The Pumpkin Patch

Kyrah, Lydia, Nick, Tina and I all went to Eckert's Farm Sunday Oct. 19th (on PwC's dime - a tax social event). It was a great time. Kyrah loved all the animals and playing in the straw. She rolled the pumpkins around (even the big ones) and she threw the apples like they were balls because that is what Daddy is teaching her to do. Also this weekend she is finally saying the "ma" sound. I have noticed that she says it when she wants something or she is unhappy so I try to respond to her when she says it -sometimes I just say "I am over here" or I come help her do whatever she is trying to do. Hopefully she will associate the sound with me. When we ask her "where is ma ma?" she looks at me but I don't think she has made the connection yet that she can say it and I will respond, but it is a step in the right direction. Here are some pictures of her great time at Eckert's

Look at all these apples!

She was sitting in the middle of the pumpkin patch while we were picking out pumpkins... she was just happy playing with her one pumpkin.

But this is the one we finally picked out to take home and carve.

I think this was her favorite part. She could have played with the goats all day.

Whoa... so many pumpkins... all for me??

The end of the day... she was very tired afterall she was 2 hours late for her nap so the smiles were over...

Sept and Oct Pics

I finally downloaded pictures from my camera. Below are pictures of Kyrah playing at our neighborhood BBQ we had Sunday night. She liked playing on the toys but mainly crawled around.

This was her favorite. She liked Daddy pushing her around.

She was a little short to make this one move....soon though.

Here is Kyrah showing off in her cute dress that she wore to a friend's wedding reception. The dress didn't last too long because she could not crawl in it, but it was cute for about an hour.

STG Homecoming

First I will say sorry for the poor quality of pictures - they are from my phone. The camera I brought along had dead batteries. This weekend was Ste. Gen's homecoming which is a big parade. Dennis was even in the parade so Kyrah, Grandma and I met up with Jess, Anna, Dale, Lydia, Nick and some other friends to watch the parade and get candy! This was Kyrah's second parade, a few weeks ago she went to see the Valle parade (the other school in our town). She loves watching the parade go by and really likes the band. Here is a picture before we went to the parade - you will never quess where we are at!!

Also, let me mention that the mascot for STG is the Dragon - isn't her shirt great??!!

This was her first McDonald's experience as well. She likes the fries and cheesebuger - well the bread and cheese mainly.

Here she is waiting for the parade to get started.

After the parade we had dinner (she was cranky - missing a nap). Luckily she fell asleep on the way to the game. She slept for about 30-40 minutes then woke up to watch the Dragon beat the Bombers in a butt kick'n. Not sure of the final score - we left at half time and it was 47-13.

She now has 2 teeth on bottom and I think 2 teeth on top. She will not let me put my finger in her mouth to verify she has two on top, but when she bites on things I can see two teeth marks. She is crawling everywhere and will practice walking when we hold her hands, but she gets tired and her legs just sort of fall down and she is done walking.

The little pill has also been getting up in the middle of the night crying. Of course Daddy goes in and picks her up and takes her out to the couch to go back to sleep. He will have to learn that he can't keep doing this or else she will get used to it and expect it everytime. But that is a Daddy for you.

As soon as I find my connector to my camera to download new photos I will. She has some great pictures of the BBQ we went to last night.
