Halloween

We had a great Hallween this year! It was a very full weekend but so much fun!!! Here's some pics!

Baby Captain America

2 happy boys before leaving to trick or treat

Love my 2nd little Tigger (Kaelan was Tigger when he was a baby too)

Having a GREAT time!!!! It was really chilly but he didn't care. I have to share this hilarious story. Some of the houses in our neighborhood really get into it and decorate. A couple even set up "haunted house" type stuff with strobe lighting, music, and other effects. From the time we left the first house like this, all Kaelan could say was, "Let's go to the next haunted house." He didn't even care about trick-or-treating after that. He was only interested in getting to the next haunted house. Well, we kept hearing about this particular house that was scaring EVERYONE. We just had to go and we were ALL excited; Kaelan of course to see the haunted house and Mike and I to see his reaction. Luckily, we walked up behind some people so we didn't get the full effect of the haunt. As we walked up, a guy with a chainsaw comes running out of the garage to scare the 12ish-year old boy in front of us. Well, that was enough for K. He immediately started crying and wouldn't move ANY closer. It was awesome!!! We tried to console him to say it was just pretend and the wives there were really sweet and tried to make him feel better, but was having none of it. Needless to say, the chainsaw guy was all he could talk about for the next 24 hours. We have a video but we're so busy laughing it's probably a little inappropriate. hahaha

Tigger waiting while Captain America visits a house to trick-or-treat

"Trick-or-Treat!"

He did SO awesome this year. He actually said trick-or-treat almost every time (when not distracted by other kids' costumes or decorations). My polite little guy also said thank you which made us so proud. He loved doing it and we loved watching him.

One of the houses had a ginormous inflatable Tigger so we had to get a picture with him. Unfortunately, we couldn't get one to turn out but it was cute anyways.

Captain America!!!

He LOVED/S his costume. We got it the weekend before Halloween and he has literally wore it EVERY day since. As soon as he gets home from school he takes off his clothes and puts it right on. It's so adorable!!!! Now it's a great dress-up opportunity. Boys are so fun!

the quality is bad on these last few cuz they're taken with my phone, but I had to include them

6 months...a little late

Well, it's only a month-and-a-half late, but here are the stats from Max's 6-month well visit. Of course he is an extremely happy and healthy little guy. He weighed in at 15 lbs, 11 oz and was 26 1/4 inches tall. His head measured 17 3/4 inches around. Of course, because I procrastinated SO long, I can't remember the exact percentiles he fell in for height and weight but I wanna say it was only 40th for weight and even less than that for height. I tried to look it up online, but have you ever tried to read one of those charts? GEEZ!!!! I think I'll just ask them next month when we go in for his 9-month.

Since this, Max has had congestion on and off almost since he started school back in August. However, about a month ago he developed a pretty nasty cough that was starting to affect his sleep (and mine;)). Luckily, after taking him to the Dr., we found out it was just a lingering sinus thing (a cold) and after being on his bubble gum medicine (ammoxicillin) for a couple days now, he is back to normal. The grandparents will be happy to know that both boys have received their flu vaccinations (actually all 3 boys) although Max has to go back to get another dose next week.

Such a happy guy, and so proud of himself all the time. :)

Showing off their new Colts gear. K got 2 Colts shirts and Max got his first Colts jersey.

Complete with their names on the backs...awesome!!!! Was this a present for Mommy or the boys? Correct answer...BOTH!!!!

Giving Charlie Brown a big hug at Carowinds. This kid LOVES characters!!!

There's a new sheriff in town. "Howdy pardner!"

Here's some hilarious video of Max beginning to sit up (again, this was over a month ago-he's a pro now) and getting tickled after he's fallen over. These make my cheeks hurt!!!!
