Happy 23rd month birthday!

We're almost there! Only one month until Presley turns two! So a few final shots of the monthly birthday signs that help us keep track of how time flies!

(We're in a sheet "cave" at the house)

Diamonds!

So the other day Derek was talking to Presley and the conversation went something like this...

Derek: Presley, what do you want to do today?

Presley: Shopping.

Derek: What do you want to go shopping for?

Presley: Diamonds.

Sounds good, right? Like I'm training her well?

Sadly, she's actually just talking about Sam's. : )

Happy Halloween!

This year, Presley was able to dress up in two different outfits... a Poodle Skirt and as a doctor.

This picture is getting ready to go to Aunt Kim's house for trick or treating. We really didn't go anywhere else this year. She still doesn't know what she's missing so we just stayed at home and she watched other kids come to the door in crazy costumes. She would just peek around the corner at them and giggle.

My little doctor. : )

She kept the hat and the coat on really well. We bought it really big, though, so she could play dress up with it for the next couple of years, too.

Checking her heart. She's also very good now about checking her baby doll's heart. : )

Some more pictures of the 50's. In her words, she is "supercool" in these sunglasses.

Pumpkin Carving!

This year Presley was really able to participate in the pumpkin cleaning/carving. She had a good time, but wasn't too crazy about all the stuff that stuck to her hands. She kept holding them out to us and saying "Dirty. Clean 'em."

Hard at work. no time to smile for the camera.

Working on a little pumpkin that is just her size!

After all the hard work...the final product!!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We ventured out into the Great Pumpkin Patch near our house. Presley is very good at saying "Pun-kin, Pun-kin" and surrounded by 700 of them is a fun place to be.

Getting some Pumpkin lovin! Punkin, you get a hug for growing so big!!

"Uhh, how bout this one? Can I have this one?"

Photo Op. Can you tell this is a forced "say cheese" moment? : )

One cute little punkin in the middle of a pumpkin patch!

Bubble Bath Fun!

The girl loves her bubble baths!

Texas A&M

We made a quick trip through College Station the other weekend and stopped to take some pictures. She's getting pretty good at giving the thumbs up while saying "Gig'Em" and even perfected her "Howdy!" while we were in town. : )

Here is a picture of Presley dancing underneath the new giant Aggie ring outside of the Alumni building.


The Century tree, of course.

Kyle Field.

Whoa.

...but her favorite thing was walking up all the steps. They impressed her the most. She would just keep begging us to take her up and down stairs. I'm pretty sure we all got our workout in that day. But on a positive note, she did sleep quite well so we're thinking of getting her a stairmaster for Christmas.
