I love Fall weather. I love the chill in the air (so I can wear my jackets and sweaters) and I love that I get to make a lot of soup and chili! I am waiting for Brad to have an away game so I can make some yummy clam chowder without him whining about it. If you didn't know, he has this rule that he won't kiss me for 24 hours after I've eaten any seafood. He is so silly. When he's gone, he doesn't know what I eat so I take advantage.
There was an exciting soccer game on Tuesday! Not for the girls, they won 5-0. It was nothing for them. The guys had lost to this team (Iowa Central) the first time they played them this season, but ended up winning 3-1! It was a really exciting game, I had a lot of fun watching it...when I wasn't chasing Donovan.
Donovan is getting more imaginative and likes to play pretend by himself. His newest game is punching the air, it's awesome. If you listen carefully you can hear Joyce, Hannah, and Bradley laughing.
The other night, Brad and I were talking about him and how adorable he is (as we often do) and he was saying how he loves that Donovan punches everything. Here I am trying to make sure Donovan isn't mean to other people, and Brad is encouraging violence. Awesome. I guess it's a guy thing to want a tough boy. I want him to stand up for himself, but I don't want him to punch people!
Donovan and I had some fun in the leaves the other day. It's really fun when the wind blows and the leaves fly out of the trees. He thinks it's pretty awesome. I love that we have a little bit of a yard so he can play in the leaves and the snow...but hopefully we won't have snow to play in for a while! I think we will spend more time outside now that it's a little cooler, it gets so miserable when it's hot! 
My cute boy is talking so much now. When we are alone, he repeats everything I say and I can always understand the last thing he says. It's going to be so fun when he talks like it's nothing. He has such a cute little voice. And yes, we are teaching him some phrases so he can compliment us...what's wrong with that?

What a handsome boy! If great Grandpa Newville saw the blog he would say,"He looks just like me, that is why he is soo Handsome". He is growing up to fast! Slow it down would ya? You are such a good mother! Love Ya!
I love that you're teaching him ways to compliment you. What a great idea. He sure does have a sweet little voice.
We skipped fall and went right to winter. All that white global warming all over the mountains. But I don't think I'm ready for winter yet. Your mother whined until I took out the cooler and started the furnace. Now that I've done that, maybe she'll make another yummy peach pie for me.
I love that he repeats all the things you say to him. It's clear too! The video of him punching looks like he's skipping too. Busy boy. Man, I miss him. Thank you for being so good to blog and capture his sweet voice and antics. I echo your mom, you are a fun and good mom.

I am very impressed with his talking skills now! He is a good little repeater.
Have you read SSB recently? Because she totally posted about loving fall because of sweaters and stuff. You are so hip.
I love the fall also! Such a fun time of the year. He is so cute playing in the leaves and when he was punching the air. too funny! =0)
I love fall too! Be careful what you wish for with the talking. Remember when we wish that Mason would talk? Yeah...now we have a kid that never STOPS talking!
On my way back from San Francisco, just outside of Reno, checking the blogs. Really enjoy reading and seeing things. Donovan is really getting big. Thanks for keeping up the blog. sam
We are having clam chowder tonight. ha!
I can't believe how much he is changing and just growing up! He is talking and learning so much. Love the punching video
I am due November 14
