A Lot To Tell You!

Hey Everyone,

I am having a really great day. This morning Joey went to work with dad so it has been just mom and me at home!! I took a really long morning nap and then woke up in a great mood. I've been trying to play with a lot of new toys that mom unpacked for me. Joey usually wants to play too, but today I don't have to share! I've been investigating my light up stack rings, all of the animals on my blanket, the animal train, and much more. I am a pro at rolling from my tummy to my back now. If I accidentally fall over when I'm sitting I just flip right over. Mom has been trying to get me to spend time on my tummy, but I have other plans!

I'm also getting to like baby food a little more. I've been eating about 1 jar of food every evening. (except last night...I think that mom tried to feed me broccoli! I just ate a couple of bites!) This morning I didn't have tummy medicine. Hopefully the food and sitting up will be enough to keep the reflux away. If not, I can still get more of my prescription.

I've been helping mom a lot around the house. We've been working on painting her bathroom. She usually paints while Joey and I are sleeping, but if I'm awake I get to stand at my walker table and help her tape and do things that don't stink! She's almost done, and then we're going to work on the kitchen.

This past weekend we ended up not going to Purdue. Instead we all watched the game in the basement. I was on the couch with dad and very interested in what was going on. Joey sat on his monkey chair with his big Purdue foam finger. At least he can't get me with that one! We lost, but it was fun spending the day with dad. Here is a picture of me watching the game with my animals...

Then on Sunday after church we went down the road to the pumpkin patch. We took the wagon and I went on my first ride. Joey did more of the activities that I did, so he can tell you about it in his blog. We took a hay ride back to the pumpkin patch and dad helped me pick a pumpkin. Mine weighed in at 2 pounds and looks like a peanut! You can see it later on when we carve them. Joey picked a HUGE 22 pounder that had to ride in the wagon with me! Check out the stem, it may as well be a cucumber! We also went in the corn maze. Dad wanted to take me through in my wagon, which was hard to do! I loved playing with the corn leaves and even tore one apart as we walked around.

Yesterday I turned 7 months old and weighed in at 22 pounds...still growing! Story time is going again so we went to that. There was another little baby and some other kids younger than Joey. After the library I fell asleep while Mom and Joey ate a snack at Butlers Bakery and then we walked across the street to the park. It was a good day in the nice weather. It's raining today, so maybe our grass will start growing!

I think that is about all for now. Here are a couple more cute pictures...
