Hallowe'en

And a Happy Samhain to you!
Here are some pictures from the party we had today. One of the moms was kind enough to let us all descend on her house. There were about 10 babies altogether.
So what does a mom do who just spent all weekend at a wedding in NY and doesn't have a costume and refuses to buy a store-made one? She makes one at the last minute (9pm last night) and makes her daughter a mummy!
It was very cute and everyone liked it, including me.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch. Which was actually a mud patch.
Sadie started cooing and got extremely excited when she saw the pumpkins. Then she yelled & laughed at the tractors and got royally pissed off when she wasn't allowed to "walk" holding one of our hands.
The 3rd picture down is Sadie blowing a raspberry. She loves it and if you get her started and do it back to her she will go for 5 minutes straight. It's pretty funny and well worth the complete spit-drenching that occurs. I don't mind a little baby spit.

We're walking, we're walking...

Yes, she's walking!
From me to daddy and back. She just let go today and took a couple of steps toward me. Then we sat across from each other and she went back and forth. She's getting pretty good at it in one day!
I guess soon she'll be taking off on her own around the house. It's amazing to watch her go. She is just the cat's meow, I tell ya.

Pictures of my girl

So now I shall inundate you with photos.
But first you should know that she is clapping! I will post a video soon. And she said "CAT!" while pointing at Mr. Bird (the cat). Hooray!

Just hanging on the couch. She cracks me up with this pose. She often sleeps like this too:

Hair!

Maybe you've noticed the hair. Maybe you haven't. But she's definitely got some hair now. Enough to do this:

Oh, yes. And here she is in a paper bag. Don't ask, it rains a lot here.
