Leify had to test drive every tractor at the farm. His legs still aren't long enough to peddle around on his own, so Leif had to help him around. He refused to take a nap that day so he was a little grumpy...especially when we tried to peel him away from the tractors. He didn't like the pony ride either at first. But warmed up to the idea about 2 minutes in, and then screamed when it was time to get off.
He really like the petting zoo area but was a little too nervous to keep the food in his hand long enough to feed the pygmy goats. As soon as they were about to lick his hand he would squeal and drop the oats. He enjoyed looking at the baby calves too, he kept mooing at them.
We rode the tractor out to the pumpkin patch and picked out some good ones. It was sooo muddy!! Leify took Courtney down with him one of the many times that he fell.
After the pumpkin patch we headed back to Papa and GramGram Jones' for cake and ice cream. Dana's birthday is the day after Leify's so she had a cake too! Leify has been obsessed with Bob the Builder lately so I made him a construction cake. I couldn't find any black twizzlers so I had to improvise and have red power lines. He was a little too distracted with all his presents though and didn't care about it at all.
Papa and GramGram got him an Appelator (Helicopter) that he LOVES....he had to hold onto it on the way home, even kept a hold of it in his sleep.
Leify looks like a 2 year old now! He is so adorable. I'm so glad the weather cooperated for you guys. Such a fun b-day for Leify. My favorite picture is with his bum in the air in the hay stack!
