Tuckered out

At home after a bottle, we fell asleep. Don't you think Graham and I have similar profiles? Fabulous! Good night!

pumpkin patch 1: Shady Brook Farms

Our first pumpkin patch of the day. We did not start out with going to more than one in mind, but it happened to work this way and you will see why. Anyway, we headed to a farm called Shady Brook Farm, if you could call it a farm. We got there and made it to the tractor, which you saw photos of already. We got out to the pumpkin patch and settled Graham down amongst pumpkins and what does the kid do first? He grabs dirt, totally bypassing the beautiful pumpkins that he is surrounded by. You can see it above, dirt first, pumpkins later.


Then, What?! Orange pumpkins everywhere, I am so excited! His onesie has Darth Vader on it holding a light saber saying, Let's carve pumpkins. We loved it and thought today would be appropriate for it's first wear. And we all wore hats, or a hood in my case, today. A bit windy but a beautiful day.


Brett is showing Graham how pumpkins can also be used as a bongo.


He caught on. He is so cute. And a shout out to our friend Jenni. She made Graham this hat before he was born, and we could not love it more. We are so glad we have the hat and it is the perfect hat for his head right now. Thanks Jenni!


Graham is in orange heaven.

We tried to hard all day to get him to look up for pictures, which as many of you know, is impossible with a baby. Brett thought standing up on a pumpkin would work. It did...kinda.

Such concentration while looking at the pumpkins. You can see his outfit better too. He looks like his head is on Darth Vader's body, how cool is that!

Aerial shot of Graham in his pumpkin place. He is about the size of the pumpkins!

Graham with Brett. He would not look up. So, we got some great photos of each of us with Graham looking at the pumpkins.

We finally wizened up and took a shot with the camera on the ground (nice idea Brett). It worked. You can also see how gorgeous of a day it was. This also meant everyone and their brother were at the patch. (eww that sounded gross)

Graham and me. How much does he look like he has a Mohawk? He doesn't, it just happens like this. We are on our way out at this point.

Family photo on the tractor on our way back. Graham was fussy and hungry so they let us off the tractor first. We did not pick a pumpkin here because of two reasons: 1) The place did not feel of a farm and 2) we didn't want to have to carry Graham and a pumpkin back to the car.
We left the farm not long after we got there. I was kinda disappointed, but Brett reassured me we had a good time and we did want we wanted: we got Graham on a tractor and in a pumpkin patch.

Side note:

Some of you may know, I find the word patch, to freak me out. I don't like saying it, or hearing it said. In college, there was an entree called Veggie Patch Pizza. How gross does that sound? Since then, I have not been a fan of the word patch. I know I used it alot in this post, and several others, but I just want to reassure Kristen, that yes, that word still gives me the heebe jeebes. :D

pumpkin patch 2: a church

There is a church nearby our house, the name totally escapes me, and they made their own pumpkin patch in a courtyard. It looked so darn cute and on our way home from the first patch, I asked Brett to drive by so I could get the hours so we could on Monday night. The wonderful ladies told us to come on in, even though it was after hours. They were fabulous! We had to change Graham's outfit due to it being droolified, and we thought this onesie was appropriate. He also matches the pumpkins! This time, he got to see what hay was all about. We even let him taste it a little.


Hay or straw? I don't know the difference but nonetheless, he got to try it. I think we all felt more relaxed here. This place was so cute!



The eyes on the bat on his onesie are buttons!

Again, I gave him a Graham sized pumpkin and he is still interested in the straw.

Can you find Graham? It is almost hard to see him.

Yeah, he looked up! Priceless!

He is standing up behind a pumpkin holding onto it. This cute little girl loved Graham, and Graham loved looking at her. We used her to get Graham to look at the camera. Thanks little girl!

He is so cute...and the pumpkins were way bigger!

Here he is sitting on a bale of hay. He looks like such a big boy! The ladies were behind me clapping and saying his name. It totally worked and he made their day.

A wonderful shot of Graham and Brett. I love it. The ladies were behind me on this one too. :D

He loves standing on the pumpkins!
Here, we bought a pumpkin to carve, and little pumpkins that are Graham size. We ended up leaving here feeling fabulous with a car full of pumpkins. The ladies were so nice, and the money raised goes to help their church. We ended the day on a high note. And on another side note, we had the cutest two mornings ever. We all got up, hung out and ate, and then took a nap, all three of us, for 1.5-2 hours each time. Graham fell asleep on Brett and I held hands with them both. It was so perfect. Brett said Graham and I got into the same breathing pattern...which is so neat! Yeah for family time. What a great weekend!

another post about poop

It has just turned 7 am, and Graham has had not 1, but 2 poops! And guess who got to clean both of them up....ME! I swear this kid makes sure I get all of his poops that happen during the week. He is a great pooper, going from 2-3 times a day. That is a lot of poop people. One day, he only went twice, and I was thinking, sweet, Brett will get the last one tonight. No no no, Graham let one go before I had to leave for work and I could not let him sit in it. Oh well, I am getting really good at cleaning up his poop.
