Fall Fun!

It's Fall!! And boy have we been busy my love! There are always so many fun things to do in the fall and we have been doing them all! Our first fall adventure was our annual trip to Gentry's Farm with the gang! We have been going all together since Mommy was pregnant with you! Here is a look back at the mandatory whole gang portrait (I have to give Miss Nicole props, because I totally stole this idea from Abby's blog!)

Our first trip, you were still in Mommy's tummy!

Look how little you were!

This year's picture! We are missing Ellie though! You are looking at Baby Kate, you LOVE babies!

You had such fun at the Pumpkin Patch! You saw sheep, goats, chickens and cows!! Oh my goodness you were just a Baaaing and Mooing all over the place! You favorite part of the whole day was the hay ride!! You had soooo much fun watching the cows and pointing to them! You were so excited that you couldn't even sit in Daddy's lap you stood in his lap the whole time!

Trying to get Ryan to smile! You are such a sweet boy wanting to hold his hand!



You loved the tractors!





Our next fall extravaganza stop was the zoo!! It was the annual Ghouls at Grassmere and Mommy is going to be honest I was a wee bit nervous that it might be too scary for you but Miss Nicole and Aunt Leigh assured me that as long as we were there before dark you would be good to go and they were right! You LOVED every minute of it!! And the best part you got to wear your super duper cute Lion costume! Oh my goodness love you were by the far the cutest little lion I have ever seen! You even can roar!











Your favorite part of the whole evening was the merry go round! You had so much fun going round and round! You especially loved waving to Daddy, Mr. Jason and Abby's Mimi! Mommy was so proud of you, you even kept your costume on the whole time! I thought for sure we wouldn't make it out of the parking lot with your mane on but you were such a big boy! I think it helped that we parked next to Abby and she was all decked out in her Mickey costume so you knew that something special was going on! There was even a dance tent where you shook your groove thing with Abby, Ryan, Ellie and Abby's cousin Clara Lee, you all looked so cute just busting a move on the dance floor! And we went on a haunted hayride!! Which once again Mommy was very nervous that you would be scared but you LOVED it! In fact you thought the whole thing was just hilarious!! Such fun my love! Mommy just loves all these fun activities with you my sweet boy!! Next stop: Pumpkinfest on Saturday!!

Look Who IsTalking!

You are a talker my love!! Oh my goodness you are just like a sponge (a very cute one of course!) you are just soaking up so much!! Here are all the words you can say so far:

Momma
Da Da
Pop Pop - for Poppy
My My - for Mimi, which I think is so sweet because it is like you are saying Mine Mine, which of course your Mimi just loves!
Balloon - you LOVE balloons! When you say it you look up!
Ball - you are such an eagle eye too my love you can spot balls everywhere! Even on TV!
Go
Cat
Yum - oh my goodness you say this when you are eating or pretending to cook and it is so stinkin cute! You stick out your tongue a little bit when you say it!
Boat
Bye Bye
Gobble Gobble - for a turkey

These are all the sounds you can make:
Moo
Baa
Meow
Arf Arf
Fire engine siren

Sesame Street has also become a favorite of yours! When you see Elmo on TV or in a book you make the sweetest high pitch sound, imitating Elmo's voice! You also do a Cookie Monster voice!

There are so many cute things that you can do! Mimi has taught you how to "sniff" the flowers! You even "sniff" the flowers in books! She also taught you how to "hammer hammer" when we ask you what the workers do! You love watching the workers build new houses in Mimi and Poppy's neighborhood. You also have started making the cutest gesture when we ask you where something went, you hold up your hands and shrug your little shoulders like "I don't know!" Mimi also taught you to raise your arm up when she says you are soooo big!

You know colors too!! You know orange, red, and blue!!

You are also a dancing machine!! Mommy LOVES your dancing! Anytime you hear music you stop what you are doing and just bust a move!!

Here are some other favorites of the moment: Dinosaur Train on PBS, Morning Star chicken nuggets and Bocca Burgers (you are a little vegetarian my love, though you do like rotisserie chicken!), lima beans (which Mommy thinks is just crazy!), riding in your wagon, going to the store with your Daddy, watering the flowers with your Poppy and reading your books. Everyday you are learning new things and Mommy is loving every minute of it!!

On the Road Again

Well we are just on the move my love!! After chilling at home for a week after our big Texas trip we headed to the lake to celebrate Daddy's birthday! And guess what??? The whole Grugett clan was there to celebrate with Daddy!! We actually went down a little bit early so you could have KK and Grandaddy all to yourself for a bit. And boy did you have fun!! You loved walking around the harbor and looking at all the boats, you even learned how to say "boat"!! You are such a talker now my love (more on all your verbal skills in a later blog!!) You loved playing basketball with your Daddy, ball is another one of your favorite words!







Soon Uncle Lee and Ryan joined us, and then the fun really started! You just love following Ryan all around and playing with him! Ryan was very sweet with you and always shared the toys with you! KK and Grandaddy also got you a new farm toy! You had so much fun making all your animal sounds for everyone! You also have a new favorite toy, Ryan's tricycle!! You LOVE riding it, but so does Ryan! So Mommy asked Santa for your very own tricycle for Christmas. We played and played and looked at the boats, we even went on a picnic! By this time Aunt Leigh and Baby Jake were also there, such fun with all three boys!! You were sooooo sweet with Baby Jake, you even offered him your paci!! That means love my friend because we all know how much you love your paci! Mommy and Daddy had such fun watching you play with your cousins! Here are some more highlights! Wonder where we will venture to next??
