New do

Conrad and I tried out some new hairstyles in the bathtub a couple of nights ago. You like?

He definitely likes drinking bathwater out of that cup. I wasn't quick enough to get pictures of that.

Dizzy busy bee

Hope you enjoy the video. Conrad definitely had us laughing with his antics last night. This video is a bit reminiscent of the video of him first walking.

Other Notables

Here is a run-down of other things going on at our house. Conrad is quite the little caretaker. He loves playing with his "baby" = Jill's old cabbage patch doll. He has learned to open the drawer below the oven and enjoys playing with the lids and dragging them around the house. We also changed his carseat to forward-facing and as the picture indicates, he is loving it!

Pumpkin Patch

I really, really wanted to start the tradition of going to a pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. The first patch we tried had already closed but Dad came to the rescue with the hunch of another one in nearby. Conrad was happy to chill in his now forward-facing carseat for the ride.

The pumpkin patch was more than I could hope for. Piles and piles of pumpkins, hay bales and scarecrows. All of this complete with a Conrad size fence and lights on a string. Conrad loved running around the patch and even met a four-legged friend. She was so sweet with Conrad. He was content to follow her and her family around the patch.

Yes, we paid more for his pumpkin then say the $4 pumpkins at the grocery store. But, the extra money was well worth the family time and fun we had searching for our pumpkin. What Halloween traditions do you have?

Fall Festival

We had a dress rehearsal for Halloween at Conrad's Fall Festival on Friday. He, surprisingly, only tried to take off his costume one time! He participated in most of the activities: the duck pond, the fishing pond, the photo booth and the cake walk (he won on his first try!).
