Pumpkin Patch 2009

We ventured out into the Great Pumpkin Patch near our house. Presley is very good at saying "Pun-kin, Pun-kin" and surrounded by 700 of them is a fun place to be.

Getting some Pumpkin lovin! Punkin, you get a hug for growing so big!!

"Uhh, how bout this one? Can I have this one?"

Photo Op. Can you tell this is a forced "say cheese" moment? : )

One cute little punkin in the middle of a pumpkin patch!

Bubble Bath Fun!

The girl loves her bubble baths!

Texas A&M

We made a quick trip through College Station the other weekend and stopped to take some pictures. She's getting pretty good at giving the thumbs up while saying "Gig'Em" and even perfected her "Howdy!" while we were in town. : )

Here is a picture of Presley dancing underneath the new giant Aggie ring outside of the Alumni building.


The Century tree, of course.

Kyle Field.

Whoa.

...but her favorite thing was walking up all the steps. They impressed her the most. She would just keep begging us to take her up and down stairs. I'm pretty sure we all got our workout in that day. But on a positive note, she did sleep quite well so we're thinking of getting her a stairmaster for Christmas.

Twenty TWO

I know I won't get to do these "monthly" pictures for very much longer, but I'm trying to do it until at least the big 2 year mark. It's nice to have something to chronicle her age through the photo albums, etc.

21 MONTHS!

Happy 21 Month Birthday, Presley!

Golden Birthday!

Presley is 20 months old today! And since she's 20 months on the 20th, that makes it her "golden birthday". Usually we would be talking about years, but since we are still in the month stage, we'll go with that.

Try to excuse the dribble shirt. That's water from the sippy cup, not just drool. : )
Studying everything. . .

And this is her totally "out" on the whole picture taking thing. She's just plopped down on the floor not really giving a care at all about posing for the camera. : )

Dallas Zoo

Since we have recently tried out the Ft. Worth Zoo, we wanted to be fair and try out the Dallas Zoo, as well. I know that Ft. Worth is supposed to be one of the best zoos in the nation, but Dallas is making a bunch of renovations to compete. So we went and gave it a chance.


Presley walked around and loved looking at all of the animals. They were easier to see than at the Ft. Worth Zoo since the areas are a bit smaller. They had less places to hide from us! So she loved that. She has recently been fascinated with Rhinos - in books that we've been reading. So she was really interested to see one in real life.

I think this was the lion that just kept prancing back and forth perfectly in front of the window. That was fun to see!

What kid doesn't love a giraffe?

The jaguar was another one of the animals that were much easier to see at the Dallas Zoo.


What does an alligator say?....Snap! (as his jaws slam shut)

Presley loves penguins: books, stuffed animals, real life...all of them! So we spent a good little chunk of time at this tank. There was one little penguin in particular who would swim right in the front -back and forth- and seemed to be just playing with us!
