Fall!

We went to another pumpkin patch this morning and boy did we freeze! Colt sure didn't seem to mind it. He loved the animals, especially the baby pigs and chicks! We went with Geema and Grandpa Mo and had a great time. Colt also got an early birthday present from Grandma Rhonda, a Ford pickup and horse trailer. He is so in love with it that he wouldn't eat dinner unless it was at the table with him. We also had to take it with us to the pumpkin patch.

I put a ton of pics up because they are all so cute and I couldn't narrow them down. Colt was so lucky to have Papa and Grandma Pam come and stay for a few days. He had so much fun. The first thing he said every morning was, "Papa!" We went to a pumpkin patch and Colt loved it. He was able to take a hay rack hide to the pumpkin patch (he only cared about the tractor that was pulling us). He also got to see lots of animals and lots of pumpkins. Grandma Pam bought him a tractor while we were there and he hasn't put it down since. It even goes into the bath tub with him each night.

Colt continues to amaze us every day with how much he knows. He can count to five, and is getting better at knowing his colors. He loves to read books and we read the same one over and over every day. He even has his favorite parts memorized and reads with me. We are still somewhat working on potty training. Colt will go at least once a day, but it totally depends on his mood beyond that.

Colt has really shown an interest in potty training lately so we decided to go for it this weekend. He really LOVES his Elmo undies. He will go potty every time I sit him on the toilet, but he also went on the ottoman so I think we have a long way to go.

We had a great Labor Day weekend, just the three of us. We went over to some friends house on Saturday night, and Colt got to meet Mateao, who is a week younger than him. They had a great time. Sunday, Mike and I went out on a date, and Colt went over to Sara's house to play with James. He had so much fun I didn't think we were going to get him home. Sara also has a puppy named Koda, so all weekend Colt has been calling for Koda. Mike thinks we now need a puppy. We will see!

Here are a few random pictures from the last couple of weeks. Things are good here. Colt is obsessed with the vacuum. That is all that he wants to play with right now. I bought him a toy one, but he still wants the real one. He pushes it around the house all day long. He is really talking well. Every morning I hear him say, "Momma, are you?" on the monitor. I go in to get him and he tells me hi and to turn on his light. He is doing really well in his big boy bed. He still rolls out of it every once in awhile. He is getting his 2 year molars so he has been a little cranky this week. His Geema and Grandpa Mo are coming to visit this weekend so he is getting really excited.

Colt had so much fun in NE. He insisted on carrying his own bag at the airport and screamed every time I tried to help him. He liked looking out of the window on the plane too. He had a lot of fun playing with his cousins. I think his favorite part of the trip was the gator rides to check the cows. He mooed at them and everything. He kept dragging Geema to the garage to take him on the gator.

These pics are out of order. My little helper is making it somewhat difficult today. Colt has learned to scream, pick his nose, and play in the toilet all this week! He is keeping us very busy. We went to the petting zoo, the KC Zoo, had a a visit from Grandpa Kurt. We are planning on going back to NE for the 4th of July. Colt is really excited to play with all of his cousins.
