Welcome Fall!

Look at Savannah's expression.  And yes, Seth has his toothbrush.  Sometimes he won't give it up.

Seth's new table and chair.  Yes, he has to eat from a Dora plate and with a Dora fork, just like Savannah.

Beautiful girl when you ask her to smile

He is eating and waving and only sitting because Savannah is with him and he happens to really like ravioli. 

Saying hi with a mouthful

Don't ask why Savannah is wearing Christmas pajamas (I don't).  Sweet picture though.

Since Savannah started school Seth is always hugging her and holding onto her.

Doing stickers before school.  Seth climbed up on her chair and worked his way in

How sweet

She wanted to sit like Seth with the same exprssion.  I think they did it.

Fall has officially started today and there is a chill in the air, leaves are falling, Pumpkin Spice Latte is brewing at Starbucks.  We are in a full school routine and we know have a 4 1/2 year old living with as well as an 18 month old.  Hard to believe in 6 months Seth will be 2 and Savannah will be 5.  Savannah continues to thrive in school and is loving it.  It is such a positive environment for her.  I am so happy.

We went to Disney on Ice Toy Story 3 on Sunday and both kids loved it.  We are headed up to Saratoga Springs on Sunday, since Savannah has off on Monday.  We just love it there.  Fall is our favorite time of year.  We are looking forward to getting our pumpkin in a few weeks.

Seth's language is really blossoming.  It is so exciting to see it develop so young.  He answers yes and no questions very clearly, he understands and responds to 2 part commands, and says lots of words and also will have a whole coversation in his own language.  Seth is also loving the novelty of walking and will not sit for 2 seconds.  Going out to dinner is going to have to be on hold for awhile.  Lots of take out.

Halfway to TWO!

This is how much fun Seth had on his 1/2 Birthday --Happy 18 Months Seth

What could be better than a children's museum with CARS!

Peek a boo, I see you

Bye Seth!  This was one of his favorites.

I can't hardly believe that Seth is 18 months already.  It feels like yesterday he was 18 days.  The time is going too fast and I would like to slow it down, but this boy is roaring to go, grow, learn, explore and discover, so I don't think I can do so.  To celebrate his 1/2 birthday we got together with Seth's two Itsy Bitsy Yoga buddies and went to KidCity, which is a fantasic local kid's museum.  Since it was 59 degrees and raining, we opted for an inside activity.  We also went to lunch at It's Only Natural, a delicious vegatarian cafe.  We had a wonderful time with friends and our big boy had so much fun at the museum that we got a season pass so we can go again and again.

A Day On the Farm with the Apples of Our Eyes

I have a pear

Peek a boo Seth.  He did not understand to put his head through at first and just kept peeking around.

Look who is walking like a big boy.

My new favorite photo--so sweet

Seth will no longer sit in a highchair.  Trying the big boy booster at a restaurant.  He did pretty well.

Walking around with Daddy without holding hands.

Loving the hay

This is fun

Wow! A window in the hay maze

He was so proud of himself making his way

That pumpkin is bigger than you

Who is that?  It's not a scarecrow, is it?  Is that Savannah? YES!

Cutuest pumpkin in the patch

In the Fall spirit we went to two local farms and went to a petting zoo, hay maze and then to the orchard to pick apples and pears.  There were supposed to be pony rides and face painting, but I guess since it was opening day for the Fall Festival, they were not totally set up yet.  We had lots of fun and the afternoon was enjoyed on a glorious September day.
