In 20 years it will just be scary :)<br /><br />Also, your excitement about the pumpkin patch reminds me of Kelly, from Kelly's Korner, who once wrote, "I'm just feeling very blessed on this beautiful fall day. A day I dreamed of for many years. Keep hope. Your pumpkin patch days are coming. :-) And they will be worth the wait." (http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/2011/10/down-on-farm.html)<br /><br />I am so excited that after so many years of holding out hope, your are getting (one of) the days you've dreamed of for so many years.<br /><br />(I started writing this comment on Thursday morning and am just finishing it now. It's a sad state of affairs, I tell you!)Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350800415772519653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-14084921461101929792014-10-02T21:16:34.317-04:002014-10-02T21:16:34.317-04:00I love all these showers - so much fun!

I'm working from home today and gleefully catching up on my blog reading/commenting, but still feel guilty for getting paid to do it. So I was rushing, and pausing every few seconds to smile at the baby sitting next to me. Despite this, my lack of proofing is inexcusable.

She does maintain that she named me mentally chose my name long before it became the most popular name of the 80s.<br /><br />I want to come to the blog friend Amanda pumpkin patch meet up!!!!!!! I can totally relate to that feeling of wanting to take my child to get a pumpkin (and to take a bajillion photos) for what seems like forever. Maybe they won't know what's going on this year, but I'm sure they'll appropriately appreciate the adorable photos later. They BETTER.<br /><br />P.S., love the rugrat look. The diaper is cute... just as cute as bloomers! So there. And she looks so happy. I love it.Deedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02386061097583007160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-71962401718314541232014-10-02T10:47:54.783-04:002014-10-02T10:47:54.783-04:00Bless you all.

And her tootsies in the nap picture? I die.<br /><br />Also, when I was a baby my dad nicknamed me "Charlie Tuna Cakes," (no idea why) and for most of my childhood probably until I graduated from college, he called me Charlie more than anything else. As an Amanda of the '80s, I spent many days wishing I had just been named that instead.<br /><br />Have a fantastic weekend!

It's a shame you didn't embrace this look on her earlier -- now that it's getting cooler outside, we're going to have to wait almost a whole year before we see her in rugrat-mode again! (But in the meantime, I look forward to seeing her in snow bunny gear and lots of adorable winter accessories!)<br /><br />Can't wait for our pumpkin patch date -- perfect weather, lots of great photo ops, and fun times with friends (blog friends, real friends...friends are friends no matter what form they come in)!
