Flying Leaves







Alaina had some foun today with the leaves. The wind was blowing 30-60mph all day long. In these pictures Alaina would pick up the leaves and let them fly out of her hands. The leaves ended up swirling above her head. She had fun.






Alaina and Her Dora Hat







Alaina has learned to put on her Dora hat. She is just too cute for her own good sometimes.

Fun Things about Alaina

Some Random things that will make you smile:

Still Loves to do "Wheels on the Bus"

Scared of Bugs (Fuzzy Catepillars to be exact) - There was an incident with a monarch catepillar that Mark and Alaina found on a walk. Mark let her pet it. Mark put it in the tray on her stroller so Alaina could continue to play with it. The Catepillar started moving again and Alaina flipped out. Alaina almost jumped out of the stroller screaming because the catepillar fell into the stroller. The catepllar probably scared her for life just like the ladybug did to me. We will have to work on that :)

Afraid of Seed Pods (The long Brown banana things hanging from trees in the fall) - they resemble snakes apparently. Weston Irish Fest deal . . . she got stranded on an island of the things. Everywhere she stepped she happened to step on the seed pod and it "jumped" out of the grass like a cobra.

She associates the downstairs kitchen tv with Dora and Elmo. She refers to them as Doh-a and Melmo. If you don't acknowledge her asking to watch them, she turns to look at you straight in the eye and emphasizes in an exaggerated voice "DOOOOHHHH-AAAAA"

She likes to check everyone pants to see if they have pooped. Her favorite time to do this is when she has just pooped.

And finally, she likes to tell Mark and I to go night night. When we are sitting on the floor playing she comes up to us and takes our head and shoves it to the ground (she doesn't know her own strength right now) and makes us go night night by patting our back.

Best of all, we are officially done with the pacifier. YAY! Her cross bite will now be fixed! PHEW!

Night all!

KC Pumpkin Patch





A couple of weekends ago the Watson Family took a trip to the KC Pumpkin Patch. Alaina had a really good time, though she was REALLY tired. We thought she would take a snooze in the car, but she was too excited in the car (as you can tell from the picture on the car seat). Mark and I selected our pumpkins and Alaina picked out a gourd. It is a really pretty gord. Green black aand Yellow. It is a strange one. I will have to take a picture of it and post it another day.

Love to all!
