Clap, Clap, Clap

This past weekend, September 24th, Matthew's Grammy and Grampy (?) went on the ferry with us to Long Island, NY. While there, the ones able had wine, while the rest of us enjoyed gingerbread cookies and farmer market stops. Along the way, we found a pumpkin patch. With a little pumpkin of our own, how could we resist? :) So we stopped and let Matthew choose a pumpkin. He chose a big one and a small one. The small one, of course, was for the mouth! We had a great time. Well, for the most part. Matthew is not fond of his car seat but overall it worked out pretty well.

On Monday, I tested my Bean's IQ. I looked at him and without any actions, I told him "clap, clap, clap" and he looed at me with a big grin and took his tiny hands and went "clap, clap, clap" with them! It was so cute! Then I held out my hand and told him "high five!" and he gave me a high five. I think he understands a lot more than he can actually communicate.

Matthew will be 10 months October 4th. Sprout is 15 weeks and three days today. I haven't felt any definite movement from Sprout yet. My doctor appointments are two weeks apart, which is weird not being seen more often like I was with Matthew. I still have five weeks before we find out Sprout's gender. With the waiting on Matthew and now the extra five weeks, this is tough~ I WANNA KNOW!!

Well, just put Matthew down for a nap. It never fails, every nap and bedtime he has to scream. Hmm.... guess I'll just get used to it not sure how to change that. Sometimes it's only two minutes, sometimes it's 15. He's definitely not happy right now though!

Sprout's next check up is October 11th, my sister's birthday. I'm looking forward to it because the one after that is the gender appointment! YAY!
