It's autumn time, hooray! We've had lots of fun this October doing seasonal activities with Olivia during her first autumn.
We started out the season by enjoying a very Halloween-y Disneyland!
We also went to a pumpkin patch! Olivia was fascinated the entire time we were there.
So excited!
Then Saturday night was our ward's "Trunk-or-Treat" Halloween party. After weeks of serious contemplation, we finally decided what to be-- the Peanuts gang! Nick was Charlie Brown, Becky was Lucy, and Olivia was Snoopy. Even though our costumes were homemade and compiled on a low budget, they turned out pretty good. Olivia, of course, was the cutest and got all the attention at the party!
Have we mentioned lately how hilarious Olivia is? Her latest funny quirk is liking to hold a pair of things in her hands. Pretty much all the time. Sometimes it's a couple of her stacking cups...
...or she'll hold a pair of socks...
Silly girl!
...but her favorite by far is holding two linking rings.
These little beauties go everywhere with Olivia-- play dates, car rides, the grocery store, even the bathtub sometimes! We love it because when she crawls around the house with them in her hands, you can hear her coming when she crawls across the tile. She's like a little horse! Which is why her new nickname is Li'l Sebastian :) [All you "Parks and Rec" fans will appreciate that one]
Here she is playing at the park with them. And yes, she successfully held them the whole stroller ride there and back without dropping them!
When you're 10 months old, you can do some pretty cool big girl stuff. For example, you can read books more often by yourself.
You can also (attempt to) drink from water bottles.
It's really fun to chat/wrestle with your Pooh Bear.
And, since you have 3 1/2 teeth, you can try new and exciting foods.
Olivia's first taste of In 'N' Out french fries!
She wasn't really a fan...
And like all big people, you can start taking "selfies".
Oh, doesn't Olivia just look so big in all these pictures!? I guess we better start accepting that our baby girl is growing up and is going to turn ONE next month!
