Pumpkin Patch 2011

On Friday we hit up Lombardi Ranch for pumpkins!  Brynn has been asking for weeks to go to the pumpkin patch and she finally got her wish.  When we first got there Evan was sleeping so Brynn got to explore for a bit by herself.

 And then Nana arrived and we walked through Scarecrow Alley!

 Posing with the pumpkins!

 Evan woke up a little dazed at first but then was racing around like a mad man.

 Evan was amazed with all the little pumpkins.

He spent a good deal of time taking them out and then putting them back in the pile.

Brynn in the giant jack-o-lantern!

We had a great time and came home with a few pumpkins to carve!  And...Brynn is still asking to go to the pumpkin patch.  Sigh...

*************************************************************

Saturday we carved up the pumpkins and, of course, the kiddos got involved!

 Evan was interested to see what the fuss was all about.

 And Brynn was ready with her spoon to scoop out the insides

 Evan tried helping Daddy...

 Now Brynn...

 Neither one of them was a big fan of the pumpkin guts!

15 months

Evan had his 15 month well check with the pediatrician today and got a clean bill of health.  I can't believe how quickly the time has gone; it seems like I blink and 3 months have gone by!

Lil' man is 22 pounds 13 ounces {25%ile}, 31 1/2 inches tall {62%ile} and his head circumference is 50 1/4 cm {99%ile}.  Yes, you read that right...99% for his head.  Lots and lots of brain activity, that's all I can come up with.  And as you can see he is following in the footsteps of his older sister...tall and thin.  He has slowed down on the weight gain since he started to be mobile, but the doctor isn't concerned about it.

Evan has gotten quite verbal over the last few months. Some of the things he can do/say now:

-Knows the sounds for tiger, puppy, duck, cow, monkey, and bee.

-Knows where his head, eyes, nose, fingers, belly button an toes are.

-Says Mama, Dada, Sissy, nana, ball, hot, thank you {my favorite!}, more, milk, circle, Elmo, water, wow, go, uh-oh, puppy, down, up, hi, bye-bye, no, book, nice, ow, hat, and night-night.
-He hasn't had a bottle in what seems like ages, but I guess we dropped his night time bottle at about 13 months.  And he was totally okay with it!
-He high-fives, blows kisses, plays peek-a-boo, shhh's {brings his finger to his mouth and makes the shhh sound}, dances, walks/runs everywhere, is very destructive, and tries to do everything his sister does!

The little dude is right on track and the doctor is very happy with his development.  Happy {well, except for the pesky shots} and healthy is all I can ask for! 

Big girl dance class

Brynn had her first dance class where the parents aren't in the room today.  I was worried that she would have a hard time without me being right there, but she did great!!  I had visions that I would have to peel her off my legs, but all my worries were very unfounded.

She listened, had fun, followed directions, shared, and did great in her little tap shoes!  She still looks over at the window every now and then to make sure I'm watching though.  It is so cute to watch all the little girls in tutus dancing around and having a great time together.

She loves Rocky soooooo much!  Always asking for kisses, saying "Hi" to him as soon as we get home and "Bye" when we leave.  On the other hand, there are also times when I'm pretty sure she tortures him....not leaving him alone comes to mind!

{And did you notice that lovely bruise on her forehead?  It's pretty hard to miss!  Poor little thing had a nasty spill while we were visiting Target.  It resulted in a ginormous goose egg and turned into that nice colored bruise.}

Tooth numero six

 My loves!

Evan's top right lateral incisor finally decided to make an appearance today!  He is up to six teeth...before we know it he'll be eating steak or maybe he'll need some molars for that!  :)

Haircuts!!!!

Evan was in desperate need of a haircut; his hair was constantly in his face and wouldn't really stay styled.  Brynn heard us talking about another haircut for Evan and declared that she wanted one too!  I figured they could trim a little off the back to even it out some, so I made appointments for them to have their hair cut at the same time.

 Evan is a pro at this now!

He was even so still while they were using the clippers around his neck.

 Watching intently!

 Cheesy smile!

And she still has curls!!!!

 Our two little monkeys!

How did Evan get so big??
