17 Months, Week 1


















We have been having lot of fall fun this past week!  We also had some fun visitors.  First, Uncle Jordan stopped by for an afternoon visit.  Olivia took a few minutes to warm up but then she really starting having fun!  Especially when she and Uncle Jordan had a tea party.  He was such a good sport!



Uncle Jordan was also nice enough to play along with Olivia as she figured out a new way to play "Peek-a-boo!"  She was pretty proud of herself and it was pretty funny to watch.



















It was also Homecoming at the University of Indianapolis this weekend. We had so much fun with Auntie Carrie and the Galyen family.  Olivia and Isabelle made the cutest cheerleaders in their matching skirts and leggings!  Even though it was pretty chilly, we had a lot of fun watching the golf cart parade, taking pictures with Ace, having tasty treats in the Stadium Club, and cheering the Hounds on to victory!  I can't believe it's been ten years since most of us graduated from there (Josh is an honorary grad since he spent so much time there our senior year while we were dating) and nearly 7 years since Josh started working there.  So many happy memories there!












On Sunday, we headed out to Piney Acres for some fun on the farm!  They had a great kids area complete with a corn maze.  Olivia had so much fun climbing on the bales of hay, running through the maze, and enjoying some apple cider.




















Next, we went on a hayride. Olivia didn't necessarily enjoy "sitting" during the ride, but she did like snuggling under the blanket and checking out all the animals.







It wouldn't be a trip to the pumpkin patch without getting some pumpkins to take home.  Olivia was very choosy but we did find some winners.  She was also adamant that she put them in the wagon herself.  She was also a big help in pushing the wagon to the cash register.













Our little pumpkin got quite the haul at the pumpkin patch! She helped to pick out each of the 7 pumpkins we brought home. I think the pie pumpkins were her favorite because she could easily pick those up and load them into the wagon. If it were up to her, the entire front porch would have been loaded with those babies!


















And just as weather is starting to turn colder, Olivia is sporting the latest on the toddler chic runway (aka the cold weather accessories section at La Target).  Work it girl!
