9 Months!

I can't believe Laura has been with us for 9 whole months. She has now been outside just as long as she was inside - and we have loved every minute! Laura is full of beans, getting into everything, and even standing unassisted for a few seconds at a time. She's a better dancer than either her mommy or daddy, which isn't hard! She loves her puppy, Riesling, and couldn't be a happier baby.

Phish

Nate flew up to New England with friends this weekend for a mini Phish tour, seeing shows in Providence, RI and Amherst, MA. I hear the concerts were fantastic, and the misadventures with Koshy, Chris and Brett were as hilarious as ever! Meanwhile, Laura spent the weekend with her grandparents in PA, while I went to a concert of my own Saturday night with some coworker friends. Guster, my favorite, just released a new album and kicked off their new tour in DC!

Family Weekend

Nate, Laura and I drove way up into New York State this weekend to visit Auntie Torie at school. What a gorgeous fall weekend! Laura enjoyed looking at college from Torie's dorm room window. And really, what a view! Torie showed us all around campus, and even gave us a little tour of the art studios she is lucky enough to have classes in. Her school has a special book making studio, with spider presses and everything!

We are so glad we got to see Torie at her new school. Go Thoroughbreds!

Pumpkins!

Hi friends!
This weekend, I got to go to a farm with some of my friends! There were lots of goats for me to feed. They liked me and my parents a lot, since we kept bringing them handfuls of food.This sheep was interested in a snack too.

The farm had lots of pumpkins. We took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch, where we each got to pick our own pumpkin. Jackson, Lucas, Danny and I all had a great time.

Dr. Teeth

Laura is working on her 5th tooth this week! She now has the two center top teeth, and three of her center bottoms. I can't believe how quickly her little mouth is filling up!

8 Months!

Can you believe it? Laura is 8 months old today! EIGHT WHOLE MONTH! I have no idea how much she weighs or anything, except that she's still in size 3 diapers and is rocking her 9 month wardrobe. She has the biggest, most wonderful personality. I just love seeing her face light up at the silliest things!

Laura's Grammy (my mom) came for a visit this weekend. Grammy and Laura hung out Thursday and Friday while Nate and I were at work. Grammy kept us all very well fed! We loved having her around, even though we missed seeing Grampy. We'll see Grammy and Grampy - along with Aunt Torie, Uncle Parke and Aunt Sarah - again very soon! Can't wait!
