Several weeks ago Becca and I talked about saying bye-bye to her bottle nipple. I got the calendar and let Becca choose and circle the date – Becca chose November 4th. We had a little ceremony and Becca did a great job throwing her bottle nipple away (in the photo above she’s kissing it goodbye). She still drinks her morning and evening milk – now from a cup (not as enjoyable as her bottle).

In October Becca received a “party” dress from her Uncle Jon and Aunt Ashleigh. I was surprised how much she enjoyed wearing it, so I got out my party dress and we had a lovely tea party. And as everybody knows, tea parties always include dancing! (Let me add that all our tea party pictures were taken by me – I’m pretty pleased with our action dancing shots.)

A few other random shots: 1) Our garden – Josh pulled up most of our summer crops and planted lettuce. 2) Tent time with popcorn. 3) Becca’s birthday countdown calendar. Each day she gets to remove a sticker for a special birthday treat.
