"Too Hot to Handle, Too Cold to Hold"

...They're called the Ghostbusters and they're in control...

It was a spooky, busy and fantastic October. The fun has not slowed down in the Smith household and felt like it has sped up over the last couple of weeks. We have been trying to spend as much time outside while we can before the snow arrives and hinders our adventures. We have been truly blessed with a beautiful fall this year so we shouldn't complain when it starts to get a lot colder and snow begins to fall. 

In order to celebrate this beautiful weather Bailey and I were able to go up to Logan for the day and spend it with my sister McKenna and her family. We had a picnic at the park and went to the Annual Pumpkin Walk. It was fantastic! Each "booth" was created using pumpkins and ranged from Princess Bride to Mario Bros, to Muppet's to Pixar and even a MASH booth. They were amazing and we all had tons of fun. 

Bailey's favorite word over the last couple of weeks has been "walk." She wants to walk everywhere which is great; although she never has a sense of urgency while walking. Normally this is fine unless you have somewhere to be. She is also really good and making her body go limp and/or falling to the ground if you try to pick her up and hurry her along. It's super fun when she does that. (Did you catch the sarcasm) :) Ha! 

We also took her to Wheeler Farm for the obligatory pumpkin patch picture and said hello to some animals as well. Bailey does pretty well with animals and their names, however on this trip she kept calling the cow a puppy. We were able to straighten that out this past weekend while we were in Idaho Falls saying a quick hello to my parents. She now says "Goodbye Cow" - over and over and over. This happened after visiting Reed's dairy and saying hello and obviously goodbye to the cows. 

"Uh, mom - is that supposed to be Father Francis..." Not creepy at all. 

Yeah we make this look good!

Bailey is talking all the time and saying short sentences. It's amazing and I love it. Most of the time I can understand what she is saying and wants. We had a fabulous Halloween and I was pretty excited about Bailey's costume this year. She dressed up as Holly Golightly (or Bailey Golightly as I called her) from Breakfast at Tiffany's. I wanted to go with her costume so I dressed up as "the cat". It was highly enjoyable and she definitely pulled it off. She looked ridiculously fabulous.

Climbing adventures continue...

Hopefully things will be a little more mellow before the arrival of Thanksgiving and Bailey's second birthday. How is she 2?! Keep on adventuring and have a great November.
