More of October

 Nana and Papa reading a goodbye story to Eliana right before they head home
 Papa, what are those words coming out of your mouth? So interesting!

 Bye Bye Nana and Papa! We will miss you so much! Thanks so much for all your help unpacking, cooking, and cleaning!
 Ellie is loving her telephone lately...Mainly eating it, but whatever works...
 Eliana has been gravitating towards the door and shelf here.
 Interesting seeing my jumperoo from the outside. I love to touch the purple seahorse.
 What?
 Eating some oatmeal for my 9 month birthday!
 This has been my favorite toy lately; also from Auntie Cristin. Thanks for all my toys!
 Here I am with "OH" face again. It is so fun to make!
 This cute smile keeps me outta trouble:)
 Hi Mommy! It is so fun to watch you dance to the music, and to dance in Daddy's lap!
 On the move...

 Here is that silly face again...
 And again...
 Playing on my Dino from Auntie Cristin
 Happy Halloween!!


 I had to make the face while in my costume.

 This toy has been catching my eye lately. I think it supposed to help me walk, but for now, I like to flip it back and forth with my hands.
 Happy Fall!!  These are some pretty trees in our yard
 We only had two groups of trick or treaters. I was in bed already anyway, but Mom and Dad sure did have a lot of candy to eat!
 Skyping with my Grandma and grandpa LeBlanc, and Uncle Mike
 A few crawl moves on the knees, and up off my belly.
 Can I help you?

 And, the face again...
 One of my favorite things to do lately is to play with shoes. Don't you know my mom loves this:)
 Our backyard is full of leaves. Fun to see the seasons!
 In the zone. On a walk with Mom, and she stopped to take my pic in the park across from our house. She couldn't believe how many leaves were there.
 Going for a run with Dad and Mom.

 Our driveway after church
 I just didn't really feel like posing. The driveway is fascinating.
 Morning Mommy. Daddy was out of town again, and I got to get in bed with Mom in the morning. I think I made it by myself until about 4 am or so though.
 OH!! Eliana really doesn't seem to like her jumperoo as much anymore. I guess maybe she feels confined now that she can move around on her own.
 Stopping for lunch in a new park Mom found
 Of course I fell asleep just before we got home. Mom thought I would wake up if we went inside, so we hung out in the driveway.
 I LOVE the remote!
 Up on all fours, and there is that fun baby again!
 Ooooh, I found a drawer. Eliana has been opening her dresser in her room lately, and I guess now she has found this one too.
 Good morning! Another morning pic when Dad was out of town. Mom couldn't believe how much I looked like some of my Dad's baby pics here.


 Eliana absolutely loves seeing her face! I turned my iphone to reverse camera, and boy did she have a good time laughing and smiling at the baby!
So, what else is going on around 9 months? Let's see, I sat up from laying down twice, but then I seemed to forget that I could do it. I am really liking to stand, and I will often plank my legs (as mom and dad call it) if they try to sit me down. I crawled a little on my knees backwards, but I mainly just get up on my knees, and go back to my belly when I want to move. I am doing my army crawl more, and going further exploring. So many fun things to see! I have been saying a pronounced Mama. It is really fun to say!
