New Words

This past week has been full of new words...
-wall
-corn
-pants (and today she called them pantsies - I guess I add a lot of "sies" to words!)
-please (which she says so sweetly you want to give her whatever she asks for)
-pen (which means crayon or any writing instrument!)
-gone
-all done
-"B"(use to mean the type that flies and says "zzzz" but now also is Abbi's name)
-air pain (air plane)
-that ___ (like "that Dada" for "That's Dada")
-want ___ (most of the time it's "want t" for want TV)
-o-tay (OK)

Mo-No!

We watched a little bit of Finding Nemo today (we have the last 20 minutes on the DVR since nothing too scary is in that part). Afterwards she noticed that her swimmy diapers, which she took out of the package and put all over the room, had Nemo on them. She asked "Whas dat?" and I told her the fish's name is Nemo. She excitedly said "Mo-No", and I said "no, honey, it's Nemo" - and she very emphatically said "Mo-No" and ran around with her swimmy diaper chanting his name. The best is when she does her "oh, no..." phrase when she can't find something she's looking for since "oh, no Mo-No" sounds really funny!

Mama's Day Spa Experience

Today Autumn treated me to a "thorough" hair combing, a tissue paper treatment (helps improve balance by trying to keep a piece of tissue paper on top of your head), a bow, some fanning, and when she was finished I got a coupon for free chicken nuggets when I buy a large soda at Chick-Fil-A! I'm a lucky mama!

Fireworks!

Autumn saw fireworks last year, but at 9 months, she didn't quite get it so we thought this year would either be a lot of fun or very tramatic! We parked off of Hamilton and watched the Dorney Park fireworks - she loved them! She must have said "whas dat?" and "purple" (her favorite color so those fireworks were special!) at least 20 times during the show. The only issue she had was that we left her cheerios in the car so Dada had to go back and get those - then it was perfect - she ate her cheerios while watching the fireworks. Very cute!

Swimming!

We went swimming for the first time this year at Bev & John's house along with Abbi, Aunt Jess, and Uncle Scott. Autumn took to the water right away - she even kicked and moved her arms. She had a lot of fun and Abbi got to wear a toga!

Silly Girl

Moon

We were walking home from Grammy and Grampy's when she noticed the moon in the sky... I don't know if she's never noticed it before or this was just an epiphany, but she got so excited and was pointing like crazy. We told her that was the "moon" which she repeated back and then kept saying. She kept reaching for it and even grabbed Grampy's hand and made him reach for it, too (he is taller but not that tall, honey!). So everyday she wants see the moon now and if it's daytime and she can't see it, we have to read every book that has a moon in it (there are a lot of them!).

Duckies and Airplanes For Father's Day

Just like Mother's Day, we decided to postpone our Father's Day celebration since Autumn wasn't feeling well (her first cough). We took Autumn to Trexler Park to see the duckies today. We're not sure which she enjoyed more - the duckies or the airplanes that were flying overhead. We also saw lots of "oof-oofs".

Chalk, Planes, and Flowers

We decided to try sidewalk chalk today - she liked it but was more impressed with the dirt on the driveway (she can say "dirt" now!) and the airplanes flying overhead. At one point she just laid down so she could watch a jet go over the house! She also enjoyed smelling the only "flower" in the yard - a dandylion growing along side the deck!

Superstar!

She likes to sing into her "microphone"

Mama's Birthday

Little Baby

We decided not to find out the gender this time so it'll be a surprise for everyone!

Sick Autumn

Poor Autumn threw up again today- again after having a bottle so we're going to call the dairy to see if there were any other complaints... it's strange that she was fine for 48 hours and both times got sick after having milk. We could tell she didn't feel good when she fell asleep on Dada.
