Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

We had this picture taken at Legacy House this afternoon! I love it!
Hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween! I will post pictures soon of all of our Halloween activities this weekend!

Kindergarten Fall party!

Thursday was Christian's fall party in his classroom. Parents were invited to attend so I wanted to be there for his first official school party!

They had different tables with activities--making spiders and bats out of egg cartons, making your own sugar cookie, pin the face on the pumpkin and leaf rubbings. The kids rotated from one table to the next getting to participate in all of them!

Christian with his cookie! (He shared it with me too)

Andrew tagged along of course. He did great just sitting in his umbrella stroller chewing on toys.


Christian playing pin the face on the pumpkin!

Andrew and I watching the fun!

Red Ribbon Week!

This week was Red Ribbon Week at Christian's school. They teach the kiddos about not doing drugs. (Though I don't think Christian even knows what drugs are, but whatevs)

Spirit days for that week are as follows:

Monday: Team up against drugs.
Wear favorite team shirt.

Christian wearing his Razorback t-shirt and calling the Hogs! WoooPigSooie!

Tuesday: Tie down drugs.
Wear a tie.


Wednesday: Sneak out on drugs.
Wear camo.

Sorry, I forgot to take a picture that day. He does not really have any "camo" gear so he just wore a shirt that says "Big Brother" in camo lettering. And yes, he looked cute. ;)

Thursday: Drugs Aarrgh Bad
Dress like a pirate.

OK..by this point of the week, he was getting tired on me taking his picture before he left for school each morning. Thus, the rolling of the eyes. ;) His costume this year is a pirate outfit but I did not have him wear it to school since he had to wear it Friday night to his Fall Festival, a Halloween party on Sat, and then of course trick or treating Saturday night. So he wore a shirt that had a pirate ship on it. Close enough.

Friday: Read a book, don’t do drugs.
Dress like your favorite book character

OK, I dropped the ball on taking a picture this morning too. But Andrew woke up fussing a couple times during the night and then woke up at 5am so my morning was a bit rough. I was lucky to get dressed to take Christian to school.....wait, I just wore my jammies. ;)
Anyway, that one was kinda hard, so he had a shirt with a train car on it and one of his favorite books is "Katy the Caboose" so that's what we said was on his shirt. It worked.

Glad to be back to wearing whatever we want next week! Ha!

Bathtime!

Andrew has gotten too big to take a bath in the kitchen sink, so he is now in his bath seat in Christian's bathtub. The boys had their first bath together over the weekend! It was so fun watching them splash around together!


Christian loves his baby brother!

What fun!!

6 month checkup!

Andrew had his six month checkup yesterday! He is doing so well! He has been sitting up on his own for over a month and started crawling last week! (I will post a video soon!)

Andrew weighed 17 lbs. 8.3 oz. and was 26.5 inches tall!

He is doing great with baby food. We have done all the 1st food vegetables and have moved onto fruits. He REALLY loves pears! He has still been taking a bottle every 3 hours then eats three times a day. Dr. Hill said I should try to stretch out his bottle feedings to 4 hours since he is now eating food. I did that yesterday and he did fine. He only naps a hour or so in the morning and 1 1/2 to 2 hours mid-day. Since we have to leave the house to pick up Christian from school, getting a long afternoon nap is just not in the cards for us right now. ;)
He goes to bed at 6pm (just like Christian did!) and he wakes for a bottle around 9-10pm. He will sleep until 5:30 or 6am the next morning.

Andrew is also jabbering ALOT! When you say "dada", he will look at Jim. When you say "mama" he will look at me. He is so smart!

We go get our shots this morning! So glad I don't have to do that again until he is a year!

Riverdance!

Saturday night, Hope and I went to go see Riverdance at the Walton Arts Center.
It was the farewell tour of the show. I had seen it several years ago but still enjoyed the dancing and especially the music. I actually dig Irish music!

Below is a link to a short clip from the show...
