October

In Oregon we are always taking note of the weather. Especially when we are having nice weather and when its not raining. We have had a great fall this year. The rain has held off and the fall colors have been amazing. Our nieces Abby and Ella visited us thanks to their awesome parents for making the drive from Montana. We had an awesome time with them exploring some kid friendly places like the children's museum and the ever popular pumpkin patch at Sauvie Island. Then we spent a few nights at the Oregon Coast. It was a little cold and windy, but the hot tub made up for that.
Sophie has had many fun nights out with her parents. She likes noisy places, as most babies do, the sounds seem to put her right to sleep. On the days when we are just hanging out at home, she entertains us with her wonderful laugh and playful spirit. She loves going on walks and looking up at the leaves on the trees. We are reading books everyday and she loves playing with her moose, monkey and owl. Tummy time is starting to happen and it seems like she is starting to think about turning over onto her belly. She has really become very vocal and we love hearing her sweet little voice. She weighed 15lbs and is 24 in long. Her hair is continuing to grow and has finally decided to lie down on her head instead of standing straight up. Her eyes are showing a little hint of brown with a shade of blue, so we are still curious what color they will be. Thank goodness she is a good sleeper, both Shaun and I know that we are very lucky for this. More updates soon.
