Lincoln's First Pumpkin Patch


Despite Lincoln's stoic faces in virtually all of these pictures, he really liked the pumpkin patch/farm experience. My sister Annie is in town so we met at the local family farm for some fun. Grandma came along too. We actually never made it to the actual pumpkins (they are still in the field) because Annie's girls were getting hungry and I didn't have the strength to do it on my own since my arms are officially broken after CrossFit. But, there were lots of little activities for the kiddos and Lincoln especially loved playing in the dirt. He also liked the horses and bunnies.

Lincoln was also loving the dried corn. He wanted to eat it, much to my dismay.
There was a workbench thing and he loved just standing there, even though he looks bored as ever here. He has a workbench at home thanks to Aunt Jamie and Uncle John, which is his absolute favorite toy. Ever.
He also liked the dirt filled kitchen that was up in a fort thingamajig. He ate some awesome dirt pies. Nice.
On a slightly unrelated note, Grandma bought him a wiggle racer. It says it's "not suitable for children under 3," but we figured those are more like guidelines anyway. He loves it! As do his mom and dad....


Let Them Be Little


Time goes by and babies become toddlers in an instant. Lincoln turned one on September 29. I feel as I the older I get, the faster time goes. I know that is so cliche, but it is so true, especially now that we have a little one. I can't believe he is already a year old. We had a little party with his cousins at a park in our new neighborhood. He loved his new toys, the cupcake, and playing at the park.





It's amazing to watch them go from this:



to this:
in a heartbeat.
