Growing Up

SERIOUSLY!!!

“Look Mom, I’m standing”

“This is the greatest thing ever!”

  “What?”

“You know I’m cute!”

 

In other recent Abby news we seem to have entered a clingy stage. She’ll be content for a little bit then she wants me to hold her. If she even sees me she reaches and then clings to me. I’m hoping this is just a stage because it’s hard to do anything!

*We will be lowering her mattress ASAP!

Tumbling Toddler

Awhile ago I bought a gymboree groupon for a month of classes. I finally signed up for a class this week; the expiration deadline was quickly approaching. Kate absolutely LOVED going to the play/tumble class. The teacher couldn’t believe she’d never been to a class before. She even answered all the teacher’s questions to the class at the beginning. It turns out she actually is learning some stuff at home! The only trouble she had was when they did circle time or played a game following instructions. She kept trying to run off to play. I shouldn’t be surprised because that’s how she is at home. On one hand I wished I had done this earlier considering how enjoyable it was for her, on the other hand I still think it’s way over priced and not worth how much it costs. We probably won’t continue when our month is over but as she gets older I will put her in something, probably gymnastics. I wish Jason could see her there because she is definitely in her element and it’s fun watching her “shine.” She was probably the most energetic child in the class. Surprise, Surprise :)

Halloween Girls

We had a crazy Halloween weekend.  The weekend started with a Trunk or Treat at our church. Kate was a little uncomfortable with so many people, especially with any costume that was even remotely scary. She preferred to spend most of the time outside with Jason who was getting the trunk ready for the trick or treaters. Holidays get better every year because the older Kate is the more she enjoys all the festivities. Kate did win cutest costume; I really think it was the hair!

Saturday we had to stop by our neighbors for a pumpkin carving contest. We then went to our friends party in their neighborhood. Sooo much fun, even with the piñata mishap!

Sunday we went trick or treating to a couple of homes in my parents neighborhood then back to our neighborhood for a little more treats. Luckily we ran into our neighbors which made it more fun for Kate since she’s a little hesitant when she’s by herself. Abby was her adorable self but stayed back for our neighborhood trick or treating since she was so tired.
