Lemos Farm Fall Outing

Written by mrsleahdavis on October 15, 2009

Suddenly it seems there are pumpkins everywhere. I'm rather in denial that we're only two weeks away from November. Still, I jumped at the chance to get out of the house last week and visit this cute "farm" in Half Moon Bay.

Lyla had fun petting the goats:

Hands up, Lady!

She's very close to sitting up by herself these days - she practiced on this bucking bronco (green and plastic as he is).

But the best part was the pumpkins - all shapes, sizes, and colors. Lyla doesn't discriminate - she wanted to gnaw on all of them!

She's Got Hair!

Well, thanks to this sun visor from Granddad, that is.

New favorite activity = scrunching nose

Sometimes cute, sometimes scary

Playing in the Mirror

Now that Lyla doesn't despise lying on her stomach, she's having a lot more fun making faces at herself in the mirror. I hope I'm not teaching her to be too vain :)

So, somehow I taught Lyla how to blow bubbles. I think it is hilarious, but Jared thinks it's gross/inappropriate. Lucky for him, this was only a fad that lasted a few days. Good thing I got it on video!

Eating

We've tried a few foods with Lyla now. So far she liked carrots and sweet potato the best. She's not crazy about papaya:

She wasn't crazy about avocado either, sadly, but she's sure crazy about her papa!

Look what I found this morning!

Lyla has sprouted a tooth! It's a bit hard to see, but it's there, in all its jagged, gum-cutting, mama-biting glory :)

She has changed so much in the past week. She started rolling over like a maniac, front to back and back to front. (She's been sort of toying with rolling front to back for about a month now, but not very excited about it until a few days ago). I've even found her in her crib sleeping on her side and on her stomach. She's also started eating "real food" - video post of that to come soon!

This morning when I discovered the tooth, I felt oddly proud (although I know she didn't "do" anything to get it), excited, but also sad. She's just not a little baby any more! I can't believe how fast it's going, and it's only been five months. I guess it's true what everyone says - they grow up so fast. I feel so old saying that.
