Costume Party



Hollis' friends Clara and Jack hosted a very fun costume party today. Hollis went as a 'garden fairy' and looked amazingly cute.

The Clapper

During football games I've been showing Hollis how to clap. (Recently, there has been a lot to clap for!) She's never done it on her own until this morning in her highchair she began applauding her breakfast.

Pink Chair














































A friend gave Hollis a pink reading chair before she was born. I let her play on and around it today, and it was a hit! Anything is a hit when she gets to chew on her sparkly toothbrush also.

Hollis loves Koa




Hollis has loved Koa since she first laid eyes on her (at like 3 months old)...recently she has taken an even greater liking to her, because now she can actually get to Koa on her own. I'm not sure if Koa loves Hollis as much as Hollis loves Koa. Hollis will approach Koa, the dog's tail will wag, she will let Hollis hit her in the face a few times, Koa will suddenly move, and Hollis will fall and hit her head on the floor. It happened a few times like that tonight, and it will be nice when Hollis and Koa both understand the word "gentle".


Honey's New Trick

Thanks Sierra!


Hollis' friend Sierra gave her some new cool, purple boots. They are a little big at the moment, but that didn't stop us trying them on and modeling them. Thanks Sierra!

Happy Fall!


I love fall. Here are my favorite things:
1) Spiced cider and mulling spices simmering on the stove
2) Cooler temperatures so that you have to wear a cozy sweater or sweatshirt
3) Crazy weather that makes you stay inside or bundling up to enjoy it outside
4) Pumpkin patches 
5) Football

Here is my recent fall project made with my best friend Sarah. I adore white pumpkins!
