Bundle of Boy

This bundle of boy brings me joy. Although he keeps me on my toes. He just turned nine months old and he is constantly needing something to stimulate his mind. I cannot be out of his view for one minute or he freaks out! He has started to become more aware of his surroundings and realizes he can now get around by doing the army crawl. He does get up on his knees and rocks back and forth, but hasn't quite figured out how to move that way yet. He also no longer lays back in his baby tub, he has to sit up and splash. Loves to be the center of attention at all times! He loves when Tyler comes home from work and gets upset if Tyler doesn't pick him up right away! It has been fun for us to watch him grow and learn and explore.

Happy Halloween

Thursday was a busy day of Halloween parades, dress-up, and parties. It wore my little guy out!

Everyone patiently waiting for Holdens parade

No he is not a cow, he is the cutest little puppy ever!

Getting tired already and the parade hasn't even started

Really hard to tell, but he is Indiana Jones, the 3rd grade does this annoying thing, where they are supposed to be a character from a book, and then redraw the cover of the book they are from. So he is covered by his picture, but he was cute anyway!

My amazing Superman

He was so tired and done by this time

This was one of those proud mommy moments, I don't think anyone knows how BIG this was that he was walking!! He has such a hard time with transistions, and when he doesn't know where he is going he just sits down. So before, he would have to ride in a wagon or something, but they are working so hard with him to be comfortable moving from one thing to the next. Nancy, the lady in front of him, is AWESOME! She is the aide that works with him and she is so patient and loving with him, I couldn't have asked for anything more. You can maybe hear me say to her that he was walking, and she says that he is doing wonderful. We truly have been blessed by those that have worked with him at this school.

Pumpkin Carving

This is the first year Holden actually came up with the design and cut it out himself, he was so proud!

Smile

Finley brings a lot of fun and laughter into our home, I hope this video and the pictures will bring a smile to your face as they do to ours!

Look Who is Sitting Up!

My dear sweet Finley,

It has been a great pleasure getting to know you for the last eight months!

Love, Mom

Mozart

I was at my friends house for book club and had brought Caleb with me. He was in the other room, and we started to hear plinking on her piano. It was Caleb, and I was surprised at how soft he was pushing the keys and not banging. When we went to my parents for dinner, I showed him their piano so he would play again, and we could get it on video. He is my little future Mozart in training. Music is in his soul, all I can say is there must be beautiful music in heaven, because it draws him in like no other medium!
