Labor Day weekend

Over Labor Day weekend, Sarah and Isaac invited us down to see their new house, so my parents and the three of us headed to Las Cruces for the weekend to hang out with the whole family. On the way there, we stopped and spent the night with Eric's parents and got to check out their beautiful new house in El Paso. We had a great time and are really loving that we can see both families in one weekend! Below is a sweet picture of Autumn and Grandma Miller.


Autumn had a ball at Aunt Sarah & Uncle Isaac's new home with all their animals - Rigley the puppy and Morgan the horse. For two horse-loving sisters, Autumn's love of horses was a dream come true! We had such a great time with the family and below are some of my favorite pictures from the weekend


These two could not stay away from each other. Rigley was so good with her!

Autumn feeding Morgan a treat. At the bottom of the page is a video of it.

Autumn was not afraid of Morgan in the slightest. She kept reaching out to him and he was so good at being gentle with her.



I LOVE this picture! The joy in Aunt Sarah and Autumn's face is priceless!

While we were in Cruces, we got to meet up with some very special friends - James & Marilyn Large - who were like 2nd parents to me growing up. It was so great to get to see them!!


This might be the best smiling picture of her we have yet! And for those of you who know my dad - eventhough he is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet, he never smiles in pictures, so this picture is really special!











A couple other significant events happened this month:

1) We have some teeth - 4 to be exact and 2 more on their way! 6 teeth in 4 weeks has to be a record, right?? In the picture below, you can see her two bottom teeth and she has 4 on the top that she is cutting right now! Besides being a little cranky, Autumn has been so great with teething. In fact, we didn't realize she was teething again until one of the top ones was already in!



2) We started eating veggies last week! This is the face we made the first time we tried peas - not a big fan; however, green beans and squash are a huge hit.




Below is the video of Aunt Sarah helping Autumn feeding Connor a treat. Love it!

Fun Videos

This just might be my favorite video of Autumn to date. She has just started really belly laughing and it's one of the best sounds in the world! All I'm doing to make her laugh so hard in this video is touching her stomach - she is a goofball!

Autumn REALLY missed her jumper while we were away over Labor Day weekend!

One of the new things that Eric & Autumn's two uncles tried to teach Autumn over Labor Day was to spit, so now she does it everywhere and is so proud of herself. It's really funny at this point in time, but I'm thinking her "Parents Day Out" teachers are NOT going to be loving this.
