Fall Fun and a New Car Seat!


Happy Fall!

I absolutely love this time of year. The leaves make me happy! We have the neatest fire bush or whatever those cool red ones are called in our yard. I need to take a picture and post it but yea, they make me happy.

Last night we carved our first pumpkin. We don't have pictures of the finished product yet since we couldn't find any candles but I will put that up soon. At first Rori ignored the pumpkins and just wanted to mess with the newspaper Scott put down as a precaution. Then Scott used them as drums and they became quite interesting. She tried to chew the stems, and really wanted to help Daddy with the knife. For some reason mommy kept pulling her away, she was not amused! But all in all we had a good time. I can't wait to take of picture of her next to the finished product!
On Saturday we went to Boo at the Zoo. It was a lot of fun. Rori didn't much like the costume characters but we had fun visiting with Scott's cousin and her family! Thanks for meeting us Heidi!
I thought this was a pretty good shot of her in her costume. She held still for a whole two seconds!
Rori is getting a lot better at standing. Earlier this week I put her down in the standing position. She stood for a whole 4 seconds before she realized she wasn't holding onto anything and then immediately fell over. She reminds me of the cartoons that can walk off cliffs as long as they don't notice they have done it.

We also got a new car seat! She really likes facing forward. It is sad though that she is so big! Speaking of big girls I can hear that one just woke up so I'll sign off for now :)

Love it! She looks really cute next to that pumpkin and I can tell she is really getting better with her balance since she is up on one knee in a picture. It is sad that they grow so fast but I love when they are forward facing in their car seat! Its so much easier to keep them entertained when you can just make faces in the rear view mirror. :)
I hope you had a very happy halloween!!!

She looks so cute in her costume! I feel sad that she is growing so fast too! It is much for fun to face forward though. Pretty soon, you'll hear a little voice from the back singing to the songs on the radio.
