15 months

Aaliyah is 15 months old today. ( :  It's been so fun watching her learn to walk and just explore.  She knows when I tell her no and will hand things to me when she knows she's not supposed to have it.  Somedays I feel she is always hungry....ha!  We never have to worry she's not getting enough to eat.  But drinking her milk is a little harder.  I love how easy it is to put her to bed now; I still rock her because it's the best.  She loves her babies; will bring them to you, hug them and feed them.   She gives open mouth kisses and waves bye-bye backwards.

Trick or Treating

Yesterday, we went trick or treating at Grandma and Grandpas house.  Their neighbor Jane had a treat for Aaliyah too. Then we went home and handed out candy.  We missed trick or treating last year, so wasn't sure how many kids we were gonna get and it wasn't too many at all.  We have quite a bit of candy leftover, but I don't think Greg minds.

Couldn't let go of those teddy grahams

Halloween Fun

Last Sunday, family came over and we all carved pumpkins and watched the Packer game.  It was fun, it was nice enough we could carve pumpkins on the deck.  We started out with 3 carving knives and ended up with one....carving pumpkins can be challenging.  I cheated and used a stencil.  The Packers won; we're finally on a winning streak!

Opening her Halloween present from Aunt  Julie and Uncle Ben

She got a pumpkin beanie, frankenstein bib and some raisins.

Later on, we put Aaliyah and Lydia in their costumes.

And then we got to play in the leaves....it was a fun-filled day!!

Wedding

Last weekend, I stood up in my friend Joellyn's wedding.  The weather was beautiful for an outdoor ceremony.  The hall was decorated beautiful with tons of pumpkins, fall flowers and candy.  I just love dressing Aaliyah up and making her all pretty!

Just chillin playing with mommys flowers.

Mommy's Graduation

I am officially done with school!!  I can't thank Judy & Pete enough for watching Aaliyah while I was in school full-time.  My last day was today.  Here are some pics from graduation a couple weeks ago.  Looking forward to spending more time with Aaliyah before I start work again.

October

So, it's been too long since my last post.....not sure what's going on.  Guess I've been busy with graduation; I had my ceremony yesterday(pictures to come).  Only have 2 weeks left of school!!  Aaliyah is walking; Grandma Judy calls her the statue of liberty cuz she walks holding her right hand in the air...it's too cute.  I don't know when she actually "walked"....I mean she still crawls a lot, but it was probably the end of Sept.  Here are some pics of her giggling
