Pumpkin Patch

We had lots of fun going to the pumpkin patch this week! I am just beyond myself excited to start yearly traditions with our complete family of four.

 

 

We are 3/4 of the way to being one year olds!

I cannot believe I have 9 month old babies.

Actually, 9 1/2 month old babies!

Right now Mason waves and he gives kisses. Every time we walk in the room he puts his hand up like he's saying hi to us. Can you say cutest thing ever? We caught him clapping during Mickey Mouse Clubhouse when the hot dog song came on. He about melts my heart when he gives me his slobbery open mouthed kisses. I tell him thank youuuuuuuuu and he give me the biggest smiles. I want to cry just thinking about it! He also is doing the funniest noises, like a car. He goes vrrrooooom vrooooooom, especially when we're driving in our car -- it's like he recognizes the noise the car makes and imitates it.

Madilynn is a high-five master! She looooooves giving high fives! She also does the sound of a kiss, but will not give kisses... my little stubborn mini me! *edit* She gave my mom kisses over and over last night (10/13) and she still won't give them to me (**edit again** 10/14 she finally gave me kisses!!)! She also waves by sticking her arm in the air. She's very intrigued with things and likes to make toys "work". We have this little car track that you pull the gear shifter and it makes the cars start moving -- she loves turning that on.

They have three teeth each, two bottoms and one top, and Mason has his fourth coming through. Both of them are pretty good sleepers, we are really lucky. Even with this cold minus a few rough nights they sleep all the way through and love to sleep... Madilynn a little more so than Mason. They both are getting braver while standing. They will let go or go from holding onto one thing to another. They are SO getting ready to rock and roll around the house on their two little feet. We set up our spare bedroom with some of their bigger toys that take up our entire family room and they absolutely love having that as their play space.

They interact more and more as they are getting older. When one of them wants to go play in a different room or roam the hallway, they will do this loud yell/call to the other one and they quickly both start following each other. It's pretty hilarious. They also love when we say "I'm going to get you!" but they usually run towards us not away from us... they are so cute.

This past weekend we  had our first official "pass the cold around to everyone in the entire house so everyone feels miserable at the same time" sickness. We ended up taking them both to the Dr. yesterday just to make sure that they didn't have any infections going on and they confirmed it's just a cold.

I'm slowly beginning to plan their first birthday. I don't know where this year went but holy cow, it's coming fast! I'm excited for this time of year to start our family traditions and to enjoy lots of time with our families for the holidays! We are off to the pumpkin patch today as a matter of fact!

Did I mention we officially can do PIGGIES NOW?!

Cutest. PJs. EVER.

Slicked back hair for their Grampa!
