Lulu's Birthday and Pumpkin Picking

It was a very busy September. Claire's cousin Lulu turned one in late August and we celebrated her birthday in September. Also, Sara and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary.

Claire has been doing very well. Her 9 month appointment was in early September. She weighed 19lbs. 6 ozs. and was 27 inches long. She is crawling around everywhere and is pulling herself up to stand on everything. She shimmies sideways along the furniture very well. Sara has been working with her to get her to stand. She will stand on her own for about 30 seconds and then fall on her butt. You can see when she is standing she has a ton of determination to take a step on her own. She has not yet but we both think that she will soon. This past week she also started to put food in her mouth. We got her some baby biscuits and she loves them. Tuesday night she just picked it up and put it in her mouth.

Today we took a trip up to Bert's Pumpkin Farm to get a pumpkin. We had a lot of fun picking out our pumpkin for Halloween. Claire LOVED being around all those big pumpkins. She really did have a good time.

Here are pics from Lulu's birthday and the pumpkin farm:
