Savannah is now 9 months. She is trying sooooooo hard to crawl, but just won’t do it. She gets into position and it looks like she is going to get up and go, but then changes her mind. She still gets around a little by scooting around on her bottom and wiggling backwards while on her tummy. She got so fed up with trying to crawl this month that she slammed her face down in frustration and bummed her nose so hard it gave her a bloody nose. Poor baby! Maybe she will be one of those babies that skips crawling all together and just gets up and walk.
Abby also had her very first sleep over with one of her friends. She spent the night at her friend Keira’s house. Their friend Gabby also joined the sleep over. Abby did great being away from us, but unfortunately there was a lot of tears between the girls just from not getting along. Girls in groups of 3’s are not really the best thing. I think the next sleep over may need to be with just one friend! But it was still exciting for the girls to have a sleep over with each other!
Abby ready for her 1st sleepover!
On October 15th we drove up to Chino Valley (near Prescott, AZ) to go to the Freeman Farms Pumpkin Festival. Grandma Bev and Grandpa Wayne came with us! Even up in Northern Arizona it was a warm day. The farm had been hit by a freeze that came through the week before so the sunflowers, corn field and pumpkin patch were a little wilted. It was still beautiful on the farm though. Abby found her way through the corn field maze, got her face painted, rode on the merry-go-round, hay ride and the children’s train, went to the petting zoo and of course….picked out a pumpkin! Savannah came along for the fun too, but mostly just chilled out in her stroller. She too helped pick out this year’s pumpkin. We are looking forward to Halloween!
