Eva's first Pumpkin

So its been quite a while since I last posted, and too much has happened that I don't know if I will have time to go back through and document everything that I have pictures of. So instead here are new pics from today:

Uncle Guy and Aunt Chris wanted Eva to have a pumpkin, which was very nice of them. Unfortunately Eva is too young to appreciate some of the treats that will probably come from their gift, but Nick and I will definitely appreciate it!

I have really been enjoying the season with Eva. We went for a "crispy" walk in the leaves the other day, we investigated our pumpkin today...Last weekend Eva dressed up for her first Halloween party...

I'm looking forward to the holiday season, I'm sure Eva will love all the colors and lights of Christmas.

It took a while (and quite a few shots) to get Eva to look up AND smile, but when she did it really worked well!

"Thanks for the pumpkin Uncle Guy and Aunt Chris!!!!!"

Eva eating Cereal

We had fun seeing her reaction to Rice cereal. Too cute!

Eva and the Exersaucer

She was playing happily one day and then I looked over and she was asleep!

Blog-worthy news

Eva is now 3 months old, and as of last night/this morning she has slept straight through the night for the first time! About 8 hours in fact. The lack of sleep thing has never really been a big issue for us because Nick is such a night owl that it works out for him to stay up if she is awake at night. But it is exciting to know that she can do it! Way to go Ladybug!! =D

Sunday outfit

I thought I had better post some pics on here for Grandmas that couldn't see Eva this Sunday. This is a dress that friends from church "handed down" to Eva, and it was the perfect thing for her to wear today. Its 100% cotton, and very lightweight, great for a day when the humidity was around 90%.

Her new favorite thing is sucking on her hands, yum!

There were many comments on the dress and how cute she is in church. I have to admit that I totally agree.

Things that grow

A young zucchini that will probably end up being bars or bread

One of the blooms on the 4 o'clocks

Still love my violas, probably still my favorite...

Although these purple morning glories are a close second!

First zucchini I picked, can't really tell from the photo, but it was pretty big!

Mmm. Beans

I picked a huge basket full, and there are more to come later!

Now I can't take credit for the garden this year. I originally wasn't going to do one because when it was time for planting, etc. in the spring I was hugely pregnant and figured when would I have time to look after a garden when I am looking after an infant? Our neighbor Amanda took pity on me and the patch of weeds that I had growing and put in a bunch of stuff for us. This was my first "harvest" so to speak, so I'm sure there will be more pictures in the future!

Thanks for the flowers and veggies Amanda! =)

My only comment on this is that we had to edit a part out that was shall we say...sensored. ;-)
