Fall Fun

It's officially fall and the weather has been perfect for outside outings. We visited the state fair this past weekend and Eli had the time of his life. He got on a real pony and loved every minute of it. He also enjoyed the merry-go-round and the choo-choo train ride. We ate funnel cakes and played games. There was only one meltdown and that was over Eli's decision to trade in the bouncy ball that he won for a huge plastic spongebob baseball bat instead. Elizabeth slept most of the day only waking to smile a few times at the pretty design of her stroller canopy. That same weekend we picked out the family pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. Eli picked out his favorite then held Elizabeth for a few quick pictures on a huge haystack set up near the field. Again, she slept through it all :)

Elizabeth - 1.5 months old

It's hard to believe you are 6 weeks old. You are such a gentle child, and as sweet as a cupcake! You are giving smiles to your mommy, daddy, and big brother Eli. You are sleeping well -only waking once, sometimes twice during the night for a quick snack. You like your swing and especially your bouncy seat. You have suffered a few scrapes (one on your forehead and one on your shin), thanks to Eli. Whenever you cry he rushes to your side. He'll say "what wrong ibby" and tries to comfort you. He also loves to give you night night kisses before bedtime. He cannot wait until you can talk to him!
