Happy Halloween 2011

We had a great Halloween. Elloitt wasn't thrilled with her costume, but once she was distracted by all the Trick - or Treaters, she didn't mind.

Josh and I (and Elliott) did Pumpkins Sunday night. Here are some photos:

Look what we can do!

Started doing this last night. Time to move the crib mattress down!

All of a sudden she has started climbing everything. I can't believe how she learns so quickly. I thought walking was far off, but now I'm reconsidering. Uh oh.

It's Fall!

Elliott and I went to Black Island Farms last week with some friends from the neighborhood. I, being the great mom I am, didn't take my camera. Thank goodness for camera phones! :) We went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch. Elliott loved all the kids, and just clapped the whole ride.

She liked the pumpkins, but only after they were picked and on my lap. She just liked to pat them. She is really into patting things lately.



Sunday, we had some leaves fall off our trees in the backyard. We decided it was time for Elliott to play in them. She loved it!

We are mobile!

Still scooting, but once in a while she gets up on her knees.

Elliott and her Peach

This girl loves Peaches!

A lot of catching up!

Wow, it has been a while.

Things have changed around our house, Elliott is rolling ALL OVER, and should be crawling soon. She can go from sitting to her tummy, gets frustrated, and rolls over. She has discovered she can roll herself anywhere she wants to go. My favorite is when she is on her back and pushes herself with her legs. It's hilarious. She turned 8 months last Friday. I can't believe it. Time flies. AND, she has two teeth!

We just returned from a Quincy family reunion in San Antonio. We had a great time! Elliott started to not feel well on the plane on the way there, and had a temp of 103 while we were there. We found a clinic, took her in, only for them to tell us it is a virus. She continued with the fever until Saturday night, and is still a little out of sorts. I did take my camera, only to find the battery was dead. Darn. We saw the Alamo, visited Sea World, went to Schlitterbahn Waterpark (well, everyone but me, E and Grandma Jones) and had an all around awesome time together. It was wonderful. Thanks to Chris and Richard for everything!
