4 Months Old

Well Connor turned 4 months old this week, which means time for another well baby checkup. Here are his statistics. Weighed in at 19lbs 2 oz, height of 26 1/2 inches. Yep you read that right. He is off the charts in weight, but weighs the same as an average 8 month old. For height, he was 92% and is the average height of a 6 month old. His head circumference is 90%. So he is definitely huge for his age, no doubt about that now.

Ring Farm

Our family has a tradition of going to a local pumpkin patch each October. Normally we drive up to Franklin and go to Gentry's Farm. Well this year the pick your own pumpkin patch there was closed due to all the rain we have had. I guess pumpkins dont grow well when it is constantly raining. Since that is one of the main reasons of going to Gentry's Farm, we decided to try a pumpkin patch closer to home. This year we went to Ring Farm which is outside of Spring Hill. Keith, Kristina, Lyndsey, Scott and Grandma all went with us for the outing.

Ring Farm is smaller than Gentry's and since we went around 1 pm, yes we skipped naptime, it was very empty. They have a corn maze, hayride, a gigantic slide, pumpkin patch (or so they say) and a kids area. We enjoyed it and since it was so close we will go back next year.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Each October the Nashville Zoo hosts their Ghouls at Grassmere. The zoo is open after hours to enjoy some spooky fun. They have haunted hayrides, some carn"evil" games, trick or treating, a costume parade, and tons of other fun activities. Since we are members of the zoo and have heard great reviews on it, we decided this year to try it out. We dressed Logan up in his Clone Trooper costume and set out for a fun night. Wow it was packed.

They had about 20 stations set up around the zoo for the kids to trick or treat. It took Logan awhile to get the hang of it, but once he did he was all for the candy & treats he recieved. After trick or treating we went and rode on the Haunted Hayride. It was pretty cool. They had all kinds of spooky things for us to see, including a huge spider, dragon, some skeletons, and Logan's favorite some ghosts. After the hayride we went and participated in some games, a maze, and some picture ops. It was a fun evening which wore both boys plus mom & dad out.

Indoor Fun

Since the weather has been pretty miserable the past few weeks, and with the fear of swine flu we have spent a lot of days stuck in the house. But we also have found some new favorite activities. A few days ago Logan did fingerpainting for the first time. For those that know Logan, this was a battle since he hates his hands to have anything on them. So because I didn't want to lose any clothes in the process, I stripped him down to his underwear since he has a tendency to wipe his hands on whatever is close bye. He loved it, but had to wipe his hands in between colors so it was a very long process.


Connor is getting pretty good with head control, so we decided to pull out the bumbo. He barely fits in it, due to his large thighs, but enjoys sitting and watching his brother play. So we spend a little bit of time in it each day. Here are some pictures of the boys and the bumbo.

October festivals

The Country Ham Festival is an annual festival held here in Spring Hill at the Tennessee Children's Home.Since the weather was beautiful that day, we went ahead and took the boys for a couple of hours. There was all kinds of activites for Logan to do, including a train ride, games, inflatables, music and more. Here are some pictures from the Country Ham Festival

The second festival, and by far Logan's favorite was the annual festival known in Spring Hill as Touch a Truck. This is every little boy's dream festival. It is held in a local church parking lot, and pretty much consists of all types of trucks. It is free to the public and the kids get to run, climb, and play in the trucks. It can be a very loud event, with all the honking of the horns, but it is definitely one we will do again. Clyde's parents joined us at this fun event.
