Pumpkin Carving

This Halloween Eve, we carved Kyler's pumpkin.

Ky's lion face was on because we went and got his picture taken earlier. He didn't know what to think of that slimy stuff in the pumpkin!

Grandma got a spoon and Ky scooped and scooped the seeds out. Then they would go flying everywhere. It was very entertaining.

You can't tell because of the flash, but this picture is in the dark when we lit up the pumpkin to see its face. Aren't these expressions priceless?

Kyler thought it was so much fun to have the lights off.

And he likes to take off the lid and look inside occasionally.

Of course, he has to put the lid back on. Everything has to be in its place for this little guy.

Here is Kyler with his first carved pumpkin. Yay!

We can't wait to take him trick-or-treating tonight!!!

Halloween Preview!

I had to give up on my idea of a handmade costume. It is just too busy this year with the new house. So we went to the store and decided on a lion costume.

Last night the little lion made his debut at the kiddie carnival at the high school. He was pretty young/uninterested for the most part but he had no problem climbing the ladder and peeking through the hole at Dad.

I'm sure he will love to trick-or-treat because he loves candy. It is his treat to get him to lie still for diaper changes. I know, terrible parenting! Is it any consolation that the first "canny" of the day is a gummy vitamin?

Catch-Up & Pumpkin Farm

Here's a little bit of what we've been up to lately.

First up, tailgating at the K-State vs. Baylor game. He has his backpack and ball cap and is ready to go.

This pic shows how curly his hair can get.

And here he is signing "more."

His favorite thing to watch is his tractor video on Netflix. Don't mess with him when this is on.

And he loves playing with Uncle Brent's old race car that comes apart and goes back together with some tools.

Ky has been a bit of a Mama's boy lately. When he gives me this look, it is hard to not want him at my feet!

The other night he had all his cars lined up on Papa's lap.

And today we went to the pumpkin farm!

It was a beautiful day.

And Ky-man had lots of fun.

He rode on a John Deere tractor trike.

And helped us navigate the corn maze. He kept getting sidetracked by some ears of corn that had been pulled by other visitors.

He fed the goats and saw turkeys, pigs, ponies, and sheep.

We checked out the pumpkins.

And went on a tractor wagon ride.

Daddy thought maybe the tractor wagon was enough...

but Ky insisted on the $1 bucket train ride behind the riding mower.

He was the littlest one on the ride.

He slipped down on one of the bumps and couldn't get out, but once I got him straightened out he did great.

His favorite thing was the slide. I was a little nervous since the big kids were flying down it but Ky thought it was awesome and would laugh and laugh and go right back to the top.

It was a fun day with our big guy.

17 Months

Kyler will be 17 months old this week. He is getting to be a big guy. I took him to the doctor today and he weighed in at 27 pounds. I've been slacking at taking pictures and video lately and I'll try to get on it.
