I didn't realize it's been 3 months since I've last updated our blog! Charleigh has changed so much since our last update in July. She's into EVERYTHING! We really could probably do without toys right now, because she will find anything entertaining as she's exploring. We've spent lots of time outside lately since the weather has cooled. She loves visiting all of the great parks we have around us. She's become very agile, climbing up and down stairs very easily, crawling through the tunnels on the playgrounds, and sliding down the slide by herself. She hasn't figured out how to sit and slide, so she gets on her hands and knees and turns her body with her feet going down the slide first, let's her body slide down while hanging on with her hands at the top, and then she'll finally release and slide down...very cute to watch! She's really into pumpkins and ghosts with Halloween all around us, and she says "boo" anytime she sees anything to do with either. Charleigh still LOVES her books, and we'll often find her sitting among a pile of books quietly by herself for quite a long period of time (15 mins. of quiet is a big deal)! She is also really into school busses, squealing when she sees them when we're out and about, rolling her hands around and around because as you know, "the wheels on the bus go round and round" (one of her favorite songs), and when it passes, she grunts and holds her hands palm side up as if asking, "Where is the bus going?" She also is really into animals right now. She knows quite a bit of animal noises, "cocka-doodle-do" being our personal favorites because she just moves her tongue back and forth while making a noise. Although, her pig "snort" is pretty hillarious, too! She's answering yes and no questions very well. Her yes is very cute because she says it with a bit of a lisp, "yeth". She uses please most of the time without prompting, which sounds like "pisss". She loves her dolls equally as much as she does cars and trucks.
This pregnancy is going very well so far. I'm feeling really good with lots of energy, which is a huge blessing as it requires a bit of energy to keep up with Charleigh. We've found out that we're having another little girl, and we've decided to name her Reagan Jean. We've been trying to talk about Baby Reagan in Mama's belly as often as we can, telling Charleigh about her new sister. She really loves babies, so we're hopeful that she is going to enjoy being a big sister in a few months.
Here are some recent (well, the past 3 months) pictures:
Told you she was "into" everything!

Enjoying her books
Fun at the park with Kohen
And then a stop for a yummy icecream cone!
Charleigh recently visited a pumpkin patch with her cousin, Kohen, her best buddy. They both loved the pumpkins and holding the bunnies!
The best I could do...not sure how ANYONE gets two kids to look at a camera at once!
It's a BIG pumpkin!
Loved holding the soft bunnies
Not sure why the picture inserted this way, but here's a family pic from our hike last weekend (don't get a krick in your neck! :) )
Charleigh in her Woolly Worm sweatshirt. She's telling Pops she's ready to hit the links!
On our way into the Wooly Worm festival
It was a chilly morning, but the mountian air was so refreshing!
Charleigh didn't want to have anything to do with "Woolly"
She LOVED getting her picture taken here...she cried when we were done!
After our hike...LOVE this picture of Charleigh and Brian!
Could be our Christmas card :)
This is as close as Charleigh wanted to get to the woolly worm!
We hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying fall as much as we are! I promise to update sooner than 3 months from now...Halloween will hopefully provide for some great pictures to share with you! :)
