Rub-a-dub-dub!

She loves to muss in her tubbie! 

She grabs the side if she slips a little, smartie pants...or no pants ;)

Here Kitty Kitty!

An exquisite autumn day

The weather was storybook perfect so we hopped in the car and went to the Gardens, it couldnt have been better! I kept walking and praying that it would be etched in my memory as a point of thankfulness for the days that arent so sunny or warm, and not just the weather.

We walked to DaVinci's Horse and had the place to ourselves, a wonderful, wonderful afternoon.

Pumpkins the size of my head! or so the saying goes...

Ooo flowers, she thought she'd eat those too!

Nobody is funnier than mom! Yesssssss!!!!!

She loves Fall, it even tastes good!

 And one darling photo.

Savoring this day and my baby girl treasure too.

Apples!!!

It's apple season and boy do we have apples this year! 24 quarts of sauce in my basement, rings drying in my oven, and fritter recipes on the docket. YUM!

First we must shop in our kitty hat for produce

Then we must enlist help

Then we must play with our cousin

Oh Fall! How I love thee!

Hi! I'm SEVEN months!

Reached for mom

Stayed in a hotel

Went to the Tigers

Loves paper

Crawling everywhere & into everything

Sitting up all alone

Easily goes from sitting to tummy

Took her first family vacation to Mackinaw Island and The Grand Hotel

Started simple foods

Visited a cider mill

Is starting to sleep more like 9-9
Started to waive a bit
Pulls cords

Does a funny left leg kick

Pulled over the kitty's food

Had a babysitter!

Went to Artprize

OUTTAKES

 Green eye of jealousy...

All in a baby's day

Straight chillin'

A friendly kitty playing and a jealous one hiding in the shadows under the chair...

Enjoying a leaf on the first day of fall

Picking out a hat with Heather

Into ALL the things!

 Just another day in baby girl paradise!

Fooooooood!

Here, at this household, we love food. For us, vacations, are as Jim Gaffigan puts it, just excuses to eat food not at our house. When we are home, I feel like I'm always in search of a recipe, making a grocery list or prepping food. All this to say, we werent at all surprised that Ms. Bebe loved trying some food for the first time. We tried a few weeks ago without much success, but that was just boring rice cereal. On vacation, a time that's always good for trying something new, she was handed a cracker and loved that, had some ice cream tastes that equaled love (duh), and then some grits too! When we got home I broke out the carrots, and yum! yum! yum! :)

She seems to do better with Peter feeding her, which is great!

It's slow going now, one new food at a time; but welcome to livin' bebe! Welcome to food!
