Tennis

We introduced Jonathan to another sport today...tennis. Selfishly Brad and I wanted to play as it was another beautiful fall day. We weren't expecting Jonathan to be so in to it, he wanted to play almost the whole time. He was getting pretty good at it, making contact with the ball anyway. He did sit and watch mommy and daddy play for awhile and was cheering us on. Then he became our ball boy, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I can't wait for us to play as a family someday. It was a lot of fun!

Turner Farm

What a fun filled day. We went to Turner Farm today with a bunch of friends, went on a hayride, picked some potato vines, fed the sheep and picked pumpkins. I think everybody enjoyed the day. Jonathan said his favorite was picking out his pumpkin. What a switch from last year though. Last year we were freezing and were in winter coats and hats. This year, we were sweating in 80 degree weather. Afterwards, we went to the Bajorek's for a "party."

Sit Ups

Diana is doing sit ups. Not sure if she thinks this is how you are supposed to roll over or what but she is being really fun these days. Seriously it looks like she is working out doing sit ups. She also is putting anything and everything in her mouth...clothes, fingers, toys, etc.

What You Said

Well not really new, but Jonathan still says "What you said?" if he doesn't hear or understand you. It is really cute. We probably hear this about 20 times a day. I think it is his favorite saying at the moment.

He is also really into salads right now. Every night at dinner, he sits in my lap and we share a salad. It used to always need ranch dressing but I introduced him to cesar dressing this weekend and he likes it. He only eats the lettuce, doesn't like mushrooms or tomatoes but it is a start. We talked a lot about healthy eating and on Saturday night he said he was hungry. I asked him what he wanted to eat and he said, "Something healthy...like grapes maybe...not goldfish crackers or cookies." Hopefully this healthy eating kick sticks.

Happy Baby

Diana was a very happy girl all day today! This is right before bed smiling at her daddy.

Firehouse

Jonathan got to go to the Norwwod firehouse today with his buddies Alex and Evan. I think this made Jonathan's day! I had asked him on Saturday night, "If he could do one thing tomorrow (Sunday) what would it be?" And he responded with "touch-a-truck" which is an event that we went to back in July. Lucky for him, his friends stopped by to see if he wanted to go to the firehouse with him today.

Here were Brad's facebook captions of the pictures:

Budget cuts have hit Norwood hard. Our latest fire fighters just got sworn in. Let it burn, don't call these guys.
Do they have it in a medium possibly?

Football

Must be second nature to boys when the weather turns cold, but Jonathan all of a sudden is really into football. I think this Saturday made it the third week in a row where Jonathan has asked to go watch football (i.e., Norwood JV team). This week was cold but it didn't stop Jonathan. As Brad said, "He had to go."
Jonathan is enjoying throwing the football around in the front yard and tackling. GB also perfected his kickoff and extra point kicks this weekend...I think he might be better than me. He told me that his favorite part of the football game was the kickoff.
