9 Months

I can't believe it has already been 9 months!  Jiles weighs just over 19 lbs.  She's walking along the furniture and can stand unassisted for about 5 seconds before she falls.  We have free access to lifetime fitness while staying at the hotel and she is getting more and more used to the childcare center there.  I was getting paged a lot in the beginning, but now I can get a full hour in.  It's been great for both of us!  Here are some pics from last week....

Jiles and I went to the Children's museum with Katie and the boys.  Thanks to Katie for the invite and free guest pass.  Jiles loved the padded play area!

Brodie!
Kyle, Bre and Brodie came over while we were back in Bloomington last weekend!  Jiles is 6 weeks older than Brodie and it is so cute to watch them interact.  They were both sporting their hip jumpsuits!

Playing with the blocks
Instant friends!
Brodie loved the jumparoo!


The Twins - Cameron and Owen!
We are so lucky to have Katie and the twins close to our hotel.  It's been great catching up with my old roommate and spending time with the boys.  I can't believe they are already two years old.  They are getting so big!    
Cameron was still upset that he had to share his
highchair with Jiles earlier.
I love Owen's concerned face.
Cameron was not happy that we were taking pics
during his meltdown.
Cheerios provided a second photo opportunity!
Cameron was still keeping an eye on Jiles though, HA!

Halloween!

Pumpkin Festival - Noblesville, IN
We went to the pumpkin festival on Saturday.  Jiles had fun petting the animals and watching all the other kids.  She went on her first hayride and helped pick out her first pumpkin!









Halloween!
We started the day off by helping Great G-Ma read her stories to the folks at the Westfield nursing home.  They loved Jiles' pumpkin costume.  She was in full character laughing and waiving at everyone.  My brother and I helped my Grandma do this when we were little so it was extra special to have Jiles there.  Next, Great G-Ma took us to breakfast!  That evening we went to Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood for a little trick-or-treating (3 houses).
