September catch-up

Fall is here and I'm not sure where September has gone, but here are some pictures of the past month.

2 weekends ago we headed south to Richmond for a wedding followed by a quick trip to VA Beach for the airshow. Victoria stopped by before we left and surprised Isabel with this Virginia Tech tutu. Isabel was so excited and has loved dancing and twirling around the house in it. I think it compliments the jersey quite well :). She also brought a VT bow for Mia, which I need to fashion to a headband and will look a little better than my homemade one.

I'll have to leave the airshow pictures up to Geoffrey. Isabel spent most of the day with Geoffrey and Grandpa Buescher at the airshow, while Mia and I hung out at home with Grandma Buescher. We all had a great time but agree the trip was too short.

A few days later Grandma and Grandpa Schaeffer flew into town. I didn't take many pictures, but did get a few of the girls doing some fun things after watching the game on Saturday.

Mia really enjoys watching the pugs and this was one of her first chances she has had to snuggle with Gizmo (who seems to be her favorite). She loved getting to sit with him, wack him and pet him.

Isabel enjoyed her first taste of kettle corn at the St. Mark Fall Festival on Sunday. She was not a fan of the cotton candy that I tried to give her as a special treat. Oh well, that just meant I got to eat it all :).

Isabel enjoys mimicking mommy, as I am often pushing on of the girls in the stroller and wearing the other in the Ergo.

Monday we spent most of the day in the playroom, as it was very rainy. Mia was playing on the floor when Isabel decided to snuggle with her...and then asked if I could take a picture of her with Mia. I took quite a few and got a few winners.

Isabel is loving life as a panda bear (her new classroom) and is taking dance class there on Tuesday which she seems to be enjoying. Mia is getting used to her new classroom, but doesn't seem to have an interest in sleeping there. Mia has her first tooth and is working on a second. She also has crawled in short spurts and can go from laying on her belly to sitting up all by herself. I've begun the task of baby proofing Isabel's toys (moving all the small, choking hazards to tubs out of Isabel's reach that will only be done with supervision), since it won't be long before Mia is into everything.

It's Hokie Season

My babies are getting big! Carla snapped these great pictures of the girls over the weekend at a couple different pre-football game events. Although the hokies didn't win on Monday, these pictures have helped to lessen the blow :).

Normally, I am not a fan of bows...but Monday Mia just looked too much like a boy in her VT romper, so I made up a VT bow for her. I think it will be making an appearance for all the games.

And here is Isabel, looking quite grown up, driving her golf cart a neighbor passed onto us.

Time seems to be flying. Mia started to school with Isabel Monday and it is nice to have them both in one place. Isabel is now a Panda Bear and Mia is a Junior Infant. The girls are doing well and both are thriving. Isabel continues to be a little chatterbox and is constantly asking questions. Mia is sitting up for longer periods of time and is already getting up on her hands and knees and trying to move forward. She had her 6mo appt this past Wednesday and measured at 27"...which is the 90th percentile. Another tall Buescher girl!
