A trip to the apple orchard

We have taken more cute pictures so we figured we'd share. Cassidy is beginning to like the Bumbo seat a little bit more. She looks very into her television program here.
Every year we go to a wonderful apple orchard and pumpkin farm in a small town a few miles from us called Jonomac Orchard. It's a great place and we were so excited to introduce Cassidy to a family tradition. We had great plans to have Brian carry her in the baby Bjorn, but go figure we forgot a hat and it was very sunny out. We decided to brave the grass with the stroller and it worked out just fine especially since she really wanted to sleep. We were able to find a Cassidy sized apple and she even woke up for one picture with it.
Brian is studying the apple orchard picking chart so we knew which apples were good for baking and which for snacking. He enjoys making homemade applesauce and it is yummy. We'll be serving some at Cassidy's baptism for any of you reading this that will be coming.
Here I am with Cassidy and our half peck of picked apples. I'm thinking next year she'll enjoy this family tradition a little bit more.
After a particularly crabby day (Cassidy's not ours) Cassidy did decide to have a better evening. She even laid in her crib and just relaxed for awhile. We had fun getting her to smile and it's nice to see she can enjoy laying in her crib and entertaining herself. She keeps lifting up her hips trying to figure out how to roll over. We think it's a long time coming, but it doesn't stop her from trying. She absolutely does not like being still Notice the receding hairline on our precious baby. Perhaps someday she'll get her hair back and if not, well we probably don't have to worry too much about boys coming around (hmmm this might not be bad).
Finally Cassidy has done something that looks like her mom. She has taken to sucking her thumb and occasionally her thumb and first finger (that's what I sucked as a child) while rubbing her hair. We believe she will be a thumb sucker and hair twirler just like me. It's absolutely adorable to see her find her thumb, suck it and rub her hair.

We hope you enjoyed the picture update and we'll have more after the Baptism on Sunday, it's Cassidy's big party. Let's cross our fingers she has a good day and gets enough sleep the night before.
