10 Months Old!

On October 29th, Gage turned 10 months old. Can you BELIEVE it?? I certainly can't. Wow how our life changed in the past 10 months, but only for the better. We love you Gage. Here are few 10 month milestones.

-Sleeps from 7pm till between 6-7am.
-Nurses only three times a day now.
-Eats lots more table food. Some of his favorites are sandwich turkey meat, Gerber graduate cereal bars, wheat bread, bananas, and Nilla wafers.
-He will stand on his own, but not take any steps yet.
-He pulls to stand on everything.
-Loves to be outside!!
-He will clap, and give you high five.
-He's a lot more vocal.
(I'm sure there are more things I am forgetting, but time is of the essence when he is napping!!)

Recent Play Dates!

Gage has recently had some impromptu play dates! We are so blessed to have kiddos around that are about his age. On Monday, we went to Meacham's house and let the boys play, and then went for a long walk around the neighborhood. On Tuesday, Ryder's Daddy was raking a big pile of leaves for him to play in, so we took Gage over there and the two of them had so much fun! Gage was cracking up every time Ryder would move or play in the leaves. Thanks guys for all the fun!

Park and Pumpkin Carving

The weather this weekend was absolutely beautiful so we decided to take advantage of it. We packed a picnic lunch, and headed out to Hafer Park for a little lunch, swinging, and feeding the ducks. When we came home from the park, Daniel wanted to carve his first pumpkin with Gage. Daniel was very into it, and Gage thought touching the "pumpkin guts" was pretty cool, but he began to have a melt down and was ready for nap time so Daniel finished it without his little helper. It turned out really cool. Good Job Daniel! It looks like we have a family tradition started!! (Sorry the pictures are uploaded backwards, and I don't have time to fix it because little man is waking up from his nap.)

It's beginning to look a lot like FALL!!

October in Oklahoma is in full swing and fall is in the air. Everyday, Gage and I go out for a walk (when the weather allows) and enjoy the outdoors. Gage is so content outside and is such an outside kiddo. We try to take advantage of these pretty days because we know winter is fast approaching and we are going to have to find things inside to keep up entertained.
We were out walking today and I was just looking around at all the beautiful fall colors on the trees. Being from Houston, we never saw a change in tree color around there. They kinda went from green to brown, to fallen off. But up here, you really get to see true fall colors. The wind was blowing like crazy today, so I thought before all the leaves are gone, I should capture some of these colors. I also took a few of Gage in the leaves and the front of our house all decorated for fall! Happy Fall Ya'll!!

Gigi's Visit!

My mom came to visit for a few days and to babysit for Daniel and I while we went to the U2 concert. On the Saturday she was here, we went to the park for a few hours and took some pics.

Fingerpainting in the Bathtub!

It's starting to get much cooler here in Oklahoma, and we are trying to find some fun activities to do inside. My friend Amanda (mymommiesfavoritefinds-yocumotion.blogspot.com) finger paints with her son in the bathtub all the time, so I thought I would try it with Gage. He got quite messy, but that's what made it fun. We did it right before bath time, so all we had to do was strip him down and clean him off right in the tub. I think Gage really enjoyed it.

Halloween Tricks and Treats!

Gage is very lucky to be blessed with four sets of Grandparents and two of them sent him some Halloween goodies last week! He received a package in the mail from Grampie and Bebe last Thursday and couldn't wait to open it. Then, Gigi came on Friday and also brought him some treats. Here are a few pics of him opening his Tricks and Treats! Thanks Grandparents for the thoughtful Halloween gifts! Happy Halloween!
