Thanksgiving is a few days away! It is so hard to believe that 2 years ago we were just telling our families that I was pregnant. I am so thankful for our little 17 month old mess! She is still into everything and starting to say more words. She absolutely melted our hearts last week when she laid down on a pillow in the living room and said, "Night Night". She now says it in her sweet little voice every night before going to sleep. She is also saying please and making the sign at the same time...equally adorable! Her main vocabulary consists of mama, dada, milk, bye bye, night night, please, and baby. Surprisingly, "No" isn't in her vocabulary yet. I'm sure it is coming soon! Right now, she just shakes her head when she doesn't want or like something. Her latest trick is to get into somersault position and wait for someone to flip her over. We aren't sure where she learned this one, but it is pretty cute! I've posted some recent fall pictures below.
We bought Emmy a ladybug costume for Halloween, and she absolutely HATED the headpiece. She doesn't like hats or headbands, so this was not a huge surprise. She screamed every time we tried putting it on her, but we had to snap a picture anyway!
Emmy and R.L. at the Reston Zoo. We thought she would love all of the animals, but she was a little scared. She did love the ducks, and she kept "talking" to them.
Saturday night out for dinner.
We had so much fun seeing Angie, Sid, and Elizabeth when they came in town. We went to the pumpkin patch, and Elizabeth was so cute taking Emmy by the hand!
Emmy and her friend Ben going for a ride!
One of my fall favorites!
