October

Fall finally blew in during this month.  Cooler temperatures have been so welcome and we are loving the extra time we are getting to spend outside with the girls.

Fun times at the park with our family.

Cecily got to enjoy her own plate of cookies at a birthday party we went to.

We ran into some friends at the Farmer's Market a few weeks ago and they had brought their VW Van.  The kids loved playing and rolling away in it.

Aunt Bethany came to visit us last weekend.  Halloween pumpkins and cookie fun!

I have been visualizing this framing project since the summer and we just got it finished.  I love it!

Soccer

Geneva played on her first sports team- soccer- in September and October.  Her team was called "Fushion" and they were pretty cute.

Cecily 15 Months

At 15 months, Cecily is walking much better and behaving more and more like a toddler.  She gets into everything, loves making messes, and is constantly on the move.  In fact, getting a good picture of her is really difficult because she is most often either walking away from me or already up in the camera lens before I can capture her in one place.

At her 15 month doctor appointment, she was 20lb and 29inches long.  For both, she was somewhere in the 20th percentiles... She may be tracking a little shorter like her mama.

She still says "mama" "dada" "ball"  The other day, she was holding objects up, saying what sounded like "that" and she also said "block" while giving a block to Greg.  Today, I asked her what a doggie says (while pointing to Stella) and she made her "woof woof" sound.

Cecily 14 Months

During her 14th month, Cecily learned to walk.  She started by taking one or two steps, falling, and then getting back up.  Eventually she got to 3 and then 5 and 7.  She was very diligent about getting back up and continuing to walk.  She did not let falling discourage her.  I am proud of her!  She really had it by 14.5 months.  At 14 months, she could say "mama" "dada" and "ball."  She also started making a sound like "woof woof" when we looked at pictures of puppy dogs.  The more she walks, the busier she gets!
