Corn Maze Fun!

We took Gabriella to the corn maze today. We went to the one in Medford at White's Country Farm. They have a 5 acre corn maze (without scary decorations!) and lots of other fun things to do. Once we got inside  the maze we let her lead the way.

 A video of her trying to find Daddy when he was hiding from her. 

Sticking her finger up Daddy's nose when we tried to take a picture!

 Holding the rock she picked up and carried most of the time! 

 Corn faces!!

Her first pony ride on "Nay Nay" (what she calls horses)

A video of her riding the pony. 

Saying bye-bye to the pony after we got done riding. 

Feeding the goats. They licked her hand and were tickling her. She kept laughing and laughing while she was feeding them!

My Silly Girlie!

Gabriella has started trying to dress herself whenever she finds clothes in the house. She pulls clothes out of her drawers, out of the laundry baskets, and from the folded clothes piles. This was too funny not to record!

Baby Kiwi

We found a Cabbage Patch Doll at a yard sale and Gabriella just had to have it. Matt kept asking her what her baby's name was and she finally responded with "Baby Kiwi".

After she had a bath (with Clorox wipes!) we diapered and dressed her.

Gabriella gave her lots of hugs and kisses and then we were on our way to the car for church.

Gabriella shared her water and snacks with Baby Kiwi the whole way there.

After church she snuggled Baby Kiwi to sleep at naptime at Grammie and Grampa's house.

Decorating For Fall

We bought some window clings at a yard sale this weekend and had lots of fun putting them up on our big window in the living room. Most of them I placed out of reach of Gabriella, but she had fun putting a few up where she can reach them to rearrange them whenever she wants.

Pumpkin Painting

We were at the Grower's Market on Saturday and Gabriella really wanted a pumpkin so we let her pick one out at the booth that was selling them for $1 each.

Tonight we got out the paint to decorate it.

She waited very patiently while I shook the paints and poured them on her plate.

She's pretty good at getting the paint from the plate to what she is painting. She also likes to mix the colors on the plate before putting them on too.

Holding her pumpkin up after it had dried. You'll notice that she also painted the stem. She was very proud of her work and enjoyed holding her "heavy" pumpkin.

First Time Having Hot Chocolate

Today is the first cold, rainy day we've had this fall so Gabriella and I decided to have some hot chocolate. I got a video of her trying it for the first time.

I think she finished it in less than a minute! So cute!!

Sweet Dreams

Gabriella has a new way that she likes to fall asleep at night, with her hand resting on or patting baby Reuben in my stomach.

A couple nights ago she was patting him while he rolled around. He stopped moving and she started crying and saying, "Babe Dubay!" over and over again and patting my stomach until he started moving again. She loves feeling him move! Whenever she is talking to him or giving my belly kisses, he always starts moving around. It is already obvious that they are going to be best buddies!

Josie (our Chihuahua) has also found a new way to sleep. We discovered her in Gabriella's bed a couple weeks ago and shoo-ed her out, but she just ran right back in there after we went to bed. Now every night when Gabriella is asleep, Josie runs in and snuggles right up with her. This picture is from last night at 3 am when I went in to check on her. So sweet!
