Ain't Nobody Gonna Slow Him Down, Oh No, He's Gotta Keep On Movin'

It's been another fun-filled, action-packed month for us Pethers boys. Scott had another birthday party, this one with Cousin Logan and Papa. There were presents all over, even yours truly got a couple things! Look at these cupcakes Aunt Jen made - and yes, they tasted as good as they looked!














Soon after the birthday festivites were over, Scottie began taking a few steps and got his 9th tooth! Good thing because he's been chewing on everything.



Also new to the mountain of toys we have: Mom's Aunt Lea Ann gave us all kinds of fun stuff. We got a kitchen, a tool bench and a shopping cart plus tons of stuff to use in the kitchen and shopping cart. I'm trying to get Scott to be my sous chef but right now all he wants to do is throw stuff on the floor. I've got a lot of work ahead of me training him in the Little Tikes culinary world of mine.













Speaking of food, Daddy and I helped Mom pick the last of the veggies from the garden. What kind of carrots is that woman growing?!?!?!


Have I told you how great school is lately? I love playing with my best friends Joey and Luke everyday and talk about them all the time at home. But the other day I made friends with a lovely creature named Melody. We held hands out to the playground and again on the way back in. Sometimes Mom asks me the name of my girlfriend. I tell her it's Melody AND Willow. Who says I'm limited to just one?


Recently we went to the orchard for some pumpkins and apples. We didn't go on the hayride because it had rained the past 48 hours and the folks didn't want to spend $11 per person. I think those city-folks will pay that kind of money but not us, I can ride on a tractor anytime at home. But that didn't stop us from having fun at the petting zoo and playing on the pumpkins.













That same weekend Scott really got the hang of walking. He's getting pretty good and will walk all the way across the room. He's mighty proud of himself by the look on his face! But, it also means trouble. Yesterday, Mom said while I was taking my nap Scott climbed up and stood on MY stool at the kitchen counter while she was making applesauce. I better not catch him doing that while I'm around. He better ask Grandmother to get him his own stool!



So last week was Mom's birthday. This is what we got her. Now Scott and I will be with her all the time. She really likes it and is enjoying that I tell her Happy Birthday everyday since then too.




Scottie is getting to be so much fun. He gives these giant, strong bear hugs and sometimes doesn't let go. Awkward!! He loves to jump on and tackle Mom and Dad if they lay on the ground, I got him this time though! He's also getting good at blowing kisses and leaning in to give kisses. He's a little lover like me - I'm teaching him well!

This past weekend we kicked off Halloween early with some trick-or-treating at the campground. It was a bit overwhelming at first with all those kids dressed up and people standing around. I was feeling a little shy and look like the saddest Indian ever, don't I?













But once the trick-or-treating began and people started giving me candy just for saying a little phrase my spirits improved dramatically!


















Scott looked pretty cute too. But some people said she was a cute giraffe, so we need to get him in for his first haircut - pronto!
