Hangin' with Grandpa

Kensie spent some quality time with Grandpa today. The highlight of the afternoon was watching the Michigan vs. Penn State game. One time she burst into tears when Grandpa yelled at the TV! From then on, Grandpa only made "happy" outbursts. It is a lot easier to do that when Michigan is winning... finally!

Pumpkin Picking!

Today we went to buy pumpkins for Halloween! We got a big one, a medium one, and a baby one. One for each member of Team Meyers. It was a brisk 50 degrees, so Kensie was bundled up for the event. We took her in the Bjorn so she was free to look around and touch the pumpkins. Here is Kensie pictured with her baby punkin...
Here Kensie is saying, "Oooh!" at the pretty orange pumpkins!

How do you like those little ears on her hood?

Trying out the chair

After bath time tonight I decided to test out the high chair that has been sitting in our dining room for 3 months collecting dust. Kensie is still too little to use it, but managed to pose for a few shots before demanding her dinner...

Priceless


Jeans day!


Today Kensie wore her fancy jeans for the first time. Not sure if she likes them very much, seeing as she decided to spit up all over herself after I took a few pictures. But then again, it could have been all the jostling around I do with her when I get into picture mode!


By the way, these jeans are from our friend Kenza, in Paris. They are sized for a 6 month old baby! But, they seem to fit Kensie just fine. Darn those skinny Parisians!

Visit from Auntie Keri!

This weekend my dear friend Keri came to visit and meet Kensie. We kept things low key, which was fine with me... since I am still fighting a nasty cold. We did manage to stay up past midnight both Friday and Saturday night, playing Dominos, Wii, and watching Tivo'd episodes of Grey's Anatomy and House. We spent the days shopping mostly.
We visited the outlet malls, and found great deals on baby clothes, including the cute cream with roses jumper pictured to the left. It was my first trip to a Children's Place and I was pleasantly surprised. Very good deals and cute clothes! I was able to stock up on tights for Kensie, so she will be able to wear all the cute dresses I have been collecting for her to wear once the weather gets a little colder and she makes it into the 3-6 month old size range.

We also went to Janie & Jack, which is a favorite of Keri's when getting things for her son Vaughn. That store is not exactly a place to find a deal, but the clothes are absolutely precious! I found a beautiful sweater and onsie for Kensie there. I can't wait for sweater weather! But, for the time being, the weather has been really nice in Connecticut. Keri got to see the best of early fall... the leaves are just starting to change, the sun still shines brightly, and the temp was a balmy 60-70 during the day.
