Annie Discovers Pumpkins

I was going to cook a sugar pumpkin the other day and decided to let Annie explore it first.She thought it was a ball.

I think she is saying "ball" here. Please ignore the trash. Thank you.

We want to take Annie to a pumpkin patch soon...more pictures to follow. :)

Here is a smattering of pictures from our month so far. We had a long week of rain that was actually quite refreshing after the summer heat. Our little Fall garden got it's fair share of water for the time being.

Josh found this snail crawling along the house during all the rain.
I made German apple pancake to celebrate the Fall weather. It makes the house smell so good!
Annie loved to watch the rain fall and the birds out our front window. She looked so cute that morning I took a couple pictures of her...

Sleepy head.

Annie loves stuffed animals. I thought kids would like actual toys better, but I guess it's just cause Annie is a girl and likes soft fuzzy things like her mommy.
This morning Annie was drinking water through a straw. I've let her drink water before from one, but this time she held it all by herself.

She did great and didn't even spill it till a long while later. Maybe I should get her a sippy cup that includes a straw.

She's all girl

I forgot to add to my last post...
Annie has been obsessed with shoes. She tries to put mine on her feet and on my feet all the time. It looks so cute to see her little toes in my high heels! I wonder if she will try to borrow mine when she is a teenager. Hmm...

The other day I caught her trying to put my purse strap on her shoulder. I helped her put it on and she looked so proud of herself to be just like mommy. She has tried to put her daddy's laptop bag on her shoulder as well, but the way she did it the strap just went over her head. I think we get more entertainment watching her than anything else!

Pictures!

Annie enjoys "helping" me in the kitchen. Her favorite thing to do is open the baking cupboard and find all my measuring cups and spoons to bang on the floor. A few times she found some small metal bowls that made a beautiful crashing noise. The louder the better!


Last Saturday we cleaned out a car a friend has been letting us use. Annie inspected it and gave us gold stars. ;)
