Blueberry pickin'

We went blueberry picking! 

We went to Larriland Farms, and I'd totally recommend it. Spent probably an hour picking and went home with over 4 lbs. of blueberries. Awesome. 

Mr. Graff started with Studly in a sling while he was picking, but Studly had other plans. 

He wanted to be down on the ground picking blueberries, too. 

I was surprised at how long Studly lasted at blueberry picking, and how much he liked eating them right off the bush. I got blueberries from the store a few weeks ago (okay, they were not so good) and he flat out refused to eat them. Just mushed them up on his tray. 

These one though, were a different story. 

He like following us around, helping pick blueberries, ...

and stealing already picked ones from Mr. Graff. Not me, just Mr. Graff. And he enjoyed sitting on Mr. Graff's bag of blueberries. Haha! 

A Year in Pictures

This has been an incredible year. This little boy has changed my world in so many ways. I can't believe how much growth has happened--for him and me. From eating and sleeping, he's moved up to walking and talking (Mr. Graff taught him his first word yesterday,  "dude"). From not knowing how to burp a baby, to now having the ninja-like skills to changing the diaper of a moving toddler, I've feel like I've changed a lot, too. 

Here's a year in pictures of my babe:

Hiking

Can you see my friend? 

He's pretty well hidden... 

We found three big, three medium, and seventeen tiny toads on our hike and had to stop and look at each of them. Pretty cool! 

Studly got to ride, but he figured he could get a better view by standing and escaping his harness. 

Fun day! 

Photo Shoot

We were driving home when we found this couch, 

in the parking lot behind a grocery store. 

So, we decided this would be a great time for a photo shoot. 

Mr. Graff relaxing with our squirmy babe. 

"Let me down!" 

And off he goes...

to play with parking lot stuffs. 

He comes back for a moment to see Mom. 

But still wonders what else he can find. 

Mom's fun to play with, though. 

So, he lets her entertain him for a little while 

...before we pack up and head home. Good thing, too, this couch is in a two hour parking.
