Time Marching On

by Jean,

Where did September and October go? Probably the same place this train went - down the road as fast as it could! You can see Adam in a red shirt in the green car on the left. We went to the local farm/pumpkin patch and they had all kinds of cool stuff like this "train" (a lawnmower pulling little carts), a hayride, toys for the kids, and a pumpkin patch where they got to choose their own pumpkins. It was only 85 degrees that day - fall weather in Louisiana. The first time the driver took off with all the kids towed behind, all the parents were astonished at how fast she drove, and how far she took them! Only one child was crying when they came back, and it wasn't Adam. He was grinning from ear to ear, and ready to go again. After 2 hours of playing at the pumpkin patch, here we are, taking a break and sitting on the big round hay bales.
After 3 hours of playing at the pumpkin patch, I finally got Adam to go and look at pumpkins. Here he is, sitting in the pumpkin patch with our pumpkins. He declared early in the day that he wanted a "little pumpkin," and that is what he chose. He also insisted on carrying it back from the field to the car by himself. Now he picks it up and carries it around the house from time to time to show us his pumpkin. It's a good thing he got the little one.
What a poser! This is from a recent trip to the park. We have been working on getting decent poses from Adam for photos. He is getting closer to taking good photos.... this one doesn't show ALL his teeth, and his eyes are partly open!
The other day Adam was listening to music and said, "that's the guitar!" During the next song that played, he said, "that's a piano." He was right both times. Then he wanted to get out Ted's guitar to play while his music videos were playing, because the main performer has a guitar. Then he informed me that he needs "an Adam sized guitar." His grandpa Ray should be proud!
I repeat, where did September and October go?
