Talbot Talk

We wanted to enjoy our last nice day before the cold hit so we went to Sugarhouse Park on Sunday afternoon. We brought along some stale bread to feed the birds too.
I thought for sure Cam would be a little scared with those crazy, man eating birds surrounding his little hand holding their food. Nope. He LOVED them. He also loved picking up the pieces he would "throw" (the way he says it is sooo cute) and try to eat them. GROSS!! Bird poop everywhere. We had to keep a good eye on him.
After the bread was gone we had to leave. No walking around with him. Unless of course we swam. He loved the water and would not walk anywhere other than on the ledge.

I had the joys of experiencing Winco yesterday! I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. I hate the commercials...the stupid faces the people make drives me crazy. I am going to start changing the channel as soon as I hear the song..."Winco...do do do..."

Those were just some of my finds. The baby food was cheap. Ice cream cheap. The meat area was so busy, I didn't attempt it. You also have to bag all your own stuff.
It was a drive and somewhere obviously not convenient to go often, but was fun. I hope they open one close by!

Here is Cam helping me put the groceries away. He pulled the can out, and put them back in the bag about...3 times. It was nice while I actually put stuff away. Nice little helper!

I was doing my hair the other day and asked Cam to play somewhere else so I wouldn't have to constantly ask him to close the drawer, don't pull on the toilet paper, don't touch the toilet, don't fall in the tub...Get my drift?
After I was finished, all of 6 minutes, I hear NOTHING!
I go in the living room and this is what I find...
Cam got in his diaper bag, pulled out his dried fruit snacks, dumped the bag and was chowing down!
So cute! He did exactly what mom asked him plus a mess!

A little late with these pictures but...
On Saturday we took Cam on his first hayride to a Pumpkin Patch! We had a blast. Everyone in the area needs to go to this one. You go on a hayride, pick your pumpkin (out of a zillion) and ride back. Sounds like a normal pumpkin patch right? Well this one is FREE! Even the pumpkin! (1 per person) It is at J and J Nursery in Layton. Check it out. They only do it the next 3 Saturday's from 10 -4. http://www.jjnursery.com/

Here are some pics from that trip. You can see there was something on my lens, in every picture there is a blur at the top. Maybe it was a ghost!!! (nope, just a fuzz ball that was discovered after)

For a while now, Cam would pull himself up on the furniture and walk while holding on to them, so I thought for sure he would be walking soon after he turned 1. Nope! Little stinker just took his sweet ol' time. He became more brave 2 weeks ago and would take a step every once in a while. Then he became more willing to hold our hands and walk.

Then a week ago he officially started walking! Now he won't stop. I was getting a little worried about him, seeing he was almost 14 months and still lacked the skill.

The next obstacle was to get him to put shoes on! He would always curl his toes up! I have never been big on putting him in shoes. Last winter he was a little baby, and summer, well you know, who needs shoes?! I found that I was trying to shove his poor little foot in a shoe too small. I took him to get sized and he is actually a 5. Opps! Sorry love! I guess matching the bottom of his foot up to the sole of a shoe is not actually "sizing".

Today, while running errands, I parked far away so he could experience walking into the store. He loved it. He waved to every single person he saw and screamed HI while waving. He was a bit mad at me for putting him in the cart. I cannot carry his 27 pound body for long!

Here are some cute videos of him walking. He loves to throw things...as you will see. He is saying "throw" if you can tell in the first video.
