Pumpkin Patch

Cal poly Pomona hosted their annual Pumpkin festival this past weekend. It was a chili day but that didn't stop us from going to get our pumpkin on. The cupcake and I had already gone to the patch that Thursday with her Mommy and me class. We ended up not purchasing any pumpkins because we knew we would be going to the patch again on Saturday. We had a lot of fun watching ms. sassy pants go through the pumpkins and picking her favorites to bring home. We bought 5 because some are going to be for carving and some for me to bake yummy goodies with.

Last year she could barely walk, this year she was carrying her own "Pumnkin" my baby is no  longer a baby.
Quick! Someone hand me a tissue.

2011 Recap

Let's start with this years recap...

January: I was still pregnant and I had a baby shower at my friends house. It was really nice and I had a good time.

February: I became a mommy to the star of this blog. She has really changed my whole life.

March: One month in to mommyhood and it was bittersweet.

April: Started this blog. I went back to work..such a sad day. I loved being at home with the squishy baby. She was still such a sleepy baby, napping all the time.

May: I got Cupcakes ears pierced. I experienced my first mother's day. Finally bought Cupcake a swing.

June: Finally got an A/C in the house. Cut my hair. Started on weight loss (big fail). First time out at a restaurant.

July: Playdates and doctor visits.

August: First solids. Pool parties. Birthday parties. Good times with friends.

September: Got back together with Marc (more towards the end of the month). Visited the fair. More family outings.

October: 1st Halloween. And honestly I can't remember what else.

November: My birthday this month. Black friday crazy shopping. Last dinner for now with an old friend. It's finally cold up in here.

December: 1st Disneyland trip. Christmas card picture shoot. Family time. The stomach flu. Puffy quilts. Gingerbread house fail. Lots-o-presents.

Can't say it enough Happy New Year!

8 months

The cupcake turned 8 months yesterday. We are getting a lot closer to her birthday and its scaring me. We have a lot coming up so I'm not sure if we are going to have a party for her, but we will see. So far she's gotten a lot more needy, there is definitely some parent attachment going on. She still has no teeth, and doubt she will get any soon. She's still not crawling, but does scoot herself or goes around in circles. She loves watermelon, she sucks it dry, its cute. She's gotten a lot bigger. We enjoy playing peek-a-boo it makes her smile every time. Halloween is on Monday and I'm looking forward to dressing her up. Haven't decided whether to take her out trick or treating yet. Tonight I'm hoping to bake cupcakes with her...loving this cold weather hence the Teddy bear getup she has on, it keeps her warm.
