Happy Half Birthday little Lydia!

Pumpkin Patch

Over the weekend, we went to "Blooms and Berries" pumpkin patch. We saw chickens...

...and Aunt Olivia helped me feed the goats a special treat - Cheerios!

Then, we went on a hayride.

We walked around the field looking for the perfect pumpkins.

There were lots to choose from.

Mom found one!

Aunt Cassie showed me how to sit on this one! How funny!

After returning from the hayride, Dad showed me this really fun slide. He helped me climb up the bales of straw.

Then I slid down! Wheee!!!

I wanted to do it again and again!

Head Gear 2

So, on Friday, I was doing some cleaning, and little Lydia, being the good little helper that she is, decided she also needed a cleaning rag. I started doing something, and then I turned around to find Lydia looking like this...

...as she was playing with her blocks. So, maybe she has decided she does like to wear things on her head. I'm going to have to find her some cute hats for this winter!

Head gear

Lydia does not like to have anything on her head. She persistently takes off hats and hoods. She most definitely will not wear head bands. We use hair rubber bands to make her a pony tail every day, because she doesn't think twice about ripping out a bow or barrette, no matter how tightly it tries to hang on to her hair on the way out. Yet, this week, she found my ear warmer, put it on, and wore it around the house for a bit. It would be great if she kept up this behavior for the winter. We'll see, but I'm not betting any money on it. She was so super cute while it lasted though.
