365Project.2014 | Week 45

Slowly but surely, time marches by, and while we enjoy the beautiful days of fall, winter appears to be right around the corner. Regardless, however, we're thankful for the beautiful weather and good health we enjoyed this week. 

Day 299. If you could have heard her giggles!! She was having the sweetest time playing with Daddy. ♥

From littlest to biggest ... Hannah-bug was glad for cooler weather and good reason to wear matching pajamas with her doll. :)

Day 300. Matthew enjoyed the rope swing ...

While Mommy enjoyed the hammock with Abby. She was fascinated by the leaves in the trees above us. I love how you can see the shadow of them reflected in her eyes. (Thanks for the hammock, Great Grandma and Grandpa!!)

Day 301. Daddy, our arborist, enjoyed snuggles with Abby while he gave Mommy a tour of our property and some trees newly identified. :)

Day 302. Happy three months, Miss Abby! You surely do melt our hearts!! ♥

At three months, she's loves to sit up (with support), she "talking" and cooing, and gives us the biggest smiles! Within the last week or so she has started to show interest in small toys, and she likes sucking her fingers. She *usually* sleeps about 6-7 hour stretches at night, generally prefers to eat every 2 hours during the day, and weighs 13.2 lbs. :) In case you were wondering. And if not, it's okay. I will be four+ years down the road when I get ready to pull her baby album together. ;)

Day 303. I've  not been the best about consistently having her do "Tummy Time," so we've been making a conscious effort to do that more often this week. Thankfully, she's not really fussing with it at all and is getting stronger. :)

After using it for Tummy Time, Hannah and Abby had fun talking to each other through the mirror. ♥

Oooh! Tummy Time on Daddy's tummy ... even better!

Day 304. Investigating her new rattle ...

And while one is just learning to hold a rattle, another spent three hours leaf blowing the entire area around the house and driveway reachable with a 200 ft extension cord!! ♥ So thankful for our hard-working young man!!

Day 305. And then the weather turned! While many folks around us woke up to record-breaking snow Saturday morning, the first day of November, we simply enjoyed blustery cold. The kids appreciated the novelty of it and bundled up to play outside for a bit.

However, the girls retreated inside for an afternoon of The Sound of Music. ♥  Blustery days are good for that. :)

And that be the stuff our days are made of.
Thankful.
