Andrew has been having great fall filled with seasonal fun. We visited the Orchard Creek Apple Orchard where we learned just how much he LOVES apples. Andrew had a great time picking apples, trying all the varieties, and just relaxing in nature. At one point he plopped down on the ground under an apple tree, laid back, and just relaxed looking up at the tree and sky.

 

We visited the Monona Fall Festival where Andrew attempted the toddler hay bale maze. He didn't really get the point and kept trying to climb on the hay but he still had fun!

We also checked out Treinen Farm in Lodi which was awesome. We took a horse drawn hayride to the pumpkin patch where Andrew helped pick out a pumpkin. He also got to play on tractor riding toys and pet some farm animals.

 

Andrew got his first substantial hair cut and he looks so grown up!

Andrew loves drinking out of his Dad's big water jug.

Halfway thought eating Andrew feels the need to dump out his plate or bowl and finish his meal straight off his tray. He still has the habit of throwing food on the ground when he's finished.

Andrew got a new froggy potty and has been practicing sitting on it. So far he has successfully peed in the potty 3 times. One morning after a few minutes of trying, he declared that he was all done and got up to play with his rubber duckies from the bathtub. I walked across the hall to his bedroom, grabbed a diaper, and came right back. In that time he had taken a whole pee in the potty and was splashing around in it with his duckies!

Andrew now has 16 teeth.

Andrew is starting to put 2 words together: Daddy work, Hi Turtle, Mama no.

Andrew has developed a love of Legos. He is getting really good at stacking the blocks to make towers. He also loves shaking the container and  dumping the blocks everywhere so he can push his corn popper toy or ride his riding toys through the rubble.
