After having our first dusting of snow this week, fall is definitely here to stay (and I'm worried winter is not going to be too far behind this year!).
We've been busy with work and lots of extra time spent enjoying fall activities around town. I (Katie) was pretty slammed the month of September with photography class and starting a mural in our school's hallway that is set to be done Thanksgiving time. Life is slightly calming down this October, but not too much!
The weather had been so nice we were enjoying all different fall activities--going to a veggie picking farm, fall festivals, evening strolls, seeing the aspens change colors, and more. It is even more fun to enjoy and introduce Lucy to these things since she is so full of wonder and excitement about everything.
She has also been a talking machine these days. Language explosion! Her latest words include:
shake, cow, door, ice, truck, no, toast, turtle, chomp chomp (her alligator's name), chicken("chit chin"), pumpkin ("pump pa"), goat, tree, green ("geen"), blue, color, shoe on, that owl, more cheese, that potty, home, house, book, knock knock, bee, Riley ("Iley"--her friend from daycare), teeth, Pop-Pop (what she calls both her Poppe and Papa), Elmo ("Melmo"--after reading the monster book with him over and over and over), button ("butt"), toot (haha), Bailey.
She still loves singing and dancing. Her 2 songs she "sings" are "Old McDonald" and "Shake Your Sillies". She will sing the "eieio" part of Old McDonald and say some of the animal names. She also says "shake, shake" when she wants you to "Shake Your Sillies Out". Reading is still at the top of her list as well. Lately she has been playing more and more with her baby doll by feeding her, trying to give her water from her sippy cup, and pretending she is sleeping.
The other big thing that has started is the "no" phase. She will say no to pretty much any question you ask her at the moment, so it pretty much means "yes". She's still going on the potty, but she isn't liking it at much as she used to. We think she likes playing more than going up to the bathroom now. The potty has lost some of its magic.
We had some great pictures of her this month so enjoy those here:
We're still trying to get her talking on video, but she has been camera shy.
Hope you all are well. Enjoy the fall!
Love,
