Jack-O-Lantern

Daddy and Bailey carved our perfect pumpkin from Dewberry Farm into a jack-o-lantern! Bailey acted like she was interested at first, but wanted NOTHING to do with cleaning out the inside of the pumpkin. I believe her exact words were, "That looks like throw up!" She's such a girlie-girl!

Getting started

She held the top but wouldn't touch anything else!

All done!

Dewberry Farm

We went to Dewberry Farm today!  We had so much fun when we went last year that we just had to go again. It was a good thing we bought our tickets online before we left because the line to purchase tickets was LONG! We were able to walk right in. So if you live in the Houston area and plan on going to Dewberry Farm, buy your tickets in advance!!

Our first stop was the Goatel 6. Bailey loved looking at the animals but would not get too close. She said they would bite her.



Then we visited the barn that was full of animals. Bailey loved seeing Wilbur and the bunnies. She wasn't too interested in the chickens. I don't blame her.


We took pictures on this pig last year so we had to do it again.


On to the rubber duckie races...


And this picture is for our friend Mr. Jeff. He doesn't like green tractors. Bailey insisted on wearing my sunglasses because the sun was in her eyes.



Bailey's favorite thing on the farm was Fort Dew Hickey! It's a wooden fort with ramps, bridges, tunnel, fire pole, and a slide.



Daddy and Bailey rode the Corn Train.


Campbell was a good sport in his stroller. He can't wait until next year!


Last but not least we rode on the hay ride to the pumpkin patch where we found the perfect pumpkin to take home!





You can see last year's trip to the farm here.

5 months

Campbell,
Five months - time flies! Here are a few highlights from the past month:
1. You weigh a whopping 17 pounds, 9 ounces! Such a big boy!
2. You experienced your first hurricane. You slept right through it. I got to spend a whole week at home with you because of it. Thanks, Ike!
3. You ate your first rice cereal. We couldn't feed you fast enough. You are a great eater!
4. You made several trips to the doctor thanks to a nasty cough. We ended up getting to use Bailey's penguin nebulizer to give you breathing treatments three times a day. You don't care too much for the treatments unless you get to watch Baby Einstein. Thankfully you are getting better.
5. You still don't have any teeth but you are still drooling and chomping on anything you can get into your mouth.
Coming soon in month 6: your first Halloween and your first Baylor Homecoming. Can't wait!
I love you baby boy,
Momma

Yes, he got a big boy haircut. I didn't have my camera with me so I didn't get any pictures of the grand event. I've learned my lesson and it won't happen again.
