Pumpkin Patch



We made our first trip to the pumpkin patch today with Selah. We got to go on a hay ride pulled by two humongous horses. Their names were Saucer and Dan, and they were Percheron draft horses from France. Similar to Clydesdale horses, but those guys are from Scotland. Just a little history lesson for you, as I learned that today as well. Selah walked around a bit attempting to pick up the jumbo pumpkins, but resorted to using them as a drum instead. As you can see above she finally found one that was just her size. We left with 4 pumpkins and 4 ears of corn for $11. What a deal, and fun was had by all!

We have internet again

We went to the park today and visited with Aunt Jenny and Uncle Dustin.
Selah rolled around in a pile of leaves with her dada.

She loves sharing 'doggy' with us. Actually
she is good at sharing everything.

One of Selah's favorite activities is to climb in this bin and look at her books.

Hi folks! Well we broke down and finally decided to hook up to the internet. So, hopefully I will be able to post more often.
Since I posted last Selah has gotten even better at walking. She is a walking champ! Well we say she is a champ or a baby pro at everything, but that's just because we're so dang proud of her. Dan mentioned today that it is a bit sad seeing how fast time goes, but it is so exciting seeing her change. And we get a front row seat! She is getting so good at learning new words. Her latest word is 'bye bye'.
Dan and I have been busy with school. Despite our hectic schedule we find more time to spend together now than before, funny how that happened. I have such an amazing husband, who is supportive, helpful, devoted, and loving. I am so in love with my little family more than ever!

We go walking

We have BIG news!!! Our beautiful girl is walking!! (I'm a bit late with this post, but better late than never, huh) It is a wonderful change that has taken place in our home. Selah has mastered many new skills since her birth, but walking is a skill that actually takes her from baby to toddler. Many people have told me that this is the best age. But every age and stage she has been at I have loved, so I can only assume that as mom to the most amazing baby girl life will only get better and better. Her smiles, laughter, little voice, facial expressions, and her curiosity bring us such joy.
