More leaf pictures.......

I told you my mommy was crazy!

Playing in the leaves.......

I went over to Grammy and Grandpa's the other day to play in the leaves. Mommy couldn't pick just one picture to post on my blog, so the following is all her doing........

My new wagon

Mommy and Daddy got me this great new wagon for my first birthday! Now I know my birthday actually isn't for another month. Tell my parents that! Daddy really wanted me to have my wagon for Halloween. There they go with the whole "Halloween" thing again. What IS this special day that they speak of? Anyway, I just love my wagon! It is so much fun to sit up like a big boy and see the world. My winter coat, on the other hand, I was not so sure of. I couldn't move in that thing!

Man on the move

Look at me go!

Stand'n tall ......and wet!

I have been standing on my own for a little while now, but Mommy and Daddy never seemed to have the camera ready at the right moment. Here they finally caught me in action. Yeah, I might be a little wet in the bib area, but I'm blaming that on my first top tooth which FINALLY broke through today!

Uncle Josh was in town

That's right, he couldn't stay away from me for too long. Uncle Josh was here this past weekend and I got in a whole afternoon of play time with him. I THOUGHT he was behind this whole "fingers underneath the cabinet door" thing. This picture proves it!

Soooooo tall!

I love playing on Mommy and Daddy's shoulders! I am so tall! Mommy has this weird, long, brown stuff coming out of her head. I'm not too sure what it is, but it sure is fun to play with and pull. Sometimes it gets wrapped around my fingers and Mommy makes a funny sound. It gets my attention when she yelps, so I think I'll keep grabbing it!

Baby playland

I went down and visited another baby a few weeks ago - Emma. She is only a couple weeks older than me and I guess my Mommy has been checking out her website through Aunt Corinne's site. They are friends. That is too confusing for me to think about though. Anyway, Mommy, Daddy, and I went down to Emma's Family Festival and they had a baby playland. I had never seen anything like it. It was all the fun stuff I'm used to playing with inside, but it was OUTSIDE! I had a blast playing with all of her toys, it was nice of Emma to share.

Check out this mohawk!

Am I style'n or what? I am just excited to have enough hair that it shows up in the picture. What? I have something on my chin. Hold on. Did I get it?

Hide and Seek

Can you find me?

Another pumpkin patch?

Seriously, how many pumpkins do Mommy and Daddy think I need? We went to Stony Creek Farm today. It was really cool because Uncle Josh came with us. I liked smacking him in the face with my hat. He was carrying me and I would turn really fast to see something else and I'd smack him in the face with the bill of my hat! He laughed about it though. We had fun listening to the drummers, seeing the ducks in the pond, seeing all the farm animals (I personally liked the bunnies though), swinging on the swings, and of course the hay ride back to the pumpkins.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch at Russel Farms today with Charlie and his parents. I had a blast! Here are some pictures from it. I met all kinds of animals, took a hay ride, picked out a pumpkin, and went through a corn maze! This will be my first Halloween. Mommy and Daddy have been talking about it for months now. They love this "Halloween." Personally I have no idea what they are talking about. They have decided I will be "Yoda." What does that mean, are they changing my name from Carter Bracken to Yoda? It just doesn't have the same ring to it!!!!

Enjoying the weather

Here I am in the grass just before a walk. It was such a beautiful evening. At least that's what Mommy kept saying. Doesn't that sound like something a girl would say?

Charlie and Chloe were right!

This thing is so much more fun to be under than in! I love climbing under my exersaucer and making a fort. Throwing things in and watching them roll around on the bottom of it is fun too!

I'm 10 months old!

Yes, I have left the single digit months for good. I was 10 months old on Saturday, September 30th. What all have I done this month? I have perfected my crawling. I'm a real speed demon now and can chase Mommy and Daddy around the house and crawl just as fast as they do. I can also climb over things with ease. I love to climb up things - look out cats! You are no longer safe on the couch! I have been letting go more and more often when I'm standing and holding onto something. Last week I stood in the middle of the room all by myself and I even took 2 steps. Those haven't happened again since that one time, we will have to see if it is a fluke or if I'm getting ready to actually stand and walk. I'll keep you posted!

Here, Daddy

Daddy, would you like to try one of my Cheerios? Mommy always gives me these weird things after I'm done eating. I've already learned a valuable lesson in life - it's best to share!

Another Mommy Pic

Mommy captured me again!

Ready for work!

Look out everyone, I'm ready to join the working world!

Atlanta Earth Festival

I saw my first train last weekend when Mommy and Daddy took me to the Atlanta Earth Festival. Boy, are there some crazy people up there! There were lots of people pushing around carts. Can you believe it - people actually needing carts to shop at a festival! Here is a question for all of you - what are diabetic socks? That's right, there was more than one booth selling those. Mommy and Daddy were even puzzled and I thought they were the smartest people in the world! I won't even get into the kissing booth with the two girls smearing lipstick all over their face.....

Retro Rocket Take II

I am now RIDING my Retro Rocket - what fun!

Nadden-Nadden

This toy was my Daddy's when he was little. You might wonder about the title to this post.....you will have to ask Daddy about that one!
