rubber ducky...

We've been pretty lucky and Cecelia seems to enjoy bathtime:

ce's first sponge bath @ home

first real bath, with some help from baxter.

forget that little tub, C is ready for the big leagues! (with some help from mom of course!)

long live bath time! hopefully baby girl continues to like it for a long time!

spontaneous stroll in the woods!

Saturday was perfect fall weather, so Andy, Cecelia & I decided to blow off cleaning the house and headed to Borderland State Park to go for a walk. We discovered that our stroller isn't really made for off roading, so it carried the diaper bag while Andy & I traded off carrying the girl.

Hoping it would be flatter, we ended up doing a longer loop than planned, but it was fun and we should do it more often, maybe with some better planning :)

taking a break halfway(ish)

Surprise!

Saturday we had a surprise party for Andy that Aunt Kristin & Uncle Chris were nice enough to host.

 I wish i had taken a picture of everyone standing on the lawn, Andy thought it was just the family so he was quite surprised! I have to admit I was quite pleased with myself for not giving it away.

here's Ce with her uncle matt enjoying the fresh air

 

here we are enjoying the fire pit

we spent the week before the party running around like crazy buying a new car! it was time to get rid of the ford which not only had no A/C but didn't have room for the squids car seat. double fail.

of course I documented the car buying experience.

all of this has left us wiped out:

and we've been trying to spend this week catching up on some much needed sleep.

Just to brag that Cecelia got her nails trimmed for the first time yesterday, and survived with no nics or cuts!

woot!

apples & punmpkins & hayrides oh my!

We're very much looking forward to fall here in the Farrer Family Household. Temps dipped yesterday which meant Mom got to have a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks & Cecelia got to wear a cute fall outfit:

 

 

labor day weekend

Cecelia was well traveled this holiday weekend! Saturday wasn't well documented, but Cece & Mom went to a baby shower for Ce's new friend Jackson who is keeping his parents on their toes by arriving a month early! he's improving every day and we can't wait to meet him! Cecelia also demonstrated her angry squid skills to those who doubted her :)

After that Ce brought us to uncle chris & aunt kristin's bbq where she had an enjoyable evening.  Here She is hanging out with her grampa farrer.

Sunday we packed up and headed up to Cohassett for more fun with Andy's side of the family. Cecelia got to meet a lot of people who she will have fun playing with in the future :)

 

here is the whole gang! Cecelia's the littlest one on the right ;)

Monday Cece got to say a quick hello to Grampa Pete & Alicia before heading off to yet another cookout at her great Aunt Sue's to say happy birthday & bon voyage to Kathryn who is heading to France for a whole year! wow!

 

 

 

Have a safe trip Kath!!

 

 As usual Cecelia had a blast visiting so many friends and family! Mom's glad to have a few low key days to recover though. :)
