Pumpkin Patch 2012

Yesterday we ventured to the pumpkin patch. 

The weather showed us some sign of fall by only being in the low 70's while we were there.

This year was much different from last year.

Nash was overwhelmed with all the different aspects of the farm and did not know where to go first.

So Daddy took him over by the animals.

First he saw the goats,

 then a pony,

and finally ducks.

It was so fun to watch him with the animals as he can say their names and sounds that they make.

We moved on to the "How tall are you this season?" board.

Nash was not sure about the animals on the board.

But then started telling me what the animals were

Do you see "Daddy"?

After we went through all the animals,

We headed over to the pumpkins.

Nash thought they were big balls

He tried to kick them

Pick them up and throw them

All of the sudden a "train" drove by and caught his attention

and Nash was off

He was determined to get on that train.

Which never happened because he was a little too small.

At the farm, they had a big jump jump that was built into the ground.

It was like a big air bubble.

Nash and Chris loved every minute of it.

Nash would do seat drops

He loved to slide down the slope

Lay down and let the other people bounce him

and then run around at the top

After a good 30 minutes on the jump jump, we moved over to the corn box.

At the end, I tried to get some pictures with my munchkin.

So much harder with a toddler

All in All it was a great pumpkin patch day

Baby #3 - 19 Weeks

Yes, I am finally doing weekly posts about this pregnancy. Please excuse how I look, but this is how I am looking most days.

How Far Along: 19 weeks

Size of Baby: About 6 inches long 8.5 oz. She is about the size of a large heirloom tomato.

Total Weight Gain: 4 lbs...however those 4 lbs were in the first 8 weeks of my pregnancy and have not gained any since

Maternity Clothes: Definitely maternity pants

Gender: It is a GIRL!
Movement: Feel lots of movement and Chris was able to feel her last week.  She is a very active baby and gets really excited when Nash is around.

Food Cravings: During this pregnancy, food has not been my friend.  Truly the only thing I actually enjoy eating is Taco Bell and even then I sort of force it down. I am hoping that I start enjoying food again, especially since my favorite time of the year is here.

What I Miss: Energy and my husband every week
Sleep: I have been sleeping ok.
Symptoms: Headaches, queasiness and sharp pains in my lower back and extremely hot.  I have all the fans going and the AC.  People will have to wear a parka in our house.

Best Moment This Week: Spending quiet time with my Nash.
What I Am Looking Forward To: All the crazy things coming to our life over the next few weeks.

Never get a moment to myself with this little guy around

Outsiiiiiiiide

Nash loves to be outside.

He will run to the sliding glass door out back or the front door and yell,

"Outsiiiidddeee"

Over the last few weeks, his favorite place seems to be the rocks on the side of the house.

He think it is so funny to run on the side of the house.

Below are some fun pictures I captured the other day.

Do you understand how hard it is to capture Nash?

He is such a fast little guy.
