Pumpkin Patch

You can't do Halloween without a trip to the pumpkin patch!

That's what Mom says. And a REAL patch - not a field that they place all the pumpkins in. We visited one just up the road from our house on A highway. We walked around the patch and barn, did a hay maze, I counted (some of) the pumpkins and we posed for a few pictures. We didn't stay too long as it was a little chilly for Kalia, but it was still a good time. We didn't bring any pumpkins home either as Grampa on the farm grew some for me and we're going to visit him next weekend!

 

Kalia - 7 Months

Our baby girl is growing up way too fast! Our big 7-month-old is all over the place now! She doesn't really crawl, but rather army crawls her way everywhere, unless she's sitting up or rolling around to get her hands on something she's found. She loves to find paper and play with it or put it in her mouth. She loves to play with all of her toys, especially ones that make noise. She keeps a pretty keen eye on big brother, Beckett, on whatever he's doing. He loves to sing "Pat-A-Cake" and "Pop! Goes the Weasel" to her and read books to her. He can get her to giggle most any time. She voices her opinion a lot now too. You can hear her 'talking' and 'singing' with an occasional high pitched scream every now and then. When we can't get the bottle ready fast enough you will hear her saying "mama mama mama" or sometimes she likes to whisper "da da da da".

She's always had a pretty good sleep schedule. We've recently dropped her 5am feeding and just let her sleep now. She gets up between 7-7:30 and usually has a short snooze here or there in the morning, takes a good nap in the afternoon, and then is ready for bed & asleep by 8:30pm.

As for eating, she's had a variety of 'solid' (as in pureed) foods such as sweet potato, green beans, avocado, pears, peaches, applesauce and blueberries. Her favorites are probably avocados, pears & peaches. She loves to gobble them up!

Here's a few shots from September...

 Naptime for Kalia...so peaceful (and comfy)

 Kalia learned how to sit

 and now gets up on all fours!

 Once up, she wiggles her bottom...
appropriately now called 'twerking' thanks to Miley Cyrus

Gramma & Aunt Molly came for a weekend where we enjoyed a Royals game.
Molly helped me with some mini golf

 

My friend Megan came with us too!

Kalia was sure a trooper - it was sooooo HOT at the game!
She didn't make a peep!

 

Of course a game is not complete without getting on the jumbo-tron!

Later that weekend, Gramma, Molly & Mom went to the Michael Buble concert.
They said it was a lot of fun!



Kalia - 6 Months

Kalia is sure getting to be a busy little girl! She's rolling and scooting all over the floor now. She loves to play with her toys, especially the ones that sing music to her. She's getting up on all fours which means she'll be crawling before we know it! Most of the time she get up, moves her hand and ends up pushing herself backwards instead of forward. She loves to talk. Beckett also loves to play and talk to her! He's getting to become quite the big brother and helper. He likes to help feed Kalia her bottle sometimes. When we can't get her bottle to her fast enough you can hear her say "mom mom mom mom"! We're counting that as her first words :) She's also now eating some solid food. She has eaten sweet potatoes, green beans, bananas, applesauce and LOVES avocados! Every time we feed them to her she just can't seem to get enough!
