Today I crawled! Yeah, that's right, I'm now officially mobile. I crawled from the loft all the way to the master bedroom bathroom this morning. Brother Jake was keeping a superball just out of my reach to motivate me.

Get ready for trouble Mom and Dad. If you know what's good for you (and me) you better get baby-proofing!

Today I went to the pumpkin patch for the first time! Mommy and Daddy took Jake and me to The Pumpkin Patch at Sauvie's Island. We rode on a tractor to get out to the field of pumpkins. I rode in the backpack on Daddy's back as he waded through the mud to find us the perfect pumpkin. There were so many too choose from, but I think Daddy and I made a good choice.

We also saw cows, goats, and llamas at the The Pumpkin Patch. Later this week Daddy is going to show me how to carve my first pumpkin. I can't wait to dig into those pumpkin guts! 

This whole Halloween thing is pretty fun. I can't wait to dress up. I'm going to be Eeyore!

Our dog Daisy had nine puppies! One passed away though a few days later. :o( So now we have eight, four boys and four girls. They are really cute, but they're noisy sometimes. They just opened their eyes two days ago which makes them even cuter.

Picture:

Everyone in the house has their favorite and has named them except Daddy and Gavin. Jake's is "Bones", he has kind of wavy hair and is a big boy. Tosha's is "Juliet", she is tiny and almost white. Mommy's is "Polar", he is big and white like a polar bear.

That's the most exciting news I have. Some news on the sadder side...My Daddy almost died while he was out hunting. He got lost in a snow storm and his friends couldn't find him. They finally did and then decided they should come home. Also, my great-grandpa Olsen went to go be with God. I didn't get to meet him, but Daddy has lots of stories to tell me about him when I get a little bigger. I got to have one of his pocket knifes that he collected. Daddy is keeping it for me until I get bigger.

Other than that we're just getting ready for Halloween! I'm going to be Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. Jake got a really scarey mask, but Mommy won't let him show it to me. Oh yeah, Daddy had to drop my mattress down lower last night because Mommy came in and found me standing straight up in my crib. :o) Yep, I'm big like that!
