October 1
Grandma and Grandpa's House
N. Little Rock
Leena's first trip to Little Rock continues (from last month). She got to meet her Frost great grandparents and most of her other great aunts, uncles, and cousin-cousins! This is Aunt Terri trying to show her kids how fun it is to have kids.
October 2
The Root Cafe, Little Rock Zoo, Ariana's
Birthday breakfast with the fam, birthday zoo with my birthday twin and his fam, and birthday cake at my cousin's rehearsal dinner. Overall a pretty fantastic birthday!
October 3
Wildwood
Mom and daughters seizing the moment of being dressed up.
October 4
Hidden Valley Park
Mini Roller reunion! All these Rollie Pollies are so cute together!
October 5
Leyla's
Farewell lunch with Dad and Mom before heading to the airport.
October 6
Holiday Inn, Baltimore
Sky gazing.
October 7
Living Room
This might have been my dinner when Andy was working... (Those are peanut butter M&Ms for the record. Thanks, Uncle John.)
October 8
Bedroom
Have I mentioned I'm pregnant? (Sixteen weeks here!) Which explains that dinner (^) and that bump.
October 9
Jimmy's
Andy took Leena to the river for the day so I could have some me time. I don't think Leena minded one bit because she got to eat one of Jimmy's cookies and show her belly.
October 10
Front Yard
We are embracing becoming a family of four. Mini van - check! And it's awesome.
October 11
Richmond Folk Festival
Leena dancing and clapping to Native American music and dancers. She was quite the little fan.
October 12
Sunroom
Eleven months, which means we almost have a one year old on our hands!
October 13
Sunroom
I have decided that quinoa is the messiest food for babies. It sticks to every exposed piece of skin and bounces like crazy. It's like pine needles after taking your Christmas tree down. I'll be finding it for years.
October 14
Terrace
Making way for a dishwasher across the street!
October 15
Living Room
Night bottle and stories about Ireland.
October 16
Terrace
Leena keeping the plumber in check.
October 17
National Harbor, MD
Visiting Grandpa Bud for the day on his annual trip to DC. That's my little pumpkin head sitting in a giant hand.
October 18
Living Room
More couch bottle time with Pops. I like it when Andy is off so I can witness these kinds of moments.
October 19
Living Room
That's my babysitter Zissou. If Leena steps out of line, she will swat her because she's a mean cat.
October 20
Front Yard
I knew Leena would enjoy fall because of all the leaves she can put in her mouth. There's evidence on her chin.
October 21
Golf Course
Leena is already refusing to be a part of anything to do with her younger sibling. Our attempt to take an announcement photo was a lame one. I blame Leena. Everything is harder with a baby (on the outside). You get the idea though. (Trust me, the vision in my head was way better.)
October 22
Front Yard
Our best garden harvest was the sweet potatoes! And some of them were crazy shapes!
October 23
Attic
Halloween prep. Eight is a lot of legs, David.
October 24
Bedroom
Getting ready for a party and Leena wanted to stop at socks and shoes. Fine by me, but it is a little chilly outside.
October 25
Station 7
We went to the fire station to hang out with Andy and carve our pumpkin. They got a call so we carried on and turned the tv to cartoons.
October 26
Bedroom
Watching a movie and satisfying a cereal craving at 9 pm. In bed. Which makes cereal eating way more fun! I also enjoy that Andy had a bowl too.
October 27
Kitchen
She knows exactly what she's not supposed to be doing.
October 28
Living Room
Two things: Leena finds socks and holds them up for me to put them on her. And, her belly is making more and more appearances when she's not wearing a onesie. Little chunker.
October 29
ARC Park
Playing at the peek-a-boo wall.
October 30
Bathroom
Andy's been working nonstop the past several days on our second bathroom. It's like major renovations and being pregnant have to happen simultaneously at our house.
October 31
Sunroom
Baby's first Halloween! Miniature scuba diver and giant octopus! We went to Chipotle for cheap boo-ritoes because we are that cool and that hungry all the time.
