Aunt Rayna

Forrest learned how to throw sticks for Rayna! Sometimes he forgets to actually throw it and just puts it in her mouth but it's a fun game for everyone. Of all the dogs in Forrest's life, Rayna is by far the most patient and pettable.

Fall Woods

Daddy showed Forrest all the fun things to be found in the woods and Lotus showed us how muddy she can get.

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

Forrest and Ryah have known each other since before they were born, but they've just now started noticing each other.

More Sliding

Yet another slide that Forrest has learned to climb up and slide down by himself. He still forgets to sit down sometimes, but he's basically getting the hang of it!

15 Months Old!

 Forrest is 15 months old! He's 26 pounds, which is just about the 90th percentile. He's bigger than some 2-year-olds, but still not quite as well-balanced as they are. He sure knows how to keep busy, bopping around the house banging and climbing things. He's just started to be interested in books so that's a whole new world for him. He still just has the 8 teeth but I'm sure that will change soon. He's a bit of a picky eater, there are probably about 10 foods he will reliably eat. His favorite is fruit, but beyond that he's pretty into avocado and cheese, and specific types of tofu and rice. There are way more things that make him laugh then ever before, so aside from the tantrums and biting that comes with the toddler territory, we're having a pretty good time these days!

Sitting in a Tree

What better place for a giggle than a nice tree branch?

Bead Maze

Contrary to popular belief, bead mazes actually do exist outside of doctors offices! And this was one of the rare occasions Forrest decided to play with one.

Pumpkin Tree

We spotted a fabulous specimen of the elusive northeastern pumpkin tree! But Forrest was unimpressed as he much prefers his pumpkins on the ground.

Pumpkin Patch

Fun trip to a pumpkin patch with Auntie Sarah and Auntie Sue. Forrest is totally on board with the pumpkin craze but he prefers to climb on them rather than use them to flavor all of his foods.

Corn Maze

Even though he loves corn on the cob, Forrest wasn't actually too into the corn maze. He thought it was a little too corny.

Crate for Two

Fits one large dog or two small children.

Track Star

Taking a few laps with Daddy.

Electric Slide

Although you have to make sure he remembers to sit down at the top, Forrest can climb up and slide down the slide all by himself!

Out for a Stroll

Just strolling down my street like a regular person, no big deal. Notice Forrest's favorite mailboxes in the background!

A Walk on the Pier

At Long Wharf in New Haven, we saw boats, seagulls, and some very prolific fisherpeople. I think grandpa and dad were more excited about the fish than Forrest so it was a good outing all around.

Early Morning Chat

Not sure who wakes up whom, but the kids do enjoy their 6am chats. Now if only Lotus could keep Forrest occupied the rest of the day...

New Pet

Someone wants to take this little pink guy home with him!

Other People's Pumpkins

Forrest likes to carry around the pumpkin we have at home. Unfortunately ours got moldy and now he thinks all the pumpkins in the neighborhood belong to him.
