Halloween, Carhartt, and Leaves Galore!

At Peeks Eeks Party

Our girl in her Carhartt overalls and Ugg boots -- Those are for you Aunt KK

Daddy in his Carhartt, and Syd in hers:)

Sydney in our first of many leaf piles this fall:)

me and my daddy...

In the mornings usually I feed Syd and we hang out in bed together for a little while before we actually get up. Drew was in the other room getting ready for work when I got done feeding her. When she heard him coming towards the bedroom where we were, she went crazy! She squealed and crawled up to me like a speeding bullet to hide from him. It was hilarious and really really cute.

Twins

Our little climber and stander!

Here is a video I took of Sydney today. Hopefully it's not too boring. I just want to have it for later on, and therefore you all can enjoy it too (hopefully)!!

She then stood up using the door to watch for her daddy to get home:)

Montgomery, AL

We are here in Montgomery visiting with one of my lifelong best friends Hannah, and her husband Jeremy. They have been amazing hosts, and I truely cherish my time with Hannah. We went today to a beautiful park for a short but sweet photo shoot. Enjoy!

Wild Eater

This is Sydney eating a puff...she has just learned to do this over the past week or so. I also wanted to post this video because this is what she does every time she eats...The following is a result of her wild eating habits;) The tapping you hear is her feet going crazy against the table.

I was going in to give her a bite of her peas and she starting swinging her arms I think because she was excited, and her peas ended up on her forehead.

The Vols!!

Here is our little Volunteer!! Unfortunately the vols aren't looking too good this year. We might be better off putting Sydney in her Roll Tide colors for football! When basketball season rolls around though, there is only one color for her!! ORANGE! Thanks Katie for these sweet pics.
