Another great day with Alexa's aunt & cousins!

We had a great day today! Alexa got all dolled up and we went for a walk to downtown Bethesda. The weather was fabulous and we had a good lunch and spent some time shopping!

Later that night, Alexa put on her new Yankees World Champion tee shirt to hang out with her cousins!

A perfect ending to a busy but fabulous day

Today started off great. We slept in! Alexa and I did, at least. Daddy had to go to work. Then we went to the Zoo to meet up with some other moms I know from my prenatal yoga class. We saw elephants and lots of other critters...

On the way back, Alexa and I stopped in Rock Creek Park for a diaper change...

Then after a nasty spat of howling, she finally fell asleep. Here is the view I have of her in the back seat. (Taken while parked.)

Upon returning home, I got several packages! Her birth announcements have arrived! Then Aunt Chimmy came over, followed by Daddy's friend Billy, who both got a sneak peek at her birth announcement!

Then Mommy went out to a RESTAURANT for a birthday dinner with Aunts Chimmy and Elizabeth! Yay! Girls night out! (Yes... I left Alexa home with Daddy, Billy and a bottle...)

We got home at the top if the 7th, just in time to see Mo clinch the Yankees' 27th World Series title! Daddy showed Alexa, who was thrilled.

A nice day for a walk...

And a Yankees victory!

Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!

Beautiful day today, so we headed out to Butler's Orchard in Maryland to check out their pumpkin patch! They had a whole field of activities for kids... Face painting, bales of hay to climb on, barns to explore, farm animals, slides, hay rides, and much more! A great place to take Alexa when she's a little older!

We walked around and walked through a cornstalk maze!

And got some apples!

Then we hit the pumpkin patch!

But it was midday and there was no shade... Alexa didn't like the sun and was hungry so we didn't stay long. But we picked out a pumpkin to carve! The funny thing is that our pumpkin weighed 23 pounds -- that's more than double Alexa's size!

After all the pumpkin fun, we tried a new organic restaurant in downtown Bethesda. Yum! We also took a walk down the Capitol Crescent Trail. What a great day.

We are now watching the Yankees game! Better get some hits...

Update: Look who fell asleep!

Go Yankees!

On Friday, we got our mojo on with ballpark franks for dinner. Thanks Daddy!

Alexa even got into the spirit, pulling out her Yankees onesie!

On Saturday, Papa Bean decided to pull out his jersey for luck. So Alexa dressed up again to watch the game with Daddy. How cute are they?!?!

As the game ran late... They both got tired. First Alexa yawned...

Then Daddy yawned...

But Alexa hit the sack first!

In the end, after 13 innings, the Yankees won! Yay!
