Our little pumpkin

Roanin is going to be a pumpkin for his 1st Halloween, but when we went to try it on a few days before the big reveal, we found out that his growth spurt had taken it's first victim -- his costume. The pumpkin suit is too small...but we shoved him into it for a few pictures in the yard with the fall leaves. Notice his sleeves are 3/4 length now. Hee, hee....our little giant.

Checking out the competition (other pumpkins...)

Mom...the sun is in my eyes.

Happy Pumpkin!

I'm CRAFTY!!

I recently got super-domestic and made my own babyfood out of treats from our garden. Roanin loves the fresh baby food! Watch out Martha..... Butternut squashApricot baby food from our tree.

Hello Fall!

Happy Fall everybody! We took Roanin to a little pumpkin patch to take some fall pictures. He was more interested in the straw and hay than the actual pumpkins. His best Pumpkin Grin. Deep in thought....

What a handsome little man.

Obsession with the straw.....
The ladies who owned this nursery were going nuts over Roanin while he was posing in front of this ghost "BOO" sign. I wasn't sure if we were going to make it out of there with the kid or not.

You have seen one pumpkin, you have seen them all. I'm bored with this Mom & Dad. Let's get outta here...

IT'S SNOWING!!!!

Roanin was out this morning enjoying his THIRD snowstorm so far in his life (if you can believe that -- and it is only October 6th!). It has been snowing really hard ever since we got up this morning, so we took the little guy out to enjoy it. We could barely get him to look at the camera...he was obsessed with the white flakes. Last Saturday it snowed pretty hard as well. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Baby blue eyes.

Roanin recently graduated to a high chair to eat his cereal and baby food. He now eats rice, oatmeal, carrots, peas, squash and sweet potatoes. Fruits are next on the list!

Chunky!!!!

Family Trip to Nebraska

We recently took a little family road trip to Nebraska (we were in the mood for some corn). Roanin did so well on the trip....we had about 10 hours in the car each way, and he hardly cried and really had a lot of fun with his parents. We were pretty proud of him.

Roanin's newest obsession is to copy his parents by drinking (or mauling) the lids of bottles. He thinks he is pretty hot because he can hold the bottles on his own. He had more fun with this Sprite bottle than any toy we brought on the entire trip.
Mom and Ro Ro taking advantage of the pool in the hotel. Roanin loves swimming. He cried when we took him out of the pool. Check out the new speedo. He has graduated from full swimming trunks to the sexy speedo.
