Funny Video

This is Karsten, falling asleep, bottle in hand.

Ahhh......quiet time

Now that I finally have a little time on my hands (little man is upstairs napping as I type this) I decided to catch up a little by getting all the pictures uploaded to the computer and finally posting so all of you can see how big our little guy is getting.

Karsten is turning out to be a lot like his dad and is very impatient sometimes about eating. We have started to give him more and more finger foods so he can feed himself because he'll get mad when we try to feed him with a spoon. He'll tend to grab on while trying to get the spoon into his mouth and we try to hang on so he doesn't make a huge mess. Well, needless to say, most of the time he will get the spoon away from us and he'll end up looking like this:


He will be quite the little musician someday. He enjoys sitting at the keyboard, pounding away.


On labor day we made another trip out to the zoo. Karsten is really starting to enjoy animals (he always plays with the dogs and cats that all of our neighbors have). This was while we were waiting for the bird show to start.....it was about the only time throughout the show that Karsten wasn't being a squirm worm.


Remember how I said that we are feeding Karsten more real food? This is before and after spaghetti night. He was such a huge mess that he got a bath right after dinner and I had to wash all of his clothes right away because he had it everywhere!



Last night, since I had the day off today and Brice didn't have to get up at the butt crack of dawn this morning, we decided to take a trip out to one of the numerous apple orchards that are just south of here. Karsten had his first tractor ride,

and picked and ate his first apple right off of the tree.


After we got off of the tractor after picking, Karsten was still working on his apple. Notice how he looks like a little chipmunk.....



Karsten also managed to make a new friend while we were at the orchard.


After we got home, there were a couple of huge toads that were on our porch. I let Karsten chase them around for a while - that was pretty entertaining! I put him down to show him the toad and he stood up all by himself for almost 10 seconds. He could have stood for longer but once he realizes that he's by himself, he'll plop on his butt and refuse to stand anymore. Anyway, after Karsten went to bed, Brice and I actually got to sit down together and watch a movie in I don't know how long. We watched 27 Dresses which I highly recommend - Brice even admitted that he liked it!

Hopefully we will have some walking stories here pretty soon. Karsten LOVES to walk his high chair (it has wheels on it) around the house but he just won't let go of anything for long. We'll see how much longer it takes him. I thought for sure that he would be walking by now but I think he is one of those kids that's just not interested.

Well, that's all for now. Enjoy the pictures and the beautiful weather we have had lately!
