The pumpkin patch


We went to the pumpkin patch this weekend. Emma really enjoyed going out to the pumpkin patch and being able to pick out her very own pumpkin. She picked one that was just her size. It was a little heavy for her to lift, but she managed it. They had wiener dogs there that Emma loved petting. She especially enjoyed helping push the wagon with the pumpkins in it.






Emma is really starting to communicate very well with sentences. She cracks us up sometimes with things that she says. She's getting to be such a big girl. We went to Petco yesterday, they have small carts for kids to push around. She pushed the cart around the store with my purse in it very well. She went around all of the obstacles and did a great job steering it. So, yesterday was an aha moment for me. My baby girl is growing up! Today she got her hair cut and sat in the salon chair all by herself for the first time. She did a great job being still and loved looking at herself in the mirror while the lady cut her hair. She can do several things by herself and insists on doing it herself. We hear often, "No, myself!" She's also getting very tall. She can now reach her light switch in her rooom. So every morning when she wakes up she turns her light switch on right away so she can see to play. Thank goodness she doesn't wake up in the middle of the night and think it is morning! Her favorite things to play with right now are her babies, her stroller, her bears, her cars, playdough, and she loves to sing songs and dance. She knows the words pretty well and will sing along with any familiar song. It is so cute!
