This past Sunday, Mom and Dad took me to my first parade! I got to see lots of horses, tractors, and fire trucks! I wasn’t too excited to see them but I am sure that will change in the years to come. I also celebrated my 26 week birthday and this Friday I will turn 6 months! Mom and Dad can’t believe it’s already been 1/2 a year. I also spent some quality time with my new toy. I have the traditional baby stacking ring toy and I am already a pro at it!
Mom and Dad took advantage of the warm weather (65 degrees!) to take me to the playground for the first time. I liked swinging but I wasn’t much into anything else (I’m just not big enough yet, won’t be too long)! Then we went back to the parkway, I greatly enjoyed learning about trees and feeling the branches.
I’ll be sixth months on Friday! Mom and Dad were looking at some videos today of me in the hospital feeling nostaglic…they just don’t know all the bigger changes I have in store for them!
Quite an exciting week with Halloween and getting adjusted to standard time (this has been quite a struggle!) Most importantly I finally “said” ma-ma (11/3), I don’t really know what I’m saying yet but I’ve been babbling da-da for weeks and I think mom was feeling slighted. Almost six months–Mom and Dad will have to start babyproofing soon!
What a holiday! Dressing up and decorating pumpkins! Mom and Dad decided that I needed some time to myself to explore my creative side, so I got to use a marker to decorate my pumpkin, instead of Dad doing it for me. No children were harmed in the creating of this pumpkin (minus the marker nose).
I just got back from my first time treat or treating! 🙂 I had a great time dressing up in my costume from Aunt Becky. I got to see Gayle and my boy AJ! What a great day! 🙂
Mom and Dad have already had several photo requests for what I have been doing all day, so here’s the first round. I started out the day trying oatmeal cereal for the first time, I liked it A LOT, it has a much more interesting taste and texture than boring ole rice cereal. Then Mom and I studied my pumpkin, we’ll be decorating it in a bit. Later they put me in my pumpkin otfit to get ready for carving! More pictures to come later!
Mom, Dad, and I took advantage of the beautiful fall weather to take a ride on the parkway. I had my first encounters with leaves and WIND! It was so windy today it almost knocked me over! I enjoyed seeing all the colors and cruching through the leaves (luckily mom stopped me before I put them in my mouth). I also got to see Buffalo Mountain, I’m a true Floyd boy now!
More changes have been the story of my 23rd week. Dad bought me a piano I can kick with my feet, since I’m so into standing and stomping. In addition, not only am I sitting better, talking TONS, but I’m starting to “swim”–looks like crawling will be right around the corner.
Mom, Dad, and I had a great weekend. It started on Friday when my girl Hannah came to see me. I loved listening to her talk and snuggling with her. She’ll be my babysitter soon enough!
Then Granny and Grandpa came down to see us for dad’s birthday (Tuesday) and Aunt Beth came with them! I haven’t seen her in a long time! She sang and read to me and I talked a bunch to her. We had a great weekend!
I’m pretty sure Mom will start crying if she reflects on how I have changed over the last 5 months. So enjoy the pictures!

Here’s to another incredible month!
Mom and Dad bought me a new Hokie hat that I had to show off today, must have provided some good luck for our big win over BC. Good luck to Super T and the Gators tonight, my aunt Becky is trying to raise me a Gator!
I had a great day with Mom and Dad filled with eating cereal, sitting, listening to music, and practicing being on my stomach—crawling is just around the corner!
