These months are just whizzing by! The weekends have been pretty laid back and have been all about getting things done!! Yay for Mom & Dad!
The weekend of October 20 was all about raking leaves. We managed to get quite a bit of it done while you took some extra long naps. Grandma and Grandpa came over to help on Sunday as well. Grandma even helped snap some pictures of you/us!

On November 11, we trekked to some backwoods to surprise your Aunt Angie for her birthday. We met at a restaurant and you did such a great job!
What you've been up to this month:
- exploring more rooms in the house
- clapping (so adorable)
- drinking from a sippy cup
- wanting to go-go-go!
The "how much longer do I have to do this" face
Ready to take off!
Love your smiles!!
