Fall Activities


Abigail has been doing so many funny things like jumping in her jumperoo, laughing, and making rasberries with her mouth. She is not crawling, but I cannot keep her in one place-she rolls and scoots everywhere. We have been carting her around to lots of places including the Country Adventures bonfire as seen in all the pictures below. We had a visit from Great-Aunt Deb and she went to the bonfire with us, she was unofficial photographer. Take a look at the pictures below with commentary from Abigail.





Mommy took a nap on Sunday and daddy dressed me in this polo summer dress WITH pants in NOVEMBER.. What?......, I think it's cute, that daddy sure has a sense of style.










Look at me...I eat veggies now! I really love my peas!














This is me on the horsey saddle...Weeeee!









Mommies little pumpkin....in a barrel full of pumpkins.


















I look like a peanut next to this tractor wheel.










Me, Mommy, Aunt Deb, and that horsey that I tried to ride....but I am too little.







I do prefer the Sam Adams Okoberfest over the Sam Adams regular Ale....Where did I learn about beer at such a young age?
























My good friend Henry taught me everything I need to know....

Halloween, Gatlinburg, and Surprises

Well, it has only been FOREVER since I started a new post. I feel completely fulfilled in my new job and new role as mom, but it all takes way more time than expected. In the meantime, we have traveled to Gatlinburg to meet Bubie, had Papaw Duffee and Great-Grandma Duffee come visit to help build a patio, dressed up for Halloween and had a surprise visit from Mamaw Duffee. Abigail has also had her 4 month appointment and got a great check-up. Her weight was 50th percentile, her length was 30th and her giant head was 75th percentile. The doctor says this is to house her very big, smart brain-I could not agree more. She is also eating cereal and is scooting around everywhere-I figure we have a solid month until she is mobile. We have lots of stuff planned this month including a trip home, her Baptism, and some time to ourselves as we take advantage of babysitters and family to help. All in all, she is a sweet little baby and I just can't believe how perfect she is! Please see pics with Abigail's comments below.

So, this is when Papaw Duffee and Great-Grandma Duffee came to visit. They worked really hard on building this patio!!!
The very same day, we had an Oktoberfest in our neighborhood park. All the mommies and daddies were drinking lots of brown bottles-more than I usually drink from my bottle!!! I wonder why????
I love playing in my Exersaucer!!! It keeps me busy....
I can get in my big girl stroller now. Someone tell my mom Ugg boots are so 2006.....

We met halfway to meet Bubie in Gatlinburg! We had a great time in the mountains in our beautiful cabin. Getting to the cabin at the top of the mountain was another story....
Thank goodness mommy bought me this strawberry costume while I was still in her belly, I can't imagine being cuter in anything else for my first Halloween!!!!
A bunch of my friends stopped by to trick or treat!!!!! Candy we must get-says Yoda....
Mamaw Duffee decided to surprise me and visit for several days. I really miss all my family in Louisville, but we make the best of it when a visit does come around.
