Pumpkin patch bloopers

Yesterday's post contained lots of great pictures from our trip to the pumpkin patch.  There were also several bloopers, mainly from Hannah trying to eat...everything.  She's at the stage where she wants to put everything in her mouth, and as you'll see, Mom and Dad weren't 100% successful at keeping the yucky stuff out...

Grass...

Gourds...

More gourds...

And of course, a pumpkin

Pumpkins for the punkin

I love the fall and all of the activities that go along with it - watching the leaves change, breaking out the hoodies, drinking apple cider, and of course, picking pumpkins!  So naturally, I was super excited to take Hannah to pick out our pumpkins and the experience did not disappoint.

Mom wasn't the only one who was excited for the pumpkins!

Her little smirk cracks me up.

Mom and daughter smiles :)

Looking so big with those shoes!

"Uh, I'm not quite sure what to do with my hands..."

On our way to grab some pumpkins

It was a successful haul!

Even though her eyes are closed, we still managed to get a family shot :)

Wedding season!

Last weekend we had the wonderful privilege of celebrating the marriage of Alex's brother Austin and his sweet bride Kaitlyn.  They are a great couple and we are so excited that they found each other!

We had such a good time hanging out with family and friends that we were terrible photographers and barely took any pictures!  I did manage to snap a couple though of Hannah though (who was just amazing all weekend!), and I'm hoping Kait's actual photographer caught some more :)

All dressed up for the rehearsal dinner!

She couldn't wait for dinner - had to munch on her snack finger

Looking extra blond these days

She was exhausted but Mom enjoyed the snuggles :)

She had all of her spark back after some beauty sleep!

Looking so big and pretty in the lovely dress Grandma made for the wedding!

The Mr. and Mrs.  :)

Four generations, including Hannah Laverne's namesake!

Clap clap!

Hannah has a new trick - she can clap!  It's pretty amazing to me that she hears us say a word, and she responds with the right action.  She also turns when she hears her name and tries to imitate different sounds we make.  It's hard to believe someday she'll be saying words right back to us!

Cute

October is a busy month for us - between out of town visitors, two weddings, and events around town, I haven't had much time to blog!  But that's not for lack of blog-worthy material - there has been lots of cuteness going on around here recently that needs to be shared.  So without further ado, several photos of our super cute kiddo :)

Sitting up so big in her stroller - someone has to keep that fluffy pup in line!

Rocking some awesome leggings

She surprised us both when she discovered she could pull up on the couch!

Practice makes perfect

I still feed Hannah all of her baby food with a spoon - although she loves to hold the spoon, she also loves to fling it around, throw it on the floor, and bang it on her tray.  I have my doubts that she would actually get any real food in her mouth, except by chance as she laughed at the mess she was making.  Leonidas would get more food off the floor than she would in her mouth.

However, feeding oneself and chewing one's food are important life skills.  So, we have started giving Hannah a few "puffs" to practice with.  They are basically less dense, star-shaped, flavored Cheerios.  She's really getting the hang of it!

Hannah says no

So many good videos from her high chair lately!  Although as a parent, this one is a little scary for me...

Given the fact that she actually does eat her carrots at the end (spoiler alert), I have to believe she does want them and hasn't actually learned this already........right?????
