Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Today, Coby and I met up with our good friends Natalie, Max, and Kate. It is so fun to have three little ones so close together in age. Natalie is a good friend from Neal Middle School and before that from Starbucks. She is the reason I ended up in the classroom at Neal, but that is a whole other story. Anyhow, we both ended up pregnant at the same time~ her with twins, and me with just Coby :) Max and Kate were born in early February and Coby came just over five weeks later. We have had so much fun using one another as a great resource for finding deals, surviving challenges, and just plain having fun. Today was one of those times~ pictures at the Ganyard Hill Pumpkin Patch just a mile from Neal. It was a GORGEOUS day outside and we had such fun pushing our strollers through the patch and taking pics of all of the kids. It was a great afternoon!

Getting all three to even think about smiling or looking at the camera proved to be impossible. Especially since Coby was completely taken with Kate~ she was such a good sport as he tried to play with her.

Max and Kate are GREAT subjects~ they get lots of practice smiling for the camera :) So much fun to play with and capture their smiles!

Coby thought the pumpkins were so much fun to explore!

So sweet!

Crawl

Coby certainly doesn't need us to get around anymore! We can hardly keep up with him! Enjoy this...

Six months old (really now it is seven, but I am catching up)

Sept. 16, 2009~ Six Months:

• 19lb 19.5 oz. Yes, that is huge~ 85th percentile, but I could kiss each and every roll all day long. That is if I could slow him now long enough to catch him.
• On that very day, Coby started crawling and broke his first tooth. Days later came tooth number two~ side by side on the bottom- we keep trying for good pics, but he loves that tongue.
• Pulling up on everything~ he is fearless. He lets go and tries to stand; he always falls, but he tries.
• Crawling like a pro now~ all over the house.
• Loves to play peek-a-boo around the table, couch, crib, pretty much anything.
• Still loves walks.
• Eating has expanded to include Baby Mum Mum rice rusks. So cute to watch him chipmunk chew them. Sticky fingers when he is done though.

Those are some updates for you. Now for the real treat~ pictures...

A Fun Weekend

I promise a post this week with all the updates from the past month, but I couldn't resist posting some pics now from our weekend in the mountains. Alain, Coby, and I had a wonderful time despite the rain and clouds up in Asheville and then Mt. Mitchell this weekend. It was amazing! Loving the fall here...
