October Color

These were taken about two weeks ago when we still had some summer color. I was surprised that the roses were still going strong up until a few days ago. I will miss them, until next year :)

9 Months

Ada is cruising all around the house these days, she can even climb our full flight of stairs (with us right behind her of course). She has six teeth and loves to gnaw on everything. Ada also loves peek-a-boo, babbling, bath time, and screaming :)

Apple Picking

After we visited the pumpkin patch we spent the early evening picking apples with our good friends, the Rusts, at Sm’Apples in Ferndale.

Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday was a beautiful day to go to a pumpkin patch so we found a cute little place less than five miles from our house called Cloud Mountain Farm. Ada enjoyed playing with the pumpkins and eating the grass in the field.

On a Roll

This is what I found the little monkey doing when I turned my back (and left the bathroom door open) for a minute. Of course I let her continue for a little bit longer while I grabbed the camera.

35, 36, 37 & 38 Weeks

Just a wee bit behind on posts, whoops. Ada is keeping us on our toes these days. She is walking along furniture now that she can pull herself to stand. She also can balance on two legs for a couple seconds, but only when distracted by a toy.

With all this new found freedom Ada is getting more curious about things that are definite “no-no's”, like our wood stove, potted plants, cords, etc. It’s exciting to see her morph into an intelligent little person, but challenging all at the same time :)

Pictured above: Ada loves her “touch & feel” books, or as I like to call them, “taste, touch & feel” books. She enjoys licking the fur on some of the animals :)
