The Past Two Months

Hooray! The hardest part of the year is over! Volleyball season is officially over. My team finished with a respectable .500 record. But more importantly, I don't have to put in the (with commute) 15 hour days anymore. To celebrate, Jolie and I are heading over to Linvilla Orchards this week with some friends to pick some apples. Look forward to a post this week!

Over the past two months, despite the exhausting schedule, we've managed to squeeze in some fun and some milestones. First, Jolie has become a bonified Philly sports fan. She made it to two Phillies games this year (and lucky daddy has already been to two Phillies PLAYOFF games), and has worn her Eagles gear every Sunday.




Jolie has developed a sweet tooth. Really, it's more of an "anything you're eating" tooth. She's like a dog in that respect- she follows you around or climbs your leg trying to get at whatever you're eating. Daddy and Jolie shared MANY a popsicle this summer. Jolie also carries her toys around in her mouth as she crawls. It's quite funny.




Jolie is sweet as can be, of course. She has learned how to wave hello and goodbye, give kisses, to play hide and go seek, and coast around the furniture. She is also fascinated by other babies. Thank goodness, too, because it would be hard to bring Baby Dampf #2 home to a jealous girl. Here is a series of pictures of her finding "another" baby. I love my little Narcissus!







Yesterday, in the first celebration of the end of volleyball, Matt and I went to None Such Farms in Buckingham, PA, to pick out our pumpkins. I think the process was a bit overwhelming for our tired little girl, but by the end of our search for the perfect pumpkins, Jolie started to have some fun. We got three pumpkins, each proportionate to our heights. After the pumpkin patch, we meandered over to the farm's store and picked up some yummy, fresh apple sauce.



All in all, the past two months haven't been so bad, thanks to the little munchkin and her great daddy. We've had some great times!
