Crazy Eights

I have a new trick...counting! I can count all the way to ten. I usually forget the eight, though. Who needs eight anyway?

Pumpkin Patch

Today, Mommy and Daddy took me to a pumpkin patch. We met up with a bunch of friends and family there.


It was a bit cooler out than Mommy and Daddy had expected. Luckily my cousin Jacob came to the rescue with a long-sleeved shirt he let me borrow. Don't worry, by the end of the trip it started to warm up. Mommy said she needs to go shopping for winter clothes.


When we got to the patch we had to load up on this big trailer attached to a tractor. It was kind of muddy from all the rain we've been having which made for a very bumpy ride. Needless to say, I didn't like the ride at all. It reminded me of the time I went to Chuck E. Cheese and Mommy and Daddy tried to put me on one of the car rides. Remember that?


Finally the ride stopped, and we got off the tractor into the pumpkin patch. Mommy and Daddy let me walk around a bit and then we each got to pick out a pumpkin.


After, it was back on the trailer for another bumpy ride back to the front of the patch to claim our pumpkins and wash them off. This time Daddy sat down with me on his lap and it was a lot better.


To tell you the truth, I didn't love the experience. I guess I was a little confused by all the commotion. Maybe next year, I'll get into it more. Anyway, enjoy the pictures!

16 months old!

Yep, I've been around for 16 whole months now! Can you believe it? I just had my 15-month check-up last week. I weigh over 26 pounds and I'm 31.5 inches tall! All my stats fall around the 75th percentile for my age. According to the doctor, I'm doing everything someone my age should be.

Since we spoke last, not that much new has happened. I had a blast at my friend Ava's 2nd birthday party. However, the next day I came down with a cold which meant medicine and breathing treatments: yuck! I'm all better now.

I've learned to say a few more things like shoes and night-night.

I'm a pro at this walking thing. I hardly ever fall down. I'm starting to climb. I managed to climb into the bathtub all by myself! I also tried to follow Daddy up the attic ladder, but I only made it to the first step.

I love to scribble with a pencil or crayon. Mommy wasn't too happy when she noticed I practiced this skill on the floor and closet door. Luckily, the magic eraser came to the rescue.

Mommy realized we hadn't updated the photobucket site since August. Whoops! Just click the link and you'll see lots of brand new pictures of me. There's even one she took today of me tackling a grilled cheese sandwich whole!
