Halloween

We had a great day yesterday at Daddy's school. Each department set up a table and passed out candy, crafts, and games. You surprised us both and left your monkey costume on the whole time. We didn't try for the hat part because you hate hats. You enjoyed picking out your own treat and putting it in your bucket. But you loved Sully the best of all. You ran to him and waved any chance you got.

Zoo

Last weekend we went to the Columbus zoo. Your favorite animals were the gorillas, komodo dragon, and the petting zoo horse. You ran around the gorillas doing laps around their cages waving to them. Luckily you didn't scare the dragon with all the banging you did on his window. After the zoo we took you back to Dave and Busters to run wild looking at the lights and sounds of the games.

18 month stats

Today at the doctor you weighed 26 pounds 4 ounces and were 33.8 inches. Both stats are up 3 since last time.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to Young's and took a tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch. You enjoyed running up to all the pumpkins. Next we put you in a wagon to ride further to see the big pumpkins. You picked out which one you wanted and off we went. We also bought some pumpkin donut holes that were a big hit with all of us.

New words

You now say mom and dad all the time. You still say cat more then any other word. Duck and that have been heard a few times too.

You also learned signs for eat, milk, water, and more.

Dave & Busters

Yesterday we took a day trip to Columbus to do something different. We went to 2 new malls to walk around and check out their kid play areas. They were very busy with kids, but it didn't stop you from finding the stairs and going up and down 100 times.

Next up we went to Dave and Busters for dinner and play. Your eyes lit up when you saw all the lights and buttons. You went game to game pushing buttons and watching lights and listening to the sounds. We will have to go back in December when we are close to one again.

Aquarium

After we dropped Gammie and Pop of at the airport we took you to the aquarium. You loved running around like a crazy man checking everything out. They had a fun jungle gym area for you to blow steam off before finishing our long car ride. The touch pool was your favorite part until you tried to climb in. You also liked the animal statues like the frogs and penguins.

Gammie and Pop Visit

This weekend Gammie and Pop came to visit and see how big you got. You did amazing with them, but then again Gammie won your heart from the first minute she said she would lift you up to turn the fan on. Plus it didn't hurt that after that she gave you some really cool new books with wheels. You must have really liked Pop since you shared your chex with him and we all know how much you love to eat. He took you for a bike ride around the house and even did a few wheelies to win you over. You loved when we went out to dinner Gammie took you away from the table to walk. You saw birds and flowers and even water fountains.
