Cookies!

Only 15 more days till Trick or Treat!!! Sarah and I have our costumes all ready to go. Mom thought it would be a good idea to make some Halloween Cookies today. I did a great job with the icing don't you think?

Sarah and I send out Happy Anniversary wishes to Grandma and Grandpa today!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Well after weeks of talking and waiting it was finally time to go to the Pumpkin Patch!! I have been so excited about this and waiting to wear my Halloween shirt!

Here is dad and I feeding the goats. I was a little unsure this year - they tickled my hands, so I let dad finish the feeding.

I went on the Banana Boat ride - all by myself!!

Sarah and I rode a wild pig!!

The girls in the barn - they had lambs, cows, pigs, rabbits and goats.

Sarah had her first taste of a pulled chicken sandwich with gravy. She loved it!!! Forget that yucky baby cereal.

Our friend McKenna met us at the pumpkin patch. Our silly parents tried to make us pose for pictures with the pumpkins.

After about 20 shots, dad finally got a picture with us both looking in the same direction. Thank goodness for digital cameras!

McKenna and I got to roll in big tubes and go on some big slides - then have some popcorn!

What a great day!!!! Only 17 more days until trick or treat time!!!!

Movin' On Up

Wow, I discovered these how these leg things work! Now I can pull up on everything and stand. My sister isn't too thrilled with this discovery - she likes to hide snacks and toys from me by putting them on the coffee table or couch, but now I am onto that trick.



Look, one hand. I'll be cruising and walking in no time. I can't wait to get my hands on some holiday decorations!

We also added a poll on the right side. Please vote on what colour of hair and eyes you think I will end up with. Thanks!

Gymnastics

Now that I am 2.5 I am old enough to start gymnastics class. I love it! My favorite parts are doing headstands and hanging on the bars. After only 2 classes I can do a sommersault all by myself and make it across the balance beam.

Not to be outdone, Sarah has decided she better start practicing gymnastics at home. My sister is always copying me!

Oh My.....

Sarah has learned to scream for attention (or just for fun) and also mastered crawling. Looks like we are in for double trouble now!

Recent Happenings

An update from our world....Only 100 days until Sarah's birthday. The countdown is officially on! Now that I am getting bigger, my sister and I are learning to play together. Claire taught me about flowers the other day. Turns out they are not for eating.

I have been learning to play with all sorts of new toys.

Last weekend we went to the zoo. They were having a fall festival so we met up with our friend Aidan for a chilly, but fun playdate. Claire had a great time petting the new baby goats.

Me, I sat in the stroller and tried to stay warm!

We had a great time watching the river otters - they kept swimming over right to us.

Claire kept wanting to go back and pet the goats more. Good thing she had an cute, warm sweater from Aunt Lori to keep her warm, yet stylish.

Cool Weather!

Well the weather has finally turned cool and this family is excited! Today we decided to head out and explore a new park and have a picnic lunch. It was a great adventure and it tuckered us out pretty well.

Here mom convinced me to sit still for 10 seconds so she could take a picture of us together.

Sarah, exploring her surroundings and doing her best to stay off the blanket.

I can climb mountains now that I am big.

The semi-crawling Sarah.

Look mom, one hand!

Catch!

We had a great time on our picnic! I Wonder how many different parks we can visit this fall?
