Last weekend, my family took me to Virginia to meet their old friends. First, we went to Richmond & sweet Emma welcomed me with BIG hugs. Her new little sister, Izzy, was very nice too, although she didn't do much but eat, sleep & poop (she's 1 month old). Thanks to Chuck & Kellie for being great hosts- mommy & daddy said they had great food at their house. We also had a playdate with Kurt, Kristin, J.D., & Lily at the park. I had so much fun playing in the sand with Lily. Thanks for some yummy fruit at the Stemhagen house. Then, we went to Charlottesville, where Mommy & Daddy lived before I was born. I got to see their old house (minus a big tree in front), ACAC & ALL of Mommy's friends (I got lots of oohs & aahs & hugs), University of Virginia where Daddy went to school (his adviser Eric was nice enough to give up his office for me to eat and get a clean diaper), and the beautiful Shenandoah valley. A big thanks to Rich & Laura Miller (plus their fur baby, Logan) for letting us stay at their house. Mommy & Daddy said they had a great dinner with them & Matt & Amy, who gave me a GREAT gift of Curious George & "Make way for Ducklings". It was a busy time & I wish I could have stayed longer.
We went to an apple orchard that had a pumpkin patch on Oct 20th. Mommy is a little slow posting my pictures lately. I'm not sure why I had to sit on them- not the most comfortable seat. I really wanted to take this big one home, but we found one that was just my size.

I'm half a year old! Mommy & Daddy can't believe how fast time is flying by. I am now sitting up without any help, which is so much fun. It means I can play with my toys all by myself, although I still like to show off my skills for Mommy & Daddy (it's no fun playing alone!). I can also push myself off the ground with my arms. Having trouble figuring out how my legs go with it, but watch out Mommy, it won't be long! Mommy was very proud of me too when I said her name the other day. I may have been asking her to feed me, so I was a little mad, but I did say, "Mama". I did it again on the changing table when I wasn't mad to make sure she really heard me- Daddy was there to witness it too. It's so much fun growing up & sharing my life with you. Thanks for following along- can you keep up??
