Pumpkin patch

So much has changed between now and last October. This time last year Abigail was just a tiny little thing who slept through our trip to the pumpkin patch, but this year she was wide awake, stomping around, and pushing the wagon.

she was pretty interested in the pumpkin carving

done!

For the last couple months Abigail has been mimicking different little things. For example, whenever she finds a purse, she puts it on and wears it around.

She also tries to wear my mom's reading glasses when shes plays with my mom's phone because that how she sees her me-ma do it. She puts the glasses on her neck and holds them with her chin while playing with the phone. Last week Abigail started helping me do the laundry. She stands on her tippy toes to get the clothes out of the washing machine and then carries them to to dryer. I never thought doing the laundry could be fun, but it is when you have a little helper :) But the cutest thing Abigail has stared to mimic is praying. When we all sit down for dinner and pray, she puts her little hands together by her face, and it is the sweetest thing :)

VENTURA

This weekend we went for a little trip down to the beach with Tim and his family. We left during her nap time so she would sleep on the way down there. She only slept for a hour, but we arrived at the Camarillo outlets before she got too cranky. We did a little shopping at Fossil, had lunch, then went to the hotel.

what's more fun than me-ma's phone? old hotel phones because they have buttons and cords.

Each time we go to the beach Abigail enjoys it more than she did the last time. This time I pointed out the seagulls to her and she would put her little hand out towards them and try to call them over to us. Tim made her sand castles and she loved destroying them. She also learned to say papa :)

i can't get enough of that curly little head!
