First Halloween

We had a very low-key Halloween this year. With Holden being only six-months, he wasn't quite into dressing up and getting candy {just you wait little guy!}.

Since many of Holden's clothes and toys have monkeys on them - it made perfect sense to have him dress as a monkey this year.


After taking a few photos at home, Nathan and I strolled Holden around our neighborhood. I think he was the cutest little monkey on the block! 


Trick or treating at our neighbor's house!


After about half an hour, Holden stuck his thumb in his mouth letting us know it was time to go home.


We hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!

Cox Farms

On Wednesday, October 6th, Holden and I went to Cox Farms with Anne, Grace and Lily. There was a great Groupon offered a few weeks back that gave us admission for $4 each, so it was a steal to go.

It had been raining for days, so the first day it was a clear sky we went. It was quite chilly, but we still had a great time!


We saw Caroline the cow get milked {there are no pictures of that because Holden saw milking and needed his own...}, piggies and piglets, chickens and chicks, goats and kids, more cows, llamas and my favorite - bunnies!


We decided to take a hayride with the kiddos. That was a big mistake on my part. At Cox Farms, I guess the hayride is geared for older children because they have aliens, a haunted house and an extremely loud choo choo horn that made Holden cry some of the largest crocodile tears I have seen.


Eventually, the sun came out in full force, Holden fell asleep in the Baby Bjorn and we fed the very hungry goats.


After all that, Holden got to take home his very own pumpkin, and we were on our way home.

We had so much fun, and hopefully we can make it to another farm this Fall!

Back to Tummy

No pictures this time - but Holden just rolled from his back to his tummy for the first time. Today he has been rolling from his tummy to back multiple times (we honestly thought he forgot since it has been so long), and he decided to roll from his back to tummy.

Holden is slowly starting to become more and more mobile. If I stick my hands behind his feet he pushes off of them with a big scoot. Rolling, scooting ... oh my.

Good thing October is safety month - I think we will be baby-proofing sooner than we thought!
