The Last Sunday of the Summer

It was a beautiful Summer day for the last official Sunday of the Summer. Hard to believe we are transitioning into Fall.

We went to church as a family for the last outdoor service of the Summer. We saw a few friends. Emma Claire looked so cute. Mom was able to clip a little bow in her hair for the first time (short lived, but cute!). Emma Claire is going to graduate to the nursery now that the services are moving indoors. We can't sit on the floor on a blanket and play in the sanctuary! She will make lots of new friends there.

We tried bananas again today. Still not a hit, although she sure did have fun at mealtime! She loves to sit in her little chair and look around, grab at anything she can reach (including the spoon). Bananas everywhere. Not sure how much she actually swallowed. We had a good time, though. We have since tried peaches, with success. She was able to "sort of" use the sippy cup today. Still mostly just enjoying playing with it.

Emma Claire is strong and is moving so much more every day. She loves to watch the dogs. She just laughs and laughs at them (especially Rudy...I think he is offended). Sophie lets Emma Claire tug on her ears, paws and fur without blinking an eye. She is a sweet dog. Rudy, on the other hand, keeps his distance, for the most part.

We took the pups on a nice long walk (figured out recently that it works best to tie their leashes to the stroller). We are all getting the hang of it!
