We had a great time at the pumpkin patch. We went with cousins Emily, Evelyn, Jack and Clay. It was so fun to watch them all run around in and out of the giant tunnel, hay maze, and around the pumpkin patch. Everyone picked a little pumpkin. Paige is sure to tell you that her pumpkin has "curly cues" on it(referring to the vines around the stem).

1 Week!

1 week old and doing great! Hannah is a great baby - pretty content and a great sleeper. Hannah and Paige are enjoying each other. Paige cannot give enough kisses and hugs. She always needs to know where "baby Hannah" is!

Meet Hannah!

Hannah Kristine Holland was born at 12:09 am on October 3rd. Just missing Grandma Katie's birthday by 9 minutes. She was 8lbs, 9oz and 21 inches long. She is a happy, healthy, well loved baby! Her delivery was quick. We went out to birthday dinner with Grandma and then went to the hospital for a quick check and within a few short hours she was here! Paige is one of Hannah's biggest fans. So in love with Hannah!!!

Turning 2!

Hard to believe we already have a 2 year old!!!  Paige is getting so big.  Talking nonstop and beginning to become so aware of her world around her.  Kyle was out of town for Paige's birthday so we have had ongoing birthday celebrations.  We started off her birthday morning with a doughnut and then went to the fair.  We finished the week with a family dinner on the patio.  Here are some pictures from our celebrations!

Counting!

The other day Paige surprised us by counting to ten while dumping the rice crispies into the bowl making rice crispy treats.  She has been repeating after us, but never finished all by herself.  Today, while taping her, I was surprised when she added 11 after 10 in her counting!  We don't have the longest attention span, but what can you ask when you are not quite 2.  She learns so much each day.  (PS - sorry for the crazy bows - they were holding her little hairs back while she got a bang trim and hadn't gotten them out yet.)  Enjoy!!!

Reading!

Paige loves books with cars, trucks, and tractors.  Here is a video of her reading a little car picture book. The reading teacher in me loves that she can read the book, retell some of the story, and then make connections!

Sunriver Family Fun!

We had a week of swimming, biking, walking, and enjoying family in Sunriver.  Paige got to play with her cousins and enjoy Grandma and Grandpa all week!
