What an exciting month!

Yet again, I'm sorry I took so long to write more on here, but I'm awfully busy for a little girl and it's hard to find time to tell you all what's going on. I have already done so much stuff in October so far, and it's not even over. Just a few weeks ago my Mama and Daddy took me up to the Pumpkin Patch to pick my very first Halloween pumpkin. It was dirty, chaotic, and fantastic. I had a great time looking at all of the pumpkins and even sitting on one of them. When we had all chosen our pumpkins I got to ride in wheelbarrow with all of them....OK, so I didn't ride in there, but I got to sit in there. It was weird, and I couldn't figure out why the stems were all prickly. The next week we all went over to my Mimi's house (that's grandma Michelle, for those of you who aren't paying attention) to carve them. Mama and Daddy carved theirs out, but they decided that it wouldn't be safe for me to use a knife, so I got to paint mine. I hated it. I really wanted to carve it out to look like a ghost, but they wouldn't let me. To make matters worse they stripped me down to my diaper in front of my uncle Jared and made me sit on the table to paint it. Then they gave me a bath and I cried during that too. It was very traumatic. I'm going to call my therapist tomorrow. A few days after that my Grandma came to visit Mama and me, and we got to go to storytime at the library for the very first time. It was amazing. There were all these other babies there who looked a lot like me, but most of them were more mobile and talkative. We got to sing a lot of fun songs and dance around in the library, so I loved it. Mama said that she'd take me twice each week to do storytime at two libraries close to my house. I'm super excited. We also went to see the YMCA to see where Mama and I are going to do our swimming lessons in a few weeks. It sound like Mama's also going to let me go play with some other babies in a big play room while she works out or sits in a sauna. I'm kinda glad she's doing it. I need some time away from my Mama to play with other kids. It's pretty darn exciting.

The most exciting thing so far this month just happened yesterday though. I was over at my Mimi's house for dinner (after a disasterous lunch at my Aunt Emily and Uncle Chad's house) and I was playing on the floor with the doggies and Uncle Jared. Now I should tell you that at home we have nice cushy carpet on our floors, but Mimi has pretty wood on her floors. I got a little bit too excited and tried to reach forward for something and fell on my face. I hurt my lip and started bleeding everywhere. Daddy freaked out, and Mama tried really hard to stay calm but I wouldn't let them see in my mouth because it hurt and I was scared so they were really worried about me. My mouth bled for a long time, but then it stopped. Mama and Daddy looked in my mouth and they think I just cut my lip so I will be just fine. The only bad thing is that now my lip is all swollen up and puffy. I look pretty weird. It was really scary, but I'm just fine now so don't worry about me. Halloween's coming up pretty soon and my Auntie Jenn is coming to visit me on Wednesday so my exciting month isn't even over yet. I can't wait!
