Carving My Pumpkin!

I was really excited to touch my pumpkin... until my parents cut it open. It smelled funny and it looked gross and weird inside. They took my clothes off, in preparation for a big mess, but I wasn't so sure about digging in there with my hands.  

They showed me the seeds and orange goo that was inside. I still wasn't sure what to think.

My crazy parents thought I might actually consider putting my feet in there. I bent my legs as quickly as I could!

 Daddy let me take a closer look...

I was curious.

 Then, Mommy showed me how to use the spoon to scoop out the insides. I got to hold the spoon and put it inside of the pumpkin. It was awesome! The spoon quickly turned into my drumstick and I banged on the pumpkin over and over.

It turned out to be a lot of fun after all!!

Pumpkin!

Mommy, Daddy and I went to pick out a perfect pumpkin for me! I got bundled up and looked around at all of the bright orange pumpkins. I liked touching each stem. We picked one out and brought it home. They tell me we get to carve it soon; I can't wait!

Hi!

Whenever I FaceTime with someone, I like the time right before we connect when I get to look at myself. I smile at that handsome baby in the phone and say, "hi!"  My Mommy decided to video my interaction between my real-self and my phone-reflection.

Close to Candy

My Mommy and I went to the mall with my friend, Taylor, and her mom. It was fun to walk around with another toddler. We shared our snacks and laughed at silly things in the store windows. We were most excited by the fact that we could actually reach these candy machines all by ourselves! We're both too young to eat any of the candy safely, but we checked every single opening just in case there was some candy left over. We didn't find anything, but it was a lot of fun to play with!

A Little More Energy!

I'm starting to feel a little bit better. I have even been starting to get a little bit more energy.
I was able to play football with Grandma and Mommy a little bit. I had to rest afterwards, but it was fun to be up and playing again.



After a long nap, I was able to play with the balloon. (By 'play with,' I mean attack Delilah and Daddy!)

Sick :(

I have Croup! It is not fun at all. My throat is scratchy when I try to talk and I make raspy sounds when I breathe. I cough and sneeze a lot and I am not in my typical good mood. I've been cuddling a lot and watching a LOT of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on TV. My Mommy, Daddy and Grandma Lynn have been taking good care of me over the past couple of days. I've been sick since Sunday, and I am finally starting to feel a little bit better.

Pumpkin Patch

I went to the pumpkin patch this weekend!! My parents took me along with Uncle Nick and Emily. 

I went there last year, too; but this year I was old enough to walk around and enjoy it even more! 

Look how much I have grown:

I pointed to all of the big pumpkins and was excited to see everything!

There was a petting zoo! I didn't pet any of the animals, but I loved looking at them. I wasn't quite sure what animal noises to make when I saw the goat. I thought it was silly, though! 

We went into a giant corn maze! 

Here is a picture of Daddy and Mommy with me inside the corn maze.

I liked holding Uncle Nick and Daddy's hands.

The corn maze was dinosaur-shaped. I roared at all of the signs throughout the maze that had dinos on them.

Emily, Uncle Nick and I celebrated once we made it out of the maze!

There were a lot of other cool things for me to check out. I wanted to touch or walk on everything!

We watched the balloons take off, had some snacks, and went home. It was SO much fun!!
