Little Giraffe!

On Tuesday night we went to the Alliances' Halloween party. Chapman was a giraffe. He had a blast playing with the kids and eating more cookies than real food (thanks dad!). I think this costume is just so darn cute. I'm sure he'll agree one day!



Chapman iced some cookies and ate them all! Notice the orange icing on his fingertips!



We had such a fun time!

Cape Girardeau Trip

Chapman and I went to Cape Girardeau for the week and had so much fun. Here are some pictures from our time there.


Amy & cousin Caden were in town and we got to play one night!


Grandpa Jerry got out this drum set that Mitch & Ricky played with. Needless to say, Chapman loved it!!! We're glad that's staying at their house!

A little "behind the back" drum playing!


And of course we had to get out the harmonica. Chapman couldn't quite figure it out.

We went to Bethany's house in Red Bud, IL one night to visit Gigi's family. Bethany was feeding Chapman a cupcake when I took this picture. He's not enjoying it at all, right??

Our fun week was topped off by going to Pop's scrimmage games on Friday & Saturday. Mitch came and met us on Friday night. We had a great week!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today and picked a pumpkin and enjoyed a hay ride and seeing lots of animals. Chapman had such a good time.

This is the tractor we rode on.

Aunt Christie is holding Chapman up so he can see all of the animals.

Chapman's friend Louisa is looking with him.


Chapman saw a donkey.

The Mississippi State Fair

We took Chapman to the Mississippi State Fair. He didn't get to ride any rides but he sure had fun! He tried funnel cake for the first time and loved it. We went with our small group from church and their children had a great time riding the rides. We just went along for the fun of it. Here are some pictures of us.

Chapman touched a baby alligator!!! He was fascinated by it.

Good Night Moon....Good Night Chapman

Chapman loves to read books. He wouldn't sit still for more than 30 seconds prior to a few days ago but all of the sudden he loves reading books (and turning the pages). Every night we read to him before he goes to sleep. Mitch & I really enjoy this time with him.


Favorite Drawer

Now that Chapman can crawl and get into everything he loves opening drawers. His favorite drawer is in the kitchen. He opens it, pulls himself up and then proceeds to take everything out. He thinks it's so fun. Here are some pictures of him from last night.






He takes every sippy cup out and "tests" it just in case it has something in it. It is too funny!
