An Awesome October: Pumpkin Patch, Papa's visit and a Happy Halloween!

I can't believe we are almost through the month of October! Given the time of year, we decided to head to the Roloff Family Farm, you know from the TV series Little People Big World(totally mom's idea). What my mom had forgotten was that I was days away from being 7 months old and had no idea where I was but that hay was sure tasty. Anyway, my dad and I survived and are already scheming as to how we can get out of it next year. As for my Papa's visit, that was cool, he got to take care of me one morning while mom was at work and I survived and so did my Papa. We also tailgated together down in Eugene before the UCLA vs. UO football game. As for Halloween, well the pictures say it all. My costume was too small, I was coming down with a cold, and there were six other funny looking kids my age who were feeling the same way. Next year has to be better!

Okay mom, this is really a cheezy picture

Way more interested in the grass than the pumpkins

Just days before my big debut as a Tiger, making sure my costume still fits since I happen to be growing like a weed these days

At my Halloween playdate, I'm the lil' tiger on the end. This is the point that I realized my mom had seated me right next to a giant Red Lobster

Okay, I'm totally over this lobster, this costume and the sun in my eyes!

Big changes in September- School Starts

Well, the month of September got off to a fairly great start given that mom was heading back to teaching part-time. Between you and I, it was most definitely harder on my mom than dad and I. I have to say that my nanny Maria is awesome and she takes really great care of me. We have fun singing, going on morning walks and learning spanish. I'm honestly getting really good at rolling my "r's". I was also able to travel to Boston and connect with my East coast roots! The best part of it all was getting to spend lots of time with my Nena and Auntie Shelley who flew up from Florida. I like to call that weekend the Tour de Ollie. By the time we were ready to head back to Oregon, I had visited three states, Massachussetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, what fun!!
