Yesterday, we gave in and raked a little bit! While Rebekah was not interested in using the baby-sized rake, she was very interested in the process as a whole. It took about 3 second for her to realize that something fun was going on...she immediately plopped in the middle of the leaves and insisted on being dragged around on the tarp! She had an absolute blast rolling around in the leaves, as well as throwing leaves over her head!
This was at a street Oktoberfest shindig- thought she looked pretty in the mums...you know, she smiles ALL the time, but never for the camera anymore! ;(
Apparently, we have a water/fountain fetish these days...it was chilly, so I had to make sure she didn't run into the water, but Rebes was super-excited about the fountain.
Trying to get Rebekah to pose is always difficult! This is very typical!
This was her 2-inch long bruise from slamming into the door frame! It was awful...
I had to pull over after realzing that Rebekah had found and opened my lipstick...she was devastated to lose it.
We are still amazed at our little genius. We are learning to give Rebekah the benefit of the doubt- she was barking at a field of cows and Josh tried to correct her with a moo, but she insisted. Finally, we saw a sheepdog in the corner of the field and that was what had caught Rebekah's eye! Similarly, Rebekah has started consistently mooing as we pass our favorite ice cream store- we are assuming that she remembers their cow motif. Just to throw a little perspective in, tho, she does moo at giraffes, too...? Rebekah is also learning all her friends' names and ours, so that is fun! She also points out her grandparents by name in pics to her babysitters! We are working on her aunts and uncles and niece for the holidays....

She could be mooing at the giraffes because they have spots also. Just a thought. I hate it when Zoe Scout gets bruises on her face. I am always afraid someone will think badly of me.
I love the pics in the pile of leaves!
It hurts me for her sake to see her injuries! She is a busy little girl and will have many! I love it that she loves pumpkins as does her Grandmama!
An absolute cutie. Thank you for so faithfully updating your blog; I feel like I have watched her grow up, and now here she is enjoying her second fall. She is adorable next to the pumpkins. :)
Do you know E would consistently (no joke) get her bumps and bruises on Saturday night, leaving us to explain to the nursery worker the next day the reason for the new blemish. Eek! (But also appropriately humbling.) So glad that people understand kids and their propensity to lose their balance or not look where they're going. ;)
Love all these pics!!! she is SO adorable!!!!
