Teensy Tots

We had our first "Teensy Tots" class at church this morning. It is a parenting class for ages birth to 1 year. The babies attend with their parents. I guess you could say it was Emma Claire's first "Sunday School" experience. We enjoyed it and met a little boy that will be in the same "class" as Emma Claire when she moves to Calvary Daycare in December.

We went to the Farmer's Market Saturday morning, which is our favorite Saturday morning outing. It was a beautiful day. Emma Claire loves to ride in her "pouch" and watch all the people. So many people stop to talk to Emma Claire. She was all smiles. There were beautiful flowers and fall vegetables. I bought a winter squash for Emma Claire to try this week. There were lots of mums and pumpkins everywhere...a sure sign of fall, although the weather seemed more summer-like.

Emma Claire seemed more like a little girl rather than a baby to me today. It is amazing how mobile she is getting. She is really trying to pull herself up, but is not quite there. She is gaining speed with her crawling and is near getting up on all fours. She still has no shortage of smiles and was especially excited about her meals this weekend. She tried avocado (sort of liked it) and loved apples...Honeycrisp apples, to be specific (which, in my opinion, are the best apples around...native to Minnesota). She can now tell when I am getting her food ready and really gets wound up.

The weekends sure do fly by quickly, but we look forward to another busy, fun week ahead!
