These were taken about two weeks ago when we still had some summer color. I was surprised that the roses were still going strong up until a few days ago. I will miss them, until next year 🙂
Apple Picking
After we visited the pumpkin patch we spent the early evening picking apples with our good friends, the Rusts, at Sm’Apples in Ferndale.
On a Roll
This is what I found the little monkey doing when I turned my back (and left the bathroom door open) for a minute. Of course I let her continue for a little bit longer while I grabbed the camera.
35, 36, 37 & 38 Weeks
Just a wee bit behind on posts, whoops. Ada is keeping us on our toes these days. She is walking along furniture now that she can pull herself to stand. She also can balance on two legs for a couple seconds, but only when distracted by a toy.
With all this new found freedom Ada is getting more curious about things that are definite “no-no’s”, like our wood stove, potted plants, cords, etc. It’s exciting to see her morph into an intelligent little person, but challenging all at the same time 🙂
Pictured above: Ada loves her “touch & feel” books, or as I like to call them, “taste, touch & feel” books. She enjoys licking the fur on some of the animals 🙂
34 Weeks
Ada has been pulling herself up onto things lately. She especially loved it when I asked her to stand up in the crib for her weekly photo shoot.
33 Weeks
Ada loves to splash and play in water. I recently had to move her bathtub from off the counter and into our tub because of her love for splashing.
Her newest skills include giving high fives and blowing bubbles (aka farting sounds…yes, we encourage her) on command. She is still pretty fun to have around.
Backyard Fun
Only a few pictures left to share of our California visit.
We spent one beautiful evening playing with the kids along with my cousin Jason, Rosa & their son Malachi.
30, 31 & 32 Weeks
Besides crawling, Ada’s newest skills include eating grass, leaves and other small objects barely visible to the naked eye 🙂
Long Beach Aquarium
We decided the aquarium would be fun with the kids and grandparents. It was fun…though a little crazy with three kids on different schedules 🙂
Family Fun
Ada had a lot of fun playing with her older cousin Holden. She loved to scream at him which was her way of expressing excitement. Holden was not so sure about the high pitched screams, but he did love to give her hugs and kisses.
Ada is also 29 weeks in these photos so I won’t be doing a separate weekly post 🙂
