Renee cruising, more pumpkins and some just plain cute pix



Well October has flown by! We have had lots of fun this month and hit some big milestones. Renee is now crawling and has started to toddle about the house behind her little wheeled toy. Running is not far off! She gets so excited to be moving on her own and goes back and forth across our livingroom. We have discovered that letting her do laps after dinner is a good way to get her to bed earlier. Wears her right out!

We are getting in the Halloween spirit this month as you can see from the pictures. Little bit of Renee trivia, Glenn wanted Halloween to be her middle name so that when she was asked what her favorite holiday was she could tell people it was her middle name. Melanie liked Lauren better ;) We are enjoying all the fun little socks and shirts and other outfits we get to dress her in. Hope you all enjoy the pictures too!

We just had our 9-month doctor's visit and are doing really well. We've been told we need to bulk her up a bit though so now she gets to try meat, cheese and yogurt. Good to have more options available to give her. So far she has liked most everything we have offered, although she definitely enjoys it more if it is our food! Funny how she knows the difference already :)


Have you heard "Jingle Bats" before?


All ready for bathtime in her pretty robe


Munching on a Mum-Mum


Concentrating hard on staying upright


I'll sit for your pictures, but I won't smile


Oh and about that silly hat you want me to wear...


Stop tickling Mom, I'll keep the hat on!


No she wasn't in a fight. Just trying beets for 1st time.


It's a Renee-in-a-pumpkin

Au Natural


It sucked me in!


If I flap these leaves will I get out?


Much better!

Pumpkin Pickin'


Hope that big one doesn't squash me!

We have been having lovely Fall weather here the last week or so, which is about to change to more typical Seattle weather this coming week. This weekend we were able to enjoy the crisp air, clear blue skies and the pumpkin patch! We went to see Grandma and Grandpa Rodney for the afternoon on Saturday and found a nice little patch with lots of good choices in pumpkins and photo opportunites.
Here are a few of our favorite little pumpkin with the pumpkins:

I pick this one!

This is pretty comfy!

So many choices...

On the Move!

It has finally happened! Time to batten down the hatches and cover all the outlets!

Had to share!



Where did we find this guy? He is so funny!
Love to hear Renee's belly laughs. Usually it's Bryce that makes her laugh hardest, but Glenn did the trick this time! Her little screech at the end is her new favorite happy noise. Sounds a wee bit like a pterodactyl, but at least it is from happiness!

So close to crawling

She's a Rock Star Baby!!

VT Grass...

feels oh so good!

Wish we had a nice green lawn to let her play on regularly since it clearly made her day

More summer pictures



These are from the months in between the last two postings :) Can't have any gaps in the Renee Time Line of Events.

We had our 1st 4th of July complete with fireworks, 100 degree+ days = 1st time in the pool, Tim & Benita's wedding, and so much more!


Hooray for the 4th of July!

Weddings make me cry, even before they start!

Found Mommy in the reception line. Not too happy before that. Poor Grandma!

All calm now

Visiting Vermont in August

Ok I started this while in VT with intentions of getting things posted, but it didn't happen. We've been home for a week now and are missing everyone back there while also being glad to get back to poor Glenn who didn't get to go with us.

Once again months have passed and I haven't posted. I will go back when we get home and fill in the last month or so, but I just wanted to post some pictures from the great trip Renee and I are still taking back here in Vermont. We have had a great time visiting Grandma and Grandpa and getting to see lots of other family and friends. The two weeks are flying by and we will be heading home to Glenn on Saturday. Hope he still recognizes his baby now that she's learned lots of new tricks!

What are you putting on my head?
