Malachi,

 

Fall in the Midwest is always a fun time and with this being your first we did it up big! We went to Michigan for some fall fun. We went to the pumpkin patch/cider mill for your first time. It’s one of Daddy and my favorite ones in Michigan. The weather was actually beautiful for fall in the Midwest. You enjoyed yourself too, but I do think you got hot.

 

We had family pictures this month and you were absolutely NOT having it for these. I hope she got some good ones because you made her WORK. Haha!

 

You show your silly personality the most at dinner time by constantly being silly and making us laugh. The more we laugh the more silly you are. Speaking of dinner time, when you are done eating you will flip your plate over on the ground. It’s beyond frustrating. Hahaha!

 

We carved you a pumpkin and you got to celebrate your first Halloween. We were able to attend quite a few Halloween festivities and trunk or treats. We dressed you up as Chewbacca and you were by far the cutest little wookie I ever did see.

 

You started at your new daycare this motnh and you did so, so good! The transition was a little rough at first (which we expected), but you really did do great.

 

This month you became SO mobile and started to crawl and get a round. Before you could get where you needed, but also didn’t realize how far you could go. Now you do the four legged crawl with no struggle.

 

Sugar Bear, we all think you hung the moon. You are so special and made our family so whole. I honestly forget what life was like before you. You are very easy going, so happy and fit into our family perfectly. You have a really great personality and we can’t wait to see more and more of it really come out. We are so excited to watch you get bigger and grow into your own even more. I can’t believe how close to one you are! Time is a thief and I wish it would slow down. I love this stage and age so much. I pray every single day for you and your future!

 

Love you to infinity and beyond,

Momma
