My First trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Powell's Pumpkin Patch 10/20/13

Last weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with my family for the first time.  Last year when I was a little baby, Mommy and Daddy and I went to Louisburg Cider Mill for Ciderfest and got a pumpkin while we were there, but this year we decided to go out to the pumpkin patch and pick our own pumpkin.  It was so much fun!  Nana and Papa, and Aunt Hilary and Uncle Jake came, too.  I got to ride in the wagon while we were wandering through the patch looking for pumpkins.  We found lots that we liked, and and I had a blast playing with them all while Papa pulled me around in the wagon!  I'm looking forward to keeping this family tradition!

There were so many to choose from!

My favorite game was taking all the mini pumpkins out of the basket

Mommy and Daddy said next weekend we're going to carve our pumpkin!  That's where you cut it open and cut out a face to make a jack-o-lantern.  I'll post pictures so you can see it when we're done!  Happy Halloween!

My First Steps!

For the last couple of weeks I have been working a lot on trying to walk by myself!  At first I could only take 1 or 2 steps from the furniture to Mommy or Daddy, and most of the time I would dive for their arms when I got close because the always catch me!  Then yesterday I started going further, more like 8 or 10 steps all by myself!  I was practicing alllll day at home with Mommy yesterday, and I couldn't wait to show Daddy when he got home from work!  I still fall down sometimes, but I'm getting better and better!  Check out this video from last night:
