Holt Family Farms Pumpkin Patch & Halloween

Melynn was a cow this year & really had no desire to wear her costume. I felt like an awful mother trying to stuff her into this thing while she kicked & screamed "no mommy" so with that being said unless she has a change of heart next year she'll be some sort of fairy or princess....something that doesnt require a suit. She would say "Trick or Treat" just not to anyone else but had a good time walking around outside & enjoyed giving candy to the other children. I'm already looking forward to next year.

We also visited the Holt Family Farms in Dresden, TN with Aunt D & had a blast on our hayride picking out our pumpkins & visiting with the animals.  Melynn as always was more interested in seeing the animals but was very protective of her pumpies ( pumpkins in Melynn speak)

                                    Here's a few pics of Melynn with Pawpaw & Memaw..

Melynn is 20mths old!

Melynn is now 20 mths old...its very bittersweet on my end to see her growing so fast. She's a parrot when it comes to speaking. She will repeat most things you ask her too albeit most in her own little way. She can tell you her name, but leaves out the Melynn part...just Charyette BOLES! She accentuates the Boles part...She will sing for a while or do the movements to her childrens songs.
Climbing is very much apart of her life even if she shouldn't be climbing up on something.....she's very busy as her Nana Deb would put it..I call it crazy...or into everything and I mean EVERYTHING! Chick never stops...I'm gonna start calling her the Energizer Bunny. Shes entertaining to say the least & is the best part of our lives. Check her out...her hairs growing as is her cute little budha belly, and she gets taller by the day. Love to you all!

Melynn lost her Papaw this past September. He loved to ask her "Where is Skip?" and she would look around & then whine to go outside & see the horses. He hoped one day she would share his love of riding & become his farm girl. He is sorely missed by us all.

                                            This one was taken at Andy's Birthday cookout. He was teaching her how to dip the horses legs in the icing.

This was the 4th of July...I love the way he's looking at her.

18mth Melynn

More pictures as promised!

Way behind!

I apologize for the long period in between posts about Melynn.  She is now 18mths old & what I like to call a tornado....or other people say "she's very busy" however you wanna call it she's into everything! Melynn talks a whole lot whether it be babbling in her own little language, telling us "NO!" alot, or learning new words she's definitely letting us know her opinion on things. She had her 18mth check up last week & is on track for her weight & exceeds in her height..which gives me piece of mind bc I'm tired of people calling her stocky. She obviously didn't like the shots so I'm afraid this last visit will be remembered...therefore Daddy takes her next time!
Here are some pictures from this summer.

( having some technical difficulty with my other pictures, I will post some more later on)

4th of July

This year we were more excited bc Melynn would have more of an idea of what was going on instead of being asleep....and while we fought to keep her awake & cool ( see the hot mess she became) We enjoyed another 4th of July with our baby girl.

 

Told you.....hot mess!
