October updates

The months are getting away from me and we are getting closer and closer to having a 2 year old sweet baby girl! Makes me sad and happy at the same time. My baby is no longer doing baby things it seems :( She refuses to eat in a high chair anymore, so we have bought her a little table she can sit at, and if we eat out, she sits in a booster in the seat next to me.
She is such a funny and crazy child, so full of compassion already and love, and fire and spirit!
If you say ow! after stubbing your toe, or bumping into something, or even if you just look sad, she comes over to you and asks, "you kay?" She gives kisses willingly most of the time and when she hugs you, she pats your back. She loves to giggle and wrestle with daddy (daddy is her best friend), and she loves to sing and dance!
Getting her to eat food is still a struggle for us...she is very particular about what she eats, but she is getting better. She's a little more willing to try something new if it's on our plate instead of hers.
 
 
 Sitting at her own table, eating her dinner like such a big girl!
 Giggling in her booster seat at Daddy's birthday Dinner
 I found this awesome little cozy coupe through a mommy swap board for $20 and couldn't pass it up! She LOVES it!
 We do not currently have cable, we just kept our internet when we moved, so we no longer have access to a lot of the Disney shows Sophie was used to watching. However, we do have Netflix, and Netflix has SESAME STREET! Which in my opinion is better than the Disney shows because it's a little bit more educational. Anyways, since we've been letting her watch Sesame Street, she has become obsessed with Elmo and Cookie Monster! So, I asked my mom if she would bring up my old Elmo stuffed animal from their house to see if she would play with him and she was so excited! He is bigger than she is, but she will still drag him places around the living room and try to feed him some of her snacks lol. I'm so glad my mom kept him, even when I told her she could get rid of him!
 We took Sophie to Vala's Pumpkin Patch towards the middle/end of the month. Vala's has always been a tradition for me, and I think there has only been one year that I didn't go, since I've been born. We took her last year, but of course it wasn't as much fun since she couldn't even run around and play. So this year was a blast! We brought Great-Grandma with us b/c "Gramma" loves Halloween and Vala's as much as we do, if not more! Sophie ran all over the place in one of the kids areas, and played in the corn bin. She went through Story Book Town and even through both haunted houses!
 She was a little afraid of Little Bo Peep, which I thought was funny since she had just gone through one of the haunted houses!
 My little princess on her pumpkin coach! Ibou is hiding in there holding her up to the window lol.
 Grandpa told us before we left the house that since he couldn't go with us, someone needed to have a turkey leg. So Ibou and Sophie did that honor for him lol. She thought it was very yummy!
 Playing with Daddy in the corn bin.
 She is 2 1/2 feet tall! Little peanut. Everyone we meet cannot believe that she is almost 2 since she is so tiny! I say she's not tiny, she's fun-sized ;)
 PUMPKINS!!
Showing off her goofy side lol. 
 
Here is part of her costume. Once I finsh getting it all put together, I will post a new picture. She is going to be Bat Girl with daddy as Batman and mommy as Robin. I'm making all of our costumes for the most part. I bought the cape and mask for her at party city, found the tutu through a friend, and then she has sparkly tights to go with it and I am on the hunt for a purple long sleeved onesie that I can attach a logo to. For Ibou, he's going to wear all black and I'm going to put a logo on his shirt and make him a cape out of a sheet, dyed black. He has his mask from Party City also. For me, I'm on the hunt for green tights, and a red shirt and yellow material for cape. I already have black shorts and a green shirt to wear under the red one, and then I'll get a plain black mask from Party City as well.

We're only going to trick or treat for about a 1/2 hour around our neighborhood with our neighbors that have a little girl the same age as Sophie, and then we'll go back home where she can help me hand out candy to the other kids.
Stay tuned for more pictures!!
