Babies are busy...

Holy Crow. We've have a big week in the Yoder house. Unfortunately, Matt and/or I have not reached major milestones in one week. We'd be a lot cooler if we had. Instead, we'll let Farrow steal the show once again.

To start, let me just say that I realize this isn't a "milestone" by definition. However, I think this is one of my favorite things she has done to date. At every meal, and usually after every bite, Farrow has starting doing this.

She's always loved a good meal, but it's nice of her to finally really express her joy of dinnertime. Speaking of dinnertime, we realized that she was becoming a bit sensitive to her spoon, so we took a peak and saw that she has finally cut her first teeth! It seems like she has been teething for quite awhile, so it was a relief to see these suckers finally break through. We can see the tips of her two bottom front teeth, and think we feel a few more as well. This girl doesn't mess around ... if you are going to cut one tooth, why not cut four?

And the big news of the week ... just yesterday she took her first steps! In true Yoder form, she's officially "walking" before her 10mth birthday. I have heard that both Matt and his Dad were walking at very early ages, so Farrow should make them very proud. She took just two steps on her own as she was walking towards me, and she did this routine two times! This means that we are battening down the hatches, since Farrow loves exploring. A whole new world ...

And lastly, in celebration of the season, Matt and I took Farrow to a pumpkin patch this past weekend. Even with the freezing temperatures (38 degrees), we had a great time. Farrow loved seeing all the farm animals, and was especially interested in the chickens. Once we arrived to the farm, I immediately reported to some hot apple cider, and then we hopped on the hayride that took us to the patch. Here are some photos of our Saturday morning; we'll post the final products next week, since we are slicing and dicing these guys Thursday night.




Point to the pumpkin, Farrow. Good girl.
