Fall is in the Air

The end of summer flew by along with September.  There's nothing like a seasonal change than coming home from a shorts and flip flops filled vacation to jackets and Uggs.  And I could not be more excited.  I'm ready for fall leaves, pumpkins, hot chocolate, and bundling under a blanket.  Hannah tested out her new rain boots and jacket outside this afternoon, while I raked and swept pine needles.  And did she ever have fun.

The rain boots did not stay on for very long...

 Running and playing as fast as she can...

Exploring...

Hannah is in a new phase with her foot wear.  She loves socks, likes her animal friends to wear her slippers, and dislikes shoes.  She even took a bath with her socks on tonight!  

Other new things she enjoyed over the last month are singing and dancing while playing the guitar.  She even gets low and dips.  Coloring, stickers, and writing.  She loves to read to Hubert her duck.  And falls asleep with a book at night.  She's also very nurturing of her babies and animals.  She rocks, kisses, hugs, feeds, and pats them over the shoulder.  And she loves to talk, talk, talk and carry on a conversation with us.  She points at objects around that she wants to know what they are, and tries to repeat the word.  She wants to know the names of our eyes, noses, mouth, eye brows and even eye lashes.  A game we play repeatedly, daily.  And her favorite game is ET.  She sticks her index finger out for you to touch it with yours.  Then laughs and laughs after each time.  She even tried to do it to the gorilla at the zoo.  Which amazed me that she knew he was different in his hands, than other animals paws.
