Counting down the days


Mommy and I have been counting down the wake ups until Fall Break and we can hardly wait! One of the reasons we are so excited about the break is that we will get to spend over a week together. We are going up to north Georgia during the break and Mommy says that we are going to pick fresh apples so that I can have fresh apple sauce! Yummy!! I love apples almost as much as I love sweet potatoes! Of course, Mommy's milk is still my favorite thing in the world, but apples, green beans, and sweet potatoes are also favorites of mine.
Mommy has been working on a yummy menu for me for the month of October, so if any of you have good baby food ideas or combinations that Mommy could make for me, I would really appreciate it. I like to try new big girl foods. And since Mommy makes all of my baby food, the sky is the limit on new food combination ideas.



Speaking of ideas, Mommy just told me that I am gonna get to go to the pumpkin patch with my big cousin Danny on a field trip. I love pumpkins! Maybe they will let me eat some of them. :) I can hardly wait! Mommy has a special dress for me to wear for this trip. She says we will take lots of pictures! I'll share them when she does.

Don't all of these fall break plans sound like fun. I am so looking forward to spending more time with Mommy. We are going to play with my new "Pal Violet" who even knows my name! Violet is teaching me many things. She counts, knows my name and how to spell it and even that my favorite animals are cats. Mommy teaches me many new things too. So far she has been working on teaching me the baby signs for milk, more, all done, hungry, eat, and kitty kat. and up. I recognize almost all of these signs and can sign milk, more, all done and up. Even though my versions of these signs aren't exactly the same as Mommy's she knows what I'm saying and it's nice to be able to talk to Mommy before my mouth will let me. Okay...gotta roll (I'm not crawling yet).
