Fall Pictures
We of course had to play in the leaves after they were all raked up.
Genevieve liked the bunnies at the state fair.

Movies for the Grandparents - Balloon
We brought this balloon home after attending a BBQ. It was a big hit with Genevieve. I've never seen her get so annimated about any other toy or object. Sorry the movie is sideways....but its still cute.

Long Naps - Friend or Foe?
Why is it that my darling daughter always knows when I have plans? I know she loves leaving the house and being able to see new things and people, yet whenever I plan to get together with friends, that is when she decides to put a wrench in her daily schedule that I have tried so hard to work around.
Up until now, my babe has usually only taken naps that last 20-30 minutes. She even sneaks in quite a few 10 minute ones just to keep me from thinking I may be able to get something done while she is asleep. I've finally got used to her short nap habit, so when I put her down an hour or so before I plan to leave the house, I assume that she will be up well before we need to go.
However, because I've got used to this schedule it means it must be time to shake things up a bit. Today I was an hour late for a play-date (obviously more for my social well-being than hers at this stage in her life), because she decided to take a two hour nap this morning. Usually I would be singing hallelujah, but instead I was checking my watch every five minutes. And this is not the first time an unexpected long nap has interfered with a friend get-together.
I know that I could just wake her up and head out, but I didn't have the heart (and lets face it, I did not want a cross baby on my hands as previous experience has taught me is the result of waking my sleeping beauty before she's ready). This meant that not only was I late, but I also did not get to fully enjoy the "mom time" that nap time brings.
But hey, Genevieve clearly loves to be spontaneous and I get to just go with the flow right.
