pumpkins and more

Yesterday we took Katelyn on her first trip to get pumpkins. We went to Fulton's Farms which had a ton of pumpkins in different shapes and sizes to choose from. We got two big orange ones a small white one and a few gourds. We were able to get some straw and Brad cut some corn and we did a display out in the front yard by our big tree. The only thing we have left to buy to finish it off are mums. We'll probably check out Andy's garden sometime soon for those and I will take pictures of the finished product. We are thinking of possibly doing a family picture in front of it also. We both think it turned out pretty good.

On the car ride home...

The semi-finished project.

Here are some random pictures that I've been wanting to add.

Despite the face, she did like the crackers!

Good shot of her two bottom teeth.

Hi kitty! She was laughing at the cat.

Yum, chicken dinner.

Happy birthday mommy!

Halloween costume

Awhile back Brad and I were discussing Halloween costume ideas and I didn't really care as long as she was adorable but Brad was really leaning towards lady bug. So I was on a mission to find the cutest/cheapest costume. When we took our shopping trip to the outlet mall a few weeks back we found in the Carter's store a cute one but they didn't have her size left. So just last week I found it on sale through JCPenney's website. So I snatched it up and it arrived over the weekend. I can't wait to see how she will look in it. I also had to get a black long sleeve onesie to complete the look!

adventures in dinner

So we thought we'd try a meal of sorts and did mixed veggies with beef and bananas. Well she loved the bananas and polished off the whole jar but the other well, here are her reactions...

yuck!

Oh well, we intend to keep trying on the meats!

Here are some more new pictures. Katelyn has figured out how to pull herself up into standing positions in her crib, play pen and on the couch.

Never forget, always remember.

8 months

8 months as of yesterday. Its going by so fast, and we love every minute of it. Here are some pictures of her trying chicken/rice/carrots. She ate a little before she decided she didn't like it and would turn her head every time I tried to give her more.

adventures in pears

So as it turns out I think Katelyn's favorite fruit is now pears. She gobbled these down but at times I couldn't give them to her fast enough! She was so impatient!!! I also attempted the sippy cup last night and she did not go for it. She tried to pick it up and play with it and by the end got so frustrated because she was so unsure that she started bawling. I gave in and put it in a bottle and fed her. Soon I hope she learns to hold it herself.
