Some fall time fun

Autumn the ballerina

Snuggles

This was the cutest thing! Autumn wanted Chad to snuggle at bed time and he fell asleep with her. :)

V-Day Photo Shoot

We had a little spur-of-the-moment photo shoot with Autumn and Leah on Valentines Day and these are some of my favorites.

Potty Training Manupulation

My darling Autumn has found a new way to manipulate me. She hates going to bed so she always makes up an excuse like "I'm so hungry" right when it's bed time. She also dislikes sitting on the toilet for potty training time. So yesterday when I told her (for the third time) to get back to her room because she's supposed to be taking a nap, she said "But I have to go potty!" *sigh* It was the first time she ever said that so, of course, I gave in. I know what she was trying to do, but this potty thing has been such a struggle and what if she really had to go?

On a different note, we've had the most wonderful Spring-like weather while the rest of the country has been buried under snow and ice. My parents and little sister are supposed to drive out here this week so I'm hoping and praying the weather doesn't hold them back so they can enjoy nicer weather for a change!

Leah's First Walk

This morning the weather was warmer (30's) so the girls of the house bundled up for a nice walk to get out of the house. At two and a half weeks old it was Leah's first outdoor outing. The pictures here are ordered backwards so the one at the bottom is us getting ready to leave. We walked to the library to return some videos where Autumn found a fun puddle to jump in. She was singing "Singin' in the Rain" while she jumped and tried to imitate splashes from Gene Kelly! Leah slept most the time. As you can see she was completely comfortable and cozy during our winter walk.

Thanksgiving 2009

I know I'm going backwards with my posts here, but I missed a lot of the fall stuff. This is Thanksgiving. Autumn was dancing with the Yo Gabba Gabba crew in the Macy's parade. Later she was coloring and playing football, and then there's a clip of playing with Papa (Chad's dad). It was just us, Chad's parents, sister (Stephanie) and her husband (Dustin) at our house for dinner. All in all it was a really nice weekend!
