Day 269

Today was a nice Fall day, not too hot and we all know Mama loves that! Well, Penelope slept in this morning, 8:30, so that was nice!! We stuck close to home until P had her nap, and it turned out to be a nice, long one! :) I took that opportunity to clean up last night's and this morning's mess. And, I may have sat on our front room chair and dozed for a few... That might have happened. ;) Later we got ready and went to the Scarecrow Festival-- big yawn!! Not very cool, but that's okay... Maybe next year will be better, I was informed that this was it's first year, so.... Yeah. We got to get some fresh air and walk around some, so that was good. Later, Penelope and I had dinner and began to play, but she was so tired and cranky before 7pm, I ended up putting her to sleep early-- 6:15ish. Our baby is sleeping so well now, though, I am just so thankful for that. She is also walking a LOT more-- whenever I put her down for playtime (I may be cleaning, doing dishes, cooking, etc) she is just walking around and around! I have to be careful now to keep our bedroom and bathroom doors closed, too many ways to get in trouble in there! I let her walk around alone, but if she stays somewhere, I'll either go to her or have her come back so I can keep an eye on her. No reason to take chances!! :) Also, P is starting to mimic us. I'll shake my head "no", and she'll do it! I am trying to teach her simple words, and it's slowly coming. :) Our baby will be a year old in a matter of days, and she is just becoming the cutest, sweetest, smartest and most fun kid! We're so proud of her. 

I'm due in 3 weeks, 5 days. Can't wait. Cannot. Wait. That is all. :)

A few pix & goodnight!
