Halloween

Jorja was a pretty good sport for getting all dressed up in this cute puppy outfit for Halloween night. Obviously when they are this little the only fun is really for the grownups, so we traipsed her around to all the grandparents! We wouldn't have minded making more stops, but Jorja would! She still hates her car seat. And the more she's in it, the fussier she gets! Josh and I got some good candy and treats out of it, though!

Pumpkin Carving

We had fun carving pumpkins again this year with Jynell...although we got it in just under the radar! :) We set up our table in the living room so that we would not have to miss any of the World Series.


Josh even got out his drill at one point in the carving. I think he only used it for the toes in the footprint.



And Jorja just had fun roaming around the room and under the table where we were carving away!

Here was the end result -- Josh's, mine and Jynell's


This one didn't come out real good. Josh carved "STINK" in the bottom which is Jorja's nickname and then of course, her footprints.

I cheated with a printout of a face and Jynell was cheering on our team. Poor Phillies! :(

And then Jorja had tons of fun playing with the pumkins...

And then trying to get a little posing action which is pretty much impossible with a nine month old.

Six Months Old!

It's hard to believe that Jorja is six months old today! How time flies! We're just having so much fun watching her grow and develop. She's rolling over, sitting up by herself, drinking from a sippy cup, eating rice cereal and talking, talking, talking! :) I'm always telling her that she's going to be a talker like her daddy!

Laughter

There's nothing like the laughter from a child. And our little Jorja is no exception to us! Nighttime seems to be the best time to get her rolling and Josh and I have tons of fun doing whatever it takes to make her laugh.

This video is from a couple of months ago, though, when she just started to laugh out loud! Josh had the camera on video mode capturing me making a fool of myself to make Jorja laugh. Thankfully, he didn't get me in it. Unfortunately, it must have been pretty dark in the living room, because the quality is very poor, to say the least. But the most important thing is that you can hear Jorja's sweet, sweet laughter. Click here to see the video.
