I Can Sign "Bathtime"

On Monday, I let Mommy and Daddy know that I knew it was time for bathtime (after dinner). I showed them by signing the "Bathtime" sign Mommy and Daddy have been doing for the past 6 months. I sign "Bathtime" by putting my fists together in front of my chest and moving them up and down. It is so great to be able to communicate with them. I also show them the drink sign when I am thirsty.

The Pumpkin Train

Today, I went on my first train ride with my family (Gramma Linda, Papa, Drew Shaboo, Auntie Carissa, Uncie Evan, Avery and Mommy and Daddy). The best part of the train ride was the destination... a pumpkin patch! Here's a picture of us with our pumpkin and a scarecrow.

When we first got to McCloud, we walked around the town and Uncie Evan showed me this wooden bear. I taught Uncie where the bear's nose was. After that, we walked over to the train station and we found this pile of leaves. Look at this leaf I found.

Cousin Drew and I had some fun in the leaves.

He even gave me a big hug!!

As we went closer to the train depot, we found lots of activities to do. I crawled through this tunnel trying to get to Mommy.

Here is Drew Shaboo sitting in one of the tents they had there, and he also dug in this graveyard for bones. He said they are dog bones.

Gramma and Papa played with me on the train ride. Here I am sitting in my own seat.

Mommy and Auntie

Daddy and Uncie.

Here is Papa with his favorite boys. Here is Drew Shaboo and his mommy.

When we got off the train, I pointed to all the pumpkins.... look Dada.

I liked the orange pumpkins, but I liked playing with the bark and rocks even more. I even snuck some into my mouth. It didn't really taste like my normal food.

We saw Isaiah and Rachel at the pumpkin patch. Here is Drew playing next to the forest.

Here is Mommy and Auntie with 2 of their favorite boys.

Gramma played with me on the hay bail at the patch.

Look at Drew's tummy tattoo

Drew is funny, look at him sitting on top of the pumpkins on the way home. Uncie Evan taught me how to beat the pumpkin like a drum. This is fun.

I enjoyed sitting on Papa's lap and looking out the window. There were lots of trees passing by.

Uncie had to carry Auntie's big pumpkin. She is carrying one in her belly. It's my little cousin, Nathan Henry.

Group shot after our train ride had ended.

Papa, Daddy, and Uncie were the pumpkin movers. Here they are walking them to the cars. After that, we went to the candy store and I got red and blue blinking suckers.

Little Climber

I have figured out how to get on the coffee table with no assistance from anyone and with nothing to climb on. Mommy and Daddy caught me. I thought that this was the best place to watch the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse before we went on the Pumpkin Train. Now... if only I could figure out how to get down.

Hoopin' it up with Dada!

Tonight, daddy showed me how to shoot hoops after our walk to the park. I don't have my own, Waylon-sized basketball, so I got to use Daddy's gigantic basketball. In no time, I will be slam dunking on Daddy.

When we finished, it was on to dinner and bath-time. After bathtime, I took a step toward my Daddy while we were playing. Mommy and Daddy think I will start walking soon!!!

Dinner at Landon's

Tonight, I went to Landon's house and had some yummy food (thanks Don & Christine). I also got to hang out with all my friends. Grace, Sarah, and Colton were there. We played with the coasters, checked out Landon's new room, ate Christines famous Kahlua cookies, and played with cell phones. Colton is so close to walking. He can stand by himself for a really long time. He can do the "touchdown" move just like me!! I wanted to be held a lot as I have new teeth (#7 & #8) emerging. I really want to eat steak for my first birthday, so I'm hoping those teeth come in quick!

Me and Drew Shaboo

Watch out Tiger!

Here I am practicing my golf swing. I play golf everyday. Sometimes I like to sword fight with my clubs, but mostly I like to practice hitting the ball. My favorite club is my red putter. My balance is getting pretty good and I can almost stand and golf at the same time! Daddy counted a 10 second stand without support this week.

CAKE FIGHT!!!

We went to Auntie Reina's for Anna and Aubrey's birthday. I had a blast. I got to sit on a soccerball bean bag, just like my cousin Drew Shaboo. I also witnessed my first cake fight between Auntie Reina, Aubrey and Summer. It was crazy!! There was cake everywhere. Sorry
Aubrey, I think you lost. I definitely learned a thing or two and can't wait to take it to the high chair.
