More pumpkin

For Grandma Rose - Tasting the pumpkin.

Halloween Prep

We carved our pumpkin tonight. Here is Arthur checking it out.

Petting at the zoo

Here's Arthur and Tomoki petting the animals.

Boo at the zoo

On Sunday we went to the zoo with Scott, Saori, and Tomoki for the Halloween fest.  Here's Arthur in costume with his accessory (dad).

Sitting!

On Wednesday Arthur started being able to sit without support.  He still does a nosedive now and then, but he is able to hold himself up for a while now.

Fall in the mountains

These are a couple of pictures from the top of Amicolola Falls.  The leaves were just starting to change last  weekend when we were there.

Wrapping up the pumpkin farm

Just a few more, because Arthur's mom couldn't resist.

Speak softly and carry a big gourd

Pumpkin farm - with mom and dad

Here are a few family pictures from the pumpkin farm.

Pumpkin Farm

We had fun last weekend at a pumpkin farm.  We picked a very sincere pumpkin that I'm sure we'll feature in a future post.  

We took about a million pictures, so you'll see more of this place in the next few days.

High chair

We're trying to move the kid out of his Bumbo and into the folding highchair and booster seat for meal times.  This will make going out to restaurants much easier, since he really doesn't like sitting in his car seat where he can't see anything.

Here he is trying out the chair that attaches to the table.

Standing table

Here is Arthur balancing by his table toy.  Though we should have realized it, we just discovered he can hold himself up at it without mom or dad's support.

Howdy Doody?

A coat?

 We finally had a day of fall here.  We went up to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and did a little hike.  Arthur got to wear a coat for the first time.

A Chicago night

When Grandma was in town, we got all dressed up and ate Chicago-style pizza for the Bears' Monday night victory.

Checking out the panda

Do you know why the flamingos stand on one foot like that?

Wart with the Warthogs

Stone Mountain with Grandma

Here are pictures of the mountain sculpture from last weekend.  We stayed for the laser show in the evening, but those pictures were too blurry to post.

Waiting for the train to pass

Scavenger hunt

There was a scavenger hunt at the fall festival.  After grandma talked the people into letting us play, we found the answers to all of the clues.  Arthur won a bag of candy that mommy got to eat.  He enjoyed playing with the bag, though.

The Champions

Grandma's back - Pumpkin Fest

Grandma Rose came down for a fall visit.  Here are some pictures from the Pumpkin Festival we went to this weekend.

Daddy's the baby!

My goodness Arthur, what long legs you have.
