Mommy and Me Class was so much fun!

Ava Kate had a BIG DAY on her playdate with Hayesli Orange (daughter of Brandy & Bryan Orange) at Gymboree's mommy and me class! It was just the funniest thing to see Ava Kate interact. Actually she just wanted to see what everyone else was doing...my little nosey rosey! While everyone else was learning tacticals, Ava Kate was busy studying the others while they gleefully squealed! Seriously, though we had a great time - tummy time with the giant mirror and "the parachute" were HUGE hits for our little Lala!!!! She even showed off her new trick...ROLLING OVER!!!

our little "pumpkin"

So, here is our pumpkin carving pictures. WORD TO THE WISE...Pumpkins DO NOT last all month. They fail to tell you this when you are happily bee bopping around the pumpkin patch (albeit the 90 degree weather should've been a clue it was a tad bit too early to be lugging home a 40 lb pumpkin!). In true Kerri fashion, I was so eager to get the halloween festivities underway that I failed to think about the poor pumpkin's lifespans! Poor things....and the mums....oh, don't even get me started. They are now a natural habitat for all green lizards within a 20 mile radius!

I really love...

I really love............her voice, her "gummy" little smile, the way her eyes swint like her mommy's when she's laughs, her soft belly, her drooly kisses (saved only for her mom), the way she loves that "green frog", how she and I share secrets that no one else can know, to look across the room and realize she is staring back at me, to see a broad grin come across that beautiful little face when she opens her eyes from naptime, the way she examines people, other children, dogs, toys, - she's thinking and I wonder what out little "einstein" is figuring out, when her little cry turns to laughter, the way she smells after bathtime, breathing her in like I may never take another breath, and most of all I just LOVE being her mommy!!!!!!!!!! She is all things precious to me!
