Packing then Moving and now ...

Christmas! It is finally time for us to move into the Christmas spirit. So tonight, after a very, very long day of fighting with comcast (still have no internet at home) ... we decided that ice cream & a Christmas tree was just what the doctor ordered. We got ice cream & Haley had her own cone ...


But we are sad to report ... NO TREE. We normally go to the Home Depot to get our tree but this year, it was a very sad sight to see. VERY FEW TREES to pick from. Oh wait, it is like 2-3 weeks later than we usually buy our tree. Hope we find one tomorrow! Anyone got an extra Christmas tree laying around?? Haley still enjoyed the ice cream (& we did too). :)

Haley's Doctor's Appointment

this morning, i took haley to the doctor's office for her 15-month check-up. i have yet to understand why they lock me in a small room with a 15-month from 30 minutes to an hour without toys or books or anything. what do they expect me to do with a wild toddler? needless to say, we ran around the room. haley got into everything she could while i tried to keep her from digging in the trash or better yet that thing were they dispose of needles under the sink. luckily, we found a bouncy ball in our diaper bag - that works well to entertain a toddler. however, we did resort to putting on her winter hat & letting her run around looking so cute. oh wait, she took off her sock too ...

by the way, she is growing like a weed ... weighing in at 26 lbs (90th percentile) & she is 32 3/4 inches tall (97th percentile).

ps. did i mention that she peed on me after the doctor came in? memories!

The Mountains

mommy & daddy took vacation this week. at the beginning of the week, we went to a cabin in the mountains for some time to just chill as a family! it was really pretty up there.

mom especially enjoyed the outdoor fireplace!

Trick OR Treat

this afternoon, the frog & i wanted to spread some holiday cheer to daddy's office. off we set on our little adventure.

My First Pony Ride

friday night, we went to fall at the farm. it is a staff event for mommy & daddy. it was lots of fun. i got to ride a pony for the first time ever! they also had bluegrass music, face painting, family photos, funnel cake, hay rides, a bonfire & much more. i even got to pet big horses in the barn. can't wait for next year! wanna take me on another pony ride?

Pumpkin Festival

mom convinced daddy & lia's parents that we should go to the pumpkin festival at stone mountain on friday morning. daddy wasn't too sure about such plans but we set out early with high hopes & a run through the chick-fil-a drive through. we got there a few minutes before they opened at 10 a.m. only to find out that most of the fun stuff (ok, all of the fun stuff) didn't open until 11 a.m. yikes! why do they do that?? we had lots of time for some pictures with the pumpkins ... good deal for you, huh?? enjoy! ps. it was great to be outside running around & enjoying the weather!

lia poses with pumpkins too!

Zoom & Eating Burritos

marnie thought that i should try a bite of her burrito ~ i was happy to partake in such yumminess!

i had so much fun at costco when mommy & daddy let me ride in the cart. it is not how you would expect ...

Cheerios & Bubbles

mommy & daddy actually let me eat cheerios in the living room. (it was saturday morning.) i'm such a big girl - i only spilled a little.

oooo - bubbles! party marty is so much fun.

Water, Water Everywhere!

i love playing in the water & daddy sure does love squirting me with the hose. summer time fun! you really should come over & have some fun with us. :)

Build Me A House!

i have never in my whole life (all 13 months) seen a house get built so fast. mommy & daddy decided that we should get a new house. thought you might enjoy some pictures of how fast they are building the house. oh yes & believe it or not ~ someone already wants to buy our house. i'm gonna be sad to leave but i'm sure i'll like the new house too. come visit me soon!

I Went To Visit Grandma!

mommy, aunt ha & i went to visit grandma in florida last week. aunt ha wanted to see the beach so grandma took us to the beach for dinner. and then we got to play ... check it out. grandma let me play in the water! i love it.

Pillows

i have found that i like pillows. mom buried me when she was making the bed. (i know it is shocking that mom was making the bed.)
