Happy Halloween

Lila got her first pumpkin earlier this month, while her Grandma and Grandpa Vaplon were here. She ran around the "patch" checking everything out and even took a turn through the maze...until she panicked and had to be rescued.

Lila's first fishing trip

Sunday we decided to take advantage of the beautiful fall weather and took Lila out on the river for her first fishing trip. She was a little scared at first of all the new sounds, but once we stopped at the first fishing hole she started to get excited. She kept running to Eric so he could hold her over the edge and she could touch the water.

Lila was unsure about the fish Eric caught but as soon as he dropped it back in the water, she was racing to the edge to watch it swim away.

Fall Raspberries

After an entire summer of Lila spitting out berry after berry that we gave her, she’s finally found a taste for them and can’t get enough. She’s gotten very good at spotting the ripe ones and picking them off the bushes. Even after they’re all gone, she’ll stand against the fence, pointing at them and signing “more”, looking up at us with pleading eyes….then crying and pounding her feet when we tell her they’re all gone.
