Happy Fall!

I love the cool in the air in the mornings and evenings. Of course, the afternoons still feel a little like summer. We are getting there, though. Here are a couple of picks from the week. Pratt is such a blast... 14 months and counting. Each day seems like a new adventure for him. I love it!

He would not leave the hat on for his picture. I kept putting it back on him to take a pic and see his reaction below...

Loving on Ivy. If only Ivy shared these feelings.

Spaghetti... yum!!!

Singing along with "Alphabet Pal" our favorite toy!

walking, walking everywhere

well, we have a walker. we've had one for probably 3 weeks now, at least, but i've been lazy and not taking pictures or posting. my sister had to jerk a not in my tail about it too - thanks, man. love ya!

until 3 days ago, he was still crawling a good bit. he couldn't stand up on his own, without using the support of something else. when he would fall from walking, he would crawl over to something to pull himself up. now he has figured out how to stand on his own, so it's walking exclusively. i think he is trying to figure out how to run too. the other day it was like his feet wouldn't go fast enough and he fell over face first.

the toddling is so cute. i love to leave him in just his diaper and watch his little legs. sweet, rolly legs. we're having a blast. we smile and laugh all day long at the things this little boy does.

See How I've Grown!!!

at 3 months, i decided to start taking monthly pics of pratt with his favorite stuffed animal - a monkey. here are the pics in a slide show. you can see how he's changed over those 9 months.

finally. i have uploaded post after post but couldn't get the pics laid out the way i wanted. plus there were so many i wanted to share, so i decided to just do a slideshow. enjoy!

pratt's birthday

it's been two weeks since pratt's birthday and i am just now posting these pics. we had such a fun day celebrating this sweet baby. pratt got up and we had his present from us out for him to play in. daddy went and got us all breakfast from chic-fil-a. pratt loved his chicken minis. we headed out after morning nap for his first haircut. daddy got one too! then we had a nice lunch as a family. papa and gigi - walt's parents - came up and spent the night with us so we spent the evening at home with them.

where's pratt?

pratt loves for you to play peek-a-boo with him. most kids do, i guess. anyway, he has figured out how to play it himself. he covers his head with a blanket to play. too cute! here's a video...

he's almost one...

how? why? can't he just stay the way he is? in my last post i was whining about pratt growing up. i'm still in that place. i'll get over it soon, i promise. anyway, this weekend i was in prattville for my oldest friend's baby shower -meagan howell anderson. while i was there my family had a little mini birthday party for my meme's sake. she just had her hip replaced, so she won't be able to make the trip to harvest next weekend for pratt's birthday. here are some pics that we took at the little party.
