Burke's first K-State Football Game!
Labor Day weekend Burke enjoyed 3 quarters of the preseason game vs. Missouri State in Manhattan. Mom and Dad took turns each quarter letting Burke stretch his legs. He sat on the bench by himself clapping and saying "Yay!" He had his first funnel cake and enjoyed the fireworks at the start of the game.
The Crofts all geared up for KSU Football
We celebrated Megan, Karyl and Dan's birthday with a dinner out in Manhattan.
We have walls! The framing of our home is underway and making our plans come to life.
Dan is diligent in capturing each day's progress.

Burke is enoying his booster seat...and a peanut butter sandwhich.
We have been working on Burke taking his own clothes off. We did get a report from his daycare teachers that he undressed one day at school during puzzle time. Next we will work on when it is appropriate to undress.
Burke has become more independent and can play quietly alone. Here he gets a little reading in.
Burke's latest art projects at school.
We took a Saturday field trip to the Olathe Ernie Miller nature center.
Burke is hissing at the snake.
One Saturday night we went to Nicole's house for dinner. Burke ran full speed into the dining room table corner and got this big goose egg, now bruise on his forehead right above his left eye. We are sure this is just the first of many unfortunately. He definitely milked the attention.
It must be all of Burke's reading. He has been sharing a new word a day. He is stringing words together, much to our entertainment.
Burke's words & phrases:
Beep (any electronic is named this). I see you. See ya. Night Night. Burke's (insert noun here such as hat, bowl, shoe, sock, book, etc), Mama Run. Dada Run. Eww. Big Moon, Baby hop, balloon. Bye Bye.
Chef Burke adds rice, broccoli, corn and avocado to his apple sauce and stirs. We named this a "Burke Special" ...only for Burke to eat and say Yummmmm.
Burke visits with Levi, my friend Michelle's 3 year old son.
We visited Michelle and sweet baby Isla (eye-luh) who just arrived 3 weeks ago.
The weather has been gorgeous and we have made many a trip to the dog park.
One Saturday we put Burke down for his daily nap about 11:30. He went down easily and it was quiet in his room so Dan and I assumed he was asleep. About noon, we heard a knocking from the inside of his bedroom door. We looked at each other, not knowing if we should believe our ears. We went to his bedroom door and opened it to check on him. Out comes Burke, streaking, diaper free and giggling! What!?!
Burke has figured out how to scale his crib and escape. We will be now converting his crib to a toddler bed to avoid any potential danger of him climbing out again and falling. We just need to anchor the bookshelf to the wall and "Burke proofing" his room should he not decide to sleep during nap time while he has the run of the room. Oh. Boy.
