The Pumpkin Patch (or UMPKIN as Miss Ellery says)

On Saturday we decided to head up to Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury for our yearly jaunt. This is Ellery's third trip - although John says one doesn't count because it was in utero LOL. I disagree!

It was a perfect fall day and Ellery had a great time checking out all the pumpkins, "talking" to other kids and eating donuts....really who could ask for a better day??!!

The one downer was that the person we asked to take a picture of the 3 of us clearly didn't know how to operate a digital camera. . as there was no picture when we got home. bummer.

My Baby girl is 21 months old today

Inching closer and closer to 2 :(

I know. . I know. . I say it every single month - but I still can't believe it!!!!

I have lots and lots of pictures to share from our weekend etc. so I will do that in another post :)

Anyway - Ellery's vocabulary is out of control - I definately have to get some of her words on video because I love the way she says some of them :) like PUMPKIN - that's my new favorite. . it's pretty much "umpkin" lol

She's such a little lovebug too - she loves to cuddle and give kisses and "loves" (on her terms of course - wonder where she gets that.. . DADDY LOL)

Her new thing this past weekend was waking up and YELLING "mommy mommy mommy mommy"

good times. :)

Yeah - I'm bad at this :)

I forget to update .. . LOL

I know. . i'm bad

anyway - not a ton going on. the usual stuff. . . . Ellery's vocabulary continues to grow at a rate that just astounds me LOL

She's got a little cold which John brought home for us (thanks Daddy) . . . mostly just a stuffy/runny nose. . not stopping her too much LOL

She LOVES her little people soo much - especially the animals. . she LOVES lining them all up (see photo) and having them look out the window and walk around the big window sill in our place!

she walks up and down the stairs (mostly) like a big girl now (also see picture) which scares me :( and makes me a little sad :(

my mom got a new kitten so Ellery is over the moon in LOVE. .

we went to the Children's Museum 2 weeks ago - which was fun. . but overwhelming for Ellery I think. ..

This weekend I think we're going to visit the Pumpkin Patch also - so look for those pics:)

anyway - I wanted to post mostly to put some updated pics on here :)

so here you go!!
