Weeks 26 & 27... Pumpkin Pie is calling my Name!
October 13 - October 26th, 2008

Oh it's been so long since Mommy wrote about what I've been doing! She's been busy this fall taking care of me, and she's had lots of photos to take! She says to catch up the next few posts may be a little shorter than usual. What! Mom, you have to tell everyone what I've been doing!

After the assembly, Mom decided that we should stay at Grandma and Papaws for an extra night or two. Daddy stayed with us Sunday night, but Monday night it was just us. Mommy helped Papaw cut the lawn, and while Grandma was inside watching me, I said "Mama" for the first time! Grandma couldn't believe it! I also wouldn't stop whining until she put me in front of the door so that I could see outside.

Mommy got so excited when Grandma told her, but she was sad because she didn't hear it. I let her hear it later that day though. She jumped for joy!

Tuesday, we went and visited Great-Nana one last time, and Papaw took us to Morristown to meet Daddy. We had fun but missed Daddy so much!
Mom bought this pumpkin to made Daddy pumpkin pie. He's been begging! Before we cut it up and cooked, Mommy took my sixth month photos with it. It was still warm outside, but she dressed me like it was a cool fall day anyways. After we made these photos, we went right in and cut up the pumpkin. Daddy was so happy. He said it was the best pie ever, and I got to help! I love making Daddy happy.

On the first weekend, Mommy left me all alone with Daddy Sunday night. She went to take some Engagement Photos. I didn't feel very good, so Daddy rocked me for a whole hour! I was back to playing by the time Mommy got home; daddy took very good care of me.
During this two weeks, we also went to the Smokey Mountains! Mommy was sad because it seems like we never get to spend much time just the three of us, so he surprised Mommy by taking a day off work! We drove up through Townsend like we always do, and even took a short hike in the Mountain. Mommy was carrying me on her back, so we didn't make it far. She said she was so out of shape... Daddy said he was too! We stopped by a stream and played a little while before heading back down. That was much easier!

We also had circuit overseer, so Daddy had his Servant meeting Friday. After his meeting, we left for Alabama; Mommy had more photos to take. Also, I started scooting to things today! It was a very exciting two weeks. Saying Mama and scooting!

Saturday I got to play with Nana, Aunt Kathryn and Papa B while Mommy and Daddy were off taking photos of the Calhoun family. We had a big time. I was sad we had to leave so early Sunday to get back for the Circuit Overseer.
