Impromptu Pumpkin Carving at Grandma I's House

We decided to carve pumpkins at Grandma I's house the other night with our cousins. Here the girls are with their carved pumpkins. Didn't they do a good job?? So, talented for 1 year olds...lol!!! These photos are a little blurry, mommy's camera has been doing that lately :( We finished around 9:30pm, so the girls are in their jammies and doing really well an hour and half past their bedtime!! They went right to sleep when we got home.

Baylee licking her pumpkin!

Amelia thought it was something for her to eat!

Here's the best shot we got of all the carved pumpkins!

Trying Out Our New Plates and Spoons

Amelia picked up her spoon, used her hand to load it and then into the mouth, with most of it getting in!!!

As you can see, Baylee's spoon was discarded, well basically ignored, right away! She dug right in! Poor girl was starving!

Amelia eats her spoon as well! But also used her fingers a lot!

Baylee loves eggs and cheese! Her toast as you can see is gone first!!

We didn't mean to publish 3 posts in one day but for some reason they all showed up, enjoy!

The Morning After Partying Late

Baylee running around in the one layer her parents left on her when they got home late from the halloween party! She slept so late and was so tired from all the dancing!

Here she is crawling around, she wanted to go back to bed!

Amelia in her duds the morning after. She was clingy and very tired! The girls are a lot like their Mommy, they need their sleep!

Smiling because she can smell the brunch Mommy was making for all of them! Yes, we all slept in late so no breakfast, a brunch instead!

Wiped out!

Baylee wants a part of Daddy's legs too!

Brown Farm Halloween Party

Our family at the Halloween Party. Daddy was a army guy (he didn't want to wear the clown costume), our two cute little butterflies and Mommy was "mommy of 2 butterflies with one in the cocoon"

Daddy and Auntie Julie (a contestant on "Let's Make a Deal") with the butterflies!

Cousin Davis (Mickey Mouse) and his mommy!!

Our little Major Cutie, Cousin Brianna!

Two Army People!

Before Bedtime Funny Faces

Baylee smiling for the camera! More like she is avoiding Daddy, he wants to put her in her jammies.

Amelia smiles after getting her jammies on!

Amelia is tattling on Baylee who pushed Mia away when she wanted to get closer to Mommy!

Mommy sings Mia her song to make her smile again!

Baylee thinks the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" song is the funniest!

Amelia also thinks it is hilarious!

Who knows what Amelia is thinking right now, but Baylee is smiling at her!

How can you resist a smile like that?

Amelia watches Baylee smile for the camera instead of turning to smile at the camera too!

She thinks her sister is a crack up!

3 trips to Children's

Mommy took a few shots with her iphone during two of the visits we had with the girls at Children's Hospital the last 6 weeks. We were not allowed to have any form of electrical equipment in the room when Baylee had the wires attached to her head after her seizures, so we only have Amelia's stay for pneumonia and Baylee's visit for her MRI and throat scope! This is Amelia sitting in her crib on her second to last day playing with toys. She was more alert this day and was willing to play for about 10 minutes and then back in Mommy's arms.

Amelia having some pedialyte while watching a movie. She did really well with the IV she didn't take it out or pull on it. She did hand her arm to every nurse or doctor that walking in the room.

Amelia stretching out on a sheet on the floor to give Mommy's arms a much needed rest! This is the night before discharge and she was doing much better!!

Baylee was already done with her check in and prep for her procedure. They let her play in a playroom until the doctor was ready to proceed. She had to be scanned for metal and they took a metal wand detector to her as she stood next to the police car. Mommy told her she never wanted to see her have that done when she was older. The nurses thought it was funny and called her their "little rebel" the rest of the time we were there.

She switched roles and pretended to be a doctor!

She didn't want to come over by Mommy because they wanted to have her put a mask on and practice breathing in, like when they put her out. She didn't want anything to do with that.

They offered different scents for her to chose from to mask the smell. We choose strawberry! She did let them put the mask on her when they put her out. She was a brave little girl. The gown just fit her length. She walked through the hospital like that and would wave to people as she passed. We hope we don't have to do that again anytime soon!

Trip to the Apple Orchard

Getting ready to go after breakfast. Baylee steals a piece of the camera as mommy gets the camera ready to go!!

Amelia gets some playing in before we head out. But doesn't like her boots. She refused to walk in them, so we had to change to their tennis shoes so she would walk. She is a bit stubborn about footwear, she is like her mommy, she likes to be barefooted.

The girls watching the pony rides. Maybe they will want to go on them next year!

Waiting to go to the apple orchard and pick our apples!

The girls get out to do some apple picking. Of course they were interested in only the one we let them eat!

Mommy and Baylee pick out her apple!

Auntie Alexis helps Amelia pick out hers!

Yeah, apples! We couldn't believe the two of them loved them so much.

Daddy had to peel the apples with his teeth to get the skin off. They loved the apples so much!

They did cry when we finally took them away!

MMMMMMMMMM!

Mommy and Auntie Alexis having some apples of our own. We did bring a whole big bag home, where the girls begged for apples everytime we opened the fridge!
