Reduce, Reuse, Recycle...

We got the toy in the picture from our cousin Aricin. It has some little pieces that she would put in her mouth and then walk around...it made Ryan and I nervous so took the pieces away but left the toy for her to play with...but now she takes it from room to room, turns it upside down and pops a squat. As you can see in the photos, she is quite proud of her little seat. She has also found another "baby" toy, it is a teddy bear that talks and sings and she is in love with it, pressing it to perform for her and dancing to the music.

Good Night My Angel...

"George" is a treasure here still and he is a companion now that we rock in our big rocking chair, cover with our little blankets, carry around the house and take with us a lot of places. Two nights ago our pumpkin pajamas came to bed with us too...how can the world get any better...George, pumpkin pajamas and a blanket all while I get to snooze the night away(the only thing better might have been if I had my pumpkin socks on too).

Going for a little dip...

We sort of started Parent/Tot swim classes on Saturday, but there was a little problem with the instructor not showing up. We had signed up for a class in September and found out the first day of class that we were the only participants and there was no instructor, so we tried another Y's Parent/Tot class. This time another little boy is in the class but there was no instructor. Next Saturday there is supposed to be an instructor. Anyway we did get some cute shots in our one piece...we decided a bikini might be a little showy for the first day of class...and a cute movie of dad and daughter in the water. Which by the way she loves the water, she cried when we took her out of the water, but we thought with her lips as blue as they were we didn't need a frozen baby...

A tisket, a tasket, a pink bicycle basket?

We have a pink bicycle basket that is for some reason seen as a good hat. Well, anything, tupperware, toys, etc seem to need to be worn as a hat. The pink bicycle basket just happens to stay on her head. (Sorry about the blurriness of the pictures something is going with our camera and its settings).

Animal Sounds

We have been trying to catch some of the animal sounds we have been learning on camera....here are a few. You can also hear: "Bumpin". Mama has gotten some of the Halloween decorations away but it is hard to put the pumpkin bowl on the kitchen table away because it is such fun to have her notice and "count"(the faster finger pointing and the "du, du") the pumpkins on the bowl. We like to count a lot , every time we are anywhere(especially the grocery store) we are "counting". I miss the pumpkins on the bales of hay. For now we are left counting the ceramic roosters above the meat refrigerators:) Also our bear, lion and anything that growls gets the fancy one armed movement because Aunt Lyndsay started teaching her to "claw" like a bear so therefore anything that growls must have the arm movement.

Halloween Giggles

One of the ways to announce "I am ready to play" for Dalby is to lay her head back on the couch, a chair, anything and just wait to be tickled. She has gone into the living room from the rec room(while we were in the rec room) and arched her back on the couch and then starting grunting, waiting for us to come in the living room to "get her".
