Apples!

Well its that time of year again, the nights are cool and getting dark early and the smell of burnt leaves and pumpkins is in the air, its my favorite time of year its FALL!!!!!

The other day we went to an apple orchard to get some apples and you would have thought we dropped Gavin off at Disneyworld. He was screeching and running and just generally have a great time. I gave him an apple to hang on to and he had a death grip on that thing. Nothing could pry that out of his hands. We walked around and ooooohed and ahhhhed over tracters and tire swings and went to get back into the car. I let him hold the apple thinking he will tire of it, throw it over his car seat where it would stay until I started smelling something unpleasent in my car and realize it was the apple. I can however say with confidence that will not happen because he ate it!!! I was driving along with my mom and all of a sudden we heard a crunch. I look back that kid is chowing on that apple like a champ. He was taking tiny bites and rolling it around like he knew what he was doing before. I look back and go "What are you doing" To which he gives me a devil grin and keeps happily eating away. We stopped at a store and I got back in the back seat and this kid had eaten the WHOLE apple. I am talking down to the core, he handed it to me and just looked away like "Phew mom, that was good." I was in shock.. How could this 20 pound 1 year old polish off an apple? It was one of those moments when you felt a high five would be appropriate, but nope he just wanted to be left alone to relish in his apple accomplishment. Well, alrighty then!
