Tova: tried dissolvable mum-mum crackers this week and loved them, crawling more mostly to get to her brother or his toys, got her second tooth finally (top one that I've been able to see for 2 weeks), clapped for the first time, loves playing peek-a-boo (more if you say boo then if you say peek), first ponytail this week, she does the duck lips, lost her baby food appetite for a bit in the middle of the week probly due to teeth she only wanted to eat fruit and didn't finish it all, she loves her puffs and kicks, smiles, & screeches when I shake the container



Monday was back to school; Al was supposed to have off but had a meeting at 5-8p. :( bedtime is the hardest time especially to do alone so I was not happy with his work. it was windy and a little chilly but we finally got to see the sun!! the kids and I played in the backyard for a bit once we got trevor from school. then supper, nap for tova, play, baths, supper baby food for tova, and bed.

we finally had some decent fall days this week even though they were windy. so we had lots of outside time with leaves, parks, walks, bikes, and swinging in the backyard.

Thursday we tried the new, small park we have near our house with jenny, kourtlyn, and klare. Al had Thursday off because he had training on Friday 8a-3p then had to work afterwards til 530p to make up hours. Thursday during school/nap, Al and I bagged up all our leaves from the front yard and fenced in backyard (like 12 bags).

Friday morning, we went to one of the newer parks near our house again with jenny and 2 of her girls. it was really windy and a little wet, but we had fun. we went for a walk in the afternoon.

Saturday morning, mom came down and it was cold out so I got a lot of things done inside the house. trevor, mom and I went for a short walk/bike ride and played at the park for a bit but didn't last long due to the cold.

sunday, Al and grandpa peter got our new front door in! it was much needed! it took a long time and it was chilly in the morning. it didn't get all the way done but enough. I also got the indoor window trims final paint coat on finally! one of Tova's top teeth FINALLY popped through and she clapped for the first time! mom, the kids and I went for a walk and it was nice out! mom left after lunch and once tova was up from her nap, we all went out back to pick up and bag leaves again. we tried tova in the hiking back pack carrier and she liked it! we played in the leaves a bit and trevor ran a lot! :) then we came in for tova's nap, supper, cleaning, and baths for the kids before bed.
