Happy Fall Y'all

From our little Turkey!

Bye, Guys

Well, as you can see, Gavin is fed up with being the passenger and is pulling his own (empty) wagon now. He wants to be a big boy and although he has a really great time riding in the wagon, with Gabe and/or without, he is strong enough to pull it by himself.

So, today while we were outside, he rode in his wagon a while, and then he decided that was enough and he was going to pull it. He cried to be helped out and then grabbed the handle and took off. We stood back to see where he'd go and he went all the way to the end of our cul-de-sac...then he really cried when we made him turn around and come home. Poor guy!

Master Class

Ok, it has taken a while, but Gabe has figured out how to actually pedal and propel his tricycle forward with his own feet/legs. He loves to ride his trike, but he has been pushing it with his feet out to the sides and sort of walking with it between his legs or going really fast on our downhill slope of driveway which required no pedaling.....well, now, he's a pro. He is so proud of himself and we are thrilled with his progress!

Gav-in-the-Box

Gavin decided that the best way to look for the toy he wanted was to actually join the toys in the toybox. He simply threw one leg over and climbed right in. He threw the smaller toys out until he found what he wanted to play with. He was so funny in there and he just played in there for a while like it was no big deal. He did stand up and look around once in a while and then he'd just sit back down and continue playing. He was quite content to sit and play IN the toybox. What a cutie-pie!

Acorns

This child thinks he's from Florida with his bare feet in the fall....Brrr, chilly. Gavin was outdoors today toddling around and discovered acorns, or little tree berries that look like acorns. He thought they were neat and kept picking them up and carrying them with him (one in each hand) for a bit. Then, he'd hold them up to his mouth and glance over my way, waiting for me to say "no eat" and then he'd giggle and walk around again looking for more.

What does a friendly pirate say?

Arrrrrrrrrgh!
Happy Halloween!
