11 Months Old

I can hardly believe it! It's all happening way too fast. We had a wonderful day. It was cool and sunny and we were out of the house almost the whole day. I finally understand what it means as a mom to get out of the house. No dirty floors, bills, dishes, and laundry staring you in the face. Nothing but pure fun out and about today and for good reason, our pumpkin is 11 months old!

We spent most of the afternoon at the park with my friend Christine and her son, Charlie.
Magnolia and I went down that huge slide!

It was so fast it shot us out and I landed right on my rear end! We met daddy out for lunch at a dive he loves with New Orleans style food. Magnolia had red beans and rice and loved it.

We celebrated Harvest Moon tonight and ate our mooncakes.
Magnolia gobbled them up like she's been eating them her whole life. Makes me wonder if her birthmother ate them last Harvest Moon, right before Magnolia was born.

She was pretty wild in these pictures, charming us to no end with all of her silly antics. We took her out for an evening drive to view the moon and calm her down!
