The Pumpkin Patch

So have you missed me? I've been a little "under the weather" lately and not quite up to posting on my blog. But boy am I back! Today, Mommy, Daddy, and I went to the Pumpkin Patch with my friends Connor and Noah. I was a little sleepy at first, especially with the bright sun shining on me, but we had loads of fun. There were pumpkins EVERYWHERE! I guess that's why it's called the pumpkin patch. There were also little animals to pet - a goose, goat, baby calves, and even a little bitty Collin-size horse! The little horse was pretty cute, but once I saw the REAL horses, I was S-O-L-D! Daddy even let me ride one. Yeeee-haw! I think I got my "cowboy genes" from Daddy....Mommy says I got ALL my genes from Daddy!

I'm sitting!

Today I shocked Mommy & Daddy by sitting up on my own! I've been close for so long, but tonight was the night. Luckily, Mommy was closeby with the camera...as usual!

A NEW Day!

Wow - what a day! Yesterday, I got up and had cereal and peaches while sitting in my new highchair. Then, Mommy got me all strapped into my new jogging stroller. We were going for a run, but then when we got outside, Mommy realized that it was misting rain and decided it might not be very fun for me to cruise through the mist, so we headed back in. But later that morning, Daddy went out and hooked up my new outdoor swing. Boy, do I like to swing!

I did get to take a ride in my new stroller today - with no rain. I especially like to ride with my feet propped up on the tray...just chillin' in my new ride. :)

Ladies' Man

So, I was in the nursery at church last Sunday, and I was so excited because my friend Scarlett was there. There was a problem, though, because Scarlett was upset at being dropped off in the nursery by her daddy. Being the ladies' man that I am, I sauntered up to Scarlett (with Daddy's help of course), flashed my award-winning smile (ok, maybe it's not exactly "award-winning" yet, but it certainly melts Mommy's heart!), and gave her my best "gaa ba goo" talk. Well, just when I thought Scarlett would giggle and greet me with a sweet, lovable grin.....she POPPED me right in the nose!!!

Lesson learned...don't try charm a lady when she's having a bad day. Well, maybe the REAL lesson is that I shouldn't have pulled Scarlett's hair 2 days before. :) The good news is, I'm a tough little man and the wrath of Scarlett didn't even faze me!

Hail to the Chief!

Last weekend, I got to see my new bedroom in our new house. This is my first picture in my new room! I think it will hold all my toys just fine!

I've been really into politics lately, especially with the back-to-back conventions, but unfortunately all the good stuff happens after I go to bed. I figure I'll need all this experience for my own presidential run in 2044!

P.S. Did anyone spot my 2 little teeth?? :)

A Day in the Life

Just thought I'd show you a glimpse of how I spend my days. I have lots of fun! I play in my exersaucer, hang out with my stuffed friends, and at the end of the day, I get to splash, splash, splash in the tub! And of course, Mommy's there to take pictures of all of it!

All Good Things Come in Pairs

Guess what? Mommy was checking the progress on my tooth (which now is breaking through the surface) and she found a SECOND tooth!! Soon I'll have 2 little teeth to show off when I smile! Am I good at growing teeth or what?

And, for those of you who are waiting to hear...of course I loved the carrots!
