Pumpkin Patch, Take 2

As promised, Myles headed back to the pumpkin patch with Daddy over the weekend. Myles had been sick for several days, but appeared to be on the mend and was in dire need of some fresh air and exercise, so this trip was perfect! It was a beautiful fall day!
Myles and Daddy cruised through the hay bale maze. Myles tumbled a few times, but just brushed himself off and kept going.
Myles was fascinated by the gourds and oddly shaped pumpkins.

We have had great times at the pumpkin patch this year and are now looking forward to getting Myles in his first Halloween costume and doing some trick-or-treating!

Grandpa's Buddy

Myles and Grandpa T. really bonded during Grandma and Grandpa T.'s last couple of visits. Myles doesn't sit still much these days, but he liked siting on Grandpa's lap (and Grandpa liked it too). Myles kept Grandpa pretty busy bringing him lots of toys and other various goodies (spoons from the dishwasher for example) to play with. It was lots of fun watching them together. I'm sure Grandpa will enjoy taking Myles on a golf cart ride in Florida when we visit this winter!

Pumpkin Patch, Take 1

Myles went to the pumpkin patch with Grandma and Grandpa T. on Tuesday. He will be making another trip with Mommy and Daddy over the weekend, but he wanted to celebrate the season with Grandma and Grandpa before they head to Florida for the winter.
Grandma and Grandpa took turns taking Myles for a ride in the wagon, which he really enjoyed, but only if no pumpkins were in the wagon with him! Myles walked all over the place, sometimes so fast that we could hardly keep up with him!

He was a very good boy and it was a nice way to spend a visit with Grandma and Grandpa! We were able to get some great pictures and are excited to fill up some new pages in Myles's scrapbook!

Myles brought home two pumpkins to put by the front door, but was promised that he could have more when he visited Pumpkin Patch, Take 2 over the weekend.

Myles is a full-blown walker now! As you can see, he has taken his first header into the sidewalk and scraped up his nose (and got a good knock on his forehead too). We were walking home from the park on Wednesday afternoon. Myles, being the newbie walker that he is, thought it was best if he walked, played with Mommy's cell phone, waved at the passing cars and pointed out the planes in the sky. Mommy had just commented to him that as a new walker, he shouldn't be multi-tasking, when he took a nose dive into the concrete. Of course, Mommy felt very bad that she did not prevent this unfortunate occurrence, but she recognizes that this is the first of many. Myles cried for less than a moment, when Mommy picked him up and he promptly wanted the cell phone back. He is a tough little guy.
