October is here and fall has finally arrived here in Happy Valley. This month is packed full of so many wonderful things that I had to take the time to write my blog post. 

The month started out with the weather changing and the temps dropping. the leaves are falling and already mom and dad are coming up with photo opporuntities involving piles of leaves. There are so many great things happening this month that our social calendar is very very full! To start off with we had our trip to the pumpkin patch with the Wollford Family. We got to pick pumpkins and mom and dad took lots of picture with me in the bins (see the October photos). It was fun, I guess. I'm just not sure what the big deal is, but mom and dad say that they are fun to carve up and set on our porch. After the patch we went and had dinner, and it was pretty fun. 

Our next big event was the Penn State Homecoming. Mommy went and bought me some cold weather clothes for PSU so that I would be ready to support the team in the cold weather. On Friday night, mom and dad bundled me up nice and warm and we went to the parade. I had some dinner and took a quick nap, but boy when those Army cadets marched by, I came awake and watched the rest of the parade. Take a look at me all bundled up in the photos page. Right after that was baby Eli's baptism and party. I got dressed up in one of my party dresses and momma and daddy and I went to the church and watched him get baptised and then we were off to the party. Momma made some salad and a bunch of deviled eggs so we packed in the cooler and then had a whale of a good time with Uncle Geoff and Aunt Mya and all their friends. And Mr. Eli looked so handsome in his outfit!!

In other news I had my 4 month check up with Dr. Coggins. He says that I am right on track with my growing! I am 13 pounds and 26 1/4 inches long. Mom says I am twice the girl I used to be!! And in the most exciting news, I am moving to eating baby food twice a day. For now, it's just a few spoons after my bottle to get me used to the spoon, taste and texture. But by my next check-up, Dr. Coggins says that I will be eating a whole container of baby food at each sitting which is pretty exciting. I thought apples were ok, but I really like bananas!!!

The month is busy, so keep checking back to see what we're up too!! PEACE!
