April's Happenings

Autumn is 19 months old.

 She loves water in all it's different forms - baths, pools, lakes, spray bottles, hoses, sinks, ice, and snow. She loves it all! She even likes getting sprayed in her face and in fact she loves it. Sometimes I let her play with the spray bottle herself and she ends up drenched.

  

She wanted to give her baby a bath...

and so she did. I wasn't going to let her. I put the doll up on the sink counter. I left for 2 seconds to grab a towel while the tub was filling and came back to find the doll in the tub. I didn't realize she could even reach that high. Oh well. It was really cute watching her wash her baby. She was very gentle and made sure she was clean from head to toe. 

She loves to tell stories and especially at dinner time. She was telling us an exciting and intense one this night. She would get very animated and loud and then she would whisper for little bit. We tried to get it recorded, but we were too slow. She's a silly one.

When it's been warm enough we will go on bike rides down into town and go to the Post Office and the Park. She loves to play on the swings and go down the slides. 

Time for a cat nap. 

Autumn wouldn't go down for a nap at her normal time,

but eventually she conked out and her kitty did too.

She really loves it when her friends come over to play. They all have a lot of fun together.

This video is of her reading in her closet with one of her friends.
He's reading a cookie monster book in the background. :)

Autumn has all her stuffed animals and books in her closest. Almost once a day I find her in their reading books to her animals. It's the best! 

We got to take a ride into one of our neighbors fields to see the cows and their babies. We just rode out in the middle of a herd of them and sat and watched for awhile. The Momma cow's didn't seem too fond of us, but the calves seemed intrigued. Autumn loves to moo when she sees cows so it was really cool to be so up close and to hear them moo. 

This month we also got to meet a new member of our family. We got another nephew and Autumn got another younger cousin. We met baby Owen when he was about 10 days old. I forgot how little they come. We forgot to bring our camera, but Autumn was really cute with him and held him for minute with help. He is such a cute little thing!
