October 2011: Random happenings!

In between all of the pumpkin farms, October was a full month.

We went to visit Granny!

Owen got to meet his second cousins, Jacob and Riley. They were loving Owen, which is good because they are about to have a little baby in their family in a few months.

Owen wanted to feed himself with the spoon, so I got out his mesh feeder. After a few minutes he decided he didn't need hands to eat. He would just suck the sweet potatoes out. This kid kills me!

Our gym has family swim every weekend and since Owen loves the water we thought he would love it. He is so skeptical of things and very serious.

My newborn is gone and I have a baby that sits and plays with toys ALL DAY LONG!

Owen loves when I take photos of his cute outfits. I may have a shopping problem. I don't care. He is a stud!

I am officially caught up with my blog!

October 2011: All things Halloween!

We decided to skip trick-or-treating this year. It would be ridiculous, since Owen is not eating candy and I surely did not want to be responsible for eating it. Instead, I decided to take him to as many pumpkin farms as possible and even a Baby's 1st Halloween party at the Madison Children's Museum.

First stop: Bengsten's Farm in Illinois with my mom and Terese.

Owen sitting in the BIG chair!

Loving the pumpkin pile.

The pumpkins were bigger than him.

I took Owen on the train. He was skeptical of the whole thing and pretty much ready for a nap.

Second stop: Schuster's Playtime Farm

Trying to get Owen's height. Cute photo, but not an accurate way to measure an infant.

Family self-potrait.

Checking out the row of pumpkins. Owen ultimately ended with 4 minis.

Third stop: Baby's First Halloween party.
My little puppy!

Fourth stop: Peck's Farm

Hay tractor.

Checking out the goats.

Scoping out the pumpkins.

Why do they insist I wear this costume?

Family photo time!

Finally, here is a shot of Owen in his Halloween jammies courtesy of Grandma Jeri. Thanks for the bib Auntie Lindsay, since Owen is a drool king.
