Happy Halloween

Our little bumble bee

We took her to the library Saturday afternoon so she could fly around a little bit.

When we got home, there was a gift for Amber in the mailbox.

Amber was so excited to get her Halloween card from Grandma and Grandpa

Amber had fun on her first trick-or-treat outing Monday evening. Mommy and Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa took her to 9 homes in our neighborhood that we know. They all loved seeing Amber.

Let's Have a Picnic!

Amber wanted a picnic will her friends. The sheep came running with fork in hand. Dolly snagged an orange slice before they disappeared.

Amber loves her marion berry pie (just like Daddy).

Picnic is over. Bye Bye

Amber loves her books. She often goes to her book corner and pulls out books from her two bins. She'll find one, turn it around and around and then discard it for another one. Sometimes she will hold out a book for us to read (though she often doesn't want you to finish it).

We don't always agree on which ones to read. Here, she is holding my least-favorite book. I give in and read it to her.

Where is that book??!!

Bottle Before Bed

Amber still takes a bottle before bed. Often times she takes sips between laps around the table (she has a walking toy that she loves). This evening, she actually sat down to enjoy it. Good night little Amber.

Amber's Playtime

Amber has a handful of toys in the family room and she plays with all of them throughout any given day. Typically, she unloads her picnic basket and goes straight for the little cookie/biscuit.

Amber loves books. There are two little book baskets on the shelf which always get dumped out on the floor in a pile so she can rifle through them. One of her favorites is 'Noodle Loves the Park.' She turns the book over in her hands and flaps them around. Its pretty cute to watch.

Another toy she likes are the red and green balls Wesley gave her for her birthday. She will toss them under the couch and look to see where they went. I have to go and roll them back to her, so she kind of has me playing fetch.

bye-bye

Squeeky Dog

Squeeky Dog is fast becoming Amber's partner in crime. He's with her where ever she goes.

It's not uncommon to hear slap-squeek slap-squeek slap-squeek and Amber and Squeeky Dog crawl through the family room.

Squeeky Dog used to go on walks with Mommy and Amber but he has a nasty habit of jumping ship half-way through the trip. We can't afford to loose this little guy.

This evening I was watching Amber. Neither of us could find Squeeky Dog. Amber was a little out of sorts. Finally, towards the end of the evening, I found him hanging out in the basket of books. All is well. Slap-squeek, slap-squeek, slap-squeek....
