Lilya picks a pumpkin

On Sunday, October 25, we went to the pumpkin patch at the Methodist Church in West Monroe. Lilya was a little shy at first, then took off with a bang when she saw the other kids picking pumpkins and pulling their wagons. They had many sizes to choose from (little tiny ones to huge ones). She was interested in the giant ones. She would back up to them and sit on them. She also thought she could wrap her arms around them and pick them up. We had a great time. The weather was beautiful. We found a good pumpkin to carve and Lilya ended up getting a little one for herself.

Such a clown

She has become such a clown. She has one drawer in the kitchen that is not Lilya proofed and it contains plastic containers. She pulls everything out of course and as you can tell likes to wear them or maybe her daddy puts them on her head. Either way, both of them are crazy. I guess they have a good time while I'm at work. She is also learning to feed herself. She is doing pretty good for a 14 month old. She does manage to get some food in her mouth...... on the floor, in her lap, in the chair. Sometimes she gives up and uses her hands. Oh well, at least she eats.

Ice Cream Sandwiches

We recently went on a cruise to Cozumel and Progresso. While we were gone, Lilya stayed with the Kay-Kay. Of course, she was spoiled for the entire week. Kay-Kay introduced her to ice cream sandwiches. She loves them. She wants to hold it by herself and gets pretty frustrated when she gets down to the paper as you can see. It starts to get real messy when we have to remove all the paper off, but she loves it. We love this picture. Pretty dang cute, even though she is making an evil face at her daddy.
