Recognizing Fall

Carter: "Oh no . . . what happened Mom?"

Me: "What are you talking about Carter?"

Carter: "Look, look, what happened?"

Me: I walk over to the bay window he is standing in front of and say, "What happened to what Carter?"

Carter: "What happened to the leaves on the trees; they are gone?"

10 months down

Check out my teeth!

I can not believe that Campbell is almost 1! Where does the time go?! I am sad that she is slowly moving out of the baby stage but also excited to see her move on to bigger things. It seems like every day she is doing something new. This past weekend, she pulled up for the first time. Brandon and I were both standing there watching her so that was fun for both of us. She is constantly moving unless she is asleep. As soon as she is put down she is off. Took me a while to get the above pictures because she just wanted to crawl off the chair! Yesterday she fed herself breakfast for the first time; yummy cheerios and banana pieces - which made for a nice mess too! Her 5th tooth is appearing but she still loves to put everything in her mouth; Carter's stickers are her favorite!! She babbles a lot and has the perfect little high pitched squeal that every girl has! Not sure of her exact weight but she is somewhere in the 17 lb. range. Here we go, the next 2 months are about to fly on by!

Getting ready for the Halloween party

We had a busy Halloween week. It started with Trunk R Treat at our church on Wednesday, followed by a parade in our neighborhood park early Friday then trick r treating and the week finished up with a Halloween party on Saturday afternoon. At least we got good use of the costumes! Carter was the infamous Lightning McQueen and after he got over the initial embarrassment he enjoyed it. He loved all the candy though! I think he is still on a sugar rush! Campbell was a ladybug and couldn't have been more perfect. While I toted Campbell in the wagon Carter practiced his nice manners in hopes of getting lots of candy on Friday! Now, if the kids could only get use to the time change all would be good!
