Lilli at 5 months

Everyone thinks their baby is the best at stuff. Since I don't have a baby, I get to brag and fawn over my niece. I think she's ADORABLE. A lot of people think she's a boy, which just makes me love her more because everyone used to think I looked like a boy when I was a baby! Here are some milestones she's accomplished that make me a proud aunt:

She is really active! She can crawl (the average age for crawling is 8 months).

She can "walk" around in her jumper.

She can almost pull-to-stand (she can pull up, but usually falls over within a few seconds). However, if positioned near furniture, she can hold on and stand up (average age for pull-to-stand is 10 mos).

She loves going on walks, and swinging, and bath time!

All the girls dressed up for church:

Lilli, you are very loved by your Auntie Kim!

October

I love the first few days of Fall. The cooler weather is a pleasant relief from the heat of summer, literally like a breath of fresh air. I love Fall colors, and Fall scents, and Fall foods. There's something exciting about the changing of seasons and the promise of something new to come.

Yesterday I went on an early morning Fall run in my Mizunos - and it was perfect. :)
