dani - oh, how I love the autumn weather.

Today my mom, brother tyler, the one NOT in jail, and I went to the pumpkin show in circleville (as seen on the Colbert Report). What should of been an hour drive ended up taking almost 2 hours because traffic was so backed up. It's never been that bad before.
We get there, and after paying a whopping ten dollars for parking we embarked on our quest for pumpkins goodies. I was mildly disappointed in the jewelry selection, every year I always manage to find an absolutely gorgeous bracelet. Not so much this year =[. This year I noticed a lot of the vendors were selling pumpkin burgers. Intriguing, but I wasn't about to spend five dollars I rightfully ganked from my mom on something that might be gross. So we settled on pumpkin bread, pumpkin taffy, pumpkin walnut fudge, pumpkin ice cream and my mom got a pumpkin pie while I indulged in a pumpkin pie latte.
I think we spent a good two hours browsing the booths and stocking up on sweets to take home before we headed home. We were planning on taking Adria but her dad never got back to me. I guess it's a good thing we didn't take her because she would of been less than amused with the amount of people and not being allowed to run around freely. Hopefully we'll be able to take her to boo at the zoo. Halloween is such an exciting time for me.

Miss Adria is, as previously stated, with her dad. We're in the makings of setting up a doctors appointment for her ears. She isn't getting ear infections nearly as much as she used to but she did just have one and it's better safe than sorry. Her dad also wants to get her speech checked out, see if her ears are what's causing her speech delay. That's one thing I'm not as concerned with, but I am curious to see what another doctor has to say about it. Her pediatrician asked if she was attempting to talk and if we were able to communicate with her. If both answers are yes, then she should be fine. It's not like I've ever had an issue communicating with her, I know what her signs are and what "words" mean what. If I ask her to grab her juice/milk, she'll get her cup. If I ask her to grab me the wipes, she'll go find them and if she can't find those she'll bring me a pack of diapers... so it seems she gets the main idea. If you say "where are your boobs!" she'll point to them or mine (don't ask). The only thing we have an issue with is getting her to point to other body parts, and the whole "lalala I can't hear you" phase she's going through. But other than that I know when she's hungry, what she's hungry for, whether she wants juice or milk, and everything else. But I'd feel really awful if it turned out she did have something wrong with her hearing that's causing her to not develop speech. So yeah, we're getting that looked at too.
The other day she slept in to 10:25 and that made me a very happy momma.

seventeen months.
