Fall Festival X 2

In this first photo, I am at mom's fall festival at her school, and yes, that is a real pumpkin. It took up the whole bed of the truck it was sitting inside. I thought it was pretty cool.

Then it was off to my 2nd fall festival at church. I was not too thrilled about posing with my friend Paige "AKA Catwoman," but I loved riding the toys at the playground.

The best part of the evening was the duck pond. I could have cared less about the prizes. All I wanted to do was splash in the water. Needless to say my arms were pretty wet much to mom's dismay.

Another pose with the pumpkin I decorated at fall festival and the leftover hay bales from the night before.

In this last picture I was such a big help to dad when he was trying to fix the squeaking rocking chair. Grabbing all the tools was fun for me, but I don't think dad liked it too much.

Risky Business

Here I am sliding on the hard wood in my shirt and diaper. Mom says all I needed were some black glasses and I would be just like Tom Cruise.


Here I am having a trial run at the Halloween costume. I didn't like the mask over the eyes too much.



At Grandpa's house he made a special trip to the shed so that I could ride the tractor. That made my day!!


Grandpa's cow was giving me a staredown. I just giggled everytime he mooed at me. Grandpa made a pretty good cow for riding too.

Rutledge-Wilson Farm

Today Mommy and Daddy took me to Rutledge-Wilson Farm and boy did I have a "Hay Day" literally!

.
First, I had to jet over to the tractors.


Next I checked out all the animals. I got to pet the ponies and the goats.


I even got to hear the roosters "Cockadoodledoo." I giggled hysterically every time they did it.


Next it was onto the pumpkin patch with a ride on daddies shoulders.


Eventually we made it to the children's hay bale area. Boy was it fun climbing and walking all over the hay!


Here I am on the top being the king of the world!


Finally it was off to the barn and silo playground. This was by far the coolest playground I have been on. I am now a professional at sliding down big slides.


I have become so good on the slides I like to go down on my belly and try to climb up them as well.


I have also become very fond of crawling through the tunnels even if it makes my hair stand straight up.


Trying to get me to pose for an actual picture when I am trying to run around and play was a joke. As you can tell in each photo, I wanted no part of it, even if that's what mommy wanted me to do.

Three P's....Plants, Pumpkins and Painting

I have become very fond of watering the plants. Its almost a given every time I go outside. The best part of watering plants is simply splashing with my hands inside the watering can or chewing on it.


I am very aware that Halloween is coming. I love to look for pumpkins on mommy's run each afternoon. There seems to be pumpkins on almost every porch! In the second picture I am throwing the tennis ball. I have not decided on a hand preference yet, however mom keeps saying I need to use my left.


I know I will surely be a big help when daddy starts painting the basement. I find the mixing sticks to be the most fun to chew on.




Here mom and I are being silly. I have also started trying to stand on my head......or for all those yoga lovers I am doing the "Downward Facing Dog."


I have also become very fond of my Sesame Street tent in the basement. I love to roll all over inside of it. In the second picture I am sporting my "Wild Man" t-shirt. That's pretty fitting because another new trick is to run away from mommy any time it is bath time or time to get dressed in the morning.



Lastly, mommy and I pose before church when we are all dressed up. I still don't care for the nursery too much but am getting used to it.

All Pictured Out!!

Since my birthday party I have been playing "Hard to Get" in the picture smiling department much to mom's dismay.

Here I am at church waiting to get church directory pictures done. The photographer was not quite as patient as the ladies at Sears are, but we got it done. Running around the room was what I preferred to do.

In the next set of pictures mom is trying to get me to smile before church. She even took me outside, but I was not about to stand still and give her a shot of my 8 pearly whites.

Finally dad got me to settle down for a picture. Mommy says this picture is of the 2 most handsome boys ever.

I also was not too full of smiles when mom was trying to get a picture of me in my new Mizzou hat. Dad wants me to wear it all the time now that Mizzou has got off to a great start. I am a "Lil Tiger" in training.

Here I am playing at Meemaw's house. Its been a rough transition going to Small Wonders one day a week. I actually think it has been tougher on Mommy and Meemaw, but don't tell them I said that. I will say that I do have a lot more smiles at Meemaw's house. She just lets me get away with so much!!!
