18 months

Happy 18 month birthday my sweet pea. Your sweetness continues to make life perfect. Thank you for being the light of our life! Kisses and hugs and love, Mama

Lombardi Ranch Fun!

We made our way out to Lombardi Ranch yesterday for a good old fashioned harvest fest. What a difference from last year when we ventured with 6 month old Colin, propping him up to take pictures next to the pumpkins. This year our active 18 month old raced in the pumpkin patch! He also loved attempting to pick up the pumpkins (some of which were as big as he was), visited the petting zoo, rode the "choo choo" and munched happily on corn on the cob. Our little pumpkin was tuckered out by the end of such a fun day!

Fall

October has always been one of my favorite months as the weather starts to shift and we near the holidays. October also reminds me of a couple amazing trips to Boston when we were able to visit during the prettiest time of year! We loved watching the leaves change and the beauty of the city! Thank you Mary for sending a little piece of Boston to Colin too :)

Back in the swing

It's been a harried few weeks, but I'm starting to feel human again and happy to not be on the go after 5 - no, I'm not exaggerating - 5 weekends in a row out of town. And 4 of which with a 17 month old... yikes. But we are home and staying put for a while so I can breathe. In the meantime, our little guy is more verbal than ever which is incredibly fun... our new favorite being his first sentence: "I Fuv _____" (dada or mama)... It's the sweetest, most precious thing in the world.

Now that we are back and settled, we can reflect on a some of our trips which included an afternoon at Sea World which was such a delight. Watching Colin light up at the toys and sea life and his favorite, the penguins, brought tears to my eyes (and yes, papa's too)... A special day which also included Grandpa, Noni and Cici.
