Sibling Bonding

As Autumn has started to get more interactive, and show more of her personality, it has resulted in some pretty adorable interactions between her and big brother Ember! She loves watching him, reaches and grabs for him when he's close enough, and cracks up when he's being silly.  Ember has continued to be an awesome big brother, giving her hugs and kisses and trying his best to make her laugh.  It's truly heartwarming to watch! I hope they continue to like each other as they get older... 

Sittin' Up Girl

This lady is well on her way to being able to sit up on her own! She can hold herself mostly upright for a little while, but still has quite a forward lean, and will topple over after a few seconds. But she's been enjoying getting lots of practice, and using the bumbo to help her sit up and watch the world in the meantime! 

Toes

Lil' Miss Autumn has officially discovered her toes! Only a matter of time before she figures out she can get them into her mouth...

First Camping Trip

Well, we did it, we finally braved our first family camping trip! We were quite nervous going into it, not sure how it would go... would anyone sleep? Would the babies be happy being outside all day? Well, our anxieties were unfounded because the weekend went great! Autumn was an absolute champ, and was her usual happy, laid-back self.  She napped great both in the tent, and outside in the fresh mountain air.  She slept through the night both nights, and during the day was happy as could be to hang out with everybody.  She was a trooper on the short hike we went on, sleeping through part of it, and being content to watch the views the rest of the time.  Now that we have successfully conquered camping, we hope to do it again soon!

Tent Napping

Sleepy Coos

Autumn does the sweetest thing sometimes when she’s falling asleep. She’ll usually start out fussy and crying, then settle in and start to fall asleep... but before she falls completely asleep, she’ll look at me through half-open eyes, give me a crooked half-smile and start cooing.  They are the sweetest little coos, that seem to say “I’m so content ahead relaxed and I can’t help but express it,” and I love it! She also sometimes blows raspberries in her sleep when she’s just dozing off, and that’s hilarious and adorable as well.
