Yearly Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Just for comparison sake.... this was last year.... Zander was only able to sit up at the time.

This year.... Zander was practically running to get into the pumpkin patch.  He had fun picking up his own pumpkins (a.k.a. "ball") and would even try to throw some of them on the ground or at mommy to catch them since he was convinced they would bounce like a ball should. 

 

 This is the throwing to mommy I was describing earlier....

Grannie and GranDan came to visit us for dinner one night last week!  Zander loves having them around and showing them all of his toys.  He also enjoys drinking from Grannie's straw and giving hugs to Grannie and GranDan.  Zander has learned this new thing where if you say "give me a hug".... he will hug your neck just as hard as he can! I absolutely love it!! It is my new favorite thing!
