Giddy Up, We Got A Pumpkin

So you already know that I'm three now. What you might not have known was that I had like 73 parties. Also, I'm getting taller.

This is how a real cowboy rides.

Reflecting on the meaning of life while thinking that if I just had the chance, I'm sure I could have invented the wheel.

What a funny looking flower! Seriously, have you ever seen a flower with hands? Everything else looks right, but those hands are just kind of silly.

You can't tell but I'm in a staring contest with a buffalo. I won.

It is a family tradition for us to go to the pumpkin patch. It may quite possibly be one of my favorite things to do.

One thing you don't want on your pumpkin is "yucky." Keep that in mind.

In the end it came down to these two little beauties. It was a pretty rigorous process.

This is my fourth p-patch trip so I'm pretty much an expert by now.

One thing I've learned over time is that cows smell funny. And by funny, I mean they are stinky.

The best part about Halloween is carving up the pumpkin. No wait, it's going to stranger's doors and asking them for candy. Yeah, that's way better.

We did a cat this year. Meoooooooooow.

Alright then, that's it. See ya!

This 1/2 Year Old Has A Tooth

Try to think back to when you turned one-half. What a memorable day. You know they say all babies are cute, but come on, not this cute.

This is the bumbo seat and it can't hold me for much longer.

Long-time fans of gradyworld will probably recognize this shirt. You might remember a slightly younger Grady posing in this back in 2005.

A few weeks a go we went to the patch to check out some pumpkins. I had to fuel up as soon as we got there.

Finding the perfect pumpkin is not something we take lightly. Of course it's hard to keep your focus when you have to deal with these clowns.

As you already know, updates to this site or sporadic. Who knows when this was but I remember that it wasn't nearly warm enough for him to run through that sprinkler. But hey, what can you do?

There's only two places I like avocado. In my belly and on my face.

Raise your hand if you've already celebrated Thanksgiving. That's right, we went to see Great Grandma on October 19 for Thanksgiving. Just go with it.

Grandpa was there for Thanksgiving too. Yes, I still mean Thanksgiving, in October.

One day Grady rattled off about 10 names of people he said were his best friends and Aunt Kelli was one of them. Yea Kelli! If you're reading this, you should just assume you were too.

Dad put me in these PJs with the legs that were too short. It took Mom all of about 45 seconds to change that when she got home.

As you read at the top I got my first tooth. Pretty cool huh?

Playing Hooky

Thursday was Daddy and Grady Day. Dad picked me up from school after lunch and we played hooky.

The best place to be on a beautiful day is the ballpark. I took my ball...

...and my glove.

This is right after we got off the escalator. The funny thing is we didn't have to ride the escalator because we didn't sit at the top. But we rode it anyway because it was our day we wanted to.

For most of the game I sat in this seat. A nice man and woman gave us the tickets when we walked up. As you can see there was plenty of room to stretch out. Gotta love the Royals in September.

After the sixth inning we got up to walk around a little.

There was construction going on all over the place. Many of you may know that I have already said I want to be a construction worker when I grow up. I tried to talk to some of the workers but I guess they couldn't hear me over all the banging.

In case you were wondering the Royals won 12-0 which was their 7th win in a row. And I fell asleep before we were out of the parking lot. Good times.

A Grandparent's Day Song

An original tune by the one and only Grady Owen.

Colin and me got haircuts at a new spot because we moved. The barber chair might very well be where I am the best listener. Maybe it's because they usually have suckers.

A big highlight for me at Colton's birthday party was the Dino Dig...

...where I uncovered these dinosaur bones.

As you know my birthday is tomorrow. The main thing I've been asking for is dirt. And cupcakes with two kinds of sprinkles.

A Grandparent's Day Hello

Hello Grandparents. Today is your day. This video was made specially for you.

Some things I've been doing include thinking about using this excersaucer. After trying it once it looks like I'll probably like this thing. But I'm not really big enough yet.

And did you know I got a haircut? Yes it's ridiculous. Ask Mom how much she paid for two little snips.

If you've ever rode in the back seat with your brother you know sometimes you just have to cry out for help.

Lastly, we went to Colton's birthday party yesterday. It was a nice day in the park and has all excited for Grady's party next weekend.

Growing Up Quick

As I'm closing in on four months old, I'm definitely growing up quick! I'm already doing such amazing things as holding this burp rag! Crazy.

7 out of 10 pictures of me look almost exactly like this. The close up head shot while on my belly has become my go-to pic.

But sometimes you've got to mix it up. I'm versatile with the poses. This is called "Cool and Calm Colin," or 3C. Ok, I just made that up.

In a rare moment of actual news on this wonderful website, rice cereal is now on my menu. The first time I had it, I ate like I had never had food before. Which was true. Because formula isn't really food.

Another pose showing my range of talent. This one is called Checking Nails. But that's just what the picture is called. What I'm actually doing is getting ready to chew on my fingers.

Another go-to pic. Is it just me or do I look fantastic in green?

This was just me and Dad being silly with Grady's hat.

If you come see me, you will see this smile. A lot. Because that's what I do. I smile. A lot.

But remember I'm versatile. 3C.

Back on the belly. No my hair is not red. I've heard Grady's hair looked red in some pictures too. I don't know why. I blame the photographer.

If you know Dad, you know he's not afraid to take the self picture. And like I said, I smile a lot.

I leave you for now with a picture of two awesome dudes.
