Another Trip Downtown!

We couldn't have had a more perfect September day to spend in the city visiting my longest friend, Tricia. We took Ashley to the Lincoln Park Zoo and then to North Avenue Beach.

Chicago's Old Town Fall Fest

Ashley's Second Annual Old Town Fest

Playing outside

Fall Weather is starting to set in, which is a perfect time to play outside!

Look Who's Mastered Standing Alone!

But I'm not encouraging walking! Unfortunately, she's becoming more and more interest in walking when holding on to someone's hands.

Ashley's New Discovery

Ashley randomly started doing this and I happen to have the camera nearby to catch it.

ILL.....INI

For the first Illinois football game, Ashley had to sport her Illinois Sweat suit! It was chilly enough for her to be comfortable in it but warm enough to go outside and take some pictures while she lounged in her chair. She got quite lazy in her chair as I took more and more pictures (She has been my test subject for figuring out my new camera!)

The Whale Tail!

Well, She's one...time for a new hair style!
