Sean is growing like a weed. He weighed 23 pounds 6 oz and was 31 inches tall at his 9 month doctor’s appointment. That’s the weight of an average 13 month old and the height of an average 15 month old. He also took his first step by himself on October 12th (5 days before his 9 month birthday!). We’ve been working on it for a while, but he usually cheats and dives toward Mommy or Daddy or gets on all fours and crawls toward us. He loves riding in the wagon with Annalise. Tooth #7 is breaking through and he is SO done with baby food. He wants what we’re eating. He’s clapping and usually a very happy baby (unless it’s naptime!).
Sean and I had a pumpkin farm filled weekend this Columbus Day weekend. On Friday we went to Kuiper’s Family Farm with Aunt Bethie and “Aunt” Lisa to get apples and pictures with all the pumpkins. Then Mommy and Daddy took us to Johannsen’s Pumpkin Farm on Sunday. We went through the petting zoo and I pet a goat, a baby chick, and I rode a pony! I didn’t have to hold on or anything! It was so much fun. On Columbus Day Mommy, Aunt Kathy, Aunt Bethie, Keara (or “Ra” as I like to call her) took Sean and I to Goebbert’s Pumpkin Farm. In their petting zoo, not only did they have cows, goats, and chicks, but they also had lion cubs, tigers, and giraffes! I got to ride another pony and this time Mommy remembered the camera. This weekend was hot but also a lot of fun!
