Last Weekend before E-day!

This is it...the last weekend before election day! Needless to say, Brad was hard at work on the campaign trail both days. He really lucked out with the weather. Two lovely days to be out knocking on doors. It has been a busy Fall. We look forward to returning to some sense on "normalcy" this week.

Emma Claire is becoming more active and inquisitive by the day. She went from just pulling up here and there to now pulling up on everything...the bathtub, the dishwasher, Sophie. Now I have both she and Sophie to deal with when I am putting dishes in the dishwasher. Can't help but laugh. Rowie said she just hopes Emma Claire doesn't start licking the dishes like Sophie does. She has also been crawling up on the shelf under the end table in the den, where she gets stuck most of the time. She can sometimes navigate her way out, but usually needs a little help.

Saturday we took the dogs for a nice long walk, played outside, went to swing at the park.

Sunday, we went to Yoga for Crawlers at Blooma. We have not done Yoga in quite some time, since Emma Claire graduated from the BYOB class (to crawlers). It was fun. The twins (Jasper and Charlie) from BYOB were there. They share a birthday with Emma Claire. All of the babies played with the toys. We sang some fun songs and moms did a little (very little) yoga. Emma Claire enjoyed it. She was the only girl in class and had a great time interacting with the other babies.

We went over to Adrian and Elissa's for pizza tonight. It was lively as usual over there. Quinn and Emma Claire had a good time together. They played and after dinner had a bath together, which was one of the cutest things I have ever seen! Emma Claire climbed up their stairs! She demonstrated for Brad when he got there. She is really on a roll. She even had her first taste of Dairy Queen (her dad gave it to her, of course). An Oreo blizzard...that would make anyone happy!

She jabbered and squealed the whole way home. I think she picked up some verbal skills from her cousins. She was pretty wound up and then just crashed when it was time for bed. Reached for her crib, rolled over and realized she did not have her pacifier, rolled over again, stuck it in her mouth and fell sound asleep. Amazing!
