Pumpkin Patches and a Rainy Day

We have had lots of opportunities to explore lately, and it's been FUN!

Jack has been to the pumpkin patch 3 times and had a blast each time. 

 Lakeview Farms with Grammy and the cousins!

 .....

 Baggensto's Farm with Auntie Jessica

He was a man on a mission and thought EVERY pumpkin was the perfect pumpkin

 .....

 Next, back to Lakeview Farms!

This time with friends from work:)

 Picking out pumpkins is serious business.

 Jack was unsure about little lady's attention!

 Back on the hunt!

 He's gotten so big!

Lots of adventure around every corner at the pumpkin patch!

Next up? A rainy Monday. 

Mommy tried to let go and let Jack explore and allow whatever happens to happen. 

Jack was intrigued when the rain started falling and I decided to just let him experience it. 

It was bath day anyhow;)

See Bailey drink...

 ...huh...

...Now Jack's turn to explore!

(I was surprised he didn't try to drink the puddle too!)

 My drippy, wet, rainy boy

Getting up close with WET dirt and WET pine needles.

Just making the most of getting dirty

Learning how to catch the rain on his tongue!

JOY!

We're having so much fun watching you grow up little man.

The Lost September Post

Not much to report on from September. 

It's Fall y'all!

Finally got my mantle switched from summer to fall!

Here's some glimpses into every day life! 

 Jack has been REALLY interested to help me cook lately. 

This is our little set up that seems to work best for us.

He helps by cutting up the scraps I give him with his plastic knife. 

(sometimes the scraps try to make it into the meal, but I THINK I rescue most of them!)

Some things never change though...

It's become somewhat of a routine to plop Jack in front of the piano when we get home. 

It entertains him for a time so I have 5 min to unload/reorganize/gather/disperse stuff when we get home.

He saw Papa doing it... ;)

 My activity "Jack in the Box" made a return. 

It's good for at least an hour of entertainment... until he starts throwing noodles or eating them!

Big smiles reveals some new BIG CHOMPERS coming in. 

We have been BLESSED that so far he's been a completely tolerable teether!

On a walk to the park. 

We don't get very far very fast because there is so much to explore!

Hot September night playing with the sprinkler 

I've been trying to get some updated pictures of Jack, but he moves so quick! So as a result, this post is what I shall refer to as a "picture dump." These are all the random pics I've been taking on regular afternoons trying to capture his cuteness. 

PS You may want to stop scrolling now, because it's an annoying amount of pictures really...

...considering what you've already made it through

 

 There! Smiles are hard to come by when the nice camera comes out

 You made it to the end!!!
