7 months & 1st Rangers Game

Autumn turned 7 months last weekend and I can hardly believe it! Everyone tells you they grow up so fast but you just don't understand until it starts happening. Autumn went in for her 6-month wellness check in mid-September and she is still pretty little - 13 lbs, 6 ounces (6th percentile) and 24 inches (33rd percentile). The doctor didn't seem too worried, just told us to have her eat more calories which is kinda funny because this little girl can eat! I have no idea where it all goes - I think she just burns it all off because she is constantly moving. She is going to be crawling any day now and she officially has all 6 teeth in! Hopefully, we are done teething for at least a little bit!

Autumn's 7-month birthday weekend ended up being a pretty big celebration. We drove into Dallas for the Rangers playoff game and got to see Eric's sisters and his uncle for dinner on Saturday night. We had such a great time catching up with all of them!! Sure wish we lived closer so we could have family dinners more frequently!

Below is a picture of the whole crew at dinner: Eric & Autumn, Andy & Stephanie, and Uncle Joey & his wife Michelle, who is holding Andi's baby, Bella. Bella burst into tears right as I took this picture and I love the look on Michelle's face!


Eric, his sisters, and Uncle Joey - it had been a long time since they were all together so we definitely had to capture the moment!


Andy and her precious little Bella - I'm definitely a proud aunt!

On Sunday, we got up and got ready to take Autumn to her First Rangers Game, which was a playoff game! She was quite the trooper! It was pretty hot outside and the game was over her naptime but she made friends with everyone around us and then proceeded to fall asleep on me for a few innings. We had a great time, eventhough the Rangers couldn't pull off the win :(


Look how cute this hat is!

Pennsylvania

Many of you don't know, but we decided to make a last minute, surprise trip up to Pennsylvania to see Eric's family up there. We hadn't seen some of them in 2 years and we were wanting to introduce Autumn to all of them, so we went up there for the week. It was Autumn's first plane ride and as you can see in the picture, she really liked it. She did so well - we could not have asked for more!

Autumn sleeping on her pappy - so sweet!


This is the bear that Autumn's Gran-Pappy Dupler got her. She loved it and kept falling sleeping cuddled up with it!


Eric with his Pappy Dupler. This is the relative he got his love and knowledge of cars from.


Eric's Aunt Brenda - we got to spend time with her and her family on Sunday evening. She made us a delicious dinner and it was great to catch up with everyone.


We also got to see Eric's dad's parents - Pap & Gram Miller. Gram cooked a yummy dinner for us and Autumn had a great time playing with them. I love this picture!
Overall, it was a great trip! We loved getting to see everyone and can't wait til the next time we get back up there!
