Pumpkin Patch
Deanna Rose also has a great pumpkin patch. Benjamin had a great time playing all of the fun games. He loved the big slide and loved playing in the corn tub!
Deanna Rose Visit
A couple of weeks ago we went to Deanna Rose! Benjamin continues to be very curious in animals and it does not matter the size! It was a great fall day and we had a great time!
Fall Fun
Well here are some pictures from early fall, including a KU tailgate! Benjamin is constantly loving the outdoors, which includes playing in the backyard, playing at the park, or simply going for walks!

15 Month Checkup
Sorry it has been so long since we have posted. It has been a very busy fall...lots of wedding showers and lots of weddings. I will post pictures this weekend with all the fun fall activities we have done!
In the meantime, I will fill you in on Benjamin's 15 month checkup. He weighed 27 lbs and was 32 inches long (both in the 80th percentile). He seems to be growing taller and slimming down, which does not surprise me because he runs 100 miles an hour when he is awake. He is a busy little guy and continues to figure everything out. He has mastered several words and ones we can actually understand, one being "no", which is not our favorite one. He is using his sign language and has mastered "all done" and is getting much better at "please". He is learning how to say "please"...one we are working very hard on!
He is still sleeping like a champ. Goes down around 7 pm and generally does not make a peep until atleast 7 am. He has gotten much better at sleeping at daycare ever since he moved to the 1 year old room. He takes about a 2 hour nap each day.
We are having a blast with him right now! He has developed such a darling personality and is at such a fun stage! He continues to love doing anything outside and anything with Aspen!
I will be sure to post pictures this weekend and then some Halloween pics!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Fun at the Zoo and John Deer Windmill
Well 2 weeks ago we went back to Wichita for a wedding shower for my sister and stayed with Memo and PaPa. On Saturday we went to the Sedgwick County Zoo and Benjamin thoroughly enjoyed walking through the zoo, petting the lambs, and feeding the giraffe. He was such a trooper and walked a big portion of the zoo! Then on Sunday we went out to Great Grandma Winkelman's house and Benjamin fell in love with the John Deer windmill. He kept taking Nana outside and he tried to climb it, but Nana decided it would be more safe to lift him up! Other than that we had a great time in Wichita and it was very relaxing!!! Here are some pictures to document our trip!

Summer Fun!
Well this weekend was great in Kansas City! The weather cooled down and we were able to have lots of fun playing outside. We went to Deanna Rose on Saturday and Benjamin absolutely loved all of the animals and thoroughly enjoyed feeding the baby goats. He started walking around everywhere in the little pin area and was just petting all of them! I think he thought they were just like Aspen :) He also found the cow bells and rang those for quite some time! We also enjoyed going for walks, the pool, and playing at the park! Hope you all had a great weekend!

And The Stats Are In...
Well today we went for Benjamin's 1 year check up! He received 3 shots and was such a champ...the nurse put a few little bandaids on the little guy and he was good as new!
Here are his stats at age 1:
Weight: 25.9 lbs (86th percentile)
Length: 31.75 inches (96th percentile)
Head: 18.75 inches (75th percentile)
He also had a big day at school and moved up to the big kids room (1 year old room)! He sat at a table to each his snack and lunch instead of a high chair and he slept on a little bed instead of his crib for naptime. He had a pretty decent day given that he has all new teachers! He had a busy day and did great!
