standing and laughing

So here she is standing with the help of a chair, and having a grand time playing with the cat and with Daddy.

Nature Walk

Today was a rare day of fun. Tara had the day off, and Scott was caught up with work, so we slept in, and then went to Middlesex Fells nature reserve for some hiking. We didn't go very far, but the weather was crisp and sunny, we were warm and cozy in our coats, and we had a great time showing Audrey the fall colors as we walked through the trees. Our trail climbed a tree-covered hill and ended at an observation tower, where we had a great view of the surrounding area, including downtown Boston. We've been very busy lately, but we were extremely grateful to have such a refreshing day outside.

Talking with Mommy

And Audrey's first word is ... Da-Da!!! Of course, she doesn't know what it means yet.
