First Time Making Cookies

Owen and I made cookies today. Owen helped by pouring in the sugar, butter, vanilla, flour, salt, and he helped break the eggs. Owen helped stir the cookies with his own spoon until he took it out and licked it. Then he was done. Owen was very patient while we waited an hour for the dough to chill. Then he helped roll out the cookie dough and started cutting cookies shaped like bats, pumpkins, and witches. Apparently Owen thinks that after every time you cut a cookie, you then get to have some dough. So, Owen had to learn that he couldn't have dough every time. After we baked the cookies, Owen helped frost the cookies. He was doing good until he decided to lick the knife. Owen was then able to enjoy the cookie after dinner.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch. It was a cold, foggy day with very light showers. Owen was a fireman and Aliya, a bunny. Owen had fun picking out his pumpkins, but when it came down to paying for them, he was very upset that they took up space in the wagon. In fact, he tossed a pumpkin out and kept saying "No pumpkins in the wagon". We were finally able to go pay for them when I picked him up. I think he was just frustrated that he kept tripping in the pumpkin patch, so it was difficult to walk.






Owen then rode another train which he loves. He has no qualms about getting in by himself. They actually took the train away so that he wasn't able to see us. He had his first funnel cake and loved it even though he was freezing by this point. It was a lot of fun and Owen is excited to "put shapes" on his pumpkin.

Still Growing Like Crazy!

Aliya had her 8 month check-up today. She is very healthy and just keeps growing.
Height: 27" (50%)
Weight: 17 lb 12 oz (45%)

She is doing a lot of things. She can feed little puffs to herself. She is crawling and pulling herself up to a standing position. She took her first few steps of furniture walking yesterday. She can also clap which is pretty cute. She loves to watch Owen sing, dance, and just be silly.
