Pumpkin Picking

October 20th
MaKayla had her one-year check up at the doctors. Poor thing had to get four shots. She is perfectly healthy. She is in the 20th percentile. Great things come in small packages. Afterwards, we went to Edward’s Apple Orchard to pick out our pumpkins. MaKayla had a good time and picked out her pumpkin right away. We put three little pumpkins in front of her and let her choose which one she wanted. Of course we had to get some yummy donuts and apple cider. MaKayla really enjoyed helping me eat my donut and loved the apple cider. It was a great time!
Later that day the shots had set in and she didn’t feel that well so we just lounged the rest of the day. One little cutie bug!
This is the pumpkin that MaKayla picked out.
Two cuties!
October 21st
MaKayla loves to sit in her Princess chair and watch cartoons. She has become quite cleaver and has learned that if she climbs up in the chair she can then climb up on the couch. Little stinker!

Poor baby still wasn’t feeling the best but we decided to carve our pumpkins. Daddy cut off the top so that MaKayla could clean hers out but she thought it tasted too good to throw away.

She got one good hand full with Daddy’s help then we had to take it away and finish it for her because she kept eating it. Yummy!
MaKayla’s little pumpkin turned out cute! Good job Daddy!
MaKayla will all three of our pumpkins.

Daddy Bonding Time

October, 15th
I got home around 1:30pm then rushed over to pick up my baby girl. I missed her so much!
Daddy found a way to keep her mind off of not feeling well. Hmm, what else do they do while I am not around.

October 13-14th, MaKayla was sick while I was gone and wanted Daddy to hold her all the time. He enjoyed all the snuggle time. You have to take advantage of it when you can get it now because it doesn’t happen as often as it used to.
Poor little thing feel asleep during dinner.

October 10th, Daddy and MaKayla were playing peek-a-boo but she decided it was more fun to walk around the house with the blanket on her head.
October 6th, I had to leave for a business trip for 10 days. It was so hard to leave my baby for so long. It was torture. Daddy and her had a good time bonding while I was away. He took her frog hunting in the front yard and they did happen to find a baby frog, which from what I have been told MaKayla loved.
Hmm, I wonder if she kisses the frog if it will turn into a Prince? On second thought, forget my first thought!
September 29th
It was MaKayla’s first day in the walkers’ room at church and she got bite twice by another little girl. At first the room attendant told me that she was bite on the finger but that was no mark and that MaKayla was fine. I could tell she had been crying because her face was all red. I looked at her finger and didn’t see anything so we just headed home. When we got home we pulled up her sleeve and saw these two bite marks. My poor baby! I called the church later to let them know that the bite was worse then they originally thought. They had a talk with the other girls Mom and she will be watch more carefully in the future.

I just love this picture! If you look hard enough, you can see all three of us. Kind of spooky in a way.

1 Year Old Pictures

MaKayla’s one-year pictures were a bit more challenging to capture than in the past. She is on the move and doesn’t want to stand still and you might as well forget her sitting. That is a very occasion. Andy and I both got a workout with trying to keep MaKayla on this red dot on the floor for pictures. We spent most of the time chasing her. I was surprised at how well the pictures turned out. The JcPenny’s photographer was so good and just took pictures as MaKayla walked towards her. Here are some of my favorite shots. There are many more but I didn’t want to overload you. Sweet & Innocent
I just love this picture! The little tutu is just darling on her. She is our little Princess!

How precious!
The flower petals caught her interest for about one minute.
Grandma Sue made this Precious Moments quilt for MaKayla and gave it to her on her first birthday. I am sure she will treasure this quilt always. And of course we had to get a picture of her with "bear".
Daddy bought her this Harley Davidson outfit for her birthday. Andy put it on her and said that the pants fit just right and she wouldn’t be able to wear them for long. I had to laugh because they are capri pants and should be much shorter on her.

What a cutie pie!
