Pumpkin Patch

We visited Guthrie's Pumpkin Farm in Riceville. TN today. It was a great trip. The farm had lots of activities-- several different types of mazes (corn, hay, etc.), petting farm, hayrides and, of course, the pumpkin patch. Caroline loved playing with the pumpkins, trying to pick them up, roll them around and pull on their stems. She also enjoyed the hayride with the wind blowing in her face and hair. We had a really fun day and hope to make this an annual event.

Pretty Dress

This is one of my favorite dresses on Caroline. She wore it to mommy's friend Ms. Lesley's birthday party last weekend. We got new shoes from Stride-Rite last week too (see second picture). She had already worn out her first pair of Pedi-Peds that we got back in August-- and she needed something sturdier. Caroline likes to hold the hairbrush and try to brush her hair (see third picture), which is a big help to Daddy who sometimes forgets that little girls need to have their hair brushed (see first picture). She is a VERY busy little girl these days. She learned to say "belly button" in the bathtub last night and will look down and point to it if you ask her where it is. Her favorite game right now is to go all around the house opening drawers and cabinets, taking things out of one and putting them back in another. It also apperars that she is working on her sixth tooth, which will probably appear in a few days.
