Fall days







I can't believe October is almost over already! This month seemed to go by so fast, but we did get a chance to do some of our traditional October activities with friends. The pumpkin patch at Owens Farm and the Arboretum. Teagan really enjoyed the pumpkin patch. Her favorite part was feeding the goats, and she had no interest at all in doing the hay ride. When it came time to choose a pumpkin to take home, she grabbed the first one she saw and seemed pleased with her selection.

The highlight of the Arboretum trip was all the houses made of pumpkins. Teagan was quite willing to pose for photos, as long as she could do her silly, cheesy grin. Asher of course slept comfortably in a sling for most of our outings.

2 months old!




I can't believe our Little Guy is already 2 months old! He is growing so fast and learning so many new things. He is very socially interactive and loves to smile and coo with us. Last week he started rolling over from his belly and he is bearing weight on his legs when you hold him in standing. He likes to play on his tummy and holds his head up really well when he is propped up on his arms. He is also starting to purposefully bat at toys that are hanging in front of him. Teagan likes to lay on the floor with him when he is on his tummy. She told me today, "I want Asher to play with me!" Asher is still really flexible with is schedule and will pretty much sleep anywhere when I am holding him in a sling. It makes it really easy to take him along with us while playing at the park with Teagan, running errands, or going out to eat.

Asher had his 2 month check up today and the doctor commented on how strong he was and what great motor skills he already has. He weighed 12 lbs (70th percentile) and is 25 inches long (96th percentile).
