Baby Blanket

 

I saw this yarn at the store and loved the colors. I bought it and found this pattern for a baby blanket. Read the pattern and realized I needed another skein. Luckily I was able to find other at the store. It's a simple pattern, except for the beginning corner. I don't think I ever figured it out. So it looks off if you sit a stare at it. I finished it awhile ago.

More Turkeys

 

Each day for 2 weeks before Thanksgiving we all wrote down one thing that we were grateful for. Little Sunshine did help cut out some of the feathers. She also kept calling it a peacock.

For Thanksgiving appetizer I copied this little turkey. It turned out better then I thought it would. 

Something I made

 

So I made this Turkey Button practice thing.

I asked my child to pick out six buttons. She picked out only pink and purples. When it came time for me to sew them on, I asked her what order I should do them in. She instantly said, "No! Not these ones. These ones are too pretty." So I had to have her pick out six more button for the turkey. 

You may also notice that two of the feathers are missing. They were pick and purple. Someone may have stolen them for their color.

And Life Went On

 I tending Isaac, Violet, and Ezra awhile ago. Annabelle loves to play with her cousins. And Violet particularly loves playing with Annabelle. We made a fort with these cool building toys that they have.

 Annabelle has recently learned how to rock herself in the glider.

 My mom and I refinished these chairs and got a table cloth for the table. It looks very pretty, but now I need some red plates. 

 Michael really wants a green yard with just grass in it. But that apparently comes with a lot of work. Like pulling dandelions every day and fixing your sprinklers so they turn on.

And this one likes to play in dirt and water.

October

 Here is Annabelle watching Michael get ready for the day. She loves to watch you brush your teeth.

 She has learned to sit up on her own. But the first few times she would do it while she would cry in her crib to get out. I would come in and she would be sitting there not laying down.

 We have some beautiful trees. Which means we have lots of leaves in our yard. But to be fair, we have lots of beautiful, large trees in our neighborhood, so we would probably have lots of leaves in our yard anyways.

 Michael's work had a pumpkin picking party. We went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch. Annabelle was on our laps and I was freaking out a bit because it was so bumpy. It took a moment for me to be comfortable about not having her in a car seat.

 We got a pumpkin almost as big as her. 

 Her trying to get away. 

 She's still a small thing. The few times I've been able to get her on our scale she been about 15 lbs.

 She also loves to play peak-a-boo. And has learned to do it her self.

 She was an adorable little pumpkin for her first Halloween. For the family events Michael and I also dressed up as pumpkins. Michael also dressed up as Jake from his 'Dead by Daylight' game.

 I decided to carve our pumpkin to look like a Christmas tree. I think I did a good job.

She has learned to clap. And she loves it.

She loves to eat. If you're eating you better have something ready for her to eat.
