Autumn is near.

Lately, I've been showing my parents that I can talk more each day. A few weeks ago I woke up from my nap at my wonderful babysitters house and I said "Jud-iay, it sure is a nice day!" Judy agreed and gave me a big squeeze. 

Daddy is beginning a new racing season. Fall is cyclocross and super fun to watch.  His first race is this weekend so I'll be sure to snap some photos to show you. Daddy says it will be extra fun when he races in the rain: whick means mud and slippery slopes on the race course. 
















 
As most know I'm going to be a big brother this winter! I'm very excited to meet "my baby doll".

Do you like my new fall clothes?

Say cheese!  Happy Birthday Aunt Jane!
