To the Pumpkin Patch we go

Kieran and I have been very good about going on weekly dates and that seems to be the only time we really spend with each other all week. This week we decided to do something as a family and went to the pumpkin patch to pick out Becca's first pumpkin. We held up different baby pumpkins in front of her and she actually reached for the one she wanted. There was a petting zoo and hay rides and a corn kernel pit to play in. It was so much fun! I was more excited than she was but now we have a great memory of her first real holiday.

She is getting so big! Every day she learns new things. She has started talking non-stop, more like gabbing but we still try to carry on conversations with her. She also laughs now, something that brings me more joy than I could have imagined. Its so fun to just sit and watch her explore this big world around her. I can't wait for the holidays to be here and to share them with her. Its going to be tough not spending any more on her for christmas, I've already spent over my budget and its only October!

Doesn't she look so proud!

She didn't reallly know what to think about the animals

Uncle Jakob is always doing this, I told him for Halloween he should be a man with a baby looking tumor growing on his chest.
