What a great summer we had this year! It's hard to believe Fall is already here. We've been keeping busy and Rose has been growing and changing every single day. She started going to daycare a couple days a week and has been enjoying that new adventure. She seems to really enjoy it. We just need to work on more consistent naps. She is not a happy camper when she gets overtired and has started whining a bit more.

She is now putting 3-4 words together like, "ride in the car", Mama's coming, "pet the doggie" etc.
She can even sing some of the alphabet song, twinkle twinkle little star, and the itsy bitsy spider.
Yesterday, we caught her reading one of her books to herself out loud. It was so cute!

She still loves to be outside. She loves going for walks, playing at the park and running around the backyard. It's going to be tough when the weather takes a turn.

She is really starting to play more independently, as she'll put things in her doll house and toy bus and then take them out, stack her blocks, thumb through books. Her interest in the Dolphin Tale movie seems to be fading a little. Her interest with her bear blanket is growing. Her and bear are best friends. She takes him everywhere!

We've noticed a new phase of fear that appeared recently. We have a plastic jack o lantern out for Halloween and some Peanuts characters and she does not like them. I had to put them away for now. Everytime she looked over at them she would squeeze me and call for bear to come to the rescue!
Rose is up to 12 teeth already! She has gone through a rougher teething patch with some molars coming in. She's having fun brushing her teeth now, and of course she has to brush bear's teeth too.
Here are a couple pictures of Rose and Molly on the lake. We had a great time visiting and enjoyed a boat ride together. When I ask Rose what she's done during any given day, she still often replies "boat ride with Molly." It must have made one nice impression :)
