Inside/Out

So according to one of my friends, yesterday was Allie's "Inside/Out" day. In other words, she was 9 months old! She has officially been out in this world as long as she was in my tummy. I mean, I know I say all the time how fast time is going, but holy cow, it is insane! She does so much now, and since she has started crawling like a crazy kid she has really gotten skinny too. It's amazing that I am already starting to think about her first birthday party!!!

So, other than my little weed growing, things are pretty busy around the Jenkins' home lately. It seems like we have things going on every weekend. This upcoming weekend is the annual Ride for Rett and Halloween! Of course, I am so excited to see Allie in her ladybug costume, it is so cute! The next few weekends we have our church's fall festival, a friend's baby shower, my nephew's 3rd birthday, my dad's 50th birthday, and then the holidays begin! Whew, I am tired just thinking about everything.

Well, my dear hubby is out of town again, so I think I am actually going to go to bed early. Allie is already down for the night and I think I am going to follow her cue. G'Night!

Here are some of Allie's 9 month pics. To see more, check my album on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2071409&id=66501249&l=d7f480a2de

See those long, skinny legs??? (Yep, 90% for height folks!)

Little Punkin'

We have really enjoyed "family time" the past couple of weekends. Two weekends ago we headed out to Homestead Hollow after church for some time outside and yummy food, and this weekend we went to the Great Pumpkin Patch in Hayden. While we were there Allie got to meet some cute animals in the petting zoo...her definite favorite were the geese! (I think because they were so loud!) Then we got on the big hay ride and headed out to the patch where we all three gathered our cute little pumpkins. After lugging three pumpking, Allie, the diaper bag, and the camera back onto the hay ride and to the car, we decided on a big cup of fresh lemonade. Well...Allie LOVED it! She has mastered the art of sucking out of a straw and was crazy over this lemonade! ha! After some pictures and walking around, we called it a day.
We have truly enjoyed this great fall weather (even with all the rain), and I look forward to more weekend adventures coming soon...especially Allie as a ladybug on Halloween!

Just the Two of Us...

Well, for the rest of the week it is just going to be Allie and me. I don't think I realize how much my hubby does until he is not going to be there to do any of it. He is such a huge help, especially with Allie, and I don't think I always recognize how truly blessed I am.

So my prayer is that I get to work on time! In the mornings, DJ usually gets Allie ready, feeds the pets, and does the last minute clean-up since our house is for sale (he leaves the house an hour after me in the mornings). Now I have to do it all and get myself ready, and get out the door! Aaaggh! I know we will be fine, but I am already planning on loosing some precious sleep time every morning.
