Children's Museum

Another one of Tori's favorite places to play is the Children's Museum. It's a place in our mall that has tons of play areas for kids of all ages that Tori just loves to run around in.

She loves pretending to shop in the little grocery store (as you can see she fills her cart with fruit and bread, her favorite foods).

She also enjoys the new animal exhibit with a maze that you can go through while dressed up as your favorite animal.

She is really cute when she plays in the little kitchen area, and

her favorite is racing the cars in the ball/car/train room.

Fun at the Mall

While Grandma Facer was visiting we did lots of shopping. Tori got a little tired of just sitting in her stroller since she loves to always be up and on the go, so we stopped at the play area in the mall for her to play. It is one of her favorite places to play especially since she learned how to walk. Grandma got some great pictures of her having fun.

She loved to slide down the giant plastic book and

play in the ambulance,

but her favorite was trying to clap and dance up on top of the books where she could see everyone playing.

Bubbles

Tori loves bubbles. At the birthday party we went to they had a bubble machine that she was just mesmerized with, so we came home and did bubbles in the kitchen. Now everytime she sees a little plastic container she brings it to me and says "Ba-ble, ba-ble".
It sure is a lot of fun to watch her try and pop them.

Party Hat

Tori went to a friend's first birthday on Friday and had a ton of fun. I was very surprised that she loved the party hat - she kept it on the entire party and wore it home. The funniest thing at the party was that they had the little noise makers that are paper roled up and you blow in them and they flip out; well I blew in Tori's for her and she just couldn't stop laughing. I did it about 20 times and everytime she would giggle uncontrolablely.

For Halloween I had a bear with a witch hat holding a pumpkin that I put out as a decoration on the table. Well, I think Tori thought the bear was for her. She loves it and has played with it almost everyday since I put it out. Her favorite thing is to say "Rarr" like the bear. The only problem now is I get to have a Halloween bear out all year long. :)

Ready for Church

We just thought Tori looked too cute in her new dress and pig-tails not to post some pictures. These were taken right before church on Sunday when she is usually very happy and loves to find all sorts of fun things in the bathroom drawers while Mom and Dad are getting ready.
