Look what I can do!!


Michael is learning to use a spoon to feed himself! He really surprised me, I didn't think he would be able to do so well! He ate his oatmeal, yogurt, an applesauce today all on his own. About half of it ended up on his tray or shirt, but he really enjoyed being a big boy and doing it on his own!

Gymnastics





I took the good camera to the gym today. These pictures catch him in action much better!

Cambria


We made a day trip to Cambria to visit Moses and his family at their family reunion. Anthony played basketball and Michael and I walked around the site and played outside. It's so nice to have beautiful places like this so close to home!

Sweet angel baby!

Michael is the most loving and adorable boy! He's been having a tough time sleeping at night because of all the teeth that are coming in and now I think he caught the cold I had this last week! Being congested and teething is not a good combination! So the last few nights I've been up three to four times a night help him sleep, change leaky diapers, etc. His daddy tries to help out but he usually fusses until I come and lay next to him.

It's exhausting, especially being that I'm pregnant and crawling out of my bed and into his and back again all night long is a work out with this large belly! There have been times in the middle of the night when I'm wide awake and trying to sneak out of his room when I think "how will I ever rest when I have a newborn and Michael still can't sleep through the night?" Then panic sets in when I realize Jacob will be here in about two months and I'm already sleep deprived! Haha! It's going to be an adventure that's for sure!

I'm really looking forward to it honestly. Life couldn't be better right now. I have an amazing husband, a little boy that I love so much and who loves me back, and very soon there will be another boy to love and cuddle!

This morning, after Michael woke up from sleeping 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep (so rare I had to fight the urge to check on him) I went into his room to get him. He stood up and grabbed his monkey stuffed animal I've been putting in bed with him, and he clumsily walked over to
me. We snuggled up on the couch and watched an episode of the 'wiggles'. He hugged the monkey the entire time! This is the first time he's ever attached to something other than his binky or mama, it was adorable!

I'm so lucky to be his mom.

At the park with grandma!!








Leslie and Bruce came for a visit and Leslie and I took Michael to the park. He sure loves her!





Baby Gym!

We go to the gym on Wednesday mornings where they let little ones play. Michael has been about 5 times now and he absolutely loves it! It's getting harder to keep after him now that he can run. He is fearless and will run straight off the trampoline and ledges! He is learning to crawl off thankfully!


The pictures are blurry because he is constantly running around! I can't get his attention! Lol!

Happy Halloween!






Michael's friend Addy came over to trick-or-treat with us tonight. The parents did all the work carrying them door to door but they had a good time!


Trunk or treat!






We took Michael to the park to trunk or treat. A local church put it on for the kids. He had no clue what was going on and it was sooo hot that it was a very short excursion. He looked very cute in his costume though!

Pumpkin patch take 3!!!





My husband is such a good sport! I somehow convinced him to take us to the pumpkin patch again for some MORE pictures. I totally needed some shots in the daylight!
