Halloween

We had a fun Halloween. I was able to sneak over to see Alex's fall program at preschool. The kids sang songs and then we got to go trick-or-treating around the school and play various games they had set up. Weston and Alex dressed up as M&M's this year. We went trick-or-treating with a group of friends. Both Alex and Weston loved it. They were pretty cute!

2 Year Stats

Weston had his two year check up right after his birthday and he is maintaining his growth curve quite well. He weighed in at 35 lb, 13 oz (99th percentile) and is 3'1" tall (97th percentile). Developmentally, he is doing great and is right on target. His language has really taken off now and his personality is really shining through, which is fun to see. You better watch out or Wes might give you his mean face! His favorite thing right now is definitely cows! He is either playing with his toy cows or talking about cows the majority of the day. Other favorite things include anything Mickey Mouse related, listening to music, reading books, playing with cars, or playing with anything Alex is currently playing with. He is getting to be a little bit pickier with what he eats but he's still a good eater overall. He also loves all dips and condiments (ketchup, mustard, ranch, etc.)- anything he can dip his food, finger, or spoon into. We love this guy!

Pumpkins

My mom came into town the Friday before Weston's birthday. We went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our own pumpkins right from the stalks.

For some reason the wheelbarrow was much heavier going back than it was walking out to the field...

We carved the pumpkins later on in the weekend. Alex liked his apron and spoons, while Wes dug right in with his hands (and even his mouth at times- gross).

Weston's 2nd Birthday!

I can't believe Weston is two already! Where did this past year go?? We celebrated this year with a Mickey Mouse party. In addition to the immediate family, Weston was lucky enough to have all 4 grandparents, 2 great grandparents, and 1 special aunt come celebrate his big day.

Almost everything that Weston received for his birthday was related to Mickey or cows, and he honestly loves everything. Grandma Mimi made him this adorable farm blanket. Weston hadn't slept with a blanket in his crib up until this point, but we now let him sleep with his special farm blanket and he thinks it is pretty darn cool. Surprisingly it actually stays on him at night too.

For the two weeks prior to his birthday, anytime we talked about his party, Weston would respond with, "Sara Mickey cookies." He was ready for them and of course she did not disappoint!

No Mickey party is complete unless you have Mickey cake and of course Mickey hats!

Pleasant Valley Farm

During a trip to WI a few weeks ago, we went to Pleasant Valley Farm. It was a nice day and the fall colors were beautiful. The boys had a great time. Alex was in heaven because of all of the little games there, while Weston's favorite activity was the jumpy. They also had fun at the petting zoo, corn maze, slides, hay mountain, and going for a hay ride.
