Autumn has arrived.

Like so many other people, Fall is my favorite time of year. I start getting out all my sweaters, order my Starbucks hot, and don't get odd looks when I wear a scarf. The leaves change, the air gets crisp, and the pumpkins grow. Yep, autumn is my favorite. 

Our little pumpkin is growing too. She's getting longer by the day and she's super active. She doesn't crawl yet, just scoots and rolls, but she's ever so close to crawling. She can get herself up on all fours and she can move her legs as though she wants to crawl, but she hasn't quite gotten the arm movements down yet. Instead she gets in the right position and rocks back n' forth. 

Her curiosity is growing each day too. She is very interested in Lucky and his fur. I figure the different textures is what she likes. Lucky is pretty amazing with her too. He is very good with her -better than we ever thought he'd be. He lets her "pet" him, pull his ears, and stuck fingers in his mouth and nose. It's cute to see. 

Just two more weeks before she's six-months-old. Where has the time gone? From spring to summer and now fall. 

Five Months Already ... Crazy.

Eleanor Anetta Smith is 5-months-old. 5 months in this world and she's already learned so much. 

She knows if she cries one way she'll be held and if she cries another way she'll get milk. She knows her hands can help push her over or grab her favorite toy or help get her toes into her mouth. She knows her name is Eleanor. She knows her mama and her daddy and shes starting to know some of her grandparents. 

She is amazing, our little love bug, and watching her curiosity grow and her discovery of the world makes us so incredibly happy. Before we know it she'll be all grown up and watching her own children ... now there's a thought that makes a mommy emotional.
