Connor's Baptism

Today was Connor's baptism. We had to get up early, so here I am eating a waffle as we were leaving for church.
Don't I look cute in my matching sweater and hat from GranJan?!

Being a good boy at church with Poppy and Great-Grandpa Don.
Auntie Jess and the little angel, Connor.
Mommy, me and Daddy!

A quick picture with GranJan and Poppy. I was getting a little restless. Congratulations on your baptism, Connor.

Wonderscope

Yesterday I got to go to Wonderscope Children's Museum with my cousin Connor and his cousin, Grace. We had a great time! My favorite room was the one with all the balls and the water room!
Here's Uncle Chris and baby Connor. He had fun taking it all in.

Here is Connor's cousin, Grace. She is my Auntie Jess' sister's little girl. Isn't she the cutest?

Despite the apron, I got SOAKING wet! What a blast! Thanks for playing, Connor and Grace!

Snacking & Signing in Cowboy Boots

Today, I wanted to sit like a big boy all by myself at the table and have my snack. I insisted on wearing Uncle Chris' old cowboy boots as well.
Signing "more"....

Signing "please." This is a new sign that I've learned. I've become quite good at signing for "more", but now I can sign "more, please" which makes my mommy and daddy really happy when I say and sign please. To anyone else, it sounds like I am saying "mo peez", but Mommy and Daddy know that I am saying, "more, please."

Now I'm trying to share my snack with Mommy.

Just Stuff...

I love hanging out with my Poppy! He came to visit me last week and we went to the Free State soccer game together. I had fun at the soccer game, but I was a busy bee wanting to roam around everywhere.
Getting ready to go for a walk with baby cousin Connor.

At the park, swinging. I like to hold onto my goldfish snacks at all times.
Whee! I love the slide! I like going down by myself on my tummy!
Baby cousin Connor was resting in his stroller while I played at the park. I can't wait til he's big enough to play with me!
Daddy and I get to do really fun things together on Thursday afternoons when Mommy is at work. Last week, we went to Starbucks and got a drink for Mommy and surprised her at work. That made her day! Then today, we went to the grand opening of Dunkin Donuts near our house. I LOVE donuts! I ate the whole thing and loved every bite! (As you can see behind me, Mommy and Daddy are taking on a big project - painting woodwork in our family room and kitchen!)

Daddy, can I please have another one?

Trick or Treat!

Last year I was just a baby so Mommy and Daddy had to carry me around on Halloween. This year I am a big boy, so I got to walk door to door trick-or-treating!

Highlights from my 2nd Halloween

My 2nd Halloween as a farmer was busy and fun! We made it to a couple parties and visited some friends. The first pic is me with my "second" family in KC - the Beyers family! I got to practice trick-or-treating at their house and they loaded me up with all kinds of goodies! Thanks, Shelby, Wes, Sally, Grayson and Matthew!
On a mission to get to the Chicken Hawk fry party. This is a fun K-State party that Mommy and Daddy usually attend and I got to go with them this year. They had lots of fun stuff for kids. There was a balloon artist and he made me a pink pig balloon to go with my farmer costume. Too bad we didn't get a pic of it.

Mommy and I posing in front of the giant inflatable Willie the Wildcat! Poppy would be proud!
Then I got to meet up with my cousin, Jack (the lion). We got to do some trick-or-treating together at the community center.

It was such a beautiful day outside!
Last but not least! I got to visit with my baby cousin Connor, AKA Mr. Giraffe. He was the cutest little giraffe I've ever seen. I didn't want to sit still to pose for a picture with him. I loved touching his giraffe head and face, though.
Baby cousin Connor just hanging out enjoying the beautiful fall day in his giraffe costume! What a fun Halloween! Thanks for all the tricks and treats everybody!

Music Class Halloween Party

Let the Halloween festivities begin! Today at music class, we got to dress up in our Halloween costumes and have a party with our teacher, Miss Trilla. It was so fun to see all my buddies dressed up.
Here is Beckett and his mom (AKA Mickey and Minnie Mouse).

Here's sweet ballerina, Nicole.
Reid was a soft, cuddly little monkey.
Beau, the frog!
