Autumn Days

The leaves are really starting to change colors and fall to the ground, and Alexis has been having fun playing in the leaf piles! Here she is in one of her Halloween outfits...


And here she is tasting the leaves... she won't eat anything lumpy that we try to feed her but has no problem putting leaves in her mouth???!!? Oh well... Gramma Jean promises us that we won't be sending her off to college still eating nothing but oatmeal and mashed up fruit!


Here she is posing by our Halloween porch display. That was two days ago, and by today a chipmunk had eaten almost every single kernel off of the Indian corn.


Alexis has been a little trooper lately... last Friday we found out that she had ear infections in both ears... poor baby! She has come up with a new sound within the last few days... DukaDukaDukaDukaDuka... over and over and over. We are now sure that when she says MAMAMAMA she is actually referring to me, and Uncle Scott will swear on his life that she tried to say peek-a-boo to him the other day when he was hiding from her. Our little monkey still loves to climb the stairs and anything else that gets in her way. She doesn't go around obstacles, she goes over them. She is growing up so fast!
