everyday dance party

B and I have this routine every morning. After breakfast, we go in her room, put on some music, and I dance around like a lunatic while she laughs and shrieks. She loves it, and I have to say it's become one of my favorite times with her. Since we've been at this for 9 months now, I'm beginning to notice her musical preferences. The girl loves Weezer, Bob Marley and Jack Johnson!

Most of the time, we play worship music in B's room, and she seems to like it. But she shrieks and squeals whenever we crank up the ol' ipod. Maybe it's a fallout of all those late nights her bleary-eyed mom tried to mumble the words to some classic lullaby, and then gave up and sang u2 songs instead.

the cutest 'lil pumpkin





Exciting news! My parents have finally made the move to Washington! They're now only about 40 minutes away from us--a huge improvement from 5 hours! We've been at their house a lot this week, helping them get settled in. Today we went to check out a pumpkin patch near their house. It was fun--we picked out a pumpkin (which I plan to cook and try feeding to Bailey--) and Bailey had a good time trying to get fistfuls of straw into her mouth. She even had her photo taken for a local newspaper!

Fall is here; the weather is crisp and cool, I have a persistant urge to bake things, and the trees are so pretty they're practially a driving hazard.

Cheers to October!
