Last, but not least
Keep scrolling--I added three posts today as there is maximum number of images that can be uploaded per post. The apple one has a fairly big bug in it. Can you find it? By the way, sorry about the sideways photos. I forgot to turn them right-side up. Oops.
October photos
It's actually nice and warm compared to how early November felt last year. Our nights are chilly and afternoons mild. We've had a few freezes, so much of the pretty green is now brown... ahhh, the cycle of colors. I love this time of year and look forward to the winter. It seems that each season is desired in its time.
The Hamners remain healthy and well. Garret's crazy travels have come to an end for this year. The travelling has been a bit hard on each of us, but he seemed to enjoy it for the most part. Fairly wearying but still adventurous. Emma loves her baby and kisses her as often as possible. She's become much more protective and seems to be in every room we are in. I'm enjoying being a mom, simple as it seems. I've been trying to think of all the sweet little things Rowan reminds me of, and the list seems to grow: dandelions, eyelash kisses, rose buds, clementines, sugar plum fairies. She's busy, busy, busy. Just last night she discovered a new sound she can make (sort of a squealing shriek) and made it incessantly. A squealing shriek can mean many things: Emma is fun to watch; I'm hungry; Papa makes silly faces; I like trying to stand; I'm tired. And she's moving, moving, moving, working hard to sit up, standing with a bit of support, stretching, arching, kicking. Another new thing is grabbing. It's amazing to watch awareness developping in her. She sees the blue elephant, sees it's tail, reaches out, grabs ahold, and hangs on for minutes. Hair, necklaces, shirts, neck skin... whatever is in reach. I know that this is not new for babies in general... How many times have I been warned about "the baby" being in a hair-grabbing phase? But, it's new for Rowan, which gives us so much appreciation for how much she's grown in all ways in the last few months.
Here are some recent pics. Some are from our trip to California, one's from Halloween (she's a mummy, but looks a bit like a wooly sheep/wise man in a manger), and a few are just cuties. Hope all are well! We love you lots.
