Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Day Farms pumpkin patch again this year. Dallin had fun. He waved bye to the pumpkin patch when we left and talk the whole way home about the monsters that jumped out at us.

Russ got to clean out all the the pumpkins. What a good sport.

Dallin tried to help. By then he started to put the yucky back into the pumpkins after Russ pulled it out. :)

Also, here is an online contest...Click here to sign up. They are giving away a year supply of groceries. Someone has to win. Maybe it will be you. :)

Random Stuff

Just another crazy eye picture. One day I will get a picture of the really crazy eye.

And yes, that is a binky. Dallin had a bit of a rough time at my mom's. It was as if once he started to cry, he got so worked up that he couldn't stop. I thought he was asking for his blanket, but Ashley thought he was saying Katie. We finally figured it out. He was saying, "Katie binky. Katie binky." So we gave in. Nothing else would get him to stop. I think he was just so exhausted for some reason. Wasn't it nice of Katie to share. :)

They Repeat Everything

So today Dallin and Russ where playing the guitar. (OK, Russ was playing one and Dallin was just strumming at the other one) I had the camera out and was recording it. Dallin wanted to see the recording. I was showing to him, but because Russ was still playing the guitar, we couldn't hear the sound. Dallin turns to Russ and says, "Stop that, Honey." I guess I get after Russ too often. Or maybe it is just that Russ teases me too much. He needs to be told to stop that often.:)

Monster Mash

I always think these are are funny. I have to thank Lew and Bryn for joining our family, in order to make five people. I have to say, I think Lew is the funniest. It looks so much like him, with all that hair. I just wish he were home to enjoy it.

The Benefits Of Daycare

So one thing I do love about Dallin having to be in daycare, other than way less poopy diapers for me to change, is he learns all sorts of things from being around other kids all day. It is so weird when he uses words or statements I know he didn't get at home. I remember the first time he say "boat." I know we didn't teach him that.

He remembers things and can repeat what he learns. I picked him at Jessie's house and my cousin's little one was laying there. I said "Look Dallin, the baby." He proceeded to inform me she was "baby Elle"

The other day Russ turned off the light in the room Dallin was in. He came running out and cried. "It scared me! It scared me!"

The other day he was upset because he couldn't do what he wanted. He answers with "I mad mommy!"

Then there is the fun of "I hiding," which is an excuse to play in any closet/cupboard he knows he shouldn't be in.

Lastly, we were at the grocery store yesterday. He got mad because he couldn't run around. I picked him up and he proceeded to yell "stupid! stupid! stupid!" That one was new to me. :)

It is fun to hear all the new things he learns from Megan and her kids. (I'm assuming stupid isn't one he learned from Megan exactly. :) It is just so funny. I can never wait to see what he will say next. I'm sure it is psychologically damaging to laugh at him as much as I do. :)

Thanks for humoring me. This is one of those posts that I think is so fun because he is my child. Always cuter when it is your own child, right?

Are You My Mother?

I think Dallin is a little confused about who mommy is. Here are a couple of examples

A few weeks ago I was driving home from my mom's house and Dallin was talking to me.

Dallin: Where mommy?
Me: I'm your mommy.
Dallin: NO, where mommy? (and for those of you who have been around Dallin know that the NO was yelled.)
Me: What mommy?
Dallin: Daddy.

Two days ago a similar converstaion took place while I was loading him in the car when leaving my mom's house

Dallin: Where mommy?
Me: Right here.
Dallin: No, where mommy?
Me: What mommy?
Dallin: Where Megan Mommy? (Megan watches Dallin when I am at work.)
Me: Megan is at her house.
Dallin: Megan Mommy?
Me: Yes. Megan is at her house with Abby, Luke, and Carley.
Dallin: K

At least he keeps us laughing, even if I am replaced so easily. :)

Should I Worry?

So we noticed a few months ago that Dallin would make a face at us when he was being silly or was mad at us. He tilts his chin downwards and looks up at us, either with a smile or a scowl depending on his mood. The thing is that his eyes always go crazy. One looks in another direction from the one looking straight on. It only happens when he is looking up. Anyone know what could be wrong? Should I bring a copy of this picture to his 2 year check-up? Just wanted to know your thoughts. Either way, he sure knows it makes up laugh.
