Fall is here alright! This is my favorite season but yet sadly seems like one of the shortest. Life continues to keep us hopping here at the Stewart home. I took a few weeks off this past summer to soak up some time with Capri. We had fun exploring a few new venues. We got out and walked a bit, played at the park, visited the zoo, played at the lake and otherwise enjoyed some inside play and snuggle time. We had a few weddings between the end of August and the middle of October of which one involved the "L2 5k" (L2 = Lysandra & Luke) race the day before the wedding. Ryan, Capri and I all participated in the event. Capri even decided to run/walk part of it on the way back! We went to the pumpkin patch for the first time with Capri a couple weekends ago and picked out a pumpkin for the porch. She seemed to enjoy walking around in the patch and taking photos with her friend Kennedy and their pumpkins.
We just returned from a trip to New Orleans for her uncle Jarrett and aunt Misha's wedding. It was a fun trip and a really nice wedding. The wedding was Capri's debut as a flower girl. She did great. The boys (Misha's nephews) put teddy grahams in their pockets just in case she decided not to cooperate down the aisle but she did! She was quite the little entertainer that evening. She started the dancing, tired herself out after a bit, so she decided to put her blanket down in the middle of the dance floor and lay down for a minute or two. Just when Ryan was heading over to peel her off the floor, she popped her head up and it started bobbing to the music. Slowly she sat up and then got back up on her feet and kept on dancing. She had quite a crowd circled around her just watching for a good 10 minutes or so...and it was at that moment we realized she seemed to enjoy the audience.
I must say I was a little anxious prior to the trip given the flight times with Capri. It was a long day on the way there and a longer day on the way back (first flight 1.5 hrs and the second 5 hrs) and I'm pleased to announce it was a success! Capri was just about as close to an angel baby as you could get on the flights.
Just in the last week, Capri has been saying so many more words, mimicking us so much and her little personality is coming alive like crazy. Ryan and I are laughing several times a day because she just cracks us up with her little voice, words, and we are always amazed at how much she understands. We are truly lucky to have this little character in our lives.
A little break from dancing...
