Another Fall Week

Finally, a week of beautiful weather! We are taking advantage of every second of this gorgeous fall weather! Earlier this week, we met Auntie Abla at an orchard near our home.

Zachary is almost sitting by himself and just days/weeks away from learning to crawl across the floor. He gets up on all fours and then rocks himself back and forth but hasn't yet realized how to get going. Helaina has been an amazing big sister! She adores her little brother.

We didn't think it was possible, but Helaina gets funnier by the day! We're shocked at some of the things that come out of her mouth.

Neighborhood Kids: "Helaina, do you want to watch a movie?"

Helaina: "No. The Doctor says I watch too much t.v."

Kids to me, "When did Helaina go to the Doctor?"

Me: "She didn't."

Emann and Rana were visiting last night, and Helaina asked them to help put her to bed.

Helaina hugs Rana and says, "Goodnight. You smell."

I say to Helaina, "That's not very nice. Mommy thinks that Rana smells like flowers."

Helaina: "Emann you smell like flowers. Rana you smell bad."

WHAT?!?! How do you even begin to prepare to respond to these things as a parent?
