I Am the Pumpkin King!




Well, it's been a fun couple of weeks! I cut two more teeth in the past week, and Fall has finally fallen. Since I'm a winter baby, I've been overheated all summer, and now I can finally enjoy hanging out in long sleeves and pants. My new clothes are almost unbearably stylish, aren't they?

I'm getting closer and closer to standing on my own. I can stand up without holding onto anything now, and can stay up for almost ten seconds! Fortunately, all the practice is making me better at falling, too. I hardly ever bonk my head on the floor any more, and Mom and Dad can trust me to play with some of the more advanced toys without constantly shadowing me.


This weekend was pretty cool. On Saturday, Mom and Dad took me to the Waterpark of America. Then they took me home, and I spent the night with Abby while they slept in a hotel. I missed them a little, and they missed me a lot, but we all got through it. Now that I'm sleeping through the night in my crib, once I got to sleep I didn't notice they were gone.

On Sunday, we all went to tromp through the pumpkin patch! We got a big pumpkin for Dad, a smaller one for Mom, and even a little one for me. They had a little petting zoo, too. I wasn't sure about the goats, but I really liked the pig!


Then we went to our friend Claire's house and I got to play with some people closer to my age, for a change! Sofie's really fun, and super-cute...I wonder how she feels about younger guys?


I'll leave you with one of the rare pictures of our whole little family. Are we not lovely?

Fall has fallen!




As you might have noticed, the more mobile I get, the less time I have to sit down and write a blog. I have to keep a couple steps ahead of Mom and Dad at all times, so it wouldn't do to get caught sitting at the computer! These days I'm all over the house -- whether it's crawling across the kitchen floor looking for tiny scraps of food, or the living room looking for tiny scraps of paper, or standing up on the furniture and cruising around until I fall over, or playing with the toilet paper roll in the bathroom, I do try and keep busy.

So what all has happened in the past few weeks? Well, the 16th-19th of September, we went to KoL Con VI in Mesa, Arizona. I got to go to a couple of the Con events, but mostly I hung out with Grandma and Grandpa. It was nice to get in the pool again! Grandma and Grandpa got me all kinds of new toys, as is their right as grandparents, and I really enjoyed spending time with them.



Oh, and I also got to meet my biological father, M.C. Frontalot. We weren't quite sure what to make of each other.


When we got back, Mom and Dad knew that the weather was about to turn cold, so we went and picked up a few items for fall and winter. That's where I got the swell hat in the picture up top. We didn't get anything extravagant; just the essentials.


It's a good thing we did all that shopping, because last week Mom and Dad decided to go to the apple orchard, and picked the coldest, rainiest fall day you can imagine. The apples were big and beautiful, though, and delicious! I got to eat a few slices of apple when we got home, but they still won't let me have any pie. Ah, well.



Mom and Dad finally let me have my room back, and I've taken to sleeping through the night in my crib. That's good, because my room is the warmest room in the house, and theirs is the coldest! Mom and Dad said it'll probably snow soon, so I'm keeping an eye out.


Watch this space!
