After the pumpkin patch, this evening we went outside to carve our first pumpkin together. Our pumpkin turned out well, despite the fact that Lance and I aren’t the most experienced carvers.
Lyla particularly enjoyed cleaning out the pulp and seeds – and playing with her very own mixing bowls, of course :
Who cares about how cool our pumpkin is? I just want to eat part of his head:
Doing what Lyla Q. loves most:
Our jack o’ lantern by night:
In developmental news, Lyla got herself up to standing tonight for the first time right before bed. I know it sounds odd – one would think that she was already doing that if she’s walking around everywhere. However, in classic fashion, Lyla Q. has her own way of doing things. In her book, crawling is a non-issue, walking is the ultimate goal and pulling herself up to stand (in the middle of the room, mind you) is the priority list in order of importance. We were getting her ready for bed and, suddenly, she put her legs apart, reached down on the floor and pushed herself up, unaided by any furniture.
We sat there in awe as we often do with Miss Q. and just laughed and clapped for her. She’s our girl! :)
