Videos!

Here is the most recent video of Caden laughing. He is such a happy boy!



Here he is rolling over for the second time. He hasn't done it since, haha!



Avery usually goes running in the other direction when I get the video camera out but here is a cute one:



Since then she has also learned to hold up two fingers when asked how old she's going to be!

This is my favorite video. This is pretty much what happens when I try to get something Caden is doing on video, lol.

Disclaimer: At the end she is not calling me a "bitch". At least I don't think she is because she wouldn't know that word. I think she is saying "reach" because she wants me to give her the camera.

Fall!

I think Fall is my favorite season. You have the excitement and anticipation of the holiday season fast approaching. We finally have some nice weather (sometimes, ha!). There's also those yummy pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks!

We took Avery and Caden over to Memorial Arboretum to try and get some nice Fall pictures. Unfortunately, Avery decided not to cooperate. At all. Some of them turned out really cute though. :)












Happy Halloween!

We had the best Halloween! It was Avery's first time going trick or treating and we went with her bff, Mia. They had so much fun. They kept walking into people's houses. LOL! Here are some pictures from the evening.







Caden stayed home with my mom to help pass out candy. He was supposed to be a lobster but outgrew his costume, the little chunk! Instead, he wore Avery's frog costume from last year.



We tried to get some good pictures of both kids in their costumes. As you can tell they were not having it.





I hope everyone else had a wonderful and spooky Halloween!

Catching Up

Sorry- I've been a really bad blogger. My laptop's hard drive crashed so we got a brand new Dell. I just got all my pictures on it. Life has also just been flying by. I finally have some free time to just sit since I'm sick so I thought I would catch you up. :)

Caden turned 2 months old on August 30!





Also in August we took a trip to Austin to visit my brother. We had a blast and it was so nice to see his house and meet his roommates. Austin is such a fun city. We also got to see Kathy and Harold and Avery had the BEST time staying over at her house and playing with "Me" (Jamie). We didn't take many pictures but here is one of me and Ave when we met Kathy and Harold for brunch.



Caden turned 3 months old on September 30!



Avery has been astounishing us every day for the last couple of months. Every day she says something new or does something cute. It would way too long to tell you all of it but here are some funny things she has been doing lately:

-She calls brussels sprouts "yummy balls"
-She climbs up my chest of drawers and turns the radio on so she can dance (she even knows exactly what button to push!)
-She loves her little brother and can feed him and even wipe his mouth when he drools. She is so gentle with him and he always lights up and laughs when he sees his sissy.

-She is obsessed with Dora and Diego.
-She says thank you and please at the appropriate times.
-When she wakes up in the morning and I go get her out of the crib she says, "Hiiii Mommy!" and is so excited to see me. <3
-She just got her first purse (Dora of course) and she has to take it with us everywhere.
I could go on and on and on....



Caden turned 4 months old on October 30!



He also started rolling over! I have it on video but will post later after I upload it. He rolled from belly to back, and then back to belly. All at once! :)
