Just had to add this picture of daddy and daughter napping this past weekend because it was so cute! She loves to extend her nap with her daddy on the weekends.

Helena and I went to the Underwood Farms Fall Festival with some of our mommy friends and kiddos. This is really worth the trip out to Moorpark for any local moms and dads; it offers tons of open space with beautiful mountain scenery. They had lots of kiddy rides, a corn maze, animals for petting, and lots of space for the kids to run around. As you can see from the video, Helena had the most fun throwing hay at her friend, Evan. This kid really cracked Helena up, and each time they saw hay, they couldn't help but start a friendly "hay war" with eachother!

Auntie Kiran and Uncle Manish paid us a visit this past weekend and Helena loved playing with her new friends. We all had a great time catching up and Helena loved meeting our two very special friends who came all the way from Boston!

Toddler Monster! Helena has perfected a scary growl along with her new walk just in time for Halloween.

Helena and I made a trip back to Dayton last week and had a great time! Helena is absolutely amazed by her older cousin, Ana. They had so much fun playing in the big backyard, riding bikes (or scooters in Helena's case!), and playing with all the toys grandma put out for them. We captured some great shots of Helena with her Grandma and Papa as well, but they are on Papa's camera, so we may never get them : )
