Me with Ellie, getting ready to take the big kids trick or treating

Ellie has been pulling up & cruising the furniture lately, and she thinks it is great! 

Still no teeth.

This is Ellie's sniffing face.  If you sniff at her, she makes this face & sniffs back.  So funny!

Abby & Ellie, warm & cozy in their pajamas

Ellie is almost 11 months old. Time flies!

Annual pumpkin patch trip

Ellie pulled to standing for the first time today!  In the past week she has also started waving and saying "hi", but only when she chooses to do so.  When I try to get her to say "hi" to someone, she gives me a look like "yeah, whatever!".

Abby playing dress up.

We had a fun trip to Walters' Pumpkin patch again this year.  Above-Cousin Gavin & Abby in front of the scary pumpkin sign.  :)

Happiest babies ever?!

All the kids with Nanny & Papa

Boing!

Train ride!

Abby drew this pumpkin

Abby had her face painted at Towanda's 140th birthday celebration.  She chose a spider to go with her Spidergirl dress up costume.

Ellie is 9 months old!

Ellie had her 9 month check up (stats above)

I forgot to add that Ellie started army crawling yesterday.  She still prefers to roll though!

Saddest baby ever!  I was putting lotion on her head and combing her hair to try to get rid of dry scalp and she was not happy about it.

Baby faux hawk!

Henry says "Hmm..."

Baby comb over!
