Pumpkin' pickin' and Halloween

A couple weeks ago, the family headed out to Hodges Dairy Farm on the outskirts of Charlotte. Nate mostly wanted to run around all over the farm and play in the dirt. He got to see some pigs, goats and horses, but the highlight was finding the perfect pumpkin.



So strong -- he can almost pick up a pumpkin as big as he is!


Do you need Mommy to help you? No, so stubborn, he wants to do it himself!


Nate, where's your head? There it is!


And where's your belly? There it is!


Happiness is playing in the dirt.


Then, this past weekend was Halloween. Last year, Nate was a lobster, but this year he wanted to be something a little scarier -- a skeleton!


Here he is at the Baby BOO-nanza Spooktacular at his girlfriend Julia's house. He thought the skull hood was really annoying (and didn't want to scare any of the other babies at the party), so he kept it off. This is what happened when we put it on later that night:


Wow, Nate, that's really scary!


But once we let him outside to play in the rain, he thought it was pretty cool. Happy Halloween!
