How is it October already?

I feel like I blinked and September was gone and we were half way through October already. We are all doing well around here and enjoying the Fall weather. I think our days of 80 degrees are finally over and we can look forward to some cooler temps. Anabelle has been on the move lately, with lots of stair climbing, scrambling around in a half kneeling position (I'll try to get some video-it's pretty funny. She looks like she in perpetual proposal pose *if you can picture that*) and almost walking. She stands on her own and has taken some steps but both John and I agree that she isn't technically walking yet. But she's about as close as you can get. We are ready!
I have a few pictures to share from some random things Anabelle and I have been up to.


Here she is wearing the adorable U of I dress that Becky got her! Looks super cute with leggings underneath. These are on our front steps.


Of course we have our U of I flag out!


Anabelle and I took a trip with friends Angela, Andrew, and Sophia to the Lincoln Park Zoo. I love this place; it is free and a nice place to just walk around. Of course we HAD to ride the carousel. Anabelle liked it.



The other day we were at the train station waiting to pick up Uncle Joe, and Anabelle was feeling antsy. So we got out of the car and spent some time exploring a nearby park. The leaves were beautiful and it was a perfect day.


Here is an example of the pirate/proposal pose, now just picture her scooting around like that super fast.


Some play time with Daddy before bed.


We are going to get pumpkins this Saturday so I should have some good pictures to post on Sunday of our trip. Hope you all have a great weekend!
