Does Fisher Price Need a Model?

Autumn loved her new Push Lion - an early Birthday present. She likes posing with it - so Fisher Price, give us a call (we'll even put pants on her!).

Mmmm, beans!

Autumn tried some kidney beans today...she like them. Soon we're on to chili!

Autumn's First Pumpkin

We went to the Scarecrow Festival in Emmaus today. Autumn picked out her first pumpkin at the Farmer's Market. It was very exciting! Mommy and Daddy were more excited about the delicious carrot cake samples at the one store - yummy!

New "do"

How cute!

We entered Autumn in the "Cutest Baby Contest" at the Lehigh Valley Mall. It's a fundraiser for the March of Dimes. The baby with the most votes (dollars) wins so we're sure she won't be in the running but we think she's the cutest (and so does she!). She's #115 in case you're at the mall. Her photo was also in the Sunday Morning Call (9/14/08) on the right side of the center spread.

Peas please!

Jim wonders if Autumn is our child since her new favorite food is peas - she hates the pureed ones but LOVES the whole sweet peas. Jim loathes peas so I guess she either takes after me on this one or he needs to talk to the mailman ;)

"Look at my Tutu"

I made Autumn a tutu - just for fun. She likes to feel all the pieces of tulle. Very cute!

New Ride at Grampy's Funland

Grampy built Autumn a swing! Even though she used to love her infant swing, she wasn't too sure of this one. Simba was trying to help (he got his own ride later!)

Scary Face

How can such a sweet, beautiful child make such as scary face?

Hamburg-er Festival

We went with Grammy and Grampy to the Hamburg-er Festival in Hamburg today. It was a nice small-town street festival which reminded me of CornFest in Shippensburg. We met a purple cow and Patty the hamburger (get it?). Afterwards we went to Cabella's and saw fish - which amazed Autumn- and some dead and stuffed animals (thankfully Autumn doesn't understand and can't ask questions yet!). We ended up at Cracker Barrel for dinner and you may notice that Autumn's clothing is a bit different in the last photo - she had an "accident" (a large smelly one!) and the only other clothing in the car was her bathing suit!

A Momentous Day!

Autumn's top right tooth came through today (4 down, dozens to go!), she went on her first trip to On the Border, and she took her first steps today. What a way to end her ninth month and enter her tenth!



*warning: there is music so don't play at work ;)

Grammy's 80th Birthday!

We surprised Grammy (aka Great-Grammy) at the Chinese Buffet for her birthday! I think Grammy likes it there since she ate as much as Uncle Marc! While Autumn couldn't enjoy all the wonderful Chinese food, she did have rice - puffed rice - not quite the same but she enjoys playing with it and having some make it to her mouth. It was a very nice day and I'm still full!

Yogurt - Yum!

So Autumn had her first taste of sugar today - none of her baby food has sugar added but we're adding in some foods other than fruits and veggies and decided on yogurt (Yo-Baby Organic Banana!). No surprise, she loved it and I couldn't get it in her mouth fast enough!

Peaches!

Peaches are a hit!
