Down on the farm

Today we stopped somewhere outside of Lima to pick Louis' first pumpkin. How exciting! There were so many beautiful pumpkins to choose from but we got a very special one! The sun was shining. It was a perfect day.

Look at all those pumpkins (and Louis' bald spot)!

On the road again...

We're heading to Lima this weekend to visit with Louis' grandparents (Matt's parents). Hopefully the boy's on his best behavior. He's been pretty tired this week after school.

School dayz

Louis loves school! He has so many friends - Will, Molly, Big Jack, Bailey & others which he plays with each day. They finger paint, sing songs, and spend a lot of time just looking at each other. However, most of Louis' friends are older than he is and have already transitioned out of the infants classroom. And, just this week, Louis began his own transition. A couple hours each day he goes to the 'older' kids room to play. Pretty soon he'll spend all day there. We're really proud of him and happy that he'll be in a room with kids who are meeting the same developmental milestones that he is. It seems like it was just a few days ago when we were dropping him off that first time - what a heartbreaking experience!

Half Way to my First B-day!

Birthday's are met with such excitment at our house. We spend the entire week leading up to them celebrating. So, it's no surprise that this week we're celebrating all of Brown Sprout's accomplishments in the first 6 mos. of his life. If I'm doing the math right, that's less than 200 days! That's a short amount of time to have accomplished quite a bit. In fact, we now have the high chair out (even though we're not using it quite yet) and he's started sleeping in is own room in his crib (no more pack'n play in our room).

Happy Half-Birthday Son! Have a great week.

Day two in the blog-o-sphere

Louis is 6 mos. old today! Matt and I are celebrating by encouraging Louis to sleep in his own room, in his crib. He did great last night. After his 5 a.m. bottle, we put him back in his crib where he played for about 30 minutes and then put himself back to sleep without crying. I was so proud! The little guy really tries hard to be a good boy!

Meet my little brown sprout

Meet Louis Michael Brown. Born April 9, 2009. He is an onery little guy who has filled my life with such great joy and quite a bit of exhaustion. And, boy is he growing quickly. He already has two bottom teeth, expertly rolls over, laughs big belly laughs - the type that can't help but make you smile and he loves TV.

But, he's not all Angel. Unfortunately, he bites occasionally and may spit his carrots at you - it just depends on the day! But, imperfections and all - we love the little tyke.

Let's start blogging!

I facebook, tweet, post photos to Flickr, Shutterfly and I Heart Faces and now I blog! Welcome to my site - Adventures of Little Brown Sprout. This blog's dedicated to my son, Louis and his uncanny ability to help me find joy in everything around me.
