The Pumpkin Patch...and an Update!

Last Saturday we took Colin to his first pumpkin patch, and we had a great time! I'll have to post those details and photos another day, but today I wanted to post some great pictures from a pumpkin patch we visited yesterday with our Mommies group. We got some terrific photos I just had to share! Those are a bunch of Colin's friends. Please note in the last photo all the others are sitting nice and still for the group photo and my little man is off and running!

I also wanted to update you all on something else very exciting. Most of you know we've been teaching Colin "baby signs." It is basically sign language for babies, so they can communicate better with us dumb adults. There is a sign for "all done" where you shake both of your hands in the air. I do this several times a day to signify that we are done doing a particular task. On Monday when I was putting Colin to bed, we finished reading our book and I said "All done," and made the sign...and Colin did too! He shook his little hands right along with me. And he didn't stop there. The next day I feed him breakfast and when he finished, I said "All done?" and made the sign, he just looked at me. I said "More?" and made the sign for that, again, he just stared at me. So I said, "All done?" and made the sign again, this time he made the sign too, and then made his sign to be picked up (reaching both arms in the air and open and closing his fists). Needless to say, we are very excited, it is going to help tremendously knowing what our little guy is trying to tell us!

Stay tuned for more pictures from the other pumpkin patch, the state fair, and our vacation last month!
