Pumpkin Fest

We had a great time at Pumpkin Fest over the weekend. It was very very cold and blustery! 

Abigail and Daddy are checking out the scene in downtown Franklin. 

This pumpkin weighs 1,000+ lbs!

Pumpkin Patch!

We had a great time this year at Gentry's Farm. This year we went into the activity area, which we did not do last year, and she was able to see some goats, roosters, and pigs. She enjoyed pouring wheat in a trough and wanted to go down any slide we came across, even if it was for much bigger kids. We were able to find a collection of pumpkins already in a wheelbarrow, (similar to last year) for our annual pumpkin photo shoot. Grandmama and Grandaddy came into town for this special event since they loved it so much last year!

Here is a flashback! Abigail's first visit to the Pumpkin Patch last year.

 Abigail's favorite thing was pouring wheat at a trough station. She could hardly be torn away from doing this! She was hesitant at first, but ended up loving going into the hay maze. 

Mommy held her and took her through. Everything was alright once she found the slide. 

Abby wheee!! She LOVES slides!

Then Abigail and Grandmama took turns crawling through this tube!

 

 And she loves running! Here she is taking off in the field!

She is so pensive here organizing these pumpkins. . . 

Here's to another great year at the Pumpkin Patch at Gentry's Farm. Happy Fall Y'all!

Abigail continues to amaze us each and every day. I was told this week when I picked her up that she would probably be the first to move up to the next class because she is talking so much!

She is growing up so fast and continues to be quite verbal. Today was the day of two word phrases. She can finally say "more please" instead of just more, and without a huge pause between the two words. She loves to say, "I go", and "Abby_____ ", fill in the blank with nouns such as bow, book, water, etc.

Her first three word phrase was "I love you" (more like I ya you). When we put her in bed she always says, "night night, ya you", and more often this is voluntary, and not just repeating what we say. Today she said "purple bike JoJo" when we talked about how Uncle Joel came over and pushed her on her purple bike.

                                

Her favorite color is purple, or rather, that is always her first guess when we ask what color something is. Her next guess is always blue, and third, yellow. She loves to talk about "Bugsy" the guinea pig in her sunday school nursery room and she get tickled when she sees a picture of a guinea pig in her picture book. She loves to help buckle herself into her car seat and she wants to be involved in as many real life events as possible.
