I have some new projects to share today with Crate Paper's products. I have been looking forward to fall so much that I wanted to make a page with last year's annual hayride photos that my parents have done for many years. Naturally I used the Farmhouse collection which is perfect for Fall or even Halloween.
The weather is not quite fall-ish for me! But it is a little cooler in the mornings. Which makes me happy. I have been extra excited for this fall and I am not sure why I am so excited. I think it may be due to this awful summer in the heat. I mean sweating in my home because we have awful cooling!! Or the hot chocolate, roasted marshmallow, wearing a jacket... And the fact that this weekend we went to the La Union Corn Maze in New Mexico.
It was rather warm, but we really enjoyed all the activities. Ruger LOVED it so much! He did not want to leave. I think the only reason we got him out to the car was because he was so tired from all the excitement and fell asleep on the way home! He got to walk the corn maze with us, pet and feed the farm animals, play in a huge sand box, slide on slides, ride the hayride, pick at the pumpkin patch, ride the cows, bonce on the bouncy thingy, and ate roasted corn. And there is still a lot of fall left to go!!!
My sweet little baby is getting so big. He has gone from this...
4 months
to a very busy little toddler in just one year!
16 months
Right now he...
gets into everything.
loves food. A favorite is bananas.
has his own language, that for the life of me, I can not understand.
scratches himself so much that I must keep clothes on him.
thinks everything is a phone. It could be a lens cap, hair dryer plug in, etc. I love how he holds it on his shoulder.
loves to get his teeth brushed.
knows how to pitch a little tantrum.
has a awesome forced laugh.
has A LOT of teeth.
can say dada. And for the most part that is about it. He can shake his head no and yes. Yes is putting his chin to his neck (love!). He can give the sign for "all done" & "more."
loves to give kisses. Blow them or on the face.
found the joy of stickers.
grows in independence everyday.
laughs and talks a lot!
And we can't get enough of him.
here is the video of him with the hair dryer from last night. It is long. I did not have time to edit it.
I have a one year old! Sometimes I wonder where the time has gone, but I know where it has gone. I have done a lot to get here. Though one year passes fast.
R is so sweet. He just learned how to give kisses.
He is very vocal!
He still is working on walking.
He loves to entertain by making noises, laughing, and shaking his head.
He is still small for a one year old at 17 lbs.
He is a super speed crawler.
He always cuddles with me.
He is now 12 months old.
Here is his invite to the party Card- Lenora Standford
