Halloween Party

We went to a Halloween party this weekend! Sweetpea had lots of fun. At first she wasn't sure what to think of all the people dressed up but then she started to find stuff to play with and was running all over the place! We dressed up as USC fans and she got to sport her USC outfit.

We also got a pumpkin this weekend at the pumpkin patch. The ground was really muddy from all the rain Friday so we didn't play much, but Sweetpea enjoyed looking at all the pumpkins.

Sweetpea started saying her name this week and it's really cute! Whenever she sees herself in the mirror now she'll point and say her name! She also has been praying with us before we eat. She clasps her hands together while we say our prayer and waits very patiently!

We have a busy busy week ahead of us and Sweetpea's class is having a Halloween party Friday - lots of fun to be had! :)

Chi-Town weekend!

Sweetpea made her first trip to Chicago this weekend. She had lots of fun, too! We went to visit my friend, Reena. Sweetpea played all day Saturday and was very good, especially considering she didn't get a single nap that day! We went to the Shedd Aquarium and she loved seeing all the fish and other animals. Her leg has gotten much better, so she was running all over the place!
That night she got to see Aunt Christi for a little bit because she happened to be in Chicago at the same time. Today we came back and made a little stop in Bloomington on the way home to visit the mall. Sweetpea rode the carousel there and had a blast! She missed her pony at home, though, and was happy to be back. Here is a video and a picture of our trip to the aquarium this weekend.

Grandparent's Day!

Sweetpea had her first Grandparent's Day at school on Friday! Nana W. came up to sit with her in class. They had lots of fun. Here's a picture of Sweetpea and Nana at school.

The rest of the weekend we had fun visiting with Nana. The weather was cold, so we didn't go anywhere outside, but we played at home and went to Toys R Us, where Sweetpea really liked playing with the train set.

Sweetpea is walking a little bit better today, so we're hoping that the leg problem just heals itself since they haven't found anything else wrong. Hope everyone has a great Columbus Day tomorrow!

New words

Sweetpea has been saying lots of new words lately! The other day she started pointing at a picture of bubbles in one of her books and saying "bubble."

Grandma and Grandpa E. came to visit Saturday. They brought Sweetpea some new blocks that she has really enjoyed playing with! We had lots of fun visiting with them!

Unfortunately, Sweetpea's leg is starting to hurt again so we may be back to the doctor this week to see if we can find out anything new. We'll keep you updated.
