Walkin'

Melody loves going for walks. She finds them so relaxing, she passes out!

On a side note: for all of us who wondered where Melody got her expressive eyebrows, I think we have an answer!

Sweet Potatoes!

This past Saturday we began introducing sweet potatoes for dinner. She wasn't sure what to think of the first two bites, but by Sunday night she couldn't get enough! She got really mad when I stopped giving them to her after an entire small jar.

Pumpkin Patch

We're getting ready for Halloween! Last weekend we picked up our pumpkins and got to see llamas, cows, sheep, and goat as a bonus! Melody was so impressed she threw up on me.

First Bite

Mellie has officially started solid foods. So far, she's not too impressed.

We've also discovered that her favorite chew toy is the bottom of a water bottle.

She was not happy when she looked away for a second, and looked back to discover that I had taken it away to have a drink of water!

Birthdays

For my mom's birthday this year, my dad surprised her with a trip out to LA. He had taken notes on her clothes, and had everyone at the library covering her shifts and checking her schedule for meetings. He had her bags packed, picked her up from work, and headed to the airport!

Jeremy's birthday was also last weekend, so we had a family bbq:

During the bbq we checked in on Mellie, to find that she had rolled over and was sound asleep on her stomach.

She has also started making more and more sounds. Currently, her favorite is the "mmm" sound. She makes a great face to go with it:

While my parents were here, we got Mellie a little mustache of her own to show off that she is "Daddy's little girl!"
