Update from the last couple of weeks!

We have been having so much fun these last few weeks. October is just the best. The weather here has just been perfect! We have been spending lots of fun time outside. Lily loves riding on her Daddy's back! One other thing I need to add before I forget is how polite Lily has become. She tells us and anyone else "thank you" all the time. Like when we help her w/ something or get something for her she always makes sure she thanks us for what we did for her. It is just the sweetest thing. She also loves to sing. She sings for everyone. She sings for her playgroup friends, at the grocery store, for family, pretty much anyone who will listen. Her favorite song to sing is Itsy Bitsy Spider, but she also likes Row, Row, Row your boat, Old MacDonald, If Your Happy and You Know It, Happy Birthday, and Head Shoulder Knees and Toes.


We also bought a firepit and have enjoyed making some very yummy smores!



Lily enjoyed her first smore! It did get quite messy. Her favorite part of it was the chocolate!


We also went to the Jacksonville Zoo earlier this week. We got there at 9am right as they opened and they were not busy and the weather was gorgeous! Since they were not busy we let Lily walk along beside us. We all had a great time. Before we even got to the zoo she was talking about most wanting to see the Kangeroos, you can tell from one of the pics below that they were really putting on a show for us! We had a nice picnic lunch after we were finished at the zoo! A great way to spend the morning!






She was running through the mist!


She found my panda slippers and wanted to wear them!

Lily is such a little adventurer. She loves being outside and she loves, loves, loves all bugs. We have started going on bug hunts! We bought her a net and her Granny got her a bug magnifying glass so she makes sure she has all of her gear and then off we go. For weeks now she has wanted us to catch a butterfly. A couple of days ago I was able to catch one for her and she had fun investigating it before we let it go. She also loves to go outside and "listen to the sounds" as she says. Our next door neighbors have a wooden fence and she says "lets listen to the sounds of the fence" they have some older boys they are out there playing alot and she likes to listen for them.
