Fall is Here!

I have a lot of pictures to share for this post because I just couldn't narrow down what I wanted to put out there! Sam and I just have so much fun!

Here Sam is showing off his pulling up and standing skills. He is starting to walk a little while holding onto hands and furniture. He is also almost always crawling on his hands and knees now too. Sorry Uncle Jay, the army crawl is just about gone!

Practicing my Captain America moves!

Sam playing with the kitchen. If he is left alone here (which I don't let happen very much), he can play for a LONG time opening the doors, banging the dishes, etc.

G&G Hyland stayed in a hotel for a couple nights near us, and it had a pool! We had so much fun playing in it and I asked to go again! We were very tuckered out after our nights in the pool.

Daddy got to join us the first night, and we both had fun splashing Mommy!

During their stay, G&G were in charge of Flat Stanley for Samuel (another Samuel). I got my picture taken a few times with him.

 Friday night, I went right to pool and started to go in before anyone else was set to go!

 Grandma and Sam with Flat Stanley. Sam was a fish! He loves the water and pretty much made it the whole time we were in the pool both nights (which was about an hour both nights).

Our first trip of the year to an apple orchard...

Playing on the playsets...

Trying to run through the tires...

 Oops, didn't quite make it...

 Uncle Jay showing me how it's done!

 Sam going down the slide with Flat Stanley...

A cool door to measure our height. We'll have to try to do this picture each year!

We went to Paul Bunyan for our annual visit too. It was Sam's first time, and he was a BIG fan. From the dishes to the food, it all was wonderful for him.

 I love making silly faces for the camera now!

 All of us (minus Daddy, who was hunting and Amanda, who had to work :(

 Riding some little rides at the Tanger Outlet mall. Sam really enjoyed these, and so did I!

 Sam started out standing up, but I told him he really shouldn't do that so then he scrunched into the bottom of the ride (see below).

We had a blast, as we always do!
