Plumper Pumpkin Patch

We had planned to go to the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago, but the weather was a little iffy, so we decided to wait another week. We are so glad we did! Last weekend the sun was shining and the whole family was able to go! We got Wyatt all dressed appropriately to visit a farm and away we went. Wyatt got to pet a pony, which he wasn't too sure about! He then got a ride in the wheel barrel from Grandpa C as we headed up to the pumpkins. Then we walked around the patch and picked out the perfect pumpkins and Wyatt even got some that were just his size! We love going to the pumpkin patch each year and we are thrilled that Wyatt loves it too! What a perfect day at the pumpkin patch as a family of three!

Walking!!!

At 9 months and 2 days old our little man decided to take his first real steps! Once that happened he never looked back! Now at 10 months and 2 days old, in Wyatt's opinion, walking is just about the only option. While Momma and Papa weren't quite ready for the walking stage just yet, we just love watching him toddle around the house! He's usually carrying something of ours, never one of his toys, and often it's in his mouth! Our boy knows how to multi task!

Here Comes Trouble!

Near the end of August, before we had gotten our baby gates, Wyatt and I were hanging out in the living room. I was reading a work email and Wyatt decided to go exploring. We often let him do this, with a close eye, to gain some independence and explore his home. Usually he ventures into his room to play with books or his bibs but this time he went the other direction. At first I could hear him crawling around and playing but then it got very, very quiet. As a mother, silence is not always a good thing! I quickly got up and when I rounded the corner, this is what I found. Wyatt had pulled the Kleenex box off the end table and manged, in just a few short seconds, to pull just about every tissue out. This was just the beginning of his love for paper products!

Oregon Air Show

Back in August we had the chance to go to the Oregon Air Show. Gretchen's Aunt Gail works for the Port of Portland and had VIP tickets that she wasn't going to use so she offered them up to us! What a great way to spend a Sunday, at no cost, and get a good show up close! We had 3 tickets and so we invited Auntie Erin to join us! Everyone had a great time walking around looking at the big airplanes and watching the action in the sky, even Wyatt!
