which pumpkin should i pick??

saturday, we made our way to a pumpkin patch way out in monroe, nc. (we think that's where we were). unfortunately, we couldn't stay long because garrett had a football game in concord, but 15 minutes was all we needed to get jay a little messy and find a little pumpkin. jay wanted to throw the pumpkins all over the patch and even pulled the stem off of one of the big pumpkins. leave it to kids to mess up things. it was a very nice day, hence the shorts and t-shirt jay was wearing.

there is one underneath these green things.

this one is easier to get to.

mommy, this one i think works for me.

nope, these will be better.

where am i suppose to be?

Let's catch up...it's been a while

it's been about 2 months since we've written about anything. since then, i've started work and haven't stopped yet. neither has jay, he keeps going and going until we put him in bed. he seems to enjoy being in his pack-in-play and playing with my wooden spoons from the kitchen. go figure, he could care less about his toys. he has started to climb on furniture and putting his mega blocks (like legos) together. it's amazing what he's started to do in the last few months. fortunately, he has begun eatting and picking up a few more things. jay's managed to eat granola bars, nutragrain bars, bananas, puffs, some pears at daycare, and just a few more things. its a celebration when he eats something new. this has been one of the hardest things.

i thought i'd hang out here with my spoon for a while.

jake's first birthday. he managed to get it in his hair.

jay having fun at jake's party. playing frisbee with a paper plate.

why buy toys when you can just use things in your cabinets?

i'll get up here soon enough.

yep, i'm cute, even when i'm sick.

here he was home sick with mom with a fever and ear infection.

wanna be like dad.

back in august we went to the park for hannah smith's birthday. jay tried some parts of the playground, but didn't particularly like the swings. the horse was a little better.
