Fall Fun Festivities

Over the weekend Mom, Dad & I went with Uncle Jon & Ann Marie to the Philly Food & Wine Festival. I was really excited to go, but by the time we got there I was sound asleep. We were at the Philadelphia Convention Center at Oaks - tons of vendors, booths, food samples, beer & wine tastings and a lot of noise. All the commotion didn't bother me - I continued to sleep until we left. Dad pushed me in my stroller from vendor to vendor & used my sippy cup hold to hold his wine glass. We finished the festival off watching Terry French whip up some pork belly - my nose must work really well because I was definitely hungry after the demonstration. Here's Dad:

Here I am sleeping at the festival & during Terry French's demonstration:

Afterwards I went with everyone out to eat at Iron Hill Brewery. This was my first time out to eat on a weekend. Mom put me in the Moby wrap because there wasn't enough room at the table for my carseat. I fell fast asleep & let Mom and Dad enjoy some adult time out. Mom almost got to finish her dinner before my wet diaper woke me up screaming. Mom changed my diaper in the bathroom & I screamed the whole time. The hostess was restocking the stalls with toilet paper & hovered over me while Mommy changed my diaper (I thought it was really weird for a stranger to watch me get my diaper changed). I slept really well after my long day out on the town. Here's a picture of the family out to eat:

On Sunday, we had another long day out. We went to Linvilla Orchards in the morning so I could pick out my 1st pumpkin. I was so excited for pumpkin picking, but fell asleep by the time we got there. Mom carried me in the Moby wrap & stayed fast asleep the whole time. Mom & Dad did a little shopping at the market, sampled some apple cider & cider donuts and then scoped out the pumpkin scene. We found a great pumpkin that Dad's going to carve later this week & I even got my own Win sized pumpkin. It's small enough for me to hold in my hands. Here's a picture of me at the orchard:

After the orchard, we headed to Fairmont Park to attend the "Taste of Fall" Junior League fundraiser. I needed a snack to tide me over for the afternoon. After my snack, I fell back asleep & let mom enjoy all the yummy food & delicious fall beverages. What a great weekend!! This week while Dad's at work, Mom & I are planning to get out & make some friends at the new mom meetups. We were able to get out of the house in time for Mommy & Baby yoga this morning. We almost didn't make it there because I kept peeing my diaper every time Mommy tried to put me in my carseat. We finally made it there - 10 minutes late (which was OK because some moms didn't arrive until 45 minutes later). Mom introduced me to her yoga instructor Randi. Randi was really excited to meet me & watched me grow as Mommy's belly grew during prenatal yoga. There were 7 other babies in yoga class. I was the youngest by a month and a half. I think Mommy was just eager to get out of the house, which is why other mommy's of 1 month olds weren't there. In any case, we had a good time. I let Mom get in a few yoga poses now & again - I really wanted her to hold me & she tried to do both (I think she probably looked silly trying to rock me in yoga poses). All the moms and babies were really nice - you can tell they've all made friends with one another. Mom & I are going to love coming to yoga on Tuesdays. I got invited to my first party by Daniel's mom. It's a Halloween party & Mom is really excited to attend. Next up this week: we're going to a dinner party at Uncle Jon & Ann Marie's house tomorrow (Mom & I are going to bake an apple pumpkin brown betty tomorrow to bring to the party), we're going to attempt to walk a few miles on Kelly Drive, going to Merrymead Farm for a hayride this Friday and venturing out to NJ for the first time this weekend (it's Pop's birthday party). Stay tuned!!
