Boo at the Zoo

I love Halloween.  It keeps us so busy.  We took the kids to Boo at the Zoo last weekend and it was fun.  I was worried that it wold be too cold or wet since it rained all day, but by the time we needed to leave it had warmed up and the sun was even out.  Stevie even managed to walk most of the time at the zoo.  I think Daddy had a good time too, but who can go wrong with a ton of candy.

So too keep up with our theme last weekend, we hit our pumpkin patch too.  Stevie was able to do more of the activites this year.  He really wanted to do the slide again, but that line got so long.  He picked out the perfect pumpkin for us to carve, so we will get that done soon.  He got to ride the train and climb on the hay stack and of course the pony ride.  Poor Abbie got to watch from her stroller, but there is always next year.

Big milestone though, was Abbie said Mama on Octobe 14th.  This month she has learned to wave and sit up on her own.  She is kind of scooting backwards, but it is mainly to sit up.  I saw her doing that about a week ago.  She even learned to give Daddy a "five" on Tuesday.  Still not crawling though.  she had her own way to get around.

Time for Fall

The weather is finally cooler...yay.  We seem to get busier and busier, but we have to take advantage of the time Daddy has before he starts back up into school.  We took a family trip to Denver and rode Thomas the Train.  It was a fun morning and boy did Stevie have a good time.
He is still talking about Thomas.

We are getting ready for all our fall traditions.  We have Boo at the Zoo, the pumpkin patch, and of course Halloween.  Stevie decided he is going to be Thomas (big shocker there.)

Abbie of course is getting bigger and so stinking cute.  She is still not hitting all her growth markers and causing some worry, but I know she will catch up.  She is rolling like a mad woman and reaching for anything and everything.  She really likes to steal her brother's cup because I guess it tastes better than her own water. I am grateful she is not crawling yet, but she has still disappears rolling around.I am trying to help her stand more, but she is wobbly and falls if I let go (even when holding on to something else.)  It is nice to have such a laid back child.
