>Thumbsucker!
October 19th, 2008 by Aubri
Well, it looks like we have a thumbsucker on our hands. We were at Chipotle yesterday when we discovered this. I caught her at it again this morning!
While it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and I’m very happy that Lily can soothe herself without help from Mama or Daddy holding a pacifier in her mouth, I’m a little concerned about how you take away a thumb once it’s time for her to stop! Though, she’s sleeping through the night now, a straight 12 hours, so if it’s the thumb that’s doing the trick, I’m not interested in stopping it anytime soon.
Lily also has found a friend in the ceiling fan in our bedroom. I laid down to see what could make her get this excited, but I’m at a loss. I’m just happy to have found one more thing she can amuse herself with. Apparently it doesn’t take much.

Lily received a hand embroidered Feltman Bros. dress from aunt Sylvia! A classic must have for all little southern girls wardrobes. Though Lily was born in the Midwest, she insists on being dressed in the clothing of her Dixie heritage. She was so overjoyed to be dressed in such finery she passed out on the changing table before church this morning.>Apples!

It’s finally Fall, my favorite time of the year! We’ve been enjoying some beautiful days in Bancroft. We know that mean Old Man Winter is waiting just around the corner, but for now, it’s perfect. We were in the 30s this morning but will warm up into the 70s by the afternoon so out we go to soak it in while we still have time.
The corn has turned from bright green to gold and now to brown. It’s ready for harvesting.
I was really wanting to get some pumpkins. We went to a pumpkin patch on Sunday night and bought a couple. When we got home someone, we still don’t know who, had placed these in our driveway. Now I’ve got gourds galore!
