Having Fun with Grandma Dottie

Cecilia's Grandma Dottie has been visiting this week from Ohio. They have been spending some quality time together while Chris and I are at school. Here we are saying good-bye on Wednesday morning:
Now she's helping Dad get breakfast on Thursday:


Friday, Chris and I got home early from school, so we headed off to a local farm for pumpkins. Ceci wasn't too sure about sitting on top of one:

They had bins full of dried corn for the kids to play in. She had a good time, although we had to keep her from putting the kernels in her mouth. That night at bedtime, we found a couple of kernels in her clothes!



We picked out a cute little pumpkin for her and a larger one for Chris and me. The next couple of pics are from our car ride home. She was getting silly with her teething ring:

That same afternoon, Cecilia made progress in winning Toby over. He's figuring out that she is a good source of food, both under her high chair and in the living room, as you will see below:

I guess she and Toby were kissing each other today. He was licking her in the face, and she was trying to lick back. Wish I had been awake for that!

She has a pretty logical streak as well. She has figured out that if she hits an obstacle while pushing her lion, she just goes back the other way. However, she will only go around to her right, even if there's a wall in the way. She will not go to the left, even if it's the easier path. We got a little on video as well:

Today we took her for 9-month pictures (even though she'll be 10 months next week). They are Halloween themed and very adorable! Some are in her costume, while others are in a pumpkin shirt. If you're interested in seeing the proofs, let me know and I'll send you the link.

That's enough for now. I'm off to do more reading for classes. Have a great night everyone!

P.S. Go Beavs! They beat No. 2 Cal tonight - woo hoo!!!!
