Hunter's 18 Month Stats

Hunter's Stats:

Weight: 24 pounds

Height: 34.1 inches

New words: Okaaay, shoe, No!

Likes: climbing, running, playing outside.

Dislikes: Not being as old as Ella.

Hunter had his 18-month check up on Friday and to celebrate, he decided to give him self a black eye! How? with a small plastic bowl! I am not even sure how this is possible, but he managed. Anyway the doctor says everything looks great and unfortunately there is no cure for wildness (He said we just have to wait for him to outgrow it)!

Seriously though, Hunter is getting cuter every day and he really is so much fun to be with. He makes me laugh, and he makes our family laugh and I just can't wait to see him grow into a little boy!

The Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we went to the pumpkin patch! I had never gone to this particular patch but I was pretty impressed. It had a hay bale maze, lots of different gourds and squash, a train that takes you around the patch. Anyway all-in-all a good day and we are definitely getting into the the Halloween spirit!

Ella Loves To Play

Sometimes when I have not heard Ella for a while and decide its time to look for her, this is what I find:

Ella loves to play and imagine, some of her favorites are tea parties and hospital. I hope she never gets tired of playing make believe!

Harvest

I spent most of September trying to preserve what was coming out of our garden and canning some of the local produce as well.

I have canned:

20 quarts of pears

10 quarts of peaches

5 quarts of applesauce

3 freezer batches of tomato sauce

1 batch of fried green tomatoes

and loaves and loaves of zucchini bread!
