Pumpkin Parade and Random Pics

A week ago Saturday Layla and I went to Zeeland's Pumpkin Parade with Mike, Em and Gavin. Joe stayed home to work on our basement--hopefully I'll have a post on that in the next couple of months that it's finished! We're about ready for drywall--so we're getting there!

Em and Gavin...

Layla and me...

Layla and me again...we were lucky it barely rained! It was a little chilly, but overall a nice fall day. The sun was out a little before the parade and then came out again after it was done. Layla loved the marching bands and enjoyed bopping to the music. She got a little ansy at the end of the parade as I think she would have liked to join right in, but overall she really liked it!

Layla was supposed to wear matching purple Halloween socks but right before we were going to leave I couldn't find one of them anywhere! I shouldn't have laid them out ahead of time. She found it back when we got home--she had put it in one of her dresser drawers. She likes to put things away, but doesn't always put them in the right place! Very frustrating when I can't find things!

I thought this was cute sibling love. Today she was holding on to his back half so hard that he started moving and was dragging her behind:-). I don't think he appreciated that! She loves to give him kisses--but sometimes too many! The open mouth kisses are the main problem:-).

Here's my largo 23 week pic...and yes, that is a spill on my stomach:-).

I got Layla this ugly old Loving Family motorhome at a garage sale the other day thinking it'd be good to keep in the trailer, but she loves to zoom it around the house. I bought her some dolls to put in it too that she liked for a bit b/c they have fake hair (like Barbie), but she prefers to put her Dolly and her blankie in it instead and take them for rides. She definitely loves her blankies and Dolly. I store her Mickeys and Minnes in her Minnie grocery cart and every day she empties all the Mickeys and Minnies out and puts Dolly and some blankies in it and pushes thosee around. I think I need to find a new spot to store her Mickeys and Minnies as I'm sick of picking them up! I'm getting less and less motivated to pick up her toys and it's getting more and more uncomfortable to bend over!

Joe has been helping with the vacuuming now and Layla thinks it's fun to copy him:-)...

Layla loves to take my slippers and tries to walk in them. They're a little big:) so I put her slippers on the other day and she was quite happy. I think her and Elv were waiting for Joe to come in the door Saturday morning, that's why they're looking at the door...

Layla and I are both fighting nasty colds. We're now in the stuffy nose/bad cough stage. This was after she woke up from her nap today. It's a little hard to see, but she's sitting in her little chair all snuggled up (and don't mind the laundry piled up in the background--I've been super unmotivated to fold laundry especially with this cold and my back has been sore and I still have "morning" sickness--I know I'm being a complainer:D). She's been really needy the past few days. I also just noticed she finally got her 3rd tooth on the bottom, so that may have been part of her issue too. She now has 3 on the top center, 1 top molar, and 3 on the bottom middle. So she's still getting them in a weird order, hopefully eventually they all come in:-). I tried last week to get her to drop her morning nap, but then she got sick so that didn't work well. And while she's been sick she's had her pipe a lot, so hopefully it's not an issue to drop that again once she's feeling better (aside from sleeping and car rides)!
