Pumpkin Patch



Last week, Paul, my dad, and I drove the kids out to Sweet Berry Farm, a large pumpkin patch in Marble Falls. Sweet Berry Farm not only has pumpkins, but you can also stuff your own scarecrow, paint pumpkins, go on a hayride, make your way through a corn maze, and even pet goats! Addison had a great time picking out some pumpkins and painting her own pumpkin. She also helped us stuff a scarecrow, which is now sitting on the swing on our front porch. The scarecrow, whom we have yet to name ... has already freaked me out a couple of times when I open the front door and the porch light is off at night.

We tried to get Addison on the hayride, but she kept yelling "NOOOoo!" and wouldn't get close to the tractors. That surprised me because she loves tractors... maybe it was the cowboy driving the tractor? I'm not really sure, but I figured if we are doing this for her and she doesn't want to go... why push it. So, we returned our hayride tickets and opted to feed the goats instead.

When we left Addison said "I had fun Mommy, I had fun!" it was very cute. We will definitely have to make this a tradition. Here are some pictures Paul and I took while at the pumpkin patch!

Jack's One Month Doctor Appointment


I've been falling behind on the blog posts!

Jack's one month doctor's appointment went very well. He now weighs 9 pounds 1 ounce and was 20.5 inches long. The doctor said he looked great! He's been sleeping about 2 hours at a time (or goes about 2 hours between feedings). He sleeps one 3 hour stint and then is up every one and a half to two hours after that at night. Now at 6 weeks he is starting to stay awake more often and loves to look at the fan, wall and clock (much like Addison did). He is also starting to smile, and laughs loudly in his sleep. Jack also will coo, or cry in his sleep.

Addison is doing much better with the transition. She does not try to hit or grab Jack anymore and loves to give him kisses and help feed him. Addie also is very protective of Jack. When I take him with me to pick up Addison, many of the toddlers in Addie's class surround his car seat. Addison gets pretty mad and pushes the kids back and tells them "No!" I always tell her that it's ok if they look... but she continues to push the kids away. Addie is also pretty big for her age so when she pushes she can be rough!

I can't believe how similar Jack and Addison looked at this age! Here are some more pictures to compare. Jack is on the left and Addie is on the right.


Are These Two Related? Wow.


Jack on the left at almost 6 weeks, and Addie on the right at about 6 weeks.

Addie Hides in the Bushes

Addie loves to play outside. This fact,combined with her new found opposition, and favorite word "no," makes it difficult to get her to come back inside!

UT Family

Addison knows all the football signs and now uses "holding" for when she wants to hold something. She also likes to say "Hook em Horns!"
