Fall Fun

This has certainly been a busy fall, and I am loving every minute of it. I love to step on the fall leaves to hear them crunch under my feet. My great grandma Nellie and Aunt Naomi visited for a week in October, and it was wonderful to see them again! I did my best to entertain them while they were here, and they say I succeeded. This year, I was invited to 4 Halloween parties, and I went out trick or treating on Halloween too!

Another new thing for me is The Little Gym. I've been going there for 7 weeks now. Mommy and I go together every Monday morning. It is a non-competitive gymnastics program, where I am learning to roll and all sorts of new activities every week. The first few weeks, I was very clingy to mommy, but I am really starting to come out of my shell. I love exploration time, where I can run all around and do anything I'd like! Here I am with my instructor Ms. Lauren practicing a backwards flip over the bar.

Here's one of me on one of the balance beams. I love to walk across the beams. Mommy is working with me on using my airplane arms. Here I am at my first Halloween party. It was with a play group in O'Fallon. There were about 20 kids all dressed up in their costumes!

This was my second Halloween party. Aunt Cheryl invited us to the city party. It was very crowded, but I had fun!

Mommy and I walked in a "parade" with all of the other kids, and at the end I got a treat bag!



One Sunday after church, Mawmaw and mommy took me out to Relleke's Farm. They had a toddler play area that I loved. I got to ride around on tractors, and instead of a sand box, they had a corn box! After we were done playing, I got to pick out my very own pumpkin!


The next Halloween activity I did was Boo at the Zoo at the St. Louis Zoo. Aunt Anna, Elijah, and Mawmaw came along with us, and we met some other members of one of our play groups there too. I even got to ride the carousel. I wasn't sure what to think of it at first, but once it was going, I loved it!

The fourth party was at my gym. There were lots of bigger kids there, and it was VERY crowded, but that didn't keep me from playing along with the parachute.


Halloween morning with my unicorn and baby Sally- I love to pose!

HUGS!!! Getting dressed up as a ballerina

Posing!

Ready to go!

Trick or treat! I said "trick or treat" while walking down the street, but would not say it when mommy took me to the door. I did, however, tell everybody "Thank you!"

I grew tired of trick or treating, so mommy let me ride in the stroller and eat a sucker.
Next, we visited Uncle Nick, Aunt Kim, and Bella. They took me trick or treating to a few of their neighbors' houses too!
When mommy took me home, I even went pee pee on the potty!!! All in all, it was a great Halloween!

Here I am once more just to show you what a beautiful young lady I am becoming!
