Pumpkin Carving

Today was a beautiful day here! Jason decided to carve Anna's pumpkins today and they turned out incredible- so I have to brag on my artist husband! He surprised even himself by the way.

And of course Anna had to have an owl pumpkin! :)

I think next year will be a little more fun since Anna will actually understand, but Jason and I had fun this year anyway!

Fall Fun

Weather has finally turned a little colder here in the past couple of days! I am so happy! Anna's hands have been getting cold on our walks and blankets have done no good because she has to have her hands out- so today I went for the hat and gloves! (I know you Arkansans might think this a little overboard, but our walk is mostly under tree cover so it gets pretty nippy.) This was a first so I wasn't sure it was going to fly, but she did great! I think she just didn't know what to do with the hands that were much harder to coordinate. Here are some pics of our almost 7 month old today after her walk... Anna with her funny new hands
That still crazy smile

Pumpkin Patch

We got to go to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend and we all had a ton of fun! Here are some pictures of some of the things we got to do while we were there. I won't bore you with all of the pictures! Anna and Daddy sitting on a HUGE pumpkin!

Everyone in the old Model T that still runs!

Jason was totally amazed by it.

Anna Kate's new favorite face for the camera-we have no idea where she came up with it!

My house now has fall decorations inside and out- thanks to my wonderful husband who humors me and my obsession with fall!

HAPPY FALL!!!

6 month checkup

We went to the Dr. this week for Anna Kate's 6 month checkup. Thankfully she told us what we already knew- Anna is healthy, happy, and smart. She weighs 16 lbs .4 oz is 27 3/4 inches long and her head circumference is 17 inches. Her head and weight are right around the 50th percentile, but she is obviously taking after her Daddy and her length is in the 96th percentile!! I am so glad that she is going to be tall! Although it already proves interesting in finding clothes- she needs 12 month length and her little waist is not big enough to hold any pants up! :)
