October 2021 Recap

This October has been an awesome month! It has felt really long probably because we were able to fit in a lot of fun things and also see a lot of family. I absolutely love this time of year and really enjoyed being outside with Robert as much as possible. 

Robert and I went to his first pumpkin patch at Holly Fork Farm with a group of MOPS friends. We did a hayride, saw the farm animals and picked out a few pumpkins to bring home to Dada. It was a fun day out! 







I love being able to see my parents spontaneously! One day this month I was itching to get out of the house, so I called my Mom and Dad to see if they wanted to meet Robert and I in Colonial Williamsburg to enjoy the fall weather on the Palace Green. Both Robert and I were all smiles the entire time. 







Soccer!! Rob, Robert and I got to see almost all 7 of the Williamsburg cousins play soccer this month. Super fun getting to see them play!

Will coaches for Tripp and Ben's team. This is the first time Uncle Will held Robert. We couldn't believe it but yep, it was true! 














Robert and I had an awesome day trip to visit Auntie Ashleigh in Richmond. We sat out in Maymount Park and enjoyed the weather while eating delcious bagels, drinking coffee and then splitting a beer. It was really nice catching up with Ashleigh. I got to hear about her job, her trip to the beach and discussing her and Rob's upcoming plans to bike the Capital Trial together. 




Ashleigh and Rob biked the Capital Trial! Rob did the entire 100 miles. He left around 5:30am and rode to Richmond where Ashleigh met him for the return ride back to Williamsburg. Chris and Katie surprised them at about mile marker 3 with cheering and then Chris joined in for the last trek to Billsburg. Ashleigh stayed the night with us in Williamsburg. We enjoyed going to Aleworks Brewery and watching football on Sunday. Robert loved sucking on his first chicken wing bone- like father, like son.











Robert's first (of many, I know) injuries! While I was watching him- literally had my eyes on him- a framed poster fell on his head. I'd like to pretend that I was calm and cool about the whole thing but I cried and was a total worry wart the rest of the day. I took these pictures after he woke up from his next nap. He was his happy self the rest of the day! There wasn't even a bruise the next morning. Still, it hurt my heart to see him upset & hurt. 




Rob and I did our first hand & foot art craft with Robert. It was a bit messy but overall we had fun! Rob was a good sport about helping me load up Robert's sweet feet and hands with paint. Next time, we may not need to use so much, haha




Aunt Caroline, her friend Bob, Gaby and Papa Laser came to visit Williamsburg for a few days! We met for a picnic lunch on W&M's campus, enjoyed delcious homemade pizza by Katie at Chris & Katie's house Friday night and simply enjoyed time together. It was a wonderful visit! 






Some sweet photos of Rob and Robert's nightly routine of reading bedtime books together. 




Robert and Mama selfies this month. He currently loves to crawl over to the dishwasher and look at his reflection. I just had to try and capture it. 



A few videos from this month...
