "I want up, please."

First Night in the Big Girl Bed

As you might be able to tell, she was pretty excited about her new bed. When she climbed on, she started pointing to the different colored stripes and naming all the colors, one by one. It was a challenge to get her to sit still for a picture!

She's never had any sheets or blankets before (just because it never dawned on us to give her any), and when Matt pulled the sheet and blanket up over her to tuck her in, she asked, "Where'd toesies go?"

Bug

We woke up this morning to find this on our living room wall. As I was hitting it with the fly swatter, my daughter said, "Kill it, mommy! Kill it! It scared me!"

Future runner?

Fall Dress

I know she's got crazy hair. But I just love the dress. I wish I could find a maternity one in the same style.

Counting

Helping mommy in the kitchen

I can't get over how big she's getting.  She loved helping me cook today.  

Story

She was reading the book called The Story of Jesus while Matt was getting her bath ready.  Matt came out to the living room and said, "It's bath time!", and as he picked her up, she was facing away from Matt and towards the couch, she dropped the book, waved, and yelled, "Bye-bye, Jesus!".

Playing By Myself At My Cousins' Birthday Party

Faces

It's been so hard to get a good picture these days. Since we haven't gotten any, I thought I'd put up the silly faces she gave me when I had the camera out today.
