Mom turns the big 3-0!

Mom and Dad got me enrolled in this waterbabies swim class. At first, I couldn't figure out what the heck Mom was doing walking into a big bathtub, but it didn't take me long to figure out that I could splash and kick! Water was going everywhere (especially in Mom and Dad's faces'). The instuctor is really cool; she gets us toys to play with, we sing songs, and sometimes we even get to play a little basketball (Dad has to help me with this one, Mom is just a little short for me to get that ball in the hoop). We have a great time, but by the end of the half hour, boy are we tired! Later that week, Mom celebrated the big 3-0. It was a big day all around-my new cousin Charlie arrived. Mom says that I was that small once...I don't believe her though! But I can't wait to meet Charlie...I think he and I will be great buddies! Mom took the next day off for a long weekend so that we could spend time together. Dad too! I was so excited! We got to sleep in, hang out and cuddle. It was fabulous. We even went camping with Grandma and Grandpa Hagel and Uncle Jon. We did hiking, had a bonfire and celebrated Mom and Uncle Jonnie's birthdays (I even got to jump on Uncle Jonnie to be the first to wish him a happy birthday!). The following weekend, We went to the pumpkin patch/apple orchard. Mom got me all bundled up with hat, mittens, big coat and by the time we got out there....I was sweatin! Dad brought on this hunt for the perfect pumpkin for me. His criteria-round, orange and bigger than me! I saw so many pumpkins, but we finally found one just for me! Now we just have to go home and cut it up!
