Eek!! There Is A Skunk In the Pumpkin Patch!!

We made our annual trek to the Pumpkin Patch this afternoon and we ran into some pretty interesting characters. The first thing we noticed was that a skunk had gotten into the patch!! We were scared at first but quickly realized it was just a baby one, and all he wanted to do was find a comfortable place to take a nap.

Luke Skywalker was there to protect us if things got out of hand.

We saw a pink leopard that was as cute as she could be.

Little Red Riding Hood was trying to find her Grandma's house and stay away from the Big Bad Wolf!

We got everybody together for a few group shots...

We had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch! Such a fun place to get a pumpkin and a few fall pictures!

Exercise

Wade loves to exercise by kicking his little legs. He can play like this for an hour. He is going to have some strong legs.

Happy Birthday Pop Pop

Happy Birthday Pop Pop!!! We love you and can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving!!

Wade's Two Month Stats

Wade at Two Months:

Weight - 13 pounds - 75th percentile

Height - 24 1/2 inches - 90th percentile

Wade is doing just great!! He has started smiling and cooing at us a lot. I just melt when he gives me one of his big cheesy grins. The kids are enjoying his grins too. He was cooing at Luke the other day and Luke came running telling me that Wade was trying to talk to him. He was so excited! I love that the kids notice when Wade does something new.

Wade is a good baby. He still sleeps a lot during the day. He gets a little fussy in the evening when I am trying to get dinner ready. It is a little tough, to say the least, to get dinner ready while holding this little boy. It takes more than one hand to cook, but he won't let the kids hold him while he is fussy. Mommy is the only one that can do the trick.

He sleeps pretty good at night. He is ready to go to sleep about 8:30pm. He goes about six hours before he wakes to eat followed by a three or four hour stretch. The only problem is when he wakes for his night time bottle he likes to stay awake and play for awhile. So we are usually up for about an hour and a half for his night time feeding. I am getting caught up on the shows I like to watch. Thank goodness for DVRs. This is a luxury we did not have when the other kids were babies.
He is eating like a champ .....you can tell by the extra chin! Meal times are serious business.

Random Pictures

There has not been much going on around our house to blog about, so here are some pictures I have taken over the past two weeks. It is kind of nice for a change that we have not had anything eventful to share.

Kate is reading to Wade and playing on his mat with him.


Wade at 8 weeks.

Here are a couple of my funny outtakes. It is quite a challenge to get everybody to smile and look forward at the same time. I torture them with all the pictures I take and this is an example of how they get me back...

Tiger Pride

On the weekend of September 17th we took a trip to Snyder to help celebrate Uncle Aaron's 30th birthday with Chris's family. It was a great weekend and great party! We took this opportunity to all dress in our Snyder Tigers outfits.

Another cousin picture...this one turned out so cute!! This one was just as challenging to get as the ones we have taken in the past but the outcome was great!!
Here is a picture of the whole family including Grandmom and Granddad. This group has grown by three this year.
