Fall is officially here and I'd have to say it's my absolute favorite time of year here in Wisconsin. We never really had a REAL fall in Texas... I mean, the weather got nice and all but here... it's so different. The leaves turn all kinds of shades of yellow, brown, orange, and red - so vibrant and beautiful. Then there's the smell in the crisp cool air of burning leaves and it's just the best. Bust out the sweats, crock pot, and hot cider...ahh. Just some of the things I love about the fall: the clothes, the smells, pumpkin foods, pumpkin beer, pumpkin patches, all things pumkin, the beautiful colors, football, apple picking, honey crisp apples, apple pies, soup, halloween, and all the fun fall activities. If only it didn't mean winter was waiting right around the corner. We'll enjoy what we've got now!
Sofia is definitely enjoying the fall. She takes it all in on her walks, and we did our first apple orchard trip last week. It was adorable, and she really enjoyed it. I don't know if it was all the colors or what, but she was kicking and laughing away. It was hilarious! She hung out in the Bjorn while I did all the picking, although she did pick at some leaves and branches of her own. So funny and cute. I will definitely be making some apple sauce for her from the apples we picked. Pics below!
We took Sofie to her first wedding this weekend in Minneapolis. She was so awesome in the car both ways for a 5.5 hour drive. She had a great time at the wedding and we had a blast at the reception! :) Sofie and I almost did not make it to the wedding b/c our sitter backed out Thursday night! We were scheduled to leave the next day! But, thank goodness for wonderful grandmas who "adopt" another baby for the night. A friend of ours offered up his mother who was more than happy to watch Sofie while we partied the night away :) Turned out to be a GREAT and super fun weekend and Sofia is just quite the little traveler.
Today she had her 6 month checkup and we will have to start babyproofing soon. Yikes! She's liking her food and trying new foods every few days. This month she can try a little bit of juice each day, and start snacking on some "puffs" (think baby cherios that melt in baby's mouth).
Stats:
Height - 25 3/4 inches (50th percentile) (apparently she was overmeasured the last time, the dr. said there's no way she did not grow the past three months!)
Weight - 18 pounds, 8.5 ounces (90th percentile)
Other stuff she's up to:
- She finally rolled over and now she's a little roly poly :) She still looks a little confused each time it happens.
- She closes the book when we're reading to her now.
- All of her toys... well all of anything in her path gets put straight into the mouth.
- Crying when Mike or I leave the room (not every time, luckily!). She actually cried twice when Mike had to leave for work and it broke both of our hearts!
- Smiling for the camera; she really hams it up.
- Staying super busy all the time - she doesn't like to be still at all any more.
- Trying to eat with her spoon - usually turns out to be sooo messy, but hilarious.
- As always, keeping us cracking up and loving her more and more each day.
